    Aww (gentle) hugs BB - hope it passes off soon. XX

    thankyou - I'm almost at the point of crying to be honest. I'm tired and cold and it just feels like someone permanently pushing me on both collar bones with their hands and at the same time having really bad rib cage bruising....

    I did wonder when I woke because I was flushed and my breathing was a bit short from the pain if I was having a heart attack. :o

    It should be a bloody strong wake up call for me and lose weight and stop eating so much food (I dread to think how much chocolate I've eaten over the last 2-3 weeks), but I'm probably too stupid to sort myself out even after that.

    Oy stop beating yourself up before you even start trying.

    As with the debt, break it down, attack a target, celebrate the small victories.....

    this is what I need sorting. Stood on my door step looking down the drive and then to the right to the bottom of the steps which lead up to my garden - it's all ice.

    DSC00379.jpg?t=1262953702DSC00380.jpg?t=1262953738

    the ice down the drive has been there for nearly a week and now it has got backed up each night and is now all the way to where the water comes off my garden and will keep 'growng' until there is a thaw and will then be weeks of water - the bit on the first photo which looks like water is from last night, all the section I cleared yesterday outside the door has re-filled and is solid again. It's about an inch thick outside the door and about 3 inches near the manhole cover halfway down the drive because there is a slight shift in the way it is layed.

    The water comes in through the top of the garden and then down into my lawn and eventually out of the brickwork next to the steps. It's constant for weeks at a time after heavy rain and I can only think that there is something which needs fixing in the gap between my house and the house above.

    Please ignore the John Smiths can and the fag packet frozen to the floor (both items my OH has had - not me!!!) - they escaped as the recycling bin was being moved the other day and as they haven't been collected still, I look like a right chavvy litter lout :rotfl:

    blimey - thankyou for reminding me:eek::rotfl:I got my AQA money yesterday, only £33 but as I was doing 50-60 hour weeks at the beginning of December I don't care I earned so little on AQA (although much of the 50-60 hours was unpaid :rolleyes:). Just unearthed the statement - phew, due date is the 18th!

    £33 going off my Barclaycard, so I'll be down to £144.

    I wish I could beanie.

    It's hard to describe but I just feel so tired by it all. After feeling so hurt that he could look to say something that is a) a lie and b) would be completely against how he wants things I feel really tired. I get angry, I tell him where he is going wrong in the relationship rationally but definitely and say that he needs to really think about what he is doing because he is messing up another relationship, but then it calms down and I get tired and back to not being to open my mouth when back to 'normal' and say 'it's over'. It's hard to describe. :(
    I know you dont do them but :grouphug:;):A
    but I'm probably too stupid to sort myself out even after that.
    THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH YOUNG LADY:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    you are not stupid, you are a lovely lady who has had a lot of shoite to deal with without any support....and you have survived and become a damn sight stronger person than most of us.....so stop it right now!:naughty::naughty::naughty:


    P.S happy new diary:D:kisses3:
