    Sometimes it does you good to get mad Snaggles!
    Use the anger to turn things around!

    Numpty did you get your work stuff?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • I love Roger Moore.

    In fact in general I LOVE James Bond.

    Well that was a shite weekend. :(

    Night out was dull as hell, the friend I went out with has gone from the 'socialise occasionally' category to the 'drop as soon as possible without making it too obvious' category.

    On top of that, I think it's finally hit me that I put up with way too much crap from people for far too long (surprisingly I'm not talking about Dave there!). I've put up with being lonely and unnoticed in my marriage, I've put up with being walked over at work, I've put up with people who supposedly love me taking advantage of me when it suits them, letting me help them through whatever crisis they are having, and then being dropped as soon as they don't need me. I've put up with having all the responsibility for the kids and the household piled onto me because 'I'm better at that sort of thing', I've put up with being forced to make all the decisions and then being criticised if I've made the wrong one. I've put up with having very little support at the times I really needed it, ie through the process of having Ryan diagnosed, through having a small baby, through a bereavement....if it hadn't been for my friends on here I would have gone a bit crazy I think.

    I've spent the last hour crying with anger and frustration. My life needs to change. I can't be like this any more.

    God it's not often I'm in full-on rant mode is it? :o

    Good for you Snaggs:T We could all do with saying the same thing far more often..:j :kisses3: < cos you feel like poo, but are gonna get through all of this.:D :A
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Thanks - I do feel better actually for getting it out of my system. Sorry about the ranting! :o

    I think I'm starting to make positive changes, but it just kind of hit me today how long I've been putting up with things that weren't right, and what a huge task it seems to stop doing that.

    I'm really cross at myself because I didn't go to the gym this weekend too, because I wont get chance now till Wednesday, but maybe I can have a week of healthy eating to make up for it. I wasn't going to run until Wednesday anyway because my knee has been hurting a bit (Bunny, I really must come down and get my bouncy trainers sometime soon lol!), so it hasn't really set my RFL training back.
    "I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough."

    I need to MSE train my hubby!

    We were just up at the Co-op getting some shrooms and cheese, I headed straight for the reduced section and picked up half price shrooms and a couple of chicken kormas with rice (my fave) that were reduced to 85p - now in the freezer.

    no reduced cheese so we went to the regular section and he grabbed the ready grated stuff straight away, 250g for £2.80 :eek:

    I grabbed the 500g block next to it that was £3.21 and said "Get that put back, we can grate this!"
    He looked at me like my head had just turned inside out.

    It's just taken me about 30 seconds to grate the whole block into an airtight tub!

    Hugs Snaggs, hope you're OK :grouphug:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
