Hugs to all of you, sounds like everyone is having a bit of a tough time in January. Soon it will be a new month and hopefully everything will seem a little better.

Haven't done any flying yet, been out all morning and getting help with my job application that I have to submit tonight. Got friend and her LOs popping over later so I should probably do a bit of flying first as I didn't do any yesterday.

Happy wednesday all.

PS Thank you Yorkshire-Lass, was fine the rest of the day

Good luck to all those job hunting and having interviews.

I have swished and swipped the kitchen and done my budget, not going at the same speed as yesterday

Hi all; dogless here now, so I shall be making some sort of attempt to tackle the midden this place has become while Evie's been staying.:eek:

Dusty and Roxy and Kazw many, many thanks for your offers of help :A:A:A It has to be Mr LW who comes with me though, as he has to actually come into the surgery with me and take in what the doctor says, and also ensure I tell her everything I'm supposed to. I am so pathologically scared of medical people that I just shut down mentally when I get in there.:eek: But thanks again, it means so very much to me that I have friends who care that much (something I never thought I'd have in a million years!)

I shall also have to keep checking the online appointments system – when I looked yesterday there was nothing available whatsoever before 10th Feb. (if you're going to be ill, make sure you schedule it at least 3 weeks in advance, style of thing).:cool: I don't do phones at all, apart from Mr LW and the dog-sitting franchisee (both have their own ringtone on my mobile so I know who it is before I answer), and am too scared of the Dragons in reception to go in and throw teddy out of the pram, so online booking it will have to be. Apparently Mr LW's usual GP's daughter is also a GP and is currently at the surgery as a locum, so I think I shall try to get in to see her if possible, as my own usual GP is on mat leave.

I had a weird thing with my right elbow this morning, couldn't straighten it for about half an hour (scratches head and wonders what the heck that's all about:cool: but it seems to have sorted itself now.:o

The good news is the hot wax hand bath I did last night (I do my feet as well, while the wax is melted) has helped a lot:T – I think I just need to refrain from forcing myself to just plug on and do my jobs as usual and work through the pain. This is difficult, because it's always been my practise to mentally tell the bit that's hurting “ok, so something's wrong, now just shut up about it, I don't have time for it right now” iyswim.:cool:

Deco (((HUGS))) you are one very brave lady; and if there's any way in which I can be of help, please tell me. In the meantime, coping vibes on their way to you; I agree with HB the time of year doesn't help, and everything's been so soggy for the last few weeks, it's enough to drag anyone down, let alone a bod who is not on top of the world to begin with.

Sticks and trebuchet by the back door for those dratted dark doggies.

YAY!! I've always wanted to have a go with a trebuchet, since seeing one in action at one of those re-enactment events, a few years ago.:D

OK, I've taken up far too much of the thread, so I am now going to carefully attempt to shift the rather too thick layer of dust that has settled over everything while I've been Evie-sitting.;)

Hello All

My GUAG has gone (will explain later in the post be feel free to ignore it) but managed to cook lasagne & a tuna pasta bake yesterday. Need to play freezer tetris to get the lasagne portions in the freezer though. Today WM on and washing needs to be hung on the indoor line.

**Self indulgent ramble**

Sorry not sure where to post this.

OH passed away almost 4 years ago. 6 months prior to his passing I was severely depressed (considered taking my life) but knew I needed help so went for counselling. From that I was able to work out for myself (i.e. the counsellor didn't talk me into it or put words in my mouth) that the relationship wasn't working for me. I was devastated as I loved him so much but he'd 'cheated' and lied to me about something that was and still is fundamentally important to me. Which made me feel that the relationship was based on a lie. I feel that he didn't really love me, I was forever jumping through hoops to prove my love for him and no matter how hard I tried he never believed me.

I've grieved him, our relationship (what was and what might have been). Up until very recently I had the belief that OH hadn't loved me really (if I went into all the reasons why I felt this way this post would be as long as war & peace!). But i'm now trying to come to terms with the fact he did love me, just not in the way he said he did or the way I thought/hoped he did.

I'm now comfort eating as I feel hollow. I don't know where to begin to deal with the loss of his & our love. I know I won't ever stop loving him but need to deal with this as it's holding me back and I want to go forward with my life.

***ramble over***

Sorry I just needed to empty my head of these thoughts.

I am sorry but I am not an active "flylady". I popped in today because it is the third anniversary of the passing of Money Saving Diva who spent quite a lot of time in here a few years ago.

I saw your post Deco and it rang lots of bells for me and I wanted to comment if that's ok? I had counselling via CRUSE after MSD died and whilst I set out not really knowing what I would gain from the counselling, it helped me no end.

The service is available nationally. It is free and I was able to have as many sessions as I felt I needed. I was also told that I could see my counsellor again at any time if I needed support. There was an initial wait of a month or so but once I was in his timetable my place was always there.

People told me that time is a great healer. I didn't want to hear that at the time and prob don't want to hear that now but it gets easier.

If you want to PM me then please do.

Best wishes to you all and of course esp to those of you who remember MSD and her purple ways.

Ian

RIP Moneysaving Diva. So much love on the board today.

I've decided to take all discs out of cases and recycle them, the discs now live in my one big disc folder thingy - two shelves now free.

Has it really been 3 years? RIP Moneysaving Diva xx

Given the lounge a really good going over; it looks and feels so much fresher. Had a bag beside me to bin stuff, put things where they should go, dusted with a wet cloth - you'd never believe the disgusting gunk I found behind my old computer. DH busy doing a job application and don't want to disturb him but dying for him to see it lol!

Off to get DS shortly after a good productive day. Beavers tonight and then want to sit down with DH once the kids are in bed to see another Breaking Bad!
