Morning all,

had to peel myself out of bed this morning. I couldnt sleep when i went to bed and then the dogs got me up twice in the night.

Everyone around me is ill, and i'm struggling to keep positive. Hubby hasnt messaged me yet i am assuming he is ill in bed.:( I usually get my first text at 6.30 then another at 8. Ive had neither. Either that or he's peed off with me considering the conversation we had last night.

Me: 'If your that ill i think you ought to come home. You finish tomorrow anyway'.
Him: 'I need the money'
Me: 'If you needed the money you wouldnt quit the job, lets face it what difference does coming home a day early make?'

I dont think he was very pleased.:undecided

Moving swiftly on from my woes.

Jobs for today:

[STRIKE]Bathroom[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Change bedding[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Laundry[/STRIKE]
Clean the leather suite as its grubby again
[STRIKE]Post Office. I might even buy myself a Dairy Milk to cheer myself up.:rotfl:[/STRIKE]
Ebay.... a search for two 1ltr shampoo/conditioner pumps. Ive found a shampoo i like thats relatively cheap but it comes in 1ltr size bottles which are a bit heavy to pick up with wet hands.
Tea. Noodles of some description.:D As you can see, i havent thought that far ahead.:o

Have a good day all... think of me wallowing in my self pity

Morning all

Enjoying the sun!! & being rather lazy.

Julie No real knowledge of DMP's but from reading around, please make sure Step Change is a charity offering help, and not a Company which charges you making it longer to pay off your debts. I am sure the Debt Free Board could help.

Organised the return of DH's wallet he left at the last hotel, with help from an old work colleague in France. Nice to be remembered. Until it arrives I am the driver as you have to carry your license with you at all times here.

Skye enjoying herself, and has made a few new doggy friends when we walk her, as well as adopting the neighbours.

Tina. Don't hide yourself away, you have not done anything wrong, and we are a fairly accommodating gang here, one of the few threads, where we don't wish to be nasty to each other.

Take care all. DG

Hi all

Just catching up with the tail end of yesterday's thread; brainfog in full swing, so I will use my trick of attempting to reply onto a Word.doc as I come to the posts.:o

Hester imho the students should be picking up their own detritus, putting the plates and cutlery in a tidy pile, and the rubbish in the bin. No ifs or buts. I'm cross on your behalf; I didn't think you were paid as a maidservant!:mad:

Tina oh honey; (((HUGS))) I can't begin to imagine. Stay strong, sweetie.

Rachel (((HUGS))) for you too – pain is my constant companion also; like you, I'm on morphine.

Bargainbird pity I can't lend you Megan for an hour; she'd chase the BD away. Have a (((HUG)))

DG good that Skye's making friends – she looks such a little love in the pics you've posted, I can imagine she melts hearts just by being there.:D

Megan's had a daft half-hour here – rolling around and generally wanting to play.:o She's thirteen and a half years old, and fairly portly, and moulting as only a Labrador knows how to do (right, Bitsy?);) so I've had half a binful of fur out of her during the course of our game. Her owners didn't send a brush with her, unfortunately, so this has been an ideal opportunity to “groom” her.:o The downside is the lounge now desperately needs vacuuming yet again.:cool:

I had a something of a chat with Mr LW concerning the effects of depression; I think it's brought it home to him a bit that it's actually to be taken seriously, because an acquaintance of ours has very recently taken his own life whilst suffering depression. Whether he really takes it on board remains to be seen; he's a lovely, lovely man, but really, this is his blind spot, imho. I've tried to explain to him that I can't find it in me to care about anything; things that used to be fun are now just another chore; and if I was asked what I wanted to do, I wouldn't be able to give an answer because I simply don't care - I can't be bothered to care, and tbh I don't have the energy to care; all I want is for the pain to stop and all the stress to go away.

Ah, well, thank goodness for the dogs; I have to keep going for now, for them.:o

Tina love, Motherhood isnt easy. There are no rules. You bring your kids up the best way you can/know how but once they get to a certain age peer pressure kicks in. Personally, i was strong enough as a child not to give a stuff as what people thought of me. Hence i never smoked, drank or went to wild parties or had plenty of boyfriends. I bought up my 5 the best way i could/knew how.


Who am i to judge you for having a wayward son? No, not i.

Good afternoon everyone

Blowing a gale and squally rain here, to say nothing of the thunder and hailstones that woke me up at 4.30!

Salmon and pasta for dinner, well I hope it was salmon that I got out of the freezer. Just been very naughty and had a portion of chips for my lunch

I'm going to need you old stylers support more than ever. I feel strangely elated. None of the debt has gone but at least I can now see a way forward.

I am also going to start posting on the DMP support thread and do lots of reading up.

Julie - that thread was my rock when I started on MSE just over a year ago. It is full of experience, advice, help and support and like this thread, the people are friendly and never judgemental. I really look forward to seeing you there.

Tina - you will never be judged by anyone here and you will always find an ear willing to listen or a shoulder to cry on. I could tell you things about my family that would make your hair curl. In fact, I am going to let one out of the bag right now .... my grandmother was a bigamist :eek:
OK now I have told you that, don't you dare leave us!


Off I go back to work leaving with well wishes for all sick people and pets and hugs for those who need or just want them. Keep warm and safe and have a super day everyone

my grandmother was a bigamist :eek:

Thats what you call having your cake and eating it!

Wolfy's "cat": (and some of the older posters - as in been on the thread longer, I don't mean they're octogenarians lol - already know this) my father was a child molester.:(:mad: Fortunately, as far as I'm aware, I was the only child he actually molested. 'Tis part of the reason I'm estranged from my family.

Now, have a (((HUG))), Tina, and rest assured you'll always have support here.
