About an hours studying done :A so i have played a couple of FB games as a reward

I think i am going over to my friend's tomorrow, as she is having fireworks for her son. It would have been his 26th birthday, but he was killed in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan 4 years ago i can't believe how quickly time flies. i can remember fireworks at his 1st birthday party! Doesn't seem that long ago.

Ok. i am off to bed now, before i get to melancholy (sp?) Hugs & spoons to those that need them. Night night all

(((HUGS))) i have a friend who was killed in iraq almost 6 years ago (was killed on my 21st birthday while my then hubby was deployed there too. they were in the same reg) and i can relate.

its strange isnt it? i still expect to see him walking around or pics on FB of him dancing in nightclubs. coming up to remembrance day is hard enough but having his birthday around the same time must make it so much harder.

DS1's difficult behaviour has gone to far. He is disruptive, bullying and violent when he is in the house. I am scared of him and spent the last day and a half in tears. DH has realised that it is more than just AF causing my distress, he is away now until Friday and DS1 has been sent to the in-laws until DH returns. DS1 has a job interview this morning and I really hope he gets it as it will keep him out the house for 40 hours a week. He also has college tonight and PIL is going to collect him afterwards (bus doesn't run after 7pm).

I'm feeling really low and am trying to pull myself together. I feel really pathetic, I just can't stop crying.

Hey Mto5. Just echoing the posts of others here - though you may feel it, you don't come across as pathetic to us at all. Seems to me that you've been really brave - and feeling low, and crying are really reasonable responses to an awful, awful situation so please don't judge yourself for it. It's ok to be sad.

Just remember that you and the rest of your family have every right to expect your home to be a place of safety, sanctuary and support.

No-one can be expected to live in fear of someone else in their home, and I'm sorry, but it really doesn't matter who that person is. You've taken a huge step to taking control back, and it's just brilliant that your DH is beginning to understand the seriousness of what's been going on. Hugs to you all.

Hey guys :wave:

LW How about the lady that organises your Dog sitting for you? Or the local vicar? Is it compulsory that you have to give details?

Goodintentions How dreadfully sad

I'm already stressing needlessly, even if I don't buy anything else everyone's got something even if it's only a stocking filler, it aint that important in the scheme of things is it, I need a slap and a good talking to.

Good morning! I am claiming :staradmin:snow_laug:staradmin:snow_laug:staradmin:snow_laug :staradmin Thanks for doing this, Dusty :A

Personal Challenges:starmod:

Monday Trick or Treat - done :staradmin:

Tuesday Do it different Day - done :staradmin:
[STRIKE]Most of us are creatures of habit, do things in the same way all of the time. All this autopilot is not good for the grey matter or the soul. So today’s challenge is simple, try to do things a bit differently. If you always clean a room clockwise, then do it anti clockwise, always use the same mug get a different one out. Always hoover the hard floor, try sweeping it. I don’t mind what you do just shake it up a bit.[/STRIKE] I did my run yetserday back to front Might try that again!

Wednesday Water Squeezes - done :staradmin:

Thursday Shaker Day - done :staradmin:
[STRIKE]What do you think about whilst doing your flying? All the other things you need to do? Today I want you to act like a Shaker for just 15 minutes. Whilst doing some of your flying I want you to settle your mind solely to the task in hand. Take pride in what you do and satisfaction from seeing the limescale come of the taps and the shine appear.[/STRIKE]

Preparing for Winter Challenges:snow_grin:

Monday the clock have gone back summer is officially over - done :snow_laug
[STRIKE]I know it is sad that summer is gone but we don’t want to keep tripping over flip flops on the kitchen floor to remind us of that. Today gather up all summer footwear, hats and lightweight jackets. Get rid of any that won’t be needed next year. Put the rest away checking that they are clean and shoes are washed, polished and reheeled if necessary – you will thank me for this when we get our first warm day next spring. Replace with gloves, scarves, woolly hats, boots and winter coasts. Check they fit and everybody is kitted out for the cold days which will be here soon.[/STRIKE] I packed away my summer wardrobe and am at how many t-shirts I have

Tuesday see the light - done :snow_laug


Wednesday Potions and Pills - done :snow_laug
[STRIKE]Collect together all the suncream, aftersun, insect repellent from bags, window ledges, cars and either store good ones or bin dregs (or check you have enough and pack them for those going on holiday). Check your supplies of medicines, pain relief, decongestants, tissues etc. Check dates on items not used for a while like inhalers. Request repeat prescriptions now if necessary.[/STRIKE]

Thursday Car Prep
Get your car ready for winter so that if you should get caught in the snow or break down you are prepared. Here is a great guide for what you could do.
No car? Give your freezer a good sort; do you have space for emergency bread and milk supplies. Are you low on anything? Could the freezer do with defrosting?
