    You could always show your gratitude by sending some money to PO Box SS. :D

    Even though I joined the site back in 04 originally I have only been posting on here properly for around 8 Months and the stress relief the site offers is incredible.

    Wish you all the best on the rest of your DFW Journey

    Hi Icka
    Glad to see you posting.... I lurked too for a few months before posting, was fascinated by what I read. And then went on to start to post a little bit. Its different, I really like it, I still love people's stories, like you do, and I'm a visible little bit part of it too now, the community here, which is wonderful.

    Hi Icka,

    It made me feel really sad listening to your story, but it sounds like your life is on the turn and can only get better.

    Sounds like you are more positive already and getting your life back on track, good on you girl, keep your head high and keep positive, you will sort everything out eventually I have no doubt about it.

    Big hugs to you,

    XXX

    Oh wow, thank you so much for your lovely replies, they made me cry. The people who I have being reading with the greatest interest are the ones who replied. wow what a lovely feeling

    . I'm sitting here on my couch "working from home". Had another really really bad day yesterday. keep fighting with my OH, bless him he's lovely just want to be on my own. Feel like I'm being smothered, think im just so down that the thought of sleeping with him makes me feel awful.

    Thank you for all your lovely advice, I will do a SOA when I get a chance. I have to do 2 telephone interviews first withsome mad German's. Not that Germans are mad i like Germans, just these two are really odd, some might say special:rotfl: I'm sorry if I have offended any Germans out there.

    Anyway sometimes my job can be funny, I'm a corporate recruiter, so if anyone needs any help with interview tips, help with CV's etc I would be more than happy to help. I can interview anyone from a surgeon to a sales engineer, right across the board. Please use me. Most interviews are competancy based so its greats to have the heads up on what they will ask before you go in.

    Sea I love you thank you for saying that about the hair I thought I was the only one - its so funny.

    Anyway you lot have given me the strenght to get up shower and get to work (in the actual office) good thing about recruiting internationally you do alot of interviews over the phone so they cant see that you are sitting with a panda face as you couldn't be arsed taking off yesterdays make up and you have a snotty nose from crying.

    Oh yea OH birthday today we are going to the comedy club, not really in the mood, need to make the effort - nothing fits me, and I really dont want to go. Shut up girl stop feeling sorry for yourself, get up have a shower, talk to some mad Germans and go to work.

    Do you think I can ask a random stupid question to cheer myself up and put them off. LIke how do you feel about vanilla ice cream. and if they say what :confused: I could just say I was checking their level of everyday English. that might be fun:T

    Oh you lot I have some interviews to conduct, then I have to wash myself horray I hear you say, :T Then I'm going to pluck up the courage to go to work, then Im going to go and laugh at a comedy and probably going to have to have sex. Well it is his birthday, oh the joys.

    Thats reallyunfair I used to love sex, now the thoughts of it make me want to run very far away, I feel like crap. No its ok it wont last that long anyway:rotfl: it will be fine:rotfl: oh Im so bold.

    Ok got to go see you later

    Thanks again you have made my day:A
    Thread softly becuase you thread on my dreams

    Hi Icka :wave:

    Yes, go on, ask them about vanilla ice cream.....in fact that's maybe a bit too easy....ask how they feel about pomegranate sorbet! :D

    You mentioned about the sex thing.....it could be because you are feeling down in other areas of your life that you are not feeling the 'urges' - I know when I'm stressed/unhappy, the last thing I want is to be prodded and poked (if you'll pardon the expression lol), in fact sometimes I don't really like to be touched at all, even affectionately. It doesn't make you abnormal, and I wouldn't worry about it, but if it is bothering you, maybe have a chat to your GP about it.

    I hope you have fun at the comedy club, sometimes they have some really good comedians on (and sometimes some not so good ones, but you can still laugh at how crap they are). Laughing together is a lovely way of feeling close to a loved one.

    Take care and have a nice day xxx
