Hi all

Greenbee good luck with today's hospital appointment and hope the OH is being more understanding and supportive now.

I'm not making it easy for him and I have come to the conclusion that he is probably depressed.

In the meantime, I have had my MRI, nearly passed out when they put the needle in (never done that before:eek:), was pumped full of dye and then had to be taken out in a wheelchair. However, it does sound as if the radiologist has located the problem as they ended up doing different scans to what was originally planned. Should have bought a week's ticket for the carpark though!

Home to get some work done... I have to get these presentations out for review tonight.

Radiologists are often ace. I've had 2 problems over the years which they have pinpointed.

As for OH, my DH doesn't handle that sort of thing very well. Considering he is very intelligent in other ways he is prone to burying his head in the sand and hoping it will all go away.

Try and take it as easy as you can - though I know it's not easy.

Hi all,

Out I crawl again to post a teeny weeny comment.

Just to let you know that whilst I am sitting wasting away in this boring job (that I have decided will be my job for one year more only) I catch up throughout the day by taking my phone to the ladies with me!

I am now sitting here and really jealous (such an awful word but can't think of any other way to describe how I feel) that everyone seems to be pottering, progressing and achieving stuff at a rate of knotts (correct spelling??). I only wish I had time to post more regularly. I don't even have time to keep up my diary at the moment.

In my ideal world I would work part time at a job I am really interested in and passionate about and I would keep our home lovely and homely and learn to cook properly (so I could surprise the Baldy) and spend time with my dad (who's in his late 70s and not the big strong man he used to be) and basically try to do all of the things you all do to keep yourselves happy and positive.

I am getting there, I am really positive compared to this time last year. This is after a year of therapy (which just finished yesterday!).

So ladies, keep it up. You really are inspiring me to return every day and to keep my dream alive.

Oh yeah and I am absolutely totally itching to get mind maps cracked. Still not able to confidently achieve one that I think works!!

If only I was able to live on a couple of hours sleep a night instead of the 8 that I have to have (but I do love my sleep though!)

Firstly DE I am not so much at achieving as plodding and it's certainly not at a rate of knotts

As for needing 8 hours sleep.....really I need about 10 hours (not that I get it) so relish in the fact that you are "surviving" on less than what I [STRIKE]desperately crave[/STRIKE] need :rotfl: But really well done on the positive progress

Greenbee & Tricia - My H is rubbish when I fall apart. I would love a big cuddle and a cry and a "it'll be all right" and I get post match analysis instead and Mr Practical

scaredy cat - :rotfl: 3 hours kip is a good avoidance tactic in my book :T

Dirtyepic, I feel the same as you xx

In other news I have been procrastinating massively and haven't started my essay which is due in Thursday. done a tiny bit of reading but have just been avoiding it hugely. I am fairly sure it will be !!!! now(all my own fault) and am debating what to do................

Can you get an extension, at least perhaps to see you over the weekend?
Do you know your material that you need to write it on or have you got to study that too? How many hours between now and Thurs have you got to do it? Will a poor grade on this affect it much?

Sorry for 20 questions but trying to point you in the vague direction of making a plan for getting it done.

thanks Bitsy xx

I have read some of the material, I have a plan and I have the whole day tomorrow. I shouldn't be going out tonight but I don't think I will get much done and this has been a longstanding arrangement.

I will clear my desk before I go out tonight and print out the plan etc.

Well, my house looks like a tornado has been through it, my hair hasnt been cut for too long, my legs need shaving, my parrot needs more attention and I wish I could manage 8 hours sleep but like Bitsy I really could do with 10. Remember DE for every one thing we are all achieving on here and shouting about there are probably dozens more that need doing. The trick is to work out what is important to you, focus on that for a while and when you start achieving in that then you can think about some of the other stuff. Remember womens lib was not about running ourselves into the ground it was about being equal so when "baldy" as you call him comes home then are you sure that he expects you to have done all the cleaning as well as working the same hours as him? If he doesnt why do you expect that of yourself?

Do you work well under pressure Buffy? If so then head down and get burning that candle. If not I agree with Bitsy, ask for an extension.

Evening from a very tired Daffs

Dirtyepic, just wanted to say, as I've said elsewhere to someone else, you're comparing your ONE life to the highlights of ALL 20? 30? 40 of us on here! We're not all running about being exciting and fabulous (much as we'd like to) all the time, really! One day one of us might have a nice hair cut, or get a job interview, or have a breakthrough about something - but for every one of us that does that each day, there's plenty more plodding along, hoping we're heading in the right direction

So chins up lass! Post when you can, even if you don't think you're doing anything exciting :T

(says me, who's just got in after being out for 12.5 hours, has approximately 5 minutes to sit down before going out for another hour and a half, and still has to shove some washing on in the hope that it will dry before tomorrow so I can leave at 7.30am and not come back til gone 9.30pm <yawn>)

Oh, and Slimming World has entirely gone out of the window today (only today though) - someone was leaving at work, so had cakes galore, and they stayed in the kitchen all afternoon, and I was so tired I kept needing another cup of tea - and, oh look! There's still a bit of cake left, wouldn't want to waste that...

Just came home and stuffed in a bowl of weetabix, and am seriously tempted to stuff in another, as I've now only got 2 minutes, still haven't put the washing on, and am blatantly not going to get any tea tonight.

That's the kind of day I have when I only get 6 hours sleep! :eek:

I do work well under pressure. Well I did last time I wrote an essay!
