Wishful thinking can move mountains apparently.



Just be thankful that she was thinking of you at that time. There are mothers who would be stoking up the cauldron chanting "Fail you biitch!"

Was she pleased you passed?

She was dead pleased! She is always telling people about 'our Sam' - I am sure some people oop north think I am chairman of ICI.....she is dead proud of me so I can't really moan about her and I guess she made me what I am....nothing much fazes me....

Well it can't do after coming face to face with a picture of my naked mother in the local college (she used to be a model!) - it was there for years!

You do indeed. Think less of what's wrong, and more of what is right.

I promise I'll try

So she is much better than some from Ab-Fab, who were very much self-centred. Dizzy but loving you isn't all that bad a combination.

Look on the bright side - it could have been at school... :shocked:

I loved the episode where she pulled a dog out of her bag and Edina said 'I said a laptop!'

I loved the one where she told Eddy that the police had called and that they had arrested her mother, then she says, that's funny, they haven't had a reccord in years

Pooky

Spud, I spent a long, long time in a very bad relationship doing what you're all doing now but I woke up one morning and thought, you know what, someone laughed at what I said yesterday...someone found me amusing, someone listend to me....that makes me worthwhile.

And I am, I'm worth knowing....whether that be by 1 person or the world, I'm actually ok as I am.

As soon as I realised that I came to terms with who I am.

I read here everyday, and everyday I admire what you all do with your lives, be it Maz with her weightloss, Sammy with her exams/going it alone workwise, buffy with her teaching stuff, BB with her grabbing this taking control lark by the horns and dealing with it.....you're all doing so well, getting on with your lives and living them. Yes they seem hard and a struggle but you've all got someone there behind you, even if they are driving you crazy, for you to turn to if it got to much.

I applaud all of you for what you're doing and just wish you could all learn to like yourselves.

You all seem to be lovely, lovely, people (I might be wrong about some tho )

Pookie,

I know you are right but I fight daily with 'appearances' and what is real life.

I know I'm not a bad person but in the past couple of years I've done some things I am not proud of and whilst it appears I have a wonderful happy home life, my struggle with how I look is directly related to 'other issues' between my DH and I. It is so intrinsicly (sp?) intertwined that I feel I am fighting a losing battle.

You are all so lovely, and it must be frustrating to hear me whinge, I am sorry, I'll shut up now xxxx

Spud when I first moved down here I felt very alone and inferior...everyone seemed to talk posh and I talked, well like Bubbles....I felt like an outsider at the school gates, at work, in my social life and anywhere to be honest....

Over the years many people who I thought were so switched on, confident and intelligent have shown themselves to have exactly the same thoughts about me and themselves...we are all the same....

People who make barbed comments have almost definitely got their own 'issues' and feel they must project their insecurities onto someone else....told you before Spud, who cares if your OH loves your squishy bits cos they remind you of warm baked bread....I can't think of a bigger compliment actually....must be like coming home...

I think it boils down to not caring what anyone else thinks about you. As long as you treat people how you want to be treated you have nothing to fear....

I have no friends down here except you girls online, which is a sad state of affairs really
