*More positive vibes daily chat**17th March

Hey y'all

Not being funny but the board looks really depressing. Now that the diaries have gone up above all I can see is the threads thats say people can't cope - they are depressed, going through hell......I almost wept this morning....

So come on lets show the newbies and those that are down, (anniestar get yourself in here!) that there are positives to be had in this situation, there is help out there and people have gone through what they have gone through and survived.

I am sorry but I feel really strongly now that moving the diaries was a stupid move!

    Morning! Had a bit of a grump last night but my (almost)OH sorted me out good style so now I feel MUCH better :D

    Have a great day everyone!!

    EDIT: just re-read that its wasnt meant to be rude but it sounds it - I meant to say he talked me through my grump!

    Morning :D

    I agree the board looks awful without the diaries. If they move chat and the challenges too, it will be even worse :rolleyes:

    Positives thinking for me.......I will definitely do half an hour of some sort of exercise today ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I don't really get why the challenges have moved. Aren't they an essential and integral partof becoming a DFW? PLus, some seem to have moved and others haven't. It's all a bit random as far as I can see.

    I had to be rescued last night form upstairs which took a full hour and an electric jigsaw:eek: ..........no kidding!!!

    Memory Loss Clinic assessment for MIL today at 11am, hopefully we will start to get to the bottom of her problems.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Nothing quite so exciting.....

    Went to bed last night about 10ish, Mike and Little DS were downstairs Big DS was in his room. I heard him go downstairs for something but he couldnt open the internal door into the living room at the bottom of the stairs.

    Basically the inner workings of the door handle had imploded and the only way the door could be opened was for OH to saw through the bit that keeps your door closed it took a full hour and about 6 jigsaw blades.

    So glad it didnt happen this morning otherwise we would all have been trapped upstairs:eek:

    I now have a door with the surround ripped off and the handle mechanism sawn in half:rolleyes:

    Lol at Lou's antics last night and visions of the innards of the door imploding :)

    Morning everyone else and hugs to those that are feeling down today.
