  • Hope you're feeling a bit more upbeat now, I would have an early night tonight. If you stay up late you will only feel worse tomorrow and tomorrow is a brand new day!

    I have bought tickets for Euromillions as I have seen my dream house just short of the £1m mark so need to raise some funds :rotfl:

    My parents would be so disappointed in me it would be untrue. As would any buddies of mine. Its my horrible secret.

    Trying to get some money that I am owed for my redundancy but can I get the effing Job Centre to send me the relevant form? No I can't. Can you use a direct telephone number? No. You have to phone round the whole United Kingdom to get to the bloke sitting in the office 5miles down the road. USELESS!!!!!!!

    Rant over. Feel loads better. Ta.

    Can you plan something positive to do tomorrow to try and take your mind off? I always feel like this when my son goes away so I know how difficult it is. Your child will be fine and will have a fantastic time and won't think about you twice. Deep down you know that's true.

    Try not to think about it and I think you have two others, so try and do something with them?

    Will you OH be around? That will help too.

    Good luck and try and enjoy your "freedom" of not having child No. 2 around :)
