    yep NLID I wasn't trying to press for specifics I know that this is not the place for them. I hope that there are people in your life though that you can be completely you with and it does sound like you do have that with your other half.

    Saucy - try another doctor.... keep trying until you get and answer. A GP is just that a GENERAL Practitioner. Get them to refer you to specialists.... in fact FORCE them to. It is not right that they palm you off with more drugs without really investigating given all the health issues you have.


    NLID - at least you can be yourself with your family....

    I really relate to 'loosing' yourself after children. I am starting to find myself again now that DD is at nursery. Granted I am here working when she is, but at the moment it is helping me.

    I found a job today that I want to apply for but childcare is a huge issue so I guess I will have to wait until DD is at school full-time.

    Hugs Saucy, thank you for updating us, we were worried.


    Just got in from a bounce on the trampoline; really enjoyed it - neighbours must think I am batty though - who cares!!! :D

    MummyP - glad you felt you could come and 'talk' to us. Big Hugs! I actually think becoming a mom can make you feel like that - you loose your own identity and suddenly spend all your time not having a choice but to look after these small people who can't do anything with out you. It is only now that my youngest is at pre-school for 2 1/2 hours a day that I feel I can have chance to remember who I was but even that disappears doing jobs for everyone else and running around. I do love being a mom and wife, but I have definitely lost me somewhere in the process, but I do have plans to find me again....somehow I am hoping that taking a few minutes for me to bounce on the trampoline each day might help!!

    Hi Jo, NLID, Dilli, Mabel, Mambury, Paula and anyone else lurking :wave: and Cagne too!!

    Mabel - hope you got some nice seeds/plants!!!

    Hi everyone - hugs to all that need them -
    M&P -know exactly what you mean - often feel that way too,
    Saucy- hope you feel better soon, keep plugging away at the doctors, someone will find a way to help you in the end.
    Amber - hang in there with us!

    I seem to have missed something along the way - I see from signatures that there's a Dribblers' Weight loss challenge- can I please join? Really need the motivation to get going on this - have around 3 stone to lose - although I'm just trying to think about losing 1 stone first! I promise to post tips, recipes, ideas (I know a bit - I've been dieting for around 40 years - still fat though!) and I'll put my weight in my signature when I can pluck up the courage!

    I like these questions but I think I would struggle to answer them

    Saucy - I hope you get sorted and I agree you should give a different doctor a try

    Nikki - have found an entire recipe book on home made beauty stuff, would you like it?

    If Nikki doesn't, I could use it - as I have allergies to preservatives it's difficult to find products.

    And everyone - thank you so much for caring. I'll try to check in every day just to say hello.

Was only thinking about you this morning - have you got an FB page for your online tarot reading? If so I would love to join and share it round......... I'd also twitter you too but I am not on there very often!
