I asked but I don't think I will be doing anything anytime soon. I am reaching the bottom of my barrell - I am so very worried about money. We will only have my wage coming in and it will leave us with about £50 a week to pay for food, diesel, and gas & electric. I am so sick, hubby tries to reassure me but I can't sleep. I spent my lunch today crying - I was on my own. So sorry for my depression. You lot help so much, you are so kind, never forget that.

Kind wishes

So sorry to hear that We were there a year ago ourselves and things turned around, and I'm sure they will for you as well. All you can do is try and stay positive (not easy, I know) Don't ever be stuck kitless - I have loads of smaller kits sitting doing nowt that I will never stitch and I'm happy to share. We all have low times and need friends around us. We may just be people on a forum, but I met one of my best friends on a forum 6 years ago, people form fantastic communities and this is one of them.

Sending you big (((HUGS))) and hoping things get better soon, always here if you need to chat xxx

Just popping in before settling down to stitch. Only back from my local A&E department. I sit with my leg under me and stood up to go to the loo and put my weight on the "dead" foot and went right down, tumbling over the arm of the settee.

Hubby was trying to get baby's room sorted and heard me scream, he rushed in thinking I was in labour...so I was lying on the floor screaming, and trying to get through to him my tummy was fine but my ankle was killing me. Neither of us had credit on our phones so he had to leave me and go to the phone box to phone my mum to get them to take me to hospital.

They said it's not broken but I have torn the main ligament which runs round the ankle bone, and have to kept it up and on ice...it should take about two weeks to heal properly. They don't strap it up because it can cause blood clots when pregnant.

I can't put any weight on it at all so am using a wheeled computer chair to get from room to room...one of the few times I have been glad to live in a downstairs flat...lol

i know exactly how you feel we are in the same position and i know how stressful and depressing it can be, we try to be really strict on what we spend money on if we only have a tenner gas to last the week we ration it ect, we have been in this position for a while now and honestly you will be ok, try not to worry about it non stop (which i know is easier said then done) but you will drive yourself mad and make yourself ill

sending you hugs and hoping things get better for you really soon

I had to google the final pic lol - that is going to look amazing - we will try and keep you at it! :j:j


...unlike a certain someone with her neglected 'Astronomer' HAED....:p

I wonder who that could be??!!!! :rotfl:

I WILL get back to it sometime...honest!!! Let me finish The Elegant Lady...not done anything on her for a week or more either , then I promise to get the Astronomer out again! My problem is that I have soo many things that I want to make/do, be it X-stitch, knitting, sewing, crafting, gardening...and so much more. I really need to draw up some sort of crafting timetable, and I may get everything done...eventually!!

I am cutting DS's hair tonight, a major feat...then afterwards I think I will actually do some X-stitch :eek:...after I have sewn up the first sock I'm knitting for DH...only 24 stitches at the toe to graft...won't take any time at all to do!

Thanks Louise for shaming me into stitching again...looks like you will have a difficult (and long-term!) job there...are you up for it? 'Cos I think I need a bit of cajoling every once in a while (read every week:D)!! :rotfl:

See - always a silver lining (sorry!) Sounds painful, hope it mends soon!

It felt a bit wrong to 'thank' your post, onsidering the content - but consider it a 'sympathy thanks'
