Good to know your family remembered your birthday Miroslav :j I was devastated when my Mum forgot mine ~ my o/h had to remind her :mad:

I'm ignoring the fact that you like Britney

Its quite nice now Urban if you can get a sheltered spot, at least the rain has gone. I am definitely going to have a go ~ the house is lovely and quiet so maybe tonight would be a good night to start

Its definitely easier once the baby is born Roversbabe ~ I met loads of people through the Mums & Tots groups I went to............just a shame we have all lost contact...(we moved out of the area)....Good luck!

Yes, happy that heavy rain has stopped philippa (got caught in it earlier) but its blowing a gale out there!!! Will have to stake myself to the ground incase I get blown away. If you see a human shaped kite with wellies floating past...................

Hope you have a good meditation. Just park any thoughts that creep in, and keep parking them as many times as needed :0)

Happy birthday miroslav - drink on me :beer: It's heartning to know that men are also looking out for partners - so much 'Bridget Jonessness' around makes me feel it's only women!

I'm sorry people have had bad luck with going to the doctors. It was only 13 days ago (and counting!) that I finally came out of a 6 week 'black hole'. I've broken up with people before, but nothing so that I felt as if I was going mad It was really scary and I couldn't stop crying. I guess it was a form of depression? Coming on here has helped as I know we're not alone. It sounds like we've all had a tough time recently - but collectively supporting each other is helping us individually to be strong!!

House hunting at the mo - saw a small place today, my friend said it didn't matter as it will 'only be you there' :eek:

P.S. Would love to try meditation, but scared where my thoughts may lead and have tinitus so can't be in a quiet atmosphere.

Tinnitus not a problem to meditate with, I had a sitter who was an ex-diver (deep sea) and through an accident he had this bad. What you do is stop listening to it - i.e. stop paying attention to it. Sounds flippant but I dont mean it like that honestly, you can do it. I've gone into a meditation in the middle of a spiritual fair full of stallholders and customers. Noise was loud, I zoned it out. I also used to sit regularly on the main road to a fire station so you learn to zone the sirens out.
If you feel you may be uncomfortable with anywhere you go in meditation, then decide on place (or object) you feel safe and protected before you start (can be anywhere, doesnt have to be on earth), and at anytime you feel uncomfortable go to that place/object and let it make you feel safe and protected (embrace the feeling), be aware of your feet touching the ground underneath them, then slowly become aware of the rest of you.

Many people when they begin meditating get very upset, but thats very normal. Embrace the feeling and let it out.

Yep, friends are great arent they!!!!!

Hi and hugs to all.

Will chat more tommorow. They keep a log of internet usage so better go.

Yes, some remembered in the end. We aren't at all close, but it's nice I wasn't totally forgotten.

Your Mother forgot yours? Oh dear, I hope you've never let her forget it!

You can't ignore Britney, she'll just not go away

I'm looking, only young ladies don't look at me Or if they do, they wish they hadn't

Maybe now I have hit a new decade, my luck will turn
