I'm soo sorry for causing you all to be worried, I just needed a break from the technology so haven't been online very much, and then my mobile phone broke so those of you who texted and stuff....... i didn't get those messages and now my phone's been replaced but I don't have anyone's numbers

I hope you're all fine, going to play catch up a bit to check up on you all in a sec, I hope you've been good and not going mad with the blue smarties :eek:

May I say on behalf of everyone here...

HOME ETHEL!!!

:j :j

Also...

And just time of the year do you call this young lady?!!!

You're grounded! :rotfl:

Worried so much over you, that I nearly had kittens!

:eek:

It's really good to hear from you sweetheart.
How are you hun? I hope the family is fine? You've been sorely missed and it's good to have you home.:T :A

Of course now I've got to go and re-allocate the blue smarties - so now you'll all be getting less 'cos I've got to give ethel a share!:rolleyes:


I'm looking forward to paying catch-up hun. PM me with your details sweetie. Don't worry angel - you know there's always a place for you here.;)
And you've only 70+ pages to catch up on! :eek:

I've kept you in my thoughts (even the good ones!:D) and I'm sure we're all relieved you're ok!:T


Take care hun - see you later - I'm waiting till sazzy gets up at about 2pm,:rolleyes: , so I can hear what a show she made of herself at the Notting Hill Carnival.
Mind you she must have been behaving as I haven't seen her on the TV news yet this year.;)
Do you remember last year's fiasco? _pale_ Only sazzy could riot by herself!:rotfl:
Thinking of you hun.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

hiya tiffy, and all of you who didn't run off in horror that im here :eek:

where to start...

well first off I got turned down for DLA on the grounds that I don't need help for an hour each time, only 20-30 mins :rolleyes: and of course that kicked me in the nuts proper so I didn't appeal in time , I'll reapply at some point in the future.

DD is doing well, she's almost stopped the SH, is enrolled on a college course and raring to go... she still needs a lot of support but she's deffo on the mend

DS is also pretty much sorted, he's going to be doing boat building on Mondays, something to with a city farm on tuesdays, school on weds n Thurs and Fridays will either be one to one tuition or stuff with the boatyard.

Also had a major bomb dropped in that my ex-husband turned up after 11 years :eek: , I'm not sure what he's up to but I'm keeping a bloody close eye on him and his conduct.

I've been pretty low physically which has dragged me down mentally too and i'm turning into a right crybaby Saw my gp a few weeks ago and he pretty much said I have to learn to live with it as there's not really anything that can be done. It's bad cos it messes with your head being told that - I haven't been out of the house in about 3 weeks and the thought of going out now is starting to scare me :eek: .Things aren't great with OH either, he tries to be sympathetic but he doesn't have the patience really, and then sometimes he forgets and accuses me of being lazy.. doesn't really make for sweetness and light does it? :rolleyes:

Thanks all of you for being so sweet and having me back.

Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OK so yesterday I mentioned a book recommendation I'd like to make.

I have recommended this elsewhere on the net and had about 5-7 people buy/borrow it and had 100% positive feedback, it was my bible when I was at my lowest points.

Some of the good things about this book are :

Not written by an expert - just someone who has been through it herself and shares her experiences and ways of coping.

The author herself advises taking from the book what you feel will work for you or you like the sound of and ignoring anything that doesn't "speak to you"

It takes a very gentle approach and is very compassionate.

It helped me a lot and as I say I have had a lot of positive feedback from others I have recommended it to.

and the title is ...................

Climbing out of Depression - Author: sue Atkinson

If you give it a whirl let me know what you think.

Has anyone else already got it or read it ?

Hope all are well

Hi guys!:hello:
LIGHTWEIGHTS!
It's 5.30 a.m. - where is everyone?

Well I was here ready to hand out the smarties but as no-one's here to collect them, they'll have to go back in the cupboard!:dance:

I hope you're all well when you do get up - good luck and Tiffy hugs for anyone having tests, treatment, appointments, meetings, new jobs, counselling or anyone who just feels a wreck and needs one.

andi - what's with the cryptic post hun or shouldn't I ask?
I hope you're ok.

rose - any mention of the 'w' word will result in the suspension of all smarties privileges!:eek: I'm glad you're first day at work went quite well. Don't be too hard on yourself angel - you're bound to feel exhausted getting into a new routine. Well done you!:T
Oh and rosie hun...
DON'T FORGET YOUR PAPERWORK!!!;)

judders - how's you angel? How was work for you? I hope the day went well and as I said to rose, there's bound to be that settling in period.;) Don't push yourself too hard ok? Take care hun.

sazzy - nice to see you around angel.:T How was yesterday hun - did work survive you?:D I'm glad mrs.sazzy was of an age to qualify as a senior citizen.
Will check out your pics later hun.
...Erm...they're not in 'OK' or 'Hello' mags are they?:eek:
Take care sweetie.

Huge Tiffy hugs to all.
Going to be a busy feline over the next couple of days, so please bear with me. All shall be revealed soon!;)
Btw...:D...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!:D :j
:eek:
Well come on guys - I gotta be first at something! :rotfl:
