    :hello: Everyone,


    Hope you are all ok :) I am fine,I have had a busy morning this morning,got my newspaper the Sun with 2 free lightbulbs in a box :) I went to buy a chocolate muffin to eat after lunch which was nice :) I went to a restaurant and had a small mug of coffee and chatted to friends from my church :) I saw my dad as he had come to my flat but I had noticed him going to it and caught him as he went to get his newspaper as I quickly left the restaurant and had a quick chat then went inside again to finish off the coffee :)

    After that I went to a centre to sing some songs as they were looking for more people to join a choir :) I managed the songs well I thought and I had a free cake and cup of tea :) had lunch and the muffin when I got back :)

    Had a nice bath later on and then I had a sleep for a couple of hours as I felt so tired as I have a lot on in the week and when its the weekend I need to catch up on my sleep :)

    tonight I will be watching Casualty :)


    :hello: Tiff, glad you are ok :) remember you need support too as well as you are supporting us ok :)


    *hugs* to everyone


    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    Hi Katie:hello: You do lead a busy life no wonder you need a nap some days lol.I got the free lightbulbs too,i love to get all the bargains and read the other boards so i do not miss out.I will be watching casualty myself,apart from that eastenders and corry are about the only things i watch on the tv.I miss corry a lot as i work till 8 and they have stopped doing the omnibus on a sunday.I did watch it last night though as i finish at 7 on Fridays It was so sad i think some of the acting is brilliant and "Jack" did really well.
  • Hi to everyone. So nice to hear from Tiff, but sorry you have been having such a bad time of it. It's hard enough to cope with depression when life has no real problems..but when you throw in a chest infection and stress with family problems as well..it can all become too much to cope with. Also your lack of sleep must be contributing to your mood. I know what it's like to try and survive on a very few hours sleep and it just brings you down even more.

    Tiff, I hope you manage to get more support for you over the coming weeks..sounds like you need it. It's horrible feeling alone with all your problems. My mum is 84 and in poor health,, but I'm lucky to have my sister to share her care with and also the pressure that having her so dependent brings. Hopefully your mum is more independent than mine, but you still feel responsible for parents welfare. Anyway , I hope life begins to pick up for you very soon x

    Argh, I need a gripe!!

    My mum and I have always bent over backwards to help other people. A couple of those who live close by, we have done a tremendous amount for them from helping them through grief, helping them move, looking out for them etc. Now we are in a position were Mum is current housebound for a while and as they know I don't drive/get about on my own from the panic attacks. Not once has one of them offered to help. Not so much as,'can I pop you a pint of milk round'. As it is I am relying on home deliveries but could do with getting to the bank/post office. May ask a neighbour to help out but one side are very busy of late and the other side have already popped to the chemists for me once.

    Oooh moan, moan but I'm having one of those days where I think some people are just born takers!!:mad:

    Gripe over, you can all come out now!

    Tiff, I haven't met you before but see you are a fellow cat person :T

    Great to see you back Tiff. It is understandable, January isn't an easy month emotionally and if anything else happens, it can make anything else worse.

    I feel so tired today, don't know what to do next with our life and now only 72 days to get out. Still it will be spring and hopefully have a nicer place to live - it isn't that great here.
