    Molly:wave: how's wee Poppy doing? I'm suffering badly with anxiety, too, keep worrying over silly things, and if I'm not worrying over something specific, I worry that I've overlooked something I should be worrying about.:(

    Hi Lamewolf
    Poppy is ok but still very angsty which keeps setting off fights with Molly. It is very stressful as they both get on really well normally. Anyway she has her stitches out next Tuesday so we are on the homeward stretch now:o

    JulieG - I didnt want you to feel guilty for sounding off. If you knew just how hard your body has to work in those 9 months (it took me three years study to fully appreciate it)then you would be and should be full of admiration at yourself for the wonderful job you are doing xx

    Julie67 - I think you need to take it steady x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    DH took DD down to her BF's last night and saw 5 youths attacking a boy of about 17 they had him on the ground nd were kicking the s*it out of him.
    DH stopped the car while DD phoned the police. DH yelled at them and the boy managed to run off, they gave him a load of "yeah come on" until they saw that he was built like a brick outhouse and they ran off. But what upset him the most was that about 6 cars had driven past and no one stopped to help this boy :mad:
    Oh well best get on, will catch up later.

    Have good days all x


    God thats dreadful :mad: thank goodness for your DH :A

    Good evening all!
    I'm so annoyed with myself! I bought a 2 night stay in the Lake District from KGB for £99 for the OH's birthday and I just realised that I could have gotten 15% cashback through quidco. Grrr! :(

    Evening everyone,

    Went to Mr T's on the way home from work this morning as I didn't think I'd feel up to it when I woke up - I was right, woke up at 5pm and was really glad for the pie and veg I bought this morning. Not very OS but will make up for it on my 4 rota days off - honest injun!

    I did just about find the energy to put my dried fruit for the Christmas cake to soak in brandy though - priorities eh? ;)

    Does everyone take notes as they read the thread? - just asking as I usually find that I can't remember who's said what by the time I get to the end and not being overly tecchie I dont know how to 'notebook' reminders to myself, so although I often would like to congratulate or sympathise etc., unless it was the last thing I've read it's gone from my rapidly ageing mind!!

    Better go, this is turning into War and Peace,

    Hugs to all, especially those finding things difficult at the mo.

    Jan x

    How very dare you! :p

    Cariad I have been known to take notes but I also use other posters comments to help refresh my memory as I scroll up and down the thread :o:o

    Just popped in to say hello and give congrats to Nic and hugs to everybody who needs them, you know what they say - theres always somebody worse off than yourself - trouble is its very hard to see it when everything seems to be collasping and spirrelling away from you, or is that just me

    Just been watching Kirstie Allsops programe on 4OD, theres plenty of good ideas to try but do you think shes going to win at all those Country Shows shes completing in?

    Anyway off to bed as working some very early shifts, so if Im not making sense please excuse me,
