I swear I saw a post with orange smarties....:o
The question I was to ask, is:
Do the different colour smarties taste any different?
I've not had any for years to be honest, and Tiff always locks this threads away before I can get there0 -

Gulp! 15 tablets? I get annoyed when I have to take a paracetamolIt's like being a walking pharmacy
I'd get a tad down if I had to remember to take 15 pills a day

Feel soo tired but I think I know why.
I get happy and get deflated easily - I wish I knew how to stop it happening. I feel I'm surrounded by party poopers (not on here).
I get got at for being miserable but when I make an effort, I get put down.
I feel I can't win - I wish I had the courage to leave and wish I could find the right property that isn't surrounded by annoying/noisy people. It isn't so bad here but still too close to neighbours. I am free, got nowhere to sell etc but every time we look at a property, it is wrong.
I have felt so unsettled since the holiday, feel surrounded by narrow minded folk where I live - I want to leave but don't know where to go.
I know the sort of people you mean....one rule for them, one rule for you etc.
Most people really annoy me and I feel like slapping them about a bit, but that would bring me down to their level.
The problem with people is they want their cake and to eat it.
If you feel down, you are told to get on with it. If you make an effort and have a little bit of fun, you are accused of not actually being down at all.
It's a greedy world where money, materials, physical 'attractions' rule, but there are some of us, like yourself and myself, who just want to break free from where we are.
That post probably came out like garbage, but hey i'm tired and at the moment just want everyone to fall through the ground0 -

not been posting much cos really I don't have anything much to post, other than the same old same old. I'm absolutely shattered, 2 kids in hospitals at opposite ends of the city and I don't drive :eek: Uni is falling by the wayside again.. I shoud be there now but I just don't have the necessary oomph to get there atm, I'm falling behind with stuff and it just all feels like an ordeal really.
I'm sooo tempted to go and have a snooze on the sofa but the guilt would probly do me in, lol so I'm trying to write an essay which is due in on Monday instead and getting nowhere with it.
Other than that, same s**t different day, hope you're all fine, I do think of you guys even tho I'm not posting very much,
much love xxxxxxxxx
I sometimes don't post for spells as it's the same old same old, but it's good to hear from people, just so we know they are 'okay'.
Keep in touch0 -
Why does it hurt so much when you lose someone who you thought was a friend?
Because they haven't met the high standards and morals that you pride yourself on.
I know it's hard and painful, but the simple fact is, it's their loss.
Sometimes you just have to admit you done your best and do your best to move on, giving yourself as much time as you need.0 -

" 'tis no fun with no Tiff "
Catch whoever tomorrow, hope Sunday brings you joy!
Tomorrow (Sunday) is the 19th anniversary of my Grandfather passing - the only positive male influence on my life ever and 1 year since I went to 1st fireworks display since the exact same night my grandfather passed (with flatmate and the now departed 'S')
Will feel odd no doubt.

Oh where is Tiff??? Do we think she is ok??
Meyore - I am very very lucky as my doctor is not only female and quite young so I feel I can talk to her - but she is also very sympathetic, and maybe it is in my mind but she genuinely seems to care.
She is also very new and therefore takes more time with you and really tries, whereas one week she wasn't avaialble and I had to see another doctor and not only did I get the impression she was going to send me back to work even though I couldn't yet control myself or my emotions but she also promised to check that they psychologist got my letter to advise I wanted to remain on the list (I was worried it was lost during postal strike or delayed and missed the deadline) and apparantly she hadn't bothered.
Mentioned this to my normal doctor and she chased it up and even sent me a letter to assure me I was still on the list!
Other doctor also put wrong date on my sicknote!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Tulip - I really mean it huni! You should have had lotto on tonight with the luck you have had lately as it was a triple rollover. In the family we had over 10 lines on and never even got a tenner
Miro- the only smarties that taste any different are the orange ones. Yummy. So obviously orange. My faves. The others all taste the same, but the blue ones are def the prettiest! (Even though purple is my fave colour! lol)
Ran into a couple of people from work recently though and am a bit worried that people will now be talking about me skiving as I know I don't look ill.Dream of being mortgage free....

Hi Dawney,noticed your light was on.It is strange that Tiff has not posted really hope she is ok.Try not to worry about what people from work may think.You know you are not well enough to work and it really does not matter what they think.Must check my lottery five of us have had the same fifteen lines since the lottery started,we have the odd tenner but like everyone else are waiting for the big one.0 -
I do have reasons to feel depressed at the moment to be honest, but I think its getting out of control. I really don't want to see my doctor because it'll be antidepressants, which just made me feel weird last time and the useless counsellor. Last time I saw her she told me there was nothing wrong with me, even though I was suffering from panic attacks.
I'm glad to say I'm feeling a little more in control this time and things aren't as bad as they were then, but its getting to the stage that if I don't take control then they will be.
I find that i am at the same stage as you are luv. I was on antidepressants about 6 years ago and they made me feel as high as a kite. OK it was a great feeling to be so happy and carefree, but i was so high spirited i almost lost my job. Thing is i don't want to go back on them. I have never had counselling before, not been offered it by doctor but have had few people suggest that i get some done. I'm so scared that i am wasting their time or they are going to say I'm a total nutcase. I woke this morning and have panic attack feel about me, so i made myself a nice cup of Honey & Camomile tea. Hopefully that should help to settle me down. My chest is feeling tight and i know it cause of panic attacks, but i keep thinking i going to have a heart attack. I hate feeling like this as its a time when things, especially the slightest things are really blown out of proportion. I shall try and get up soon and take my dog for his walk, that should help a lot. I need to make a doctors appointment, have been putting it off for weeks now. Have a good day everyone, will check back later.0
