    Just popped on quickly before going to bed. I've had a horrible day today - forgot to take my anti depressant a few days ago and it's caught up with me BIG STYLE :(. Feel aggressive, weepy, frustrated, impatient all together and it's horrible. The worst thing is I forgot to take them this morning too so took them when I remembered at 4.00 this pm. I keep forgetting because GP told me to take them with food, whereas I was doing them first thing - so I forget.

    DH was out last night (til 10 or so), still not in tonight, is away tomorrow night with work and is out on Thursday so feeling p***** off :mad. I'm working my butt off to get some extra money for us and have spent over 4.5 hours typing today. Am shattered.

    Anyhow, at least my kitchen looks beautiful and we all enjoyed the homemade pasta sauce I did for tea. No eggs today :( but I stroked the hens when they were all tucked up in their nesting box this evening - all piled in on top of poor Peckish who, I'm sure, was toasty warm!!!

    Sorry for whinge; hopefully be back to normal soon. Sorry I'm not around much but I've just been manic.

    Oh, by the way, got an interview for that job at Manor Hall I mentioned a few weeks ago. Not holding out too much hope, but I'll give it a go.

    Hugs to all x

    ETA DH just got in and told me he's going away camping with the **&&*&* Explorers over Easter. Terrific.

    Rose, sorry you're feeling so blue my love, the BD is well and truly on us at the moment. Let's shoo him away together ((((Rose)))) xx

    Once again I am completely wiped out!! I simply cannot function!!!

    I wouldn't mind but todays efforts amounts to next to nothing..

    1 binbag rubbish
    recycling out
    walked 1 school run. This mornings drop off in the car!
    emptied bins brought back in
    DW loaded and emptied twice
    Dinner cooked.. I was so mean I slopped some in a dish for Jacob as DS1 was here.. he said he wouldn't eat it... but he did!! HA!!(savoury mince and mash)
    Had hot chocolate at cafe with my mother
    Made 1 cuppa
    Fed the fish

    see.. nothing done at all... so why does it feel like 3am???

  • Sorry I went AWOL, cried myself into complete exhaustion, then phoned DH who said I was not to worry and he would do dinner. I said that I'd wanted to do it so he didn't have to, and he said we have to eat every day so there are plenty of opportunities for me to cook when I feel up to it. He was so sweet and loving, it was really nice.
    Anyway, by that point I was really worn out and my brain was closing down (it seems to do that when I'm stressed/upset/feeling really bad) so I went to sleep. bed.gif I'm still not right, feeling low and soggy but am doing better. My brain isn't working very well though!

    I don't think it was the cooking that was the real problem, I think if I was feeling good I would have been able to do it. It's just that I'm struggling with the BD at the mo, and the cooking was the last straw.

    Thank you all for your kindness and lovely comments and helpful comments. grouphug3.gif

    Sorry for being completely OT, I've done no flying apart from having a bath and rinsing out the bath, does that count? shrug.gif

    I feel a bit like this:brickwall.gif but lots of you have worse things to deal with and I will feel better soon so don't worry about me xx

    first of all an apology to Soappie for not having done the stars today.

    No apology necessary you daft thing :p

    I left you in the lurch last week by my total recalcitrance and being here, there and everywhere so it's only fair I take the mantle this week. You just get better please.

    Actually, it's not a please, it's an order! :p:pL

    Lamb chop dinner done and delish it was too.

    I'm now off to bed. Night night people.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Hi Mumof2 (Ha! just worked out that it means 'mother of two'). I am sorry for your troubles. I hope you get back on track soon.

    I have to take some pils every day, and set an alarm on my phone... though I would share with you this.

    All will be good (one day)

    EAT: no flying has been done in 2 days, but the flat still looks ok after the Sunday blitz :).
    EAT2: looks like loads of ladies are not feeling too well this week (just had a quick browse of the tread). Take it easy, have a glass of wine, etc, put your feet up. Positive wibes to all.
  • I havent been too well this afternoon - dont panic - just a tummy bug but feel grotty so have only done a quick skim of the thread.

    hugs to all the poorlies and hope you get well soon

    hugs for anyone I have missed and needs one

    I am off to bed
    see you tomorrow
    toots xx
    And big hugs for you too toots
    Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better in the morning

    Highlight of my day was going over to my Mums and using her shower, then to top off this heady excitement I watched Bargain Hunt with her while drying my hair under her strange inflatable bag hair dryer ( I think it's probably a collector's item in itself!) :D
    I remember those dryers - def. a collector's item :rotfl:

    toots, I hope your tummy is better very soon. Look after yourself!

    rose, don't apologise, this is what we are here for. I hope you have a good night's sleep tonight and don't try too much in the morning. Have another bath! I sometimes have two a day when feeling shirt. :)

    Mumof2 I hope you are feeling better soon. I set alarms on my phone too for meds. It has been a huge help for me.

    I do still forget if it is on silent!

    Rose, sorry your day was such poo, maybe you could take a little walk tomorrow, just to the end of the road (if it's dry) A bit of fresh air may do you the world of good?
