    I'm glad you went for your walk, I was thinking of you today NH.

    I guess Autumn does signify the end of many things, but as soon as we enter this season I always feel a sense of excitement for the future, perhaps it's because the New Year is almost upon us, when I would promise myself year after year not to take on any more debt this year.

    You should keep your 'find', why part with anything of emotional and sentimental value that they know nothing of.

    Maybe it was a gift from the universe that you found it today x

    Woowoo you are completely right. (Hello old friend. Gosh it has been a while). Keep it NH. In a year's time you will look back at this dark time and you will be in a different place psychologically. You haven't met Miche yet. She is on Susan's thread tonight and has gone now but she will be back. She is like Phil and Angel she will help you and she has been there pet. There are so many nice bankruptcy people on MSE that can help and will. Things are awful right now. But everyone who has been there is happy now. keep going for the next few days. Keep posting. I am sorry i keep bugging you but i can't stop. i cannot let someone feel so down and not say something. It will get better. I dont know what else to say. Thank you for replying to my PM. love kit.

    Hi NH....hope you are feeling a little better after your walk today....bet it was stunning up there today.

    Remember that even though you are moving away you can always come back either as a day trip or make it your goal to return to live back there in the near future...but unlike now you would be returning without the chains that had dragged you down in the past.

    The next few days will be busy so try & set yourself packing time, lunch time & relax time( ie walking time) . Plan the coming days & then you can factor in that walk as well as eating properly too.

    Above all try to keep smiling & be strong ( I know thats easier said than done) but when you feel down try & visualise the view from that ridge looking down into the valleys....even go on Google Earth if you have too...but don`t be sad...instead be happy that you had the opportunity to have the experience.

    Right....in serious danger of getting into `waffle city ` so shall not bore you with more Angel ramblings LOL

    Thanks Angie x

    Good luck with Mam Tor. I'd aim for sunday if i were you. Its going to be s****y tomorrow but fine on sunday. It does'nt matter how much you do, as long as you feel the benefits, ( says me who was determined to do the whole ridge). Anyway, once i was committed, there was no going back,for me.

    A huge thanks to all of you for tonight. But i know i've got to make the effort myself, if i'm going to get through this next week. And you all don't know the half of it. Oh God help me. This really is whats called moving on. There are going to be some very dark times this week. I've got to keep my mind off it. Its only when i start talking and thinking about it now, i still can't really belive its going to happen.I've not been able to escape from it all, whilst i'm still here, i suppose. Heres to my last week.

    Thankyou both xx Its amazing how one simple word, can mean so much x

    Sometimes, in todays soceity, we all lose sight of what is really important, me included, sometimes, although i think i probably analyse it more than most. All those people who say, no, i have'nt got 5 minutes to talk to you. I'm too busy. I've got to do my shop at tesco. I've got to do this I've got to do that. What does it really matter, if you take 5 minutes out of your day, to be spontaneous. I'm always thinking that, to myself. I'm one of these people, in ' real life ' , not ' virtual life ', that pepole i've never met before, always approach me, and i approach them. Speak to them, about whatever, for no particular reason, just because. I'm sometimes told off for doing it, when i should be doing other things. But i don't care. If you've made someone feel better for a few minutes, thats all that really matters. But no one except me, knows how i'm really feeling, in my ' virtual ' world, and now more probably, than i could ever, contemplate. Is'nt this a huge risk. It frightens me.Of course, it does. But what does it matter, if you've got all the time in the world? Life. You are having one of lifes experiences.

    I think i'll go and have a nice long soak in the bath, before i go and crack on, with that all consuming issue.

    I am so guilty of neglecting relationships because I'm too busy with stuff, I do try to make sure I spend my weekends catching up with friends and family.

    Even though I don't really feel I can do anything to help your situation, its nice to know people out there are thinking about you x

    spot on matey. all too often in life, people are 'too busy' to make time for someone else . 'too busy' doing what i ask myself...... suppose we're all different and we each have certain priorities in life but mine are pretty simple, as you probably know xxx
