    Well I am in a terrible mood lately, all the black cloud emotions and I sometimes wonder if its hormone related. OH is getting on my nerves with every little thing. I keep crying all the time for no reason and just feel heavy.

    And I am NOT pregnant before one chirps in with that one:rolleyes:

    I hate feeling like this and tend to hide my feelings as no one is really interested anyway, not really.

    So I keep putting one foot infront of the other and carry on. But I do feel like my Signature at the moment.


    Aside from the oh bit I could have written that. I do not know what is wrong with me. I know the job is really getting to me now(but it has been for what nearly two years?). I don't think I have much choice but to give my notice in. I am depressed, really low stuck feeling I can't seem to get out of it. I just feel like a failure. my friends have had babies, got engaged and done well at work and this is going to sound truly awful but that just makes me feel worse. I wish I could cry but cos I am with Mum all the time I can't, I just get headaches.

    Sorry Lou, not sure that helps you at all but I hope you figure out what it isxxxxxx

    and obviously I am interested in your feelings and so is your family - but if you hide your feelings they won't know vicious circle? (((((((((hugs)))))))))))

    Good morning all. It's a lovely sunny day here. Not many people about and the big school cheque I was hoping for hasn't arrived but
    :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j
    positive vibes to all that need them.

    Buffy - you must go to the wedding. You will know the bride and the organising friend at least and everybody is very happy and friendly at weddings. You have to do these things when you are single, trust me. Why not ask your friend out to belatedly celebrate her engagement, catch up and explain. I'm sure she will understand - she is probably a little puzzled by your absence and will be missing you.

    Sammy - you'll be all partied out. :rotfl:

    Happy cleaning BB - I got 1 room blitzed last night. Tonight I will stain the decking.

    Oh - could someone please step between me and the M&S website.:o

    Morning!

    Im off to the garden in a bit to paint the giant shed Scott built, and the fences. I am posting a few pictures on FB later-he's built it for about £300 and sheds the same size in B&Q etc are about £1200 at least. It's mahoosive!

    Im trying to decide if I should go to the town centre first...I think I will...then can spend the rest of the day in the garden....

  • morning all.

    Trying to decide whether to apply for a job which on the face of it fits what I've done, but the job description sounds rather scary. The salary is excellent at 30-34k but I'm thinking it's a jump too far. Even OH said he thought the job description was a weird mixture of stuff.

    Apply what have you got to loose?

    My boss pointed out to me that I could apply for jobs that I immediately think I can't get what would I loose?

    DO IT!

    Hugs Lou. :grouphug:
    Go outside and dig something - wonderfully therapeutic I always find.
    No - seriously - hope you are ok. x

    Nope am already there with you trying to work out if 3% of 60 pounds is better then 5 off deal.

    (I think the 5 pound is better right?)

    I guess the worst thing is that I won't get an interview...........I hate filling in forms but at least I have one which has part of it already filled in as I've already applied for jobs within the organisation - it's just the relevant experience bit that needs re-writing. Feel too tired to put my mind to it at the moment, it will need some serious bull writing with the level of the job I need to be pitching myself as being suitable for!

    Looking at suitcases at the moment. I have an excellent large holdall on wheels that I got from Tesco a couple of years ago but the zip is inset so only a small flap opens and getting skirts in is a pain as well as I end up kind of folding everything at the edges first before it goes in and everything gets very crushed and squished....seen a couple of candidates but they are dear. The best one I've seen is £33 but that is a bit :eek: pricewise. There is a cheaper one at £16 which is more my kind of price range but Ibought a very cheap one from Wilkinsons 5 years ago and it was quickly wrecked at the airport. There are some horrifically priced suitcases around - some are over £100 - EACH!!!

    3% of £60 is £1.80 I think.
    Where have you found deals? I was just tempted by the latest magazine.

    Bookie........ahem........M&S website.........back off......

    Just been for a run, got home to various offspring asleep in bed still...bit hard getting going after the burger and chips I woofed last night but glad I went cos I feel a whole lot better. Its a gorgeous day out there and the sun is shining...

    Lou :grouphug: lovey.....I know how you feel, I go through periods where I feel very alone with a big black cloud hanging over you. I know you tend to 'disappear' when you feel like that but you mustn't you know..Please don't hide your feelings from us..we will listen, that is what we are here for...

    Well, if you spend 35 poundsor more you get five pounds off!

    not that I am encouraging you in any way!

    I might pop down to my M and S and see what clothes they have work wise first and then come back and order them off here xx
