morning all, hope your all well and getting over your colds.
thanks everyone for their kind words, hugs and support. in a way i'm glad it happened last night and not next week, so i can put it all in my bad year that was 2007 and hopefully 2008 will be better, even if that just means me and the boys, leaving my mobile turned off today dont want to read his texts or talk to him, hopefully he will get the message eventually.
antronella, i've just been on to the amazon site and ordered that book that you recommended, was only £1.95 postage was £2.75, still its cheaper than buyin from the shops.
have a nice day with your friends katie.
thanks everyone for allowing me to post freely on here when i've been feeling my worst, it really does help.
hope everyone has a good day, i'm off to give my sons a treat, of allowing them into the kitchen lol, they love cooking, but should see mess afterwards:eek:
big hugs to all those that need one, or want one

have been soooo ill lately, exactly same as steph!!!never felt so ill.been trying to get some sleep on sofa for 3 nites, but just when i am about to fall asleep, my throat keeps making weird noises and waking me up, think its all the stuff on my chest.keep using the asthma inhaler and panicing cos i cant breathe....such an awful feeling when you cant seem to get a deep breath.the slighest exercion gets me so breathless and havent had hardly anything to eat cos have no appetite or feel sick.

hi ilgd, sorry to hear your so ill, there is so much of it going around, think i'm staying in with the doors locked so i dont catch it
feeling bit brighter this morn, hope it continues, usually evenings are the worst, but i'm taking it hour by hour and going to keep busy doing activities with my kids, when i get myself away from the computer that is.
does anybody else just log on then seem to keep reading different threads, then before you know it you've spent an hour or more on this site?
get plenty rest ilgd and try and drink some fluids even tho you dont feel like eating
big hugs

Hi everyone! Well I am trying to stop smoking..as of 10a.m today :eek: :eek:

I have to do it..apart from my health..I just can't afford it now I'm on my own. So my plan is to save the money I've been spending so I will have at least something for my future. I know its going to be hard cos I've done it before (gave up for 5 years and was stupid starting again, thought it would help me cope with a load of stress I was going through) This time I've been smoking for 5 years, but in total its..over 20yrs...and I really want one NOW!!

Glad you got that book Shaz, hope you find it helpful.The majority of it's written by a psychotherapist. I don't much like Paul Mckenna...but he suggests some techniques that I have found actually help..The lovely thing about being part of this forum, is that everyone here can relate to other people's experiences and can understand a little of what others are going through. I wish I had found it in July when I first left my husband and moved into the flat. i was literally in despair and felt I had nowhere to turn. So its good to be able to help anyone else I can now i'm feeling a little more positive. Hope the cooking goes well and isn't too messy!!

Katy, have a lovely afternoon with your friend x

ILGD..so sorry you're still feeling so bad, hope it'll start lifting soon.x

Steph, glad you feel a little better today, even a tiny bit means its on its way out (and about time too!) x

trying to be strong and stop crying over him, i know he isnt worth it. he rang me tonight we had a polite chat about the kids, then asked if i wanted some company, stupidly feelin lonely said yeah, and he replies, i'll bring some spare clothes and stay over for old times sake, should have said no outright, but i'm so lonely and miss his company. anyway i add if you sleeping over its on sofa, to which he replies, whats point if we not gonna have s*x. told him we'd have to sort our problems first, and see how it goes. i was so ready to give him another chance, but he went into a rage, because i didnt want to sleep with him, told me no wonder my kids are mental with me as a parent. told me i'd never find anyone as good as him to take me on. crying my eyes out, feel so hurt, so used, and so stupid, you gave me advice and i did listen but didnt respond to it.
i am so stupid i deserve all i get, sorry for long post. dont feel like living any more really i dont. i think my kids be better off with out me in the long run. only this afternoon daniel has had a major tantrum, and said he hated me and called me a f***ing b**ch
had enough
sorry

He sounds like a total w**ker.
You deserve so much better and I bet you find it.

I'm back.
My family are trying to fatten me up. I have eaten 2 boxes of liqueurs and 2 bars of chocolate. Just 2 more huge bars to go-and 3 bottles of beer.

There are so many newbies it's getting hard to keep track. Welcome to you all. I am not a religious person but I do believe that MSE holds all the secrets to life. I hope it provides the answers you need xxx

I agreed to go out on new year eve. I said quiet pub. They have booked a £15 disco. And although I can stay the night, my friend has made it clear that I am wanted out in morning coz she wants to be with her b/f. So I now am feeling like I'd rather not drink and not stay. So I am faced with a bloody disco while sober......wish I cud get out of it, but I'm trapped.
Hmmmm

Have fun in the kitchen I am off there right now to make more mince pies and some cookies! (well me and my mini me's)

Tak care

Hi to Everyone, & a few catch-up questions in no particular order & I hope you know who I'm asking cuz I don't--CAN'T--do names:D

Someone was getting a new bed for a son.....did it arrive & have you managed to get it set up? I've been indulging in the DIY SOS repeats on Sky cuz I just :heart2: the banter between the crew, but they make it all look so simple:o My dad came from the West Country & we had many holidays down there, so perhaps it's the accents I'm drawn to....but I wouldn't kick Mr Knowles out of bed for a bag of chips

To those with the lurgy; I was told to alternate paracetamol with asprin, for pain relief---something about helping to reduce temperature & help muscle pain I've also got a thing from either Betterware or Kleeneeze....looks a bit like a baby's feeding cup but it's got a face mask on the top. You put hot water & something like menthol or eucalyptus oil in it & then you can inhale the steam as you watch tv. It's a bit more comfortable than sticking your head under a towel,:rolleyes: particularly if you've to keep an eye on little ones running around.

I foolishly accepted an invite for NYE...seemed like a good idea at the time:o ...but think I may have "contracted the lurgy";) Trouble is that I much prefer the sanctuary of my own home, where I can slob out & sleep when I'm ready.....I've got out of the habit of going out I suppose, & now it all seems like too much effort for something I would rather not attend in the first place....if you see what I mean.....

Well the offspring are ready to sacrifice one of their own in a bid to stave off the hunger that has been enforced upon them:rotfl: :rotfl: Anyone would think the cupboards resemble Ma Hubbards rather than Mr T's...perhaps I'll get them all a tin opener next christmas:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hope you keep warm & dry, & I wish you Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx
