I forgot to say y'day....remember DBIL passed away....well one of his friends went to a spritualist church and he came through at the end of the service, and said "Tell my family I tried really hard to come round in hospital, It took me a long time to accept that I had died, but I'm really happy where i am now" He was described to a T. So me and MIL are going to one tomorrow - a bit nervous about it, but looking forward to it aswell.
Hmm I've always been fascinated with stuff like this, went to see Derek Accorah many years ago but wasn't called upon as it where. I'd like to think that it's your DBIL, nice to hear he's in a good place. Enjoy yourself tomorrow and looking forward to seeing what you think.
ulypool - glad to see your DD is thriving thereHope she puts back on the weight she's lost xx
Can't get bloomin' jeans for DS, skinny jeans (!!!!!! for a 5 year old boy?!), slouch fit but no bog standard regular jeans. So H has run the guantlet that is Primarni in town to get some.
Had a bit of rain so at least the garden has been watered (saves me a job) so going to pootle about before heading off for the school run.

It was in my potato sack and looked a bit sprouty, so I thought I would use it for this trial rather than eat it. I should have made a note of planting date - doh! Anyway it has small green leaves showing, so I shall top it up a little and keep watching. It is a main crop Maris Piper. I am interested to see what one small wrinkly offering can produce.we've not been paid by one of OH's customers.

Bitsy , so do I , she is still tiny so no improvement there yet, however she is eating again properly now and isn't stressed everyday so it will only be a matter of time.:) She loves her new life and has said that she wishes she had told us sooner before she started making herself ill.It is so sad that this type of this is allowed to happen in schools still. According to her brothers the group of girls are still at it and also are making a new girls life a living hell:eek::mad:.Thought the school would have learnt by there mistakes from last time. :mad:Paul Walker , in my dreams;)0 -

afternoon.
been to GP and she was very understanding. Gave me 3 week note initially then review. She says I can have as long as I need off. It is a relief! Sending notice next week then hopefully no more contact with my bosses:o
Not feeling in a good place at the mo and frequent panic attacks....dont know why:(
Bitsy.....have you tried Debenhams? They have great boys jeans and usually have adjustable waists......I find they last longer and are not too expensive....Primarni and H and M are cheaper but DS has holes in the knees in weeks:eek:0 -

Had Primarni jeans before and lasted well, thankfully DS doesn't spend too much time on his knees
Do you think you're struggling ATM because of feeling unsettled about work etc? Not knowing how they will react to you going off sick, handing in your notice......anticipation is nearly always worse than the actual event. perhaps you'll feel better when you've finalised a date you're leaving etc. Have a hug and if you want to chat you know where I am xxI have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knifeLouise Brooks

npm - just sending you some hugs. i think with your situation at the moment, what you feel is perfectly normal. (sorry normal doesnt seem the right word but i cant think of another one
) you are worried about work and feeling ill on top of that. not sure how noah is sleeping but lack of sleep can help contribute to it too. plus the usual battles with noah. when you look at it, you have every reason to have panic attacks and feel the way you do. don't be too hard on yourself

/QUOTE]
NPM - panic attacks are horrible especially when you're trying to do the swan thing - you know calm and serene on the surface but feet going like the clappers underneath - did you speak to your doc about them?
I reckon Bitsy might be on to something here though - it could be all the anticipation of not knowing how work is going to react etc etc. Maybe you'll settle a bit once you've got your leaving date set.
Hugs honey xxSometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand,
What you've been out there searching for forever is in your hands0
