Have stopped watching that now, QI is on BBC2 and I love Stephen Fry, he is very funny. Much more cheerful than that movie.

OH has phoned to say he may be home at 10.30, so fingers crossed. Might not have to be on my own for too much longer.

:hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:
Hi guys - Tiff signing in!:rolleyes: Don't say I didn't warn you!:D
Big hugs to rose, flis, miro, feelinggood, slayerx, razorb., sazbo, gillette, mrs.a, bunnie, muffin, cc, regularsaver(welcome:) ), elona, and please forgive me if I've missed anyone out.:o

Well, it's been an up and down week for everyone - me too. I'm sorry I haven't been around much this week guys but I have been thinking of you all.x

HEY ROSE! Sorry for shouting.;) Hope you're all right angel? I'm hoping the reason you haven't posted is because you've just been too tired to do so. I know it's been a hard work week for you and I hope the new job is going well. I hope things have settled a little at home for you hun. Your friend will miss you as much as you miss her - but it's not the end hun, it's just a change of geography! When you get chance, I hope you'll post to bring us up to date. Thinking of you x

I'd suggested a while back that we post dates that are particularly hard for us. She'll probably kill me for this:o but Rosie has had some awful experiences between the 16th and 19th October.

May I suggest that when we get chance, that we send Rose some huge hugs from this thread and remind her of all that's wonderful about her?
I know all of us will be here to support her if she asks for help, but I think that when you've had something awful happen to you at a particular time, it's wonderful to hear some positive things then about yourself and what you mean to other people and that you are more than just what happened to you.

It really helps just to get you through the day and helps us start reclaiming those anniversary dates back as [I]our own[/I], by letting people care about you and by treating yourself, no matter how small when possible.
Put a set amount of time aside to cry your eyes out and lie in bed and get some of the pain out - but try not to go over that time limit. Thinking ok, I've shouted,cried...etc. for all the reasons this day is so hard for me, now I'm taking some of it back to balance it all out.

Plan something even if it's just a putting some makeup on, (no - not you miro,saz,slayerx!;)), -{no offence meant guys!:o}, - watching a light hearted film, cartoons - forget about all the responsiblities of the day and do exactly what YOU want to do, no matter how silly - jump in puddles, crunch on autumn leaves, have a hair cut (cheaply at colleges), anything - bring some pure fun into the day, without worrying what people think.

It's all about making it your day again instead of making it the day of xxxxx. Every year, increase the fun bit, more and more. We all have very good reasons for having our bad dates, but that doesn't mean we should suffer for the whole day. We give our feelings due respect about the day and I know it won't change what happened, but it gives you a little bit of power back. The days do not belong to the people who hurt us anymore and we're going to get through the day with at least one positive to show whoever hurt us that we're still here and we're survivors, not victims!

So, accordingly, I name 16th-19th of October as Rose's Days.:A
Rosie, I will give you a good reason every day from 16th-19th why I appreciate you. So watch out!:D

On to our gang in a while - sorry if my posts get too long. Sometimes it can help if you have missed reading the posts for a few days as you can sometimes see a pattern (i.e. someone needing to vent) or you can also see that as well as people going down, they get right back up again - real inspiration.
Hope all is well with you and to say i've missed you all this week.
Much love,
Tiff. xxx

Feeling better today, although a bit brain dead at this time of day:D

Was tired and had too much pesky housework yesterday, so felt brain dead to think of owt to write by the time it was done.

We christened our new slow cooker and it was great.

It is a nice day today, so going out, making the most of it.

Hope everyone else has a good day today.

Shall make sure Rose is well looked after next week, and the rest of the time, of course. We are all great people on here.

Good morning everyone. :wave: Well, I made it to yoga this morning, hurrah! All thanks to flis's encouragement and Miro's WD40 last night Enjoying a nice cuppa now...

Good to hear from you CCStar. So what did you make in your slow cooker? I've started using mine more again, now that the weather's cooling. Aren't we just the model Old Stylers?

And good to hear from you too Tiff, we missed you too. rose, hope you're doing ok - we're all thinking of you.

Hugs to everyone, have a good day.
