    thanks Cheery and EH.

    Cheery you've probably hit the nail on the head so to speak. I must stop comparing myself to others

    I'm glad you've said that or I'd have to come down and sort you out!

    We are all unique and wonderful in our own delightful ways - without the mundane how can we enjoy the bonkers bits

    :)

    I dunno what I'd do without you lot - a mainly productive day - aside sloping off ot the cliffs for a walk and to stalk one of the most beautiful but *tiny* flowers here

    I should have been working - but it was flower soup for the soul.

    Waves to all

    Very happy bunny and the new wellies got out of the office - I'd taken them in there to show them I wasn't mucking about with other wellies. Incase they were jealous.

    They didn't like the office much, can't blame them really, not much fun in there with folks staring at screens and tippytapping

    :) LT my life about the level of yours!

    *sob* I want purple wellies or purple shoes at least!! (As I can't wear wellies due to bad leg reasons :( ). At least I have my beautiful silver shoes winking at me from under the piano, I might have to put them on to cheer myself up. I'm feeling fed up with my hurty leg (feel like all I do is moan about it and I'm not a patient patient), post-period hormones playing up, feeling like OH can't be ar*ed to come over having let me down 3 nights on the trot due to being ill (I know, not his fault but it does hurt sometimes when at the last minute, he tells me that he's in bed feeling ill and can he come tomorrow instead)......

    I think I need to have a quick cry, go outside and admire my many aquilegia (one of the rare flowers I can recognise lol), pull myself together and try not to eat all the vegan gluten-free chocolate cupcakes I just baked for a picnic...

    ((((kk))) - you have a good blether, it always makes you feel good later. Especially if you look in the mirror and see the puffy face, snotty nose and bright red cheeks and think of yourself as an Oompah Lumpah :)

    I have a very dull life - hence me always stalking you lot on here to see what excitement is happening.

    Pippi, and anyone else who reads your diary - I just came across this website and forum and thought of you immediately. I reckon a few of you might like this if you have already found it - apologies

    Lovely chat on here yesterday - KK, I'm sorry you're so down, it must be horrible to be hurty for so long now ... hope it mends soon.

    Pippi, flower soup for the soul, I love that. Hope your wellies weren't annoyed with you when they had to go home again.

    Sent him a long text explaining how I'm feeling, and I've decided that I am not going to take everything about how I'm feeling as being my fault. I've learned that I'm not responsible for all the ills in the world (it's taken a while, lol), and whilst I am probably over-dramatising, he also needs to realise that he's responsible too for the way he acts towards me and how I cope with it.

    I'm sure later on I'll be all loved-up again and he'll have said and done all the right things....like he always does! :);)

    KK i hope you are feeling better soon. A good cry does sometimes help. I hope OH does say and do all the right things to make you feel better too. My DH just rolls his eyes when i cry and pats my shoulder in a very patronising "there there" kind of way. men!!

    hugs to everyone, sounds like many of us need them in various different ways.
    I really should get dressed, though i have been doing jobs, got the second load of washing on. Have been grown up and checked the weather forecast last night and this morning. i had planned around expected rain at 1pm today but now it looks like we won't get any so i've another load in the machine (which has literally just made a strange noise). Can you tell i really really want rain?
