    Will be up at Parents but I will be out and about if there are some offers on the table :).

    Always interested in the odd pint or 2.

    Are you and Dinah spending your christmas together in the new house? Hows the DIY? Getting through the Boss's snagging list yet?

    Think Christmas day is with the In-laws and my old man is looking at coming this way for the post christmas few days off.

    DIY is getting there, were a lot closer to being done than it seems, D just isnt great at seeing what has been done as regards plastering etc as it hasnt been painted yet thus is not pretty.

    But if your in the area the door will be opened as I head for the pub :)

    Sounds like you have Christmas wrapped up. Just wait till D is putting the finishing touches to all the work your doing.

    I am planning on driving up Christmas Eve and heading back either 2 or 3rd. I am sure we can squeeze in a pint or so.

    Your only in Yarm, correct? That not a long drive from Hartlepool (I know the back rounds through Stockton so not a huge issue)

    My Mum managed to get the helicopter i wnated for OH today in shops yay which is good news considering I managed to lose my purse the other day!

    That's cool that your Mum managed to grab one. Bad news about your purse though! Did you find it again?
    Anyway you don't want to hear how sad I am all the time do you!
    Tete, I don't have a wedding, baby or a house so talk to me! :D Honestly though, talk about anything you like, even if it is a moan or rant! Tell us what you've been up to and stuff :) How's the latest craft project coming along?

    OH keeps on turning to me and saying 'We live together' most days like it's just hit him.
    That's so cute! :D

    Hope your house gets sorted quickly Dinah; I had to live like that for a bit and it really is horrible. I think the gym is a necessity too tbh, as rubbish as it is!

    I am so stressed at the moment, it's horrible. A couple of months ago my Mum told me she basically didn't think life was worth living and didn't want to be here anymore, and just when I think she is getting somewhere with the psychiatrist, my sister tries to kill herself by taking a load of pills with alcohol, but luckily her boyfriend stopped her. But he didn't bother to tell us; she told us a few days later. But her boyfriend is a whole other story. :mad: Uni is full on and I'm worried about everyone and everything and for the past few days my heart has been beating really fast and feels fluttery and I feel really sick, dizzy and breathless. Phew! But anyway, sorry for the rant! :o

    Hope everyone else is ok and enjoyed X Factor tonight - Matt to win!

    Aww Zig, that's so full on, hope you're feeling okay. It must be stressful dealing with your Mum and your sister not feeling good at the same time. Are you able to tell someone at uni what's going on? I used the counselling service at my uni and it was great - fast, free, and I got hypnotherapy for stress which helped the problems with my digestion a lot and made me feel well. I can really recommend. Sometimes it's helpful to have someone to transfer these emotions on to so you can have some peace.

    Hugs to you Tete, I know how you feel. But we love to hear from you, even moaning :D and miss you when you're not around. Also (speaking for myself) even when there's boyfriends and weddings on the cards there are still big lows and difficulties to deal with. We can all empathise still and you have a place here :)

    Sounds good

    I'd have said come down via billog, down the 19, up the 66 and come off for eaglescliffe which is where I actually am. No need to do the backroads in stockton, their like glass atm.

    Sorry to hear how you are feeling Zig. I would go to the doctor as if it is stress or something they may be able to help. Sounds like you have been dealing with a lot x

    Nope purse didn't turn up , think it fell out my bag on train as remember having it on there. The lost property people don't have it though. Is such a pain getting all the cards re-ordered. Will have to pay 20 quid for new driving license too grr.

    Tete! So sorry you feel like that but please still post, I always love hearing from you no matter what it is. Finally caught up on your blog but my internet is still slow so couldn't comment. Hope you're okay x

    Crikes, proper man talk from NIM and Poolie now! Glad the DIY stuff is coming along well though NIM.

    Oh god Zig! That's terrible to hear. Hope you're taking good care of yourself too though. If you ever want to talk just mail/tweet/whatever me.

    I am sure the roads will be fine when I am up. Eaglescliffe, I know the place well. You close to Preston Park then?
