    Morning! I'm not stopping...going to try & make some proper headway with stuff for 25/12. Actually saw the sweetie boxes in this week's newsletter, & I'm gonna make up a few for the offspring, me muvva cuz she's a diabetic & their sweets are never gift wrapped for special occasions, & propably one for p-u-p too. Our nearest market sell '3 bags for a quid'---liquorice torpedos & aniseed balls & the like---so that'll do for the offspring at least!

    The pooter has been acting up big time, so if I'm not around for a while, check your thanks box. I have got on to BT again, so hopefully we'll be sorted before too long.

    I am thinking of you all & constantly playing the BeachBoys into this thread......for the babies among us, they had the original---& best---version of 'Good Vibrations'.....hope it's working!

    Have a good Friday, & Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

    Hiya Tiff,

    I can't stay. I'm getting haircut, rushing to brum for a job interview.
    Then see family and watch England win the rugby. Out for a meal at some point and then back home.

    Take care of yourself xxx

    To the rest of you gorgeous people -- have a great weekend and remember that each golden second is an extraordinary gift that is given to us in this wonderful thing called life. So get out there and PARRRRTEE!!!

    Bad night for me, sleeping it off didn't work. Was planning on watching some HD Lost to take my mind off it, but the V+ Box is playing up, so I can't even do that. Don't know what else to do. I think I'll just go back to bed and sleep till my appointment in a month or so. I really don't know how much longer this can go on. Somethings going to give, and unfortunately it'll probably be the one thing that they don't take seriously - the eating. I wish there was help for that. They don't seem to undestand that if I can't control the eating, I'll start self-harming again, and if I do that, I'll end up drinking again. Everyone just seems to say 'whats the harm in eating a bit much - its alright, you aren't drinking'. It feels like its just one contstant, long, struggling battle, and only a little bit wants to fight anymore.

  • hi all,
    ethel......really good news about your ds.am so glad hes in a lovely place at the mo.these old houses seem to be dissappearing only to be replaced by impersonal hotel type buildings which i dont think inspire anyone to feel better, whereas you can look round the old places and walk round the gardens.
    feelie.....am so sorry you are not that great at the mo.ppl just think they are helping when they say stuff about the food, whereas i think anything you get addicted to is as hard to get away from as any other other thing.ive got sky+ and its really great and dont know how we managed without, tbh.anyway,please try to keep plodding on.you are doing really well, especially if you look back to where you were.you can only take each day as it comes, so hang in there.xx
    katie.....have you managed to catch "jericho" on itv4 on weds at 8pm.think you would enjoy it.is on for a few weeks but they give you a catchup as it starts.its about ppl in a small town cut off by loads of nuclear explositions.glad you are enjoying the classes.
    hi to gillette........sound very cheery.hope job goes well.
    bmf.......good to hear you.have a thing for aniseed balls, myself.am so unorganised for the xmas thing, always creeps up on me.hope pup is ok.charlie is following the sun round the garden as we speak!!!
    hi tiff.....dont think you scared me off, cos im from yorkshire and made of sterner stuff.maybe they are all sneaking in the back cat flap while you are distracted by doing the register.better watch the smarties!!!!!
    hi to sf and poppy and sazzy as well as everyone who deserves a mention but who i cant remember.....but you know who you are.xx
    must away to hang out the washing and do all the exciting stuff like .......chores.!!!!!
    god bless.love ilgd xx

    Sometimes I just don't see the point in being here anymore.

    Life wasn't meant to be a constant struggle I'm sure.

    I have no motivation or control over any area of my life.

    Sometimes I lie in the bath and I wonder where it all went so wrong.

    And at other times I imagine what it would feel like to finally just end it all.

    My pain and all of the hurt, heartbreak and suffering that I have aused others.

    I can almost feel the relief that would follow - watching the pretty red seeping out and swirling around me in the water, knowing that tomorrow I wouldn't wake up and have to drag myself through another day pretending to be normal.

    And yet I can't do it.
