    thanks for all your kinds words, thanks munchki!

    i do truly believe that everything happens for a reason though, and if i hadnt had to struggle and go through what i have been through then i wouldnt be the determined person i am today.

    im sure everything will be alright in the end (for all of us)

    onwards and upwards we shall go!

    xxxxx

    Best of luck for everything mimms-onwards and upwards :-)

    Thanks Saucy :) glad you're feeling motivated, and good idea about the £10 a day thread, need to do that myself. Kids are 1, 2, and 4; there's nowhere to go - not with all 3 kids, oh the stress! - but thanks, and thank you MM, that made me cry worse lol! Have had a big long rant to my friend and am feeling a bit better, he's still going to hear about it later though. Does anyone else have the thing where they start crying if they get really angry? At which point I stop making sense and OH thinks i'm trying to get sympathy by crying, great...ah well, it'll be OK I guess :)

    Hi Paula, I'm exactly the same!! Annoyed...angry...shouting...crying! It's so annoying!
  • Oh No, the worst thing ever has happened.. I seem to have broken my F5 button :eek:

    I don't really have a man rant, I bring it all on myself. I'm naturally a bit of flirt and a pretty friendly person, guys always take this the wrong way & even though I can see it coming most of the time I've not quite figured out how to stop it. I'm in this sort of situation with a few guys atm to varying degrees and it only really dawned on me this weekend, mostly because 2 tried to kiss me and 1 gave me this lovely 'I think your awesome' speech.. I kinda fancy his best friend :o

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not the most amazing girl on the planet, i'm probably the biggest f*ck up ever but I work in a club so theres always alot of guys around - drunk guys, idiots, drunk idiots :rotfl:

    I'm not sure if I like any of these guys though; i'm a commitment phobe especially because I can't afford therapy for my child if I screw up! Hence why I need to go out tonight and have a rant with my girlies but I know for a fact I'll see at least 2 of the problem guys :o

    Maybe I do have a man rant, just a different kind of man rant. I'm soooo confused.

    I do that! Especially when I've got PMT. Nobody understands it.
  • Jesus, you guys keep making me all gooey inside when I am here to become a mix of Alan Sugar/ Margaret Thatcher/ Henry Ford/Joseph Stalin!
    ***blub***
    I can't even single anyone out... all of you can have hugs x

    Right, on the business side of things the evil perfectionist within has come out to play, and I am going to rework a few of my samples. For my sins this need to perfect things is one of my worst traits. But, I really want to succeed so although the website will officially lanch later this week - I have some photography to redo - Again! Gah!
    The OH is being suspiciously well behaved so I will keep touching wood and hope that his new found decency will last! The weekend went okay despite my addiction to Gossip Girl and watching 4 hours back to back I have completed the following commitments:
    Job application
    Blog update
    Annual report completion
    DVD wraps


    Had a bit of a wobbly annoyance moment I met some friends who I used to work with. And all the bad feelings that I had about the last place that I worked came flooding back so after contemplating either making voodoo dolls or sending anonymous Pizza - a little bit of my sanity has been restored. I left the place over a year ago now, but sometimes I get so angry it feels like I am there all over again. grrrrrrrrrrr

    Yes, but then I tend to throw objects across the room and punch the wall etc. So, my OH just thinks it is adorable when I throw a wobbly (Because, I am too happy and well balanced). According to him I don't get angry enough... but I try not to get angry because I don't want to cry. Gah! The vicious circle.

    Not happy at all - lent a 'friend' £600 in december, ive not heard for them in a while and have now found out they have dissapeared off the face of the earth. I dont know where she lives and has no family or anything. Ive tried to ring her and email but never get an answer - last a heard was 2 weeks ago whens he said she was going ot her bank to transfer it - looks like ive made an awful mistake here, im so annoyed and upset :mad:

    ive known her for about a year i cant believe she would do this to me!

    i dont know why i bottle things up though???
    my sister (who could not keep a lid on her felings if she tried) lets everything out and gets far more help from family ect. i love the bones of her but its all
    'oh our *** is having such a bad time at the min, her oh wouldnt mind the kids' ect ect....
    and i think, aaaarrrgghh if you knew what was going on in my life you would be shocked!
    i think i have got a serious denial problem though, i make out that my OH is the perfect gent and does everything for me, but behind closed doors its a different story
    guess i just dont want to admit out loud how much of a pigs ear i have made of things...

    but as they say, i am one of lifes copers (a psychic told me that) and i will get through it and cope, no matter what life throws at me.

    That's it, you don't want people to think you've messed up! Isn't it daft? Think it's just an attempt to avoid hassle, and in the end it causes you more stress. I'm dreading OH coming in because I need to tell him stuff, and I know he's going to get all self-defensive, and I just don't want the hassle. Sick of it :(
