    Maybe I was a trifle more upset than I should have been BUT I did ask questions 3-4 times and people were discussing their online orders when I posted each time. Someone COULD have answered as they obviously knew the answers. Having never done a pick up order I asked if you pay before or after + asked for a link to the vouchers and whether I had to use my real address if you picked up - if you could pay when you picked up needed answering BEFORE I could do a shop.
    I just felt as if everyone was ignoring me & was SO stressed I got upset.

    In my defence I'd had about 8 hrs sleep in total, in the previous WEEK. Hubby had a really bad reaction to his increased meds - which made him almost suicidal when he wasn't sleeping (totally a change of personality as his life goal is to make everyone smile & laugh) - which was 90% of the time. He stopped breathing half a dozen times in about 2hrs. I knew I couldn't go shopping and leave him alone. The previous 3 days I just couldn't stop crying, I was THAT stressed out & I'm ALWAYS the one who can cope with everything.

    I had to call the doctor out. He refused to go to hospital with the ambulance - understandably so, as they don't watch him like I do. Thankfully the meds have been changed and I'm starting to have my husband back - the one who makes me laugh.

    I had just got to the end of my rope. It was so bad I looked at his morphine & wondered how much it'd take to put the 2 of us out of our misery. I've NEVER ever felt so low and I never want to go there again. I'm the strong one normally & we've gone through some sh.t in the last few years and are still going through it. I won't be on for a while as I have to look after hubby & also try to get some sleep. I ONLY came on as I realised no-one had realised that the cheese was glitching again, the coffee too.

    Bless you, sounds like you're having an awful time. Glad your DH's meds seem to be getting him back on track.

    I hope you're getting some RL support too :A

    Welcome BB :D

    My thoughts are also with the wee man. For some reason I find it really easy to post my sympathies with those who have parents/older family members suffering and passing on.
    Im lost for words when it comes to children who are suffering :(

    He is a super Kid. Cute as a bean now growing into a handsome young man. They are the nicest family. His Dad originally gave him one of his but it rejected it. But they just get on with it. His Mum used to send me messages every time my little miss had been to clinic etc. We were lucky little miss is pretty much 100%

    But yes its so hard , something about bairns just rips your heart out. :A


    Ps thanks guys, looks like he had an extra 50 likes today. I cant see who has obviously but I feel the Elite prescence xx

    You are certainly having a tough time, hang in there and hopefully things will continue to improve. X

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Sorry WIRS. I was making my first online order at the time too and had similar questions to you so don't know how helpful I could have been. One kind forumite sent me some info and then went to bed. I think a lot of people were headed that way/tucked up when we posted the other night.

    I'm used to having questions not answered as I'm sure many of us are- but I don't take it personally. If I don't get an answer I just muddle through. A lot of this is trial and error, even for the most experienced of moneysavers.

    We all love you here so please don't stay away too long.

    Now that people know what a hard time you're having, we can try and support you. I have been lucky enough to receive an immense amount of support from the people here. There are squabbles and disagreements.......and mis understandings :o but the support is there.

    It's not all about shopping, you can vent here if you need to, although I understand what a great comfort having another focus can be. I, more than anyone know what losing the person you love whilst they are still there in body feels like, so you have my sympathy.

    I suggest drawing a line, you continue the sterling work that you do......but you also let go and moan/vent/ talk when things are getting on top of you :)

    I have to admit in my younger days, I enjoyed life to the full. I once went out on New Years Eve, 6 days later I was pounced on my one of my dad's friends in a pub.. dad arrived shortly afterwards to take me home! I'd had a great time!

    It is a right of passage for many youngsters, but hopefully they grow out of it quickly!

    I was 16 when I disappeared!

    Slept for a week, never again!

    I would kill my kids if they did this.

    and in the 20's they should know better, much better
