I am home now glad its the weekend *puts her feet up* sorry thats what I feel like doing :rotfl: I went to pottery on time and we designed a mug for ourselves of what ever design we wanted,I put my name on it and designed it with flowers and hearts and painted it with Porcalaine paint and then they will be kilned next week and fired ready for us to take home next friday I also used the potters wheel again to trim off another bowl I had made before christmas I went to subway afterwards and had a lovely bagette of tuna with salad,tomato,green pepper,red onion and it was tasty as they toasted it for me so it was slightly warm

I then got some walkers lights and ate those and that was my lunch

Juno - sorry that things are hard with your Ex. Its bad the power some people have over our feelings. Is there anything you can do to prevent something like this happening again? Hope you have a better day today.

Well, he had to come over sometime. We had loads of stuff to give back. He was going to take Amy, because she's actually his bird and I've just been looking after her, but he says I can keep her. I just hope he doesn't change his mind soon.

And he wanted to stay over last night and share my bed, but I didn't want to. So I said he could either stay and sleep on the sofa, or go home. So he picked go home. But then he said he couldn't, because I said he was a rubbish driver earlier and he had to reverse his car out of the drive in the dark. So I had to do it, and I hate reversing. I hate all driving actually, and I haven't done it for years. But I managed it, then he went and I came back inside and cried.

And then he sent me a really long text message saying he wished we hadn't split up, that he loves me, and hinting that he wants to get back together. It feels like my feelings don't matter.

RBK - if you ever come to Birmingham, I'll meet you for a coffee and a bout of shopping:cool:

Low eye pressure is caused by having glaucoma (it can also cause high pressure too). At present my eyes are a tad blurry so I am tending to use the bus for work rather than the car. (Mind the bus is cheaper because I can get a daysaver ticket for £3 and parking is about £5 an hour or something silly like that):eek: This glaucoma nonsense is now a permanent thing but hey ho there's folk worse off than me.

Work is ok at the mo - I have arranged an appointment for Monday morning so I shall have to go to work in a power suit. Today has been busy, we have spent time photographing all the artwork that we have to try and sell. It is a bit of a pain though that someone has set up a blog on a website to !!!!! about the company that I am on Work Trial with - anyway I don't really care what they say as my job is fab and I don't have anyone standing over my shoulder asking me whether or not I have done something every five minutes. I was lazy today and didnt take any lunch with me so I found a place where I could have a jacket spud with my work colleagues - it was cheap too as I only have a £3 a day allowance for lunch.

I have to go to the chemist tomorrow because the stoopid pharmacist has given me a 10ml bottle of eye drops instead of 2 x 5ml bottles - I have to use a different bottle for each eye to avoid infection so one large bottle is no use whatsoever.:mad: Mind, I am meeting up with my mate tomorrow as well so if you are at the Jinney Ring Craft Centre tomorrow beware of the cackling women in the corner because it will be us:o

I am so dopey today I haven't got any food out of the freezer for dinner - so I might have to have a sandwich or some oven chips. I can't get used to having to get food out before I go to work.

Had a strange day yesterday as the bus driver was a bit funny with me on my way to work, I nearly fell over when he called me by name - I had to rack my brains to think who he was and then it dawned on me, it was the chap that I went out with when I was 18 years old:eek: I was quite mean to him really especially in the way I dumped him - we were in a pub, sitting with our drinks and I didn't like the way the conversation was going so I said that I was going to the loo - instead I went ouf of the backdoor and walked home and left him sitting there like a lemon:rotfl: I had to look at myself in the mirror when I got to work to see if I looked as bad as him - he is now fat and bald and looks about 50 when really he is only 47:eek: Thankfully, I have aged well and don't look a day over 30:D

Oh drat, just seen the time and I've missed neighbours:mad:

Hi guys!:hello:
How is everyone?
I'm so sorry I've been AWOL and for worrying you lovely peeps. Thank you so much to those who sent me a pm (I will reply guys!) and shout outs on the thread - it really brought a tear to my eye. I didn't mean to worry anyone - in fact, I thought you'd have all been glad of the break!

The truth of the matter is that I've been really quite ill with a chest infection and I was also very low.
I had a run-in with the depreshun gremlin and it hit me full on. I've seen my cpn once since Christmas Eve, my support worker who goes out with me, has been off sick since November bless her, so basically it's been me, myself and I. When I finally saw my cpn 10 days ago bless him, he diagnosed me with sleep deprivation - not insomnia - as I'd been getting 2-3 hours sleep a day and was very trembly. He also mentioned that I'd got clinical depreshun atm, as well as the reactive depreshun that I'm already friends with.
Add to this the enormous stress of trying to find DS a vocational conservatoire place for September as he finishes college in July, and Mum's 70th birthday on Monday, which she finished by having an angina attack later that night and tbh, you got one very lonely, stressed out Tiffster. See what a sorry excuse for a Tiff I was? I wasn't able to Tiff and what good's a Tiff who can't Tiff?

I felt bad too because I'd fallen behind in posting to you all. You're all going through your own issues and I wanted to be the strong Tiff you're used to and I was struggling. I didn't want to just trot out the same old Tiffy carp. You've all got such strength within yourselves and I knew everyone here would be looking out for each other wonderfully.
I was told in my pms that it's ok for Tiff to need support too and so here I am, shedding fur on the doormat and hoping that you'll still adopt me as the thread cat. I promise to post as well as I can, when I can and to share more. I was completely alone in having to deal with everything and I just couldn't seem to get on my feet, in addition to feeling so physically ill too. I have honestly never felt so alone.

But anyway - the Tiffster's back in town now (), as it were, and has some serious reading back to do!
So prepare yourselves for silly cat piccies, a ban on all things c-a-n-i-n-e and remember, you brought it all on yourselves - next time, be careful what you wish for, etc!!!
Thanks again for your kindness guys and I hope you'll bear with me while I'm getting back on my paws. And don't worry about me - I'm getting there.
Huge Tiffy hugs to you all and safe journeys today guys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
