I'm still keeping up with my £1-a-day fund towards Christmas presents ,don't honestly miss it, and I am pleased at how its growing.Just got my provisional marks back from my last essay from my tutor and I'm really pleased as its the best one I have had so far.Uni will be moderating them on 15th June so fingers crossed.Only one more year to do then I shall be finished .will have to think of something else to do to keep the little grey matter ticking over .I haven't got time to grow old and useless life is far too interesting for me.:):) Right time for a spot of lunch then maybe a bit of knitting and catch-up t.v. for an hour

Afternoon everyone,
Thank you so much for your kindness. I am grateful and very moved by your kindness.
Firstly, Good luck to all exam candidates and their suffering families.
Bitsy loads of love to Daisy cat. I am sending all my love and best wishes.
esmf my thoughts and prayers to you on your loss.
NPM You are so kind when you have so much to cope with. Thank you so much. One of my Aunts used to work at NMGH. I used to go out in Monton as well. Did you go to the Drop? My mum died in St Ann's in Little Hulton(but I am not stalking you!-honest!)
MrsMortonHarket Thank you. I will try to clear my inbox(I have always been rubbish at that even before I started to fall apart) I am on FB.
I an due back to the GP's next week. She is lovely. I am due to go to see the consultant a week on Tuesday re my Knee op(remember that!) my GP his of the opnion that it would be better if I was not on medication till after the op and has refered me for talking therapy. It can't make me feel worse- and as I am exceedingly lonley the chance to talk to someone might help.
I cried so much yesterday that I really hurt my eyes. I did s*d all as usual.
I did try to write things down but I am not comfortable with posting such personal things on an open forum to be honest.
Some things are fairly well known though. I have a humengious ammount of pressure; I have no friends and am very lonely. I hate where we live(which makes me feel bad posting as I know that one of the posters on here lives in the same place and loves it. I honestly don't mean to upset anyone)
I am struggling to get out of the house(but I don't want to go out anyway-if you see what I mean) I can't remember anything without writing it down. I am so tired. I couldn't say when I last had a full nights sleep even for a million pounds not in the last year at the very least. I am the size of a house and I am embarrased about the state of me. My house is falling down and is a bl00dy mess and even though I know that I just don't seem to be able to do anything about it.
Added to all of that I feel bad for posting this when there are people on here with real problems. I just can't seem to shake this off.
I am so sorry for all of this carp
My Fergal cat is improving though:j
Thank you for being there.
Sorry again,
Ann. xxxxBlind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.
And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.

The one that begins with n?
My dad lived there till last year, i love one of the pubs near the river.

Lou - Do you know it ?
Anniestar - I can understand about posting on an open forum...You seem to have lost of things troubling you ATM. You need to get yourself well before you even start thinking about housework etc.
Blimey the rain has been horrendous today :eek:. Still not sure whats for tea. It's been a weird day...DD1 not back from school til 5.30gone. Must get my backside in gear...Looks alot like egg/beans on toast all round

Afternoon all
((((esmf)))) - condolences to you and your family xx
NPM - hope your arm is ok
Horrid weather here today for most of the day. Work kids cleaned the inside of our cabin today and did some educational work, then in a rare break in the rain we managed to squeeze in a game of rounders. I didn't play though cos my vertigo was playing up, but they all enjoyed.
Had some news today that may push my decision on whether I move in with my friend. My landlord wants to sell the flat so I've been given my notice to move out. So either way I'll be moving in Aug. I have til the middle of Aug to move out so plenty of time to look for somewhere. I am swaying towards living with my friend, just for a 6mths/year purely to save some money that will then pay for my 2 big holidays
. So not looking forward to packing up everything though :rotfl:
OS wise - not much at all really. Depending on how I feel later I may cook tea or just have freezer dinner.
Have a good evening all

Anniestar.....write down all the things that are bothering you then put the list away. Then concentrate on getting yourself better...you can work your way through the list at a later date, not now. Talking to someone will undoubtedly help. It can make you see things clearly and make more sense of the worries that you cant prioritise right now:o In the place you are now everything seems out of proportion...I know I have been there and it isnt a good place...I can remember when I used to come downstairs in the morning and dishes in the sink and little bits of tidying up seemed beyond me and more than I could deal with and I would sit on the stairs and cry! Seems ridiculous now but at the time every little thing seemed a huge deal. Just take things an hour at a time and dont ask too much of yourself....life wont always be like this.
It is a small world indeed...I worked at St anns at Little Hulton! And I used to go to The Drop Inn at Monton....I bet you have had a curry at Passage to India :rotfl:0 -
Hello all.
Esmf sorry to hear about your MIL; may her journey to the Summerlands be a happy one.
Hester sounds like the Powers That Be at your place need to get their heads out of their backsides!
Anniestar how're you doing today mate? I understand the struggling to get out of the house; I can't go out alone these days, even with the scooter, as I'm just too scared.:o Hang in there; things will improve. (((HUG)))
NPM (((HUGS))) I honestly don't know how you cope – you have my admiration, honest.
Bitsy healing vibes continuing for Daisy – thanks for the update. Purring is good!
Highlight of my day has been de-grossing the loo._pale_ I have no idea why it gets so bad; there's only the two of us here, and it's S&S'd regularly, but every so often we seem to get the kind of problem that requires the put-on-a-disposable-glove-and-poke-about-round-the-bend treatment.:(
Anyways, it's all clean now; hope it stays that way!If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
