    Afternoon all, still ill only now with a horrible sickly tummy, hate being poorly :(

    I have not been paid by looney for the garnier, I am sure the end date was 28th March, they have also not coughed up my opinions that are over 41 either grrr, ips I an still short on and 1pl I am at a massive £4.20 ha ha, SN survery have all been 25-35 mins for 55p this week, hate them when they take that long!!

    Got quite a bit ending on Ebay tonight so fingers crossed for quick payments, had a few sales on my blog yesterday was gobsmacked as it was not friends either :)

    Hello everyone. I hope you have all had a good weekend.
    Mine was fine until this morning when I was cutting back around the rockery which is next to the pond. To cut a long story short I nearly went in the pond but instead fell face first on to the path. I now have a sore bruised face and a badly bitten tongue along with a cut leg (no idea how that happened) and feel very shivery and tired. I am not a happy bunny. In addition one of the dogs nipped my neighbour who saw me fall and came to check i was ok.
    I have slept a lot of the day but still feel lousy.
    Its typical I was going to wrap e bay parcels ready for tomorrow and do some craft for a table sale I have next week end. Still theres always tomorrow.

    Hi everyone

    I have managed to do my wrist in today,not sure what I have done but its swollen and really hurting, I have it all bandaged up so have not been able to do all the things I planned today :(

    Disappointed with ebay, only sold 6 items, think i fell victim to the good weather, almost all items had watchers, one had 11 but didn't sell!! I think i will have them end during the week from now on as i am not doing well ending on sunday.

    Hope everyone is having a better day than me :D

    Hello everyone. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Fabulous weather wasn't it :) but this clock changing thing has thrown my body clock out completely.

    I'm off to the Doctors on Thursday evening as I think I have depression. I cry every single day about something and this is really beginning to put a strain on my relationship and work. I'm not sure how I can get out of it any more. I spend an hour last week crying down the phone to my sister and at the end of it promised I would go to the docs, so off I go. When I get upset I lose my appetite so don't eat anything - last weekend I ate nothing until Sunday dinner when I forced myself to eat. I feel like I can't talk to the OH about anything because I get upset, then he gets angry/frustrated that I'm upset so we have an argument. My short term memory is shocking and I am so so tired all the time even though I get about 8 hours sleep a night. I just don't know what to do anymore :(

    Kec, Susie and Gemini hope you're OK today. Keep smiling ladies x

  • Morning everyone, sounds like we are all in the wars at the moment.

    Susie – hope you have managed to shake off the tummy bug now
    Gemini - hope you have recovered from your fall
    KEC – hope your wrist isn’t quite as sore today
    Twinklekat – I think you are doing the right thing going to the doctors, is there no chance of getting there before Thursday? I am sure they will be able to offer you some help. I know what you mean about not being able to talk about it with your OH. Men find it difficult I think when there is something wrong with their OHs. They just want to be able to fix it. Just try and use other family or friends (including your virtual friends) as a support network in the meantime and try to think of the positives hun. Sending you big hugs :grouphug:

    Hope everyone’s money making is going well, been a bit slow over the weekend for me but managed a SN this morning.

    Take care all x
