New year, New me (finally)

Rant away It's your diary - and it's good to get it out :A

Your diary is an inspiration, you've had a horrible few years and come out the other side having achieved so much - you should be really proud :T

We all make mistakes (some bigger than others) and I hope that one day I can stop comparing myself to other people too!

Thanks guys,

You keep me going. I tend to panic more than I used to , so after initial hitting the ceiling, then I get down and get to work. Ebay sales went well, although I may have gone a bit crazy and put too many things on, I have ten packages to take to the post office tomorrow. I hope lots of carrier bags with brown tape and bubble wrap is acceptable packaging. I've started to run out of pretty tissue paper.

Morning All,

Interpret this dream for me if you will. For the last three nights I've had such lucid dreams I've actually woken up on more than one occasion. Last nights? A whale convinced me to come swimming underwater with him. When I said I couldn't breath, he let air out of his airhole so I could breath that in.

He took me all the way to the bottom of the sea, and then we ended up in a cave. I sat on the side and lots of creatures appeared. Three hummingbirds with woodpecker beaks flew round the back of my head. They starting woodpecking my head. I told the whale, and he seemed to think it was fine. I woke up holding my head (I was trying to stop the pecking it in the dream)

Second one was more logical. There is the closing date for a Team Leader's position today. I really want to apply for it, but as I've never 'been in charge' for more than a day, I just wouldn't know what to do, but I want to advance my career and get more money-for obvious reasons. In the dream our office was in the garden of someone who used to babysit me (yes there was even a sandpit in the background). We all had school exam type desks, and suddenly someone blurted out 'congratulations'. How could they know I had passed the interview? I hadn't even been told myself yet.

Anyway it was all true, and 5 minutes later I was told I had to move into the new job. I was shut in an office, and I just sat there thinking. OK, what do I do?

Weird! Anyway just thought I'd share that with you. want a good night's sleep tonight, so hopefully no more dreams that wake me up.

I'm going to dedicate todays entry, to my best friend Bev. Without her, I wouldn't be half the woman I am today.

I don't know where you are right now, but I hope that you're happy safe and warm.

My best friend today, forever, always.

Some great posts! Am pleased that you're happy and feel you're now on the right path. Am sure your mum is proud of you - she should be.

Take care

What a lovely post, she sounds a very special person :A

Thanks Guys. Bev was and is (i hope) a very special person, the last time I heard from her she had been made redundant and her husbands job was dodgy. We agreed to meet up for lunch but having not heard from her, I sent her a text, then another, then emails letters etc etc. I just hope she's ok. She has always been there for me, and I just want to be able to repay her.

How sad, it's awful to lose touch with a friend
