    It is good to have something to look forward too, even more so when you look at what you have been through.

    So glad you have your official discharge :D

    That sounds like expensive fish and chips to me, but anything sounds expensive, because i can't afford it.

    But you read my mind. I'm originally from a fishing town, and fish and chips has always remained my favourite meal. Used to have fresh lobster, too. I'll travel anywhere for a plate of fish and chips. Only Haddock, mind. None of this cod rubbish! Mmmm mushy peas............. When are you free? I can smell the haddock, frying. Theres nothing like freshly caught fish.

    Just read that post and thought, no, theres nothing better than fish and chips eaten out of a newspaper. Shame about all the health and safety codswallop, ( scuse the pun ). Never did us any harm. I want my fish and chips out of a newspaper, ( stamps foot ).

    Probably during the week? because its quieter, and easier to get a cheap ticket? The joys of being self employed means i can take a day off work, so long as its preplanned, (without pay), naturally. And you?

    Shame about the walking though. I walk almost everywhere i go, lol

    Congratulations Nohope on your discharge. It was obviously hell for you but you got through it and lived to tell the tale. Now you have a new life, new friends, new beginnings - anything is possible. Please try and put your mistakes behind you and not beat yourself up about what is done and dusted. You are every bit as worthwhile as the next human being, and life can be good for you as much as for anyone. Keep writing, I am sure your diary is what helped you get through this.
    One life - your life - live it!

    Although i resent my diary, i'm sure you're right , and my diary DID help me get through this, regardless of if anyone posted or read it.

    I'll always beat myself up, about being a failure. Thats who i am. Maybe too much of a perfectionist, without reason.

    I realised today, for the first time, i'd made a post on the bankruptcy board,this morning, and currently i think around 300 people have viewed it. 3 people have replied. I'm not sure what to make of those statistics, but its the first time its ever occured to me, that i've ever noticed, because its so long since i posted on that thread.

    Thats a shocking amount of people, who know more about me, than i, of them.


    Thans for the congrats, Nargleblast, ( i've always wondered what your username means )? Feel free to drop by, anytime. I know most people find it difficult to cope with people who have felt the way , i have been feeling.

    Nohope xx
