Morning guys:
Bunnie - sorry your feeling all mixed up, is there anything specific on your mind, or is it just general worries? I'm sorry that you can't stay at home, have you thought about benefits? It might not be for you, but maybe worth considering. I'm eligible for IB and DLA, but can't claim them as I feel too guilty. Luckily I don't *have* to work, but OH is trying to push me in to it - not cos we need the money, he thinks it would help. I really don't think it would. If you aren't well enough to work, you need to sit down and go thru your options.
Sorry aboutthe trouble sleeping - are you having nightmares? Or just struggling to nod off? Nothing worse than lying in bed, knowing you have to get up later on and not being able to get back to sleep

It's just general worries in my mind, I hadn't thought about benefits to be honest but I will look into it. I wouldn't mind doing a part time job that I would enjoy, but I don't want to go back into a job that I hate going to everyday.

The trouble sleeping is due to me not being able to nod off, many times I have sat awake watching the clock or watching hubby

I go through bouts of insomnia, and the only think I can do is just lie on my back, totally still with my eyes close, and picture a waterfall. doesn't usually make me sleep, but at least it gives my body and most of my mind a chance to rest for a bit.

I'm in a muddle today, hate being paranoid and insecure.

Morning (just) everyone

Feeling all mixed up today and not sure which way to turn, worrying about the usual things jobs and money. I sometimes wish I could just be a stay at home housewife, which makes me resentful towards my hubby for running up so much debt before we met.

He is currently on a debt management plan so the idea of me staying at home is out of the window until 2009 when he clears he debts, or we win the lottery (I can dream can't I?)

The effects of the sleeping tablets are now wearing off on me as expected and I am waking up constantly in the night again and struggling to get back to sleep

Hi

I was the same

My husband had a debt and had to work to help him. I also had my first home with him, so managed to get to the point of being able to give up my boring but well paid job after two years.

I would go back to the doctors tell him about your sleep problems. You can get tolerant to them.

:think: 3 hours 50 mins :think:

Not cancelled yet, though she leaves it quite late :doh:

Hope everyone is having, or will have a nice day. I'm too nervous to read any posts :doh:

I feel _pale_ and unwell I hope i'm not :silenced: later. I decided I was going to go into it and be positive, then I woke up :eek:

WEll done on thinking positively CCStar. Are things ever going to settle down? I've got very poor memory, so altho I've read all your posts, I'm not certain why your son cannot leave now?

My OH does semi-contracting, he is technically fully employed, but takes on contracts so we never know where we are gonna be. All this stuff about Korea is a bit scary, we very nearly went - we would have been there now if we had! The company pulled out at the last minute tho. Bit safer down in Hants I think!

He is looking for a place and looking for work, though I think he could try harder - fun seems to be his priority, I feel undermined by my family in that respect too:mad:

I used to live in Hants, Berks, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Surrey and Dorset. Now I live in Scotland. Do you have a bit of culture shock. If you have moved from north to south, or vice versa it can be very strange!

I am, but i'm gonna do it again shortly, you can never be too clean

I'll be trying to feel those vibes!

I thought about towards the end, just laying my cards on the table, if it goes well. Tell her that I like her and think we can become friends in our own right and that i'd really like to see her again, as I think we both have alot to offer a friendship.

Of course, when it comes to that, i'll just smile, stutter and give up

My usual say nothing approach never gets me anywhere

I've not really noticed it, but then again I've lived in Hants, Cheshire, Manchester, London, Midlands and a couple of other places
Gonna suss out Germany, never know, I might move there hehe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll go to Finland next. Unless I leave him. Don't get me started on that! Why oh why did I get married.
Beer is so expensive down here tho, can't believe it! Don't go to the pub anymore!

I think you need to set a timeframe that you are happy with. Don't let ANYONE else tell you what you should do about your Son, it is your desicion. I was under the understanding that I might have to leave my parents house at short notice if they had to move as soon as I was 16. I left of my own accord when I was 17. Brother is there still at 23, but is trying to find a job.

I'm sure you'll know what to do once you are there talking to her, you never know - you might not like her!
How come you get to have 2 showers and I can't even manage 1?
