thanks for bumping this taxi, i've kept wondering how you are ISOM but haven't been online long enough to do something constructive like find your thread. Sorry been a useless friend. I really hope all is well with you.

ISOM is fine. She has been suffering from migraines and has posted on the Lesser spotted Weezl's thread. I speak to her on FB so i will leave a message that you have all been asking.

soree didnt mean to worry! Am still here..plodding on; one foor in front of the other for now. Money wise not much to report other than the emergency fund is where it needs to be so thats a weight off. Am paying mins and have been doing bits and bobs to try and keep myself sane but after 7 months with no structure or routine it is hard to stay motivated to be honest. Mum had a lovely stay and is coming for easter and if I'm honest has been a worry as not herself after the last fit and its knocked me a bit, as it has her. Loving someone so much is hard but were closer now than ever cos been through a far bit jointly of late. I'm okish but the unresolved work issue is taking toll as you can only stay positive for so long! Thankfully friends continue to be lovely and offer much support; Weezls baby #2 arrived safe, well and gorgeous so my latest project has been to do a blanket for him which is almost finished!! So there I am...partly havent posted cos not much money stuff to report and dont want to moan! Thank for noticing I was mia though!!

No but things are at least moving along the process beanie...it surely must end one day! Thankfully friends continue to be lovely and supportive and Im keeping myself busy so as not to go insane with brain whirr which continues even when Im asleep so literally 24 hours...money is a worry but I live more frugally than I did. The hardest thing is not being able to plan in any way for the future because I dont know whats what. At times like this I really dont know how people cope without a faith and I am certain that there is a plan, its just taking a while to be revealed. Most of all I think I just feel very battered, sad and exhausted...one step in front of the other. I'm seeing gp on Thurs as tablets need changing IMO which I'm not looking forward to as always side effects but Ive been pateint in letting them work (asside from the odd plea!) and just need some light at the end of the tunnel. I do (excluding work) feel incredibly loved and cared for in a way I never have done before and that will remain with me as long as I live.
I was very sad to hear of a womans suicide today (via attick24's blog). My heart goes out to her family, and those like her, that feel the simply cannot go on. In some ways for them its a blessed relief from their daily pshchological struggle with life but devastating for those left behind who love so much. Dont worry its not something Im thinking of - quite the opposite actually as makes me so thankful that tomorrow is a new day and despite not knowing what the future holds I know that it will be better than this. I will never, in many ways, be the same person again. In some ways thats not a bad thing but in others its awful because I know that I will find it very hard to trust new people and work collegues after this - in any context. Anway, sorry hadnt meant to be all deep but also wanted you to know where I'm at.
I would ask though from now on if people would like to know how work related things are from here on could they pm me and I can respond accordingly. I dont want to give glib/meaningless/coded responses but also am excepionally cautious about what I write anywhere...which I'm sure you all can appreciate...it just feels safer and more comfortable that way.
And off to bed I go...I have a day out tomorrow ith a friend who felt I needed (rightly) to get out of the house so am going to England!! Such excitement! No doubt we will have a good old natter and put the world to rights plus may even come up with a cunning plan or two along the way! My car is in to be fixed (making a horrendous noise any speed over 60...bearings apparently which, as I guessed, is as expensive as it sounds!
Have also updated my blog so if people interested you can see my latest projects and cute cat piccies attached!
night night!

Hi gang, Just popping in to see how it's going ISOM. *waves*

I'm very sorry to hear that Isoke has been a poorly puddy cat, please administer some hugs from me. I feel your pain on the teeth front too, you poor thing. Teeth are the worst thing painwise. (and I'm including childbirth in that!)

A while back you were wrestling with the Snowball hon - if you still have questions please feel free to pm me - The Snowball is my specialist subject! (and it's everybody's best friend in a debt situation!)

Love to all, I haven't been posting much on DFW because I find it takes me back to the dark days of our debt - and I get a bit upset (but I'm working on it.)

Aww hello lovely Jacks...if its less traumatic for you say hi on the blog instead! Snowball has, um, kinda died (a) cos I can only pay mins at the moment (b) never quite sussed it if Im honest...I will try again when I can make more payment as sure it will be an incentive then!
Nice quiet w/e here and very little money out (78p for milk!) so chuffed with that! Mum here and after yummy rich food yesterday felt quite ikky so we've been chilling. Happy easter all!
