:rotfl: In my 14th post on the 4th depression thread, what was my fourth word on line 3? :rotfl: NO! Don't so a search! :rotfl:

Your 14th post on the 4th depression thread was post number 449. However, there was no line 3 in post 449 - there was only one line.
So by adding up this line in post number 449, to your next two lines, the 3rd line is actually in post number 452.
However, the third line only has two words.
So by adding up the 2 words in post number 452, to your next two words, your 4th word is ''of'', and can be found in post number 453 which was posted at 5.46pm on 16th July, 2007.
Also on this date...
A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hits Japan with a tsunami warning being issued in Niigata Prefecture, Honshū.
A $280,000 Porsche 911 is stolen from a showroom in Penang, Malaysia and following recovery from the police is stolen again on the same night.
I think you had chicken for tea, your fm was probably taking care of her ingrown toenails...
And I so need to get a life!:D

Here we have Michael Buble wanting to give you a joint Christmas & Birthday hug


Can you believe I searched Michael Buble :eek:

Awww thank you hun - just what I've always wanted! I'll unwrap [STRIKE]him[/STRIKE] - it! - later.

Erm, don't you mean you ''searched for Michael Buble''?!!! On second and third thoughts, I think I prefer your version of searching him - that's me, not you!:rotfl:
Thank you for your lovely Christmas and birthday wishes, miro hun - they were muchly appreciated.

Everyone else must think I smell, as lots of shower gels and deodorants :rolleyes: I've already got 23 shower gels upstairs as b'days and xmas everyone buys me them and by the time the next lot come around, I get more :rotfl: I'll never need buy shower gel again :cool:

I'm sure people don't think you smell. And besides, it's very mse - think of all the money you'll save this year. Maybe it's down to the ''Lynx effect''?!:eek:

Please don't suffer in silence hun - post whenever you need to.
Much Love,

First of all, you get your hand smacked by sazzy for saying sorry - what on earth have you got to be sorry for?! You post here as and when you want to hunnie.
I'm sorry you're so low angel. I know yours is a complicated situation and it's not being helped by relationship issues and with you being physically poorly atm as well. So we break this down a bit shaz and see what may help, okay?

You really need some respite and tlc for yourself, imho. So now we have to put you first - even ahead of the boys and ian. I feel that too much help is spread around to those around you hunnie when you really need it yourself. If we get you looked after, then the boys will benefit too.

I really think it would be a good idea to contact your dr and the CMHT/CPN and social services this morning, angel. Tell social services that you can't manage the boys this weekend - that you desperately need help. They can access immediate support for you if you really open up to them. You're mentally and physically exhausted by the sound of things and even if they could manage to find other options for the boys this weekend, I think it would give you valuable breathing space - and you shouldn't feel bad about it either. Anyone in your situation would be feeling like you do, shaz and you are as important as everyone else when it comes to needing help.
I've been down the Tiff Archives again, and here are some contacts for you. I know they may seem a bit overwhelming but you won't get any more help unless you ask for it. As you've listed yourself as living in Wakefield, I've tried to put local links for you whenever I could.

You're a wonderful mum and a really lovely person, but you're not a machine. Everyone needs a break at some point and sometimes you have to ask and let other people help. Please don't ''cope'' until you break sweetheart. You're an amazing person shaz and right now, you need to put yourself first - and no guilt trips about doing that either! Please call in some reinforcements angel and keep us posted.
Keeping you in my thoughts hunnie - be kind to yourself shaz.
Much Love,

As soon as I think she's in distress, i'll do the right thing. At the moment, the times of the day she is a little more awake are worth it for us and for her.

Hopefully the snow will clear and you can get back to normal soon.

:wave:

That's a big post :eek:
But yes, you do need to get a life after all that info

I searched for Buble yes. The thought of searching him does the opposite for me, as to what it does for you. :eek:

Lynx effect has never worked for me. Shame they don't do a lynx mask for my face :rolleyes:

I can't post that much at the moment as I am currently an inpatient in a psych. unit. Hopefully I won't be here too long. I hope everyone is doing OK (((HUGS))) to all.

Oh, Miro Im sure thats not true! Remember anyway that women like men who are kind and nice and have a good sense of humour! Looks aren't as important to most women as they are to men, which is a shame for women really.:rolleyes: I find men very attractive if they can make me laugh!

Best wishes for your cat. We will be here for you if you need to talk should she take a turn for the worst.

Tiff - you do work hard on this thread. What a lot of links you found!

Best wishes RBK.

evening all, thanks for all the links tiff, made a few phone calls, but no help available/ or putting the kids in care for a day or two respite, would harm the boys mentally( she was implying they wouldnt feel loved and pushed out of the family home) felt like banging my head against a brick wall, both lads in bed now, so tucking into my xmas choccies. your thoughts for the day gave me a smile
rbk, (((hugs))) get well soon hun
i agree with you beachbeth, i dont go for a man with good lucks, but someone who can make me smile.

hugs

Hi lovelies :hello: Just a quick check in with you all. Been working at home since wednesday because of the snow - which sounds great, but really isn't because it's more difficult to do a lot of aspects of my job from home, which is rather ironic given that I work in the web sphere of things:rolleyes: A lot of things just take longer, plus trying to make head or tail of my tax situation (and failing) so I'm feeling very tired tonight and very grateful it's the weekend.

Gonna watch some telly and unwind now, but just wanted to say hi to you all and big hugs especially to Miro, RBK, Tiff, Ethel (and Ethel's mum) and Shaz.

Much love,
Sazzy xxxxxx

I think i'm kind and nice, but that has led to me being used. I honestly think no-one will ever like me. I think people laugh at me rather than with me, so I don't think that counts. I will always be alone, I just know it.

I think it's not long at all now. I'm going to be lost without her. 3 in 8 and a bit months has just taken it all out of me. I'm tired of life, tired of losing everyone I love and tired of flatmate and her bad attitude. I really hate life.

This is the trouble. Im an easygoing and nice person and there are always people out there that will take advantage of this. However, there are plenty of people out there that wouldn't too.

Im sure there are plenty of women out there that would appreciate you and even love you if they got to know you but its finding a way of meeting them. Sometimes people start as friends and then love grows. Could you take an evening class or do voluntary work? (probably not at the moment if you are caring for your poorly cat) Perhaps when you are feeling a bit better and the weather is better you could get out there and meet people? If you are doing voluntary work then people are nicer to you and grateful for your help. Ive heard that people in charity shops can be really nice for example. Sorry if I come over as patronising but I really think there are women out there that are nothing like your flatmate who would think you were a lovely person and nice friend. All the best, Miro.
