Feel better soon hun.
The a/d sounds familiar. Ami? Am on it. Can't say feel affected moodwise, but have to say it has given me a far superior spine since it built up in my system! Taking far less of other pills and that has to be a good thing eh? Keep trucking on, note your symptoms. Low doses are used for pain, high doses for anti depressant purposes
Take it steady. Little and often with the tidying etc. You will get there!

Yay Peaty!

Do tell about the dates. I met my husband at 18 so kind of bypassed the dating scene - I'm always so intrigued!:rudolf: DF by Xmas 2018: #83 £8,250/£15,000 55% :rudolf:

The dating thing is weird, I've never done it in this way before. Usually I know the person before hand and it's a gradual movement from friend into romance... Now I'm meeting people with the idea that I might be into them in that way. It is odd because you wouldn't feel odd for someone to meet up with different new friends, but meet multiple new "possibles" and suddenly it's awful. I am just chatting! I haven't even kissed one of these guys! >.<
Without wanting to sound a bit like a disney fairy princess wannabe, I prefer just being in a relationship. Dating is boring and repetitive. But if you want more information about the individual dates, I will private message you (don't want to jinx anything).
Liltikins, I'm on citalopram which I get on better with than ami. Ami makes me weep constantly or sleep even more than usual! I've always been badly effected by a/d.
I.. Got ... a bonus. For the first time. Ever. I'm shocked. I mean, I deserve it, I work bloody hard and get paid an amount that people tend to be shocked at when told. The last time I told an agent, she told me it was way too low, I know. :-/ But my boss gave us a bonus! What is happening? I mean, without about 2 hours of this, he told me that I have no sense of humour...? Mixed messages.
I also got a letter to say that cashback credit card limit has more than doubled! yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh :cool:
Plus, I've opened up a club lloyds account for 4% plus a 4% regular saver (when I get around to opening it).

Remind me to choose between Lloyds & TSB in February when my 5% runs out with Nat-wide.
Dating frightens the life out of me. I am not comfortable in my own body at these scenes and I tend to be overly extrovert and bubbly which is exhausting just covering up that I am shy. I'm into weird stuff like Marvel comics and science and finances and it is a bit sad so I just clunk through these things. Probably why I have only been in 2 serious relationships.
I was given citalopram last year. It is still in the cupboard. Mine was for depression and I didn't want to resort to pills, I just wanted to stop feeling so rubbish. And I have
hope it starts to settle in your system soon. The say give it 3-6 months! xx

As a direct replacement then I'd say TSB Lilt, you could always open up the other account later one. But if you don't already have a TSB account, you can no longer have two unfortunately.
I think if you line up a couple of practice dates then you get to relax a bit into them. Lots of guys love nerdy girls actually, I typically talk about games and economics if the conversation runs dry. My thinking is that if they aren't at least ok with pretending to be interested then they aren't worth it. I have some pretty strict criteria on first dates, if they touch anywhere other than the arms then it's a no, clearly isn't listening- no, refer to my chest-no, have an argument- NO... the list goes on..0 -
LOL that list is hilarious!!!
:D
I don't already have a TSB account - when they split I ended up with a Lloyds account. I don't mind tarting current accounts around for rates
or for cash LOL

I like the list too. Do you ever watch millionaire matchmaker. The old series was great. Patty was no nonsense, matching people for long term relationships.OSWL (start 13st) by 30Jun20 6/10

Yes! Millionaire matchmaker is brilliant! Just when she bans people for having the wrong intentions, it's just amazing! NO YOU CANNOT SLEEP WITH ALL THE GIRLS!
Merry christmas everyone! Did you have a great day? Christmas in my family is 3 days, an evening with my nanny (she spends the day with her biological family), the day with my mum and sister and then boxing day with my brother, sister in law and the uncles! Tonight I'm actually having my christmas do with friends! We're playing games at a friend's house.
It's going to be a spendy time now. I am the most healthy I have been since I first became ill at 17, but I'm on a lot of meds. Don't get me wrong, the meds are doing a great job but being lighter and fitter tends to make fibro better. So for 2015, I am going to get fitter so I've been buying things like trainers and workout clothes (don't think I can get away with my jeans). This is with the view that in 2016, I might be able to lose some of the meds. So far my spends have been:- 2 sets of yoga pants, on sale~ £14 for the pair
- trainers, on sale ~ £30
- Meds to allow me to do this ~an arm and a leg
Things I need to get (general):- Sports bra ~lots
- Maaaybe a gym membership ~ £35 a month, no extra fees, classes included
- Laptop ~ £900-1000, custom build
- yet more meds ~ My other arm and my first born
I'm on my heavier drugs at the moment, I have this awful awful pain in my left hand and I can't cope with it.0 -
Sounds like you've had a busy lovely time. Love the healthy plans. DD had a sports bra from Aldi and it's great. Wished we'd bought two as they were only £6. If I can find them elsewhere I'll let you know.
Sorry to here about your pains. I'm suffer with aches etc at the moment. The osteo and Pilates helped no end last year and it's amazing how different you feel when you are pain free. You just don't know until you get to that point though. Pain is a bummer. Come along on the Pilates train. Try a few classes to find one you like as they all seem different. I would love to join a gym, but we are so far out of town and I would never go back into town once I've picked up DD and gone home. Maybe in the summer and we are thinking of moving sometime, but then I can start running when it's lighter. Defo going to do Pilates, maybe swimming and table tennis/badminton as I love social activities the best (I like the opportunity to yak).
Look forward to swapping fitness stories. XxOSWL (start 13st) by 30Jun20 6/10
