    I'm not sure, I was working down in Sevenoaks yesterday but live in Crouch End at the moment. You definitely wouldn't get me on the ferry though.

    As for my fear stuff...I have cyclothymia,its a member of the bipolar family and I take medication for it-but with it comes anxety and panic atacks. It doesnt manifest often in public as DH is ood at spotting it and reassuring me before it hets up-and DS1 is familiar with the early signs and often asks if I need to borrow some of his brave (he's 5).When I dont have them with me I just dont do thiings that I think will get me.
    .


    Woohoo for you Polkadot!! :T:T:T

    I have got various issues and can REALLY appreciate how triumphant you must have felt :j:j

    And how ADORABLE is that of DS1???? Please give him an extra hug from your Second Purse friends, what a lovely little boy! :D

    Hi,

    Could I be added to the list at some point to be referred for DR. Really want to order some of the mince and can't remember what was said about getting referred.

    Thanks

    Eveie

    Hi Eveie, if you could PM your name, address and email to Savvybunny, she is next in line to refer a person

    Let me know if there are any problems, we are getting a little pace on with this :D

  • Well done polkadot, and an extra well done for not giving up when you took the wrong turning. I understand how hard it must have been for you.

    Mothership your not wrong we all do seem to have so much in common, maybe thats why we spend so much time on here lol, cos theres more people on here that understand and take us for the way we are.

    I havent been out of the house on my own for about 2 years now, Im fine if im with one of my family or close friends, but other than that i just cant go out, My OH is going to be working away a lot soon and my youngest DD is off to uni in september so It will be just me at home, Im really hoping I can be as brave as polkadot and be able to overcome my fears (although i dont even really know what they are)
