    I missed a pill on Saturday, felt so much better Sunday so decided not to take another and feel good again today. My energy is coming back. On the meds all I wanted to do was sleep and had no energy at all. I am considering stopping them altogether now. What do you guys think? I've been on them for 5 weeks and have improved a great deal. Am I being silly to come off them? Should I carry on bearing in mind they take my energy, make me yawn ALL the time an make me sweat at night too.
    Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what yer gonna get ;);)

    Hi ethel!:hello:
    How are you angel? hug.gif It wouldn't be the same if I wasn't a couple of days behind everyone else would it? :D

    quote=EthelBloggs
    Evening everyone :)
    I'm going to blackpool at the beginning of june for a seminar on Community Control or sommat :confused: for 3 days :eek: I've decided that as I've had to give up uni, work and pretty much everything else I had in my life cos of my daughter's illness, I'll take whatver opportunities come my way and as I'm secretary of our local residents association this came up, all expenses paid so I'm havin it :D
    Good for you hun!:T :A You do deserve it ethel. Make sure you tell the family you're staying in Devon so they won't find you - you'll be totally free!:rolleyes: ;) Now what did Tiff say a hundred years ago about you climbing the ladder when you had that EU delegation visiting?
    I tell you Number 10 is waiting for you angel - as long as you don't mind sharing it with Gordon?!:D ;)

    On the saturday night there is a gala dinner, so I looked up what the suitable attire for such an event is and it seems pretty formal so I got 4pyzt6t.jpg
    this. Now I just need the accessories n stuff to go with it :D
    I've got some normal dressy stuff in case that is too flash just in case, but I've never had such a posh frock before, heheh/quote
    It's a stunning dress ethel!:T From your photo, I think that's a great colour for you hun. I don't think you'll have anything to worry about hun - and if it is a bit flashy, so what?! You deserve to shine. You'll have all those alley cats in Blackpool after you ethel - make sure you take a bodyguard!;) :D I hope you have a fantastic time.
    I hope all is well with you and yours hun. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Hi karrie!:hello:
    I hope all is well angel?
    quote=Karrie...
    Well, mentally, I am feeling much better but physically my body is exhausted and it's getting to me now. Doc assures me that my energy will come back. It's so frustrating. I just wanna lie on the sofa or in bed.
    It takes a long time and a lot of stress to make us low hun and sadly, it usually takes longer to get back on your feet. But you're getting there - well done you!:T The main thing is that you are feeling better and it's very important to be able to recognize that because if you have another dip, you can remind yourself it will go away.;)

    My school appeal is on Thursday. Please all keep your fingers crossed for us. We mind find out the outcome on the day or we will have to wait 7 days. I am quite calm about it now. A few weeks ago I'd be having hissy fits!
    Hope all is well with everyone although it is very quiet on here at the moment./quote
    Good luck for Thursday angel - I'll be thinking of you. Get everything organized now, all the papers ready in your folder and then on the day, there'll hopefully be no last minute flaps. Remember, don't be shy - tell them everything. You are doing the right thing in trying to get DS the safest and best education you can.
    Believe in yourself and speak from your heart angel.;)
    Take care karrie.hug.gif
    Much Love,

    Hi ltd!:hello:
    How are things hun?
    quote=learning_to_drive
    Have been finished from my temp job, I have no idea why, a right load of office politics and stuff, my id card stopped working on weds and i thought i might have been given the boot but i got a visitors pass (you have to give back every night) so obviously everyone knew before me, will be interesting to see what reasons are given when i go to job place on Monday.
    I'm sorry about the temp job hun.:o
    I would think that only HR would know about it and maybe the shift manager. Could it be that they didn't need as much help in the end as they thought they might? I hope it went all right today angel.headrub.gif

    Im not upset, im bloody angry because i sorta saw it coming, but i kept my head down and was given a kicking by boss and by agency for leaving early one day, but they have chosen to get rid of me anyway.
    It sounds like you're frustrated at yourself too hun. Was that the day you said you had to go to drs but had gone somewhere else? Can't remember the details. This is the downside of the flexibility of temping angel. I'm sure you'll be given many other opportunities angel - even if you don't feel it now.;)

    Its good that i found out last night, it ruined g/f's bday meal a bit really cos i kept going on about it :( but at least i have time off to cool down before Monday,/quote
    Good hun - I'm glad you're going to try and think calmly. Maybe they'll have some helpful constructive criticism.:confused:
    As for g/f angel, think of something special you can do to make it up to her.;)
    How about dedicating a whole day or weekend even, spoiling her with attention and little treats and reminding her how you feel about her by leaving random messages in unexpected places to find?
    Or maybe write down on some slips of paper the things you know she likes and then put them in a bag and let her have her very own lucky dip?
    I'm sure she understands angel. You've been through worse than this.;) Take care hun.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Ack, I'm just going to have a rant here. I went to Leeds today to meet my mum for the day, which was lovely. The bad side is, I spent quite a bit on my credit card. I just feel like I'm on a downwards slope and i can't do anything to stop it. with everything. :(
    -hug- to anyone who needs one.

    Hi sf!:hello:
    How are you doing sf?
    I'm glad you and mum had a great day out. It sounds as though it lifted your spirits hun.
    Retail therapy does have this downside angel I know. If you can't/don't want to take it back, then enjoy it hun. If you want to return items, then do so. Are you down about your finances angel?
    I was more alerted with the last part of your post angel. Why is everything feeling like it's slipping hun? I get the feeling that you're feeling very low generally and not just about your finances. Please feel free to post sf - it may lighten the load a little and you may get some pointers to the practical side of things too hun.
    Either way sf, it sounds like you're the one who needed a hug when you wrote this - so have a Tiffy hug on the house.;) hug.gif
    I hope the new week has found you feeling a little better hun. Take care.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
