Hi folks,

I've just spend £600 on my kitchen (so far) that I don't have.
I don't feel too well (I hope it's not toncilitis again).
I will rest and start work tomorrow on it.

I'm not in a good mood at all lately. My life is one big zero. Being out of work sucks bigtime. It's bank holiday for you all - but just a weekend without friends or family for me. Sorry to moan but I am sick of being this failure. There is so much to sort out I don't have time for a job....but in 2 or 3 months I will be penniless. Did I work for 20 years to lose it all? Maybe I did.

Anyway.....

Great news Rose xxx
So glad Ethel is back xx

Tiff, Saz, poppy, ILGD, QB, Curly, Andi, RBK, Tulip, SF, Dawn et al.
Love to you all

Hiya....hope you've had some fun today, somehow.
The Big Mansion Fiasco has been over run with reprobates of various degrees, as the offspring are hosting a pre-wrestling-on-the-box barbie. Of course, it started with just two guests & developed into the whole neighbourhood & their cat! [Sorry Tiff...no offence meant:o ]
Of course it was all spur of...so what could have been a Kinks [Lazy Sunday Afernoon] turned into a manic clean it before you die session;)
Keyboard sticking again :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: :eek: :eek: Read you later!
Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

:hello: guys, I hope you are all OK and have a lovely day.

I'm feeling :mad: and today. My so-called friend said I was fat and atm I'm really really sensitive about my weight. I know I shouldn't take it to heart but I do. I think I'm fat but when someone else says it too it just confirms my thoughts. For the last couple of weeks I've really restricted food and over the past week I've lived on 1 meal a day and been to the gym but what good has it done. I'm obviously not restricting it enough

:hello: rbk.

Your friend is an insensitive jerk. And of course you take what they say to heart. :grouphug: I'm tubby, and I've been sensitive about it for years. Now however, I've started to think 'so what? Who cares what they think. There is nothing physically wrong with me, so whats the point in making myself miserable.' Luckily, one of OH's redeeming features is that he loves my wobbly bits........ :rotfl: Also, what andi and tulip says is true. It's how you feel inside that counts, not what you look like or how 'fat' you are.

However, and from a purely science viewpoint, restricting your food intake will not do you any good at all. All it does is panic the body into storing what you DO eat. Boring I know but the best way to lose weight is to eat three healthy meals a day, avoid snacks and do some exercise. Am I preaching? If so, please feel free to throw things at me, they'll just bounce off....:eek: :rolleyes:

:hello: everyone else. Haven't read through from my last post yet, so I hope everyone has had an agreeable day, and lets hope bank holiday monday brings sunshine and a peaceful day for all.

((((big hugs to all))))

I hope everyone is having a good weekend or trying to make the best of it, I realise how hard it can be for those of you on your own or those of us who try not to let our families down...

...petrichor Sending huge (((HUGS))) your way. It doesn't sound as though the Doctor was very helpful at all. Did he/she suggest anything? Offer any kind of support? ....

Thanks rbk The Dr seemed nice at the time, it was afterwards when I could think about it that I realised that she was just humouring me She said that as I had been well for so many years - if by 'well' she meant years of treating myself (self abuse - it's like a punishment as I believe that I should be able to cope) and not wanting to bother anyone - then I should stay on the same meds but have lithium as well. I had it years ago and for some unknown reason I just didn't like it, I told her this but she said it was worth a try but admitted that she didn't know much about my current antidepressant as it was an old one Why is she doing this job??? So I've got to have a blood test to check my levels before I can start on them, she said she'd speak to me again when the results come back but I can't get in for a blood test until this coming Thursday. As I mentioned the other day she just kept referring to my old notes despite me telling her how much different it is this time. The CPN is coming out to see me this week so I'll try and explain it to her about how desperate I feel, I just have to hope that I don't hit another big low phase before then. I only asked to be referred back to them because I had tried everything that I could and I don't want my DD to see me at my worst, fortunately she can't remember the bad times of years ago.

I'm wondering whether to write down my feelings and about how let down I feel and ask that it be put in my file, just in case. Do you think that they would do this? I thought that I would never get this way again, but, well......

...Thank you qb for your post about the lift :rotfl: :rotfl: I thought it was brilliant. Wouldn't it be nice to have the nerve to try some of them out, that'd make them sit up and take notice :rotfl: BTW does anyone else here feel guilty when you laugh at something? ...

...Thanks for the relaxation tips tiff :T I've copied them for future use, I hope, as I won't be able to settle for long enough at the moment ...

...I hope everyone has a good evening and let's hope for a better day for us all tomorrow
