    Sorry to hear Ian is being unreasonable Shaz, which he is. Grrrr Men! Hang on.... :confused:;)

    I can't read back all of what I have missed, but sorry to hear of Lady Morticia's accident. Hope things are improving!

    I met a young lady last week who was amazingly sweet and nice. Pity she's a celebrity (ish) and i'll never see her again, but it's nice to know there is at a girl I found nice still living :o

    Oops, forgot to say who it was, so i'm going to play a game, just to see if you are all reading my posts :p

    2 clues

    X-Factor

    Welsh

    No, it's not Rhydian :rotfl:

    It's my birthday tomorrow and OH and I are going to the mall and then out to lunch. OH's mum has put him on her insurance temporarily. :)

    Happy Birthday for tomorrow. You share it with the worlds sexiest person :T (other than yourself of course :o;) )

    Have a nice day :T

    Just to add, I feel tired all the time and have no energy for anything. It's a job to get out of my seat half the time. GP's say it's a mix of depression and the fact I used to do alot and now do a little, but I do not believe them as they fob me off all the time.

    Hope you get some answers and not the token "I see you 'suffer' from depression"...

    :rotfl: You can still boast now.....happy birthday btw, it's gone midnight :beer:
    Britney is now 28 :eek: I won't ask your age, don't worry!

    '3' is great. Had to get my copies from Australia and Switzerland as it wasn't released as a CD over here (like Radar wasn't) so it cost me more, but I like multiple copies of them. Her 'singles collection' has bombed, but then it's nothing that no-one has already anyway :o

    These healthcare professionals will fob you off as much as possible. I think hopsital will take you a little more seriously. When I was 5, I was told I had a heavy cold. 2 opinions later, it was Asthma. :rolleyes:

    Thank you. :D

    Hehe. I'm 23 now. :p

    I like Britney, ever since I was a young girl...well I say young...I was about 12.lol.

    I agree about the professionals.
    Sometimes it takes more than one opinion to get a firm diagnosis. I was only referred to the hospital because I'm a "complex case".:rolleyes:

    23....23....23....Nope, don't remember much about being 23 myself. It was only 10 years ago as well :o 1999...I was just starting work in a DIY outlet :rotfl:

    I was 22 when Britney first came on the scene. Remember telling flatmate I'd heard Baby One More Time on the radio by someone called Britney Spears and that i'd probably never hear of her again :rotfl: It's rollercoastered into an obsession since then, albeit a private one. All the bad times have made me less proactive with her personal life and news, but I love her just as much, just from a distance. No-one will believe me, but flatmate and you lot aside, I don't talk about her to anyone. I think I know people who don't even know I like her, yet if they came into my flat, they'd think I needed help :rotfl:

    Complex case...could you take that as a compliment? Maybe you could take it as at least being taken seriously? I don't know, let's just hope you get a diagnosis, so you know what changes, if any, you need to make to your lifestyle. You may have to eat more bananas or something :D

    Have a good day. I'm off to bed as there is just one measly Britney program on tomorrow and I want to be up for it (it's 11am but I need 10 hours in bed :o ). Too many channels are playing Christmas songs and one has been for 2 weeks. Talk about OTT .

    Have fun :T

    No you are not

    !!!!!!, he sounds like he is being selfish again. You go to all that trouble to get a night off and he can't be bothered to spend it with you:mad:

    I'd play it cool with him. I know you have a lot to deal with with your boys but he seems to mess you about as well.

    It seems like you are prepared to put up with him treating you badly because you are lonely and he knows it. Break the cycle, back off until he treats you better.

    I liked Britney's music before she got too sexual. She seems to have a lot of positive energy when she is interviewed.

    She also puts a lot of pressure on herself, then breaks down and does bizarre things.

    I know where you are coming from liking someone. It is comforting and if it is positive and helps you feel OK, then enjoy it. It shouldn't stop you forming real relationships tho. I reckon she would be very high maintenance and want all the attention if you had a real relationship with her.

    Grr my OH really annoyed me again

    He wanted to buy me something for Christmas that I don't need and said I would like the money instead. He created an uncomfortable atmosphere and it was horrible, it made me cry and I couldn't stop. He is good at changing the mood with his silences. I wish I didn't get bought down by it and if anyone has any way of coping with this, I would like to know. I am sensitive to atmospheres and wish I was strong enough to not get brought down by them. I feel if I don't react to it, he won't have the power but it does make my home life very tense being on my guard all the time.

    I felt quite good today until it got dark and my OH pssed me off:(

    Apparently, it has been the wettest November on record and it has got me down big time.

    I used to ring my mum when I got this low but I can't even do that now, but she was never that helpful anyway and got fed up with it. She advised me to leave him.

    I don't know whether to ring his mum and get some advice from her. She advises him about his weight but he does nothing to help himself.

    I am finding it hard to cope with my low mood and my OH bringing me down. I really wish I felt strong enough to leave but when I feel strong, I can cope with my OH faults.

    If I do leave him, does that make me selfish?
