    :mad: My evil plan for the offspring to take pup out this afternoon failed miserably! Their excuse was that pup doesn't like going out in the rain:eek: So guess who ended up walking him between showers? AND his lead broke, because someone had taught him to grab the bit that joins the extending bit to the anchor strap "for a game"......well, cobblers it is then:rotfl: :rotfl: luckily we have a very good little man at the bootom of the Arcade who may be able to repair it.....

    Aw Gilly, try & keep your spirits up babe
    you've done really well thus far:T & you know we are all behind you!:think: Might make it a bit awkward if you wanted to sit down mind:rotfl: We could try for a world record in simultaneous lap sitting, where you sit on the lap of the person behind you.....looks very effective for the first five seconds, then they all collapsed in a heap!

    Tulip, any plans for tomorrow? Perhaps sort out all your films....I tried to list ours a couple of times, so we would know what we had, but it didn't work very well.....we lost the book!:rotfl:

    Have a good evening folks, & hope you keep warm & dry.

    Can I ask why you don't want a support person at the moment Katie? I hope that doesn't sound like a nasty question, I'm just interested :)

    I know what you mean about finding descision hard - quite a lot of the time my mind just won't allow me to make descisions. Not good when OH is asking me wether we should sell the house for this price, and lots of buisness questions! Even little things like what to have for breakfast is quite hard sometimes.

    Hope you have a nice day, what are your plans?


    :hello: Feelinggood,

    in answer to your question why dont I want a support person at the moment,its because I am just not ready I suppose,I have been there before and there wasnt much they could do for me as I can shop etc by myself.There was another reason too which I cant say but my community nurse knows about it.I had a lovely day thank you,hope you had a good day :) btw I knew the question you asked me about the support worker wasnt a nasty one dont worry and I knew you were only interested as to why I had decided I wasnt having support anymore.

    thanks for caring about me :)

    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    Hi guys!:hello:
    Sleeping again?!!! tapping.gif

    Just in case you've forgotten...

    :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    And anything's got to be better than Purrsday was! (groan!) :D
    Been a bit of a tough Tiffy week, as you may have deduced from the fresh breeze coming from the open catflap. That story will probably be in Part 17 of The Tiff Chronicles!:rolleyes: But I've been thinking of you all.
    So I'm sorry for any pm or post not yet replied to. I've also been down into the Tiff archives, trying to gather the names of the new Tifflings to welcome, who posted while I was posting the afore-mentioned Tiff Chronicles. Didn't want to leave anyone out. ;)
    For anyone who is troubled with insomnia atm, The Tiff Chronicles ~ Part 6 will be up this weekend.:eek: :D
    Hope all is well with you all - and that you brought the catnip.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Hi juno!:hello:
    Oh sweetie, I am sorry.hug.gif
    Well done for being honest and brave enough to 'fess up though angel. Did anything trigger this angel? This might be helpful to identify so that if it happens again, you can avoid that trigger.
    You'll probably run a whole range of emotions when you get up hun & maybe feel like you've failed.
    Not so!!!

    Not meaning to sound preachy or anything sweetie, but what's happened, has happened & everyone's allowed to have a slip-up.
    It'll only feel like you failed if you carry on drinking. You've worked so hard juno and you should feel really proud of yourself hun.:T

    It's a really hard thing to do hun, but you managed for 3 weeks, and even though you had a slip-up last night, it was just one slip-up and you've proven that you do have the strength to stop. Tell yourself that hun & hopefully you'll keep adding the successful days to your signature line.;)
    I hope you're not too hard on yourself today angel. Let's get through today and leave last night where it belongs. You can do this hun!:T Thinking of you.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
