  • PF Ive typed a huge message to you love and I decided I was sticking my nose in too much....Ive been there done that (and got 2 years worth of counselling at the end of it)... as someone now older and wiser (well def older!)...theres nothing I can say to make you feel better but Im sure you know the right decision to make in your situation and to be honest is it going to make you feel any worse than you do now? Maybe some closure on the whole thing will give you time to get some breathing space? (((hugs)))

    I feel lightheaded at the thought Daisy, my veins collapse as soon as the needle goes in so can completely sympathise with you.

    ahh that makes it extra awkward then....the thing is everyone can give you advice and say "well if it was me Id do x,y,z" but you need to get that moment where you think enough is enough- you know? It will click in your head one day.... trust me it will and you will look back in year's to come and think my god what was I thinking! X

    I've never had any blood taken and think I'd go to pieces if I needed to! It's not needles I'm scared of, it's veins. They really freak me out and I can't even look at my wrists without shuddering! Sorry it was so unpleasant, Daisy.

    PF - hope you're feeling a bit more cheerful. Boys aren't worth your tears!

    I'm up and dressed and had a very successful charity shop trip. Photos on my blog now. I'm wearing:

    Skinny jeans
    Floral chiffon blouse
    Long sleeved tee
    Pink cardigan
    Pink Converse boots
    Filigree earrings

    And my leopard print faux fur jacket when I was out. Just waiting for OH to return so we can make tracks for our weekend away! Hope you all have lovely weekends, will be back on Sunday. :)

    PF, hope you feel perkier soon. Daisy, last time I went to give blood the nurse gave me a row because I had 'shy veins' - I looked like I'd been attacked by a mad cat by the time I got out, both arms full of scratches.

    Outfit today:

    Navy and white two-in-one tank top
    Blue jeans (which are driving me insane falling down)
    Teal blue vintage beads
    Silver wrapped bead vintage necklace
    Silver lizard pinkie ring
    Silver froggy earrings
    Teal blue 'Belle Et Mimi' shoes

    Having a down on myself day, doesn't help that the house is a tip. Time to tidy up (might have a cuppa first.)
