'supporting each other through really tough times'

Popperwell

Thanks Kidcat,
Hope you soon feel better. Migraines...I'm fortunate headaches for me are rare but the one I used to suffer was in my eye and it took ages to shift. Real agony so I do sympathise...

My pains are mainly in my legs and some nights I seem to spend all night unable to get comfortable.

Sainsbury's have quite a good site about eating well for less and a free monthly mag that is thin but packed with recipes and its free...I have so many wonderful sites and recipes on my computers...more than I can ever hope to make. But I love to look and am becoming more interested in trying something new.

I've been in a picky sort of mood today...not really eaten much at all but more than ever I believe in what I want, when I wish and as little or as much at the time I feel. It could be a meal, a snack. I purchased a sausage, bacon and egg roll(new)at Greggs in Newcastle on Saturday and forgot about it.

Had it not so long ago...had a minestrone cup a soup and two Kingsmill 50/50 buns dipped in it. Not very exciting but it did the trick. Nott very impressed with the roll.

I always wanted more than 8 million megapixals as my present camera has but generally I have been happy with the quality so may just go for the same. This is waterproof too...

Pops you can get a praktica 10 mega pixel camera in Argos for £38. They're a lot easier to return to Argos if anything goes wrong too.

Focus less on yourself and things are easier. Look at the bigger picture and the problems other people have.

Sometimes thinking and expressing those thoughts distract from the real problems in a person's life. By me thinking about my past today I have distracted myself from worrying about the few £'s left out of our housekeeping. I didn't have enough money to buy envelopes or post my application form today but instead of it eating me up I thought about the past and future. Sorry for coming across all superficial and moaning about things that are not relevant. It's just how I cope sometimes.

If they bother you, past or present pet, they are relevant!!! The title of the thread says it all and the emphasis should be on supporting!!! You don't have to say sorry for anything, we are all the same here, equals in joy and in sorrow, happiness and sadness, we rejoice and sympathise together, Lyn xxx.

Thank you for that I must investigate...:)I paid much more for my Olympus many years ago...I don't really keep photo's for myself as I am the one taking them:rotfl:and normally I have no one to show them to but it is nice to post images on the blog...

A problem shared and all that. We all probably have similar fears and I think there is something in not being to inward and analysing our innermost thoughts but equally it can help and we are all sharing our lives on here and talking about ourselves...I guess I do that on my blog. That is probably why some write books about their lives or a diary.

Hopefully what we say may help others or they may say something that helps us...

Fuddle I took Lavandulas post to be trying to offer advice on filling in the application forms - you expressed how difficult you found it and that you were unsure whether you were writing too much about you. I assumed Lavandula was trying to offer you help in that if you think you are focussing in the form on you too much, then look at others and their issues and use that to write about instead.
I may be totally wrong - but I thought it was a really good piece of form filling advice. I often get into the I this and I that when filling out forms, using the advice from Lavandula may well help.

Hi Pops,
If your current camera is 8MP, that is sufficiently high res to print good quality images at 17" x 22" and there are few printers around that would want anything higher for a 10" x 8" print at the highest possible resolution on specialist photo paper.
The Aldi camera claims to be waterproof to 3 metres (and I can see the advantage of a waterproof) but the odds are your Olympus has a far better lens, which is what makes the biggest difference.

This is not in english and has subtitles but whilst available you may enjoy this series about many recipes that are traditional in the Scottish Highlands...but the website is in Gaealic(sp?)so if you watch makes notes as you do...

not posted again in a while (long while ) pop's instead of buying packs of pea shoots it works out a lot cheaper to buy a box of dried marrowfat peas and sow a handful at a time in a shallow tray. (can get a small bag of compost in the £1 shops) you can then cut them fresh whenever you fancy some x

kidcat, migraines are horrible. I've not had them for maybe 17 years but all of a sudden I've had 3 in two weeks. I've also started to suffer from alopecia, so i'm thinking it may be down to stress, although I don't feel particularly stressed!
I've taken a couple of days off work to try and make sure i'm fighting fit, so off to bed shortly.

Before I go, sending love to all of you, I often read even if I don't always take the time to post xx
