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.

Lou, I think I know what you mean, you feel really down but you keep it wrapped up inside because you don't want to bother other people with it. I sometimes think that my friends deserve the happy, bouncy me rather than the down and quiet me. But what I've found is when things do go wrong and it all comes out, they rally right round and tell me off for hiding it.

As for feeling like a ghost, tell me about it, in the evenings when all the boys are home from their various jobs, if they get on a LAN party, forget it, I'm invisable. That's one of the reasons I've asked my parents for an xbox for my birthday in exactly a month.

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)))))))))))

I'm full of cold today supposed to be going out tonight but I don't really feel like it at the moment.

Buffy & Louise :grouphug: I went to an inspirational day led by a chap called Chris Moon last Tuesday - he had his right arm and leg blown off by a landmine in Mozambique :eek:

There was this one thing that he said that stuck in my head -
don't say things like " I hate it when.... or I wish that ***** wouldn't happen."
Instead teach yourself to say "I wish I didn't mind that ........ "

I've been trying that and it does seem to work (for me anyway)

Blackruby - how did the interview go - where you were going to choose either the blue or red shirt?

He also said don't compare yourself to others who are worse off because that just makes you feel really guilty about feeling down yourself!
Which is totally true!

Hey BB, it turned out it was a commission based sales job that goes door to door. So I didn't take it on medical reasons for my leg and personal reasons because commission is so unpredictable.

Lou - I like to read the daily messages on this site.

and have found over the last few months that they really help. A bit American in style sometimes, but really lovely thoughts.

don't blame you - I don't think I could ever do a commission/sales type job, not my thing at all.

I still have a noise boiler _pale_ . It is rattling on for about 5 minutes, stops for about a minute then I hear the 'whoomph' of the flame coming back on and it re-starts this kettling thing....

I've also ordered a suitcase in electric blue and it was very MSE as it is a site mentioned on Martin's email - it was reduced from £129 to £38 and is an extra large, extralight weight one. Hopefully it will arrive on time!

Ooh dear on the boiler, our pipes are a bit old and when you flush the loo it makes a right racket, but if you turn on a tap, it stops, landlord says it's air in the pipes.

Kinda grey here, hope it brightens up coz me and the girls are going the park today.

I've put it back on the timer. I turned the timer off by mistake yesterday afternoon when it was bubbling away so I didn't have any hot water this morning so I popped it on and there's enough now to do the washing up.

A house in Poole was blown apart today when a boiler exploded.
Witnesses described how when the explosion occurred the owners bra was blown clear off and now hangs, charred and redundant from the lamp post.
The road outside was littered with the smoky remains of Ann Summers products that are thought to have been drying out on top of the ill fated appliance.
The force of the blast has left the owner's 12 inch black vibromaster 3000 buried deep into the concrete of the wall opposite.
The lady was treated in the ambulance for shock, her once flame red hair now frazzled and black. Paramedics attempted to remove her nipple tassels which may unfortunately now be permanently melted on!
The RSPCA arrived shortly after the incident to retrieve her distressed but luckily unharmed dog from the neighbour's tree.
