  • Hey Sammy, hope it's a positive step for you being in contact with your dad.

    Bookie - if it helps, I would love to be gardening right now rather than sitting in this stupid office!

    Sammy, hope it's good news with your dad.

    Maz, tell him to get lost, it's your life! And he can't complain when you asked him to do it first. Maybe it'll be the kick he needs to be a dad for a change, if he realises there are others willing to step in and do the things he wont.

    I've just been to the psychologist, and got back to a card for a free Starbucks, yay! I'll save it and go when I'm feeling a bit down and want cheering up.

    Really nice day here, ex is here doing some bits, putting things out to dry and stuff. Then I've got a blood test later on and then I think I'll sit out and read, hopefully the weather'll still be nice!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Sorry I haven't been about, not been feeling my usual self. Been worrying a bit about going on a plane and the people I'll have to shout at if they DARE sit next to me (big big anxiety thing and can't stand being trapped - so might run away and hide in plane loo)

    Then again, all holiday money is sorted, my packing is done, all the paperwork is printed and needs to go in, my meds need to go in (around 40 tabs for 4 days! :O ) and OH needs to pack. Then maybe I can curl up in a tiny ball and hide til tomorrow

    Oh elfen sounds like a nightmare.... but i hate to say it, i very much doubt that there will be any chance of noone sitting next to you on the plane... generally all seats are taken aren't they?

    Where are you going?

    Can you not get something for your nerves before you go, so you're maybe not as anxious.... locking yourself in the loo wouldn't be a good solution babes.... (hugs)
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Anything I can help with Elfen? (Ex ATC/CREW/Despatch/Check in/husband a pilot?)Any questions?
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    I am mostly enjoying - maybe too much.
    Little problems like empty fuel tanks and fridges keep getting in the way of the enjoyment. Not to mention mortgage etc! Trivia I know! :rotfl:
