I'm thinking that should be the title of the next thread :rotfl:

Forgot to say - the course is by a Glaswegian personal development guy that I first met - Oh - about 20 years ago. I would just love to go for a refresher.

Because if it was Mr Big??? Well lets just say I would be VERY annoyed at being asked to pay:D

I'm off to the hairdressers today
(I try doing my own hair colour, but I trash the bathroom and towels and I've just noticed a huge section I missed last time :rotfl:)

Isn't the weather lovely?

DD has promised to help me pack up DS1's room this afternoon.........

Good morning

Back at the hospital with Mum today, so won't be around,

Slept really well again last night, and cleaned through in half an hour :eek: getting much less on the cleaning time now everyone is pulling their weight , but I do have to hoover every day as Jack moults terrible lol, plus there was material bits every where.

Any of you sewers, do you know how I can stop the Bias binding from freying??

Fold over the fraying end and sew it down. (I presume you mean the two ends where you cut it off the roll)

Good morning Matrix.

I have another day to attack my portfolio. So, my challenge this morning (until 12 noon) is to finish writing the 5th section and gather the appropriate evidence, and perhaps make a start on the sixth and final section.

Well, cowbag still hasn't made an appearance today either. I have come to the conclusion she is off with stress. I wonder if the powers that be will actually work out how to deal with all her work? Who the heck knows. I am not going to get worried about it. I have to apply myself to my portfolio and my work and keep my head down. Especially after I got my head bitten off for trying to cancel a meeting for her yesterday. Sigh.

Anyway... happier topics... Last night I went to see my homeopath and we had another great chat about life, the universe and everything. We discussed some of the lightbulb moments I have had recently and how I could possibly make things get even better, and it was really interesting. Looking forward to the remedy coming through the post! Then I went off to see my godson and his family. Godson's Mum had made the worlds best lasagne, so I had a bit of that, and then Godson wanted me to get him ready for bed (he wanted to show off his big boy pants... they had dinosaurs on them! ) and say his prayers with him and tell him a story. It was absolutely wonderful. Then I went back downstairs and had a really, really good chat with Godson's Mum. In fact, 2 hours just whipped past before I knew it! And I feel much, much better about things in general and hubby in particular.

Hubby is still off work with the headcold from hell, but he does appear to be getting a bit better. I am going to make a nice dinner tonight and then we are going to sit down and talk stuff out. I am sure it will be cathartic for all concerned.

Right... if I am in here again hours before 12, give my bahookie a good kick okay? Positive vibes for everyone. Lots of love for everyone too. (and I have my hand up to be a member of the "Incredibly hormonal" club too!! )

I wonder if we have "synchronised"... because I have been the hormonal psycho b!tch from hell this week too... spooky!

All this talk of hormones from everyone - do you know the piece of research that shows women who are emotionally connected eventually end up syncronising their cycles? I wonder if anyone has done the research about whether that could happen in our "social situation"??? Only we all seem to be having the same issue this week:)

Sun is out so coffee in the garden and a rather full on list of bits to clear when I get back with the boys after lunch.

Time to put the kettle on.

Funny you should say that. I was thinking of the exact same thing last night. It seems that whenever I have worked with a group of women who I get on with we have all synchronised which could be awful at times when we were all grumpy at once. The good thing was that we did all "get" it. I was wondering if that could happen in this setting. I am certainly out of my usual sync.

When I was at Uni I participated in a study with my all my girly flatmates to formally assess whether menstrual cycles synchronise when you're living together and within about 4 months, we were all hormonal as heck the same week! I think we're doing the same on here as I'm sheepishly putting my hand up to being a bit of a wreck today!

Please can you send healing vibes my way in about 20 minutes as I have to hobble half way across the village to see the doctor about my hurty leg! My car's just been taken off for its vital MOT and service so I have no other way of getting there. Think it'll be a 2-stick job as I'm in pain already

FW - I hope you had a good sleep and are feeling better this morning.

What I have come to realise is that I avoided (or missed) loads of stuff in my life because of fear - it is about love, opportunities, life. Most of all it is about choice. In the offending post one of the things I did mention is that relationships are different. And we humans have this fault of extrapolating our own feelings, experience and interpretations.

Please, do feel safe again. And I have to go back to bed.
FW

Your comments here I agree with FW.
Fear of making another mistake -being hurt again.
I was married - neither of us was ready, mature enough.
No one else ever showed any interest in having any sort of relationship with me - I realised that it didn't matter - I am happy with my life and (when someone makes me think about it) I realise that right now I am probably happier in myself and my life than I have ever been and that is largely because I am the one who decides what I do.

What I was drawing attention to when I asked Souk a question was that all humans are social beings and we were not meant to live alone. Everytime I hear someone say things like 'or why do I need a man', 'I need a man for one thing only' etc. what I actually hear is fear and the fact that this person have not met their other half.

Firewalker

I think it was the way you put your thoughts in this post that produced such a strong reaction and re-reading it I still feel that it sounds more like a 'statement of incontrovertible fact' than 'musing and questioning'

Anyway - onwards and upwards.

crickett - :T Wow you are making progress with your portfolio
I hope the new remedy helps.
Morning souk - well done on another interview.
