but you could sky/v plus it (assuming you have it unlike moi)

I'm not sure what we've got. Well, we've got a V box of some sort. Plus an antiquated Freeview box upstairs.

I could, if I was sufficiently organised, record it, as long as it didn't clash with cricket / rugby / anything on any other channel anyone randomly switched to without realising I was planning to record. :mad:

And as long as I could find a disc with sufficient space! I spent 15 minutes last night failing to find a disc, and as someone else was watching I couldn't interrupt their viewing to see what I could delete.

Plus I very rarely look and see what's on at 3 pm, tend not to look at anything before 9 pm, because that's when I can collapse. And if I record too much, I never get round to watching it! :rotfl:

I know you're dieting/eating sensibly atm, but are you eating foods which are good for energy too? Pasta, seeds, dried fruit.. I think!

I'm sure you're eating everything right, whereas I'm sat here eating junk or just not eating at all - today, between getting up at 10am and OH getting home at 5pm, I had one cup of tea, four shortbread biscuits and a glass of lemonade In my defence, I've done nothing but eat since OH did get home though!

After DS and DD, i was quite happy to go back to work - but i'm feeling the complete opposite this time!

I've got another option to ponder now - along with the other million running around my head!
If..........OH gets his new job, it'll be a January start. His wage on the new job, even for the first year of probation, with be near enough the same has his and my wages now!
I may be able to take a career break from work (up to 5 years ) - so although i'll still be employed, I won't actually get paid.
Then after the career break, i'm entitled to go back on my usual terms (part-time and term-time). Unless, as we suspect, i'm be made redundant before too long so i'd still be entitled to my redundancy pay!

I'm proud to say i never got any armpit hair! Ever! My friends think i'm a bit of a freak!

Hi 3, haven't noticed you about much last few days. How are the summer holidays treating you?
Wow, a 5yr career break - what is it that you do?


I have just typed out and then deleted a big long essay about how I have just realised I have lived through 5yrs of pnd. It started straight after ds2 was born and only went away about 18mths ago...I feel so sad, and so upset, about how I have ruined everyone's lives. I am on the verge of tears, but need to pull myself together or I will just slip back, guilt is a terrible thing:(

You have NOT ruined everyone's lives! I had PND for a similar period, probably from after DS1 was born. I've had spells of depression on and off ever since. I have 3 fantastic boys and a lovely husband. Don't blame yourself for something you couldn't help!

guilt's not only terrible, it's entirely useless. If you can't 'pull yourself together' please go and see your GP, ask for counselling if you don't want ADs. Please!

To be honest I think I might delete my post...I don't know why I wrote it! I need to get a grip, I know guilt does not help but I feel so bad! If only I had admitted it,,,dh kept telling me 'I wasn't right' but I kept ignoring him and would act 'fine' for a few days/weeks to trick him. I don't want AD's I don't know why...he is on them and they have helped him.

I'm really sorry to have come crying to everyone on here, but dh is so busy with a very important project, and I know he would drop everything if he knew how I felt, but I really want him to complete it...

Sorry

That's what we're here for!! I don't really know what to say.. I think SS said everything I would have said though. Even if you don't go to the docs just yet, keep talking to us here. Promise?
