    Was going to say I'm feeling better today but I think stronger is the better word when I think on it.
    Feeling stronger is a real good sign hun. :j:j
    I didn't get the job :(
    RS - they're obviously !!!!!! for not recognizing your strengths and appointing you!! Have you asked for feedback and advice for the future?
    they emailed rather than phoning :rolleyes:
    That's so RUDE and impersonal!

    I know what you mean about playing out scenes in your head. I take that as one of the first signs for me as I can actually bring myself to tears thinking of the most elaborate and often destructive scenarios.
    God Lou, you could have written that about me! And it certainly doesn't work if I try to put a positive spin on it and ridicule my fears, if anything it makes it worse.:confused::confused: I'm beginning to think that it's the true freaks that don't mentally play out tragedies; at least that's my theory and I'm sticking to it:D:D

    Had to drag B out of bed this morning, complaining of headache and being cold :(...Have to say I feel a tad dodgy this morning, stupid cough, lack of sleep and feeling soooo tired!
    sally - hope you both feel better soon
    I had a long chat with lovely golferman last night and things are going to be so nice when he gets home... i just need to keep working on clearing up spotty face and some emergency liposuction before he gets here next week and it'll all be perfect!
    TMI ALERT!!!!!
    Maz - since I've had Evie and my periods returned, i feel like a spot has become this season's must have accessory cos i'm never without one! Glad that golferman is working out for you!

    i have visions that you've poured petrol on your neighbours and set them alight.

    Things in the house of cat are good. I'm laughing at evie's attempts to crawl (she has the feet going forward, the bum goes up in the air, one arm props her up and the other becomes a pivot point that she then start to spin around:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, have to go get an invitation. Evie is inviting her aunty out for a coffee and muffin on aunty's birthday next weekend; of course this means that mummy gets to have a muffin too as it would be RUDE not to:cool:

    No, haven't got a gum shield - I haven't seen anyone wearing them actually. Mind you, most of them don't even wear shin guards.

    The velcro on mine is very annnoying - the soft bit faces up, away from the skin, and the scratchy bit faces down, so you have to line them up absolutely perfectly, otherwise you end up with scratched and sore calves. If they just swapped them over, it wouldn't happen. Design fault, methinks!

    Get a nice piece of paper and in your non writing hand (i.e left if you're right handed and vice versa) write Dear Auntie ....... I would like to invite you to join mummy and me for a coffee and a muffin on.... to celebrate your birthday, Love Evie xxx

    :rotfl:Thanks Cat. I have asked for feedback - believe it or not they emailed back and asked if I would like the feedback by email, phone or would I like to drop in to the office and do it in person! I suppose it's good of them to offer but I don't really want to trek over there again to be told what I did wrong. I've gone for the email option but not heard anything else yet.

    Ah stuff it they will only deliver to home as it would be my first order which would mean me chasing couriers about so that's saved me from spending! :rotfl:

    Don't do it- that 10 could be a nice drink with OH, a ticket to a film or anything other than more clothes that will languish in your wardrobe!

    (nice though :rolleyes:)

    You're right, and see above, plus I am currently wearing a similar dress (in grey though not black)... still not quite broken the urge to rush to buy something when I'm fed up or bored :o
