Haven't seen it. Well have been taking my ad's for almost 3 weeks, and I'm just starting to feel a little bit better. Have been really bad the past few weeks..crying constantly, not able to sleep, not able to concentrate at work etc. Just feels such a relief to have a day without crying.
Wish you were feeling a bit better. Are you still having your guitar lessons?

i've been taking my ad's so long now, have tried different ones in past but some of side effects were so bad.
glad you are feeling the effects of taking yours now. i feel stupid crying over the silliest thing, i seem to get upset far too easily.
going to start the guitar lessons again in two weeks, my teacher has gone away on his holidays. cant remember what i've learned so its like starting again lol, no concentration

Hi guys!:hello:
OK - WHO BROKE T'INTERNET?!!!

I hope all is well with you and yours, guys.

And...yes - it's another Monday - hurrah!
Good luck and Tiffy hugs , to everyone with appointments, assessments, counselling, tests, meetings, studying, anyone who's struggling right now, or worried about loved ones and anyone who's poorly...oh and anyone who's got WORK to go to. And for all those finding it hard to face getting up for work - and meant especially for sazzy! -







Tiffbits - so many I want to mention, but just for now...

Loud Tiffy caterwaulings going out to the very quiet gem, elona, ilgd, flis, judders, chellysays, jen.eng, limana, spike...et al - hoping all is well and that you'll just pop by and say hi if you can.

And welcome home katie! Thanks for sharing those lovely photos hunnie - rose would be proud of you. It was really nice to see your photo katie. I agree with sazzy (well, there's always a first time!) - as well as our little ray of sunshine, there's definately a good helping of minx in there too! I'll be keeping my eye on you, young lady.

ethel sweetie - I'm so glad that your group meeting was a positive experience for you hunnie - you seem to have received a real boost from it! I was only joking about our little Scottish friend and the essay...so that's why he's gone awol!
Gosh we've been through some pages together, haven't we gal?! I know how hard these last couple of years especially, have been for you ethel, and the fact that you have persevered and fought so hard, having to make really tough choices will hopefully now bring you your much-deserved rewards. Of course you can have my number angel - it's 02 - oops, nearly got me there! I'll get in touch with you re. contact. Look after yourself sweetheart.


horace - I feel bad that you're one of the souls I've neglected since you've joined, so apologies for that angel. It's purely been things going on in Tiffworld recently that have stopped my usual amount of tiffing. With a chemist who has an attitude like that hunnie, I'd be looking for another one if I were you. Whilst it's true that they do have some leeway when filling a prescription, like substituting a generic brand for a more expensive brand for example, they should still be aware of what the warning info says and adhere to it. I've been down into the Tiff archives and depending how strongly you feel about their treatment of you, you might find this link helpful...

As with any profession, there are rules and practices to follow and there is nothing wrong in questioning any professional about any doubts we may have. Always better to be safe than sorry - and they're human just like the rest of us, so mistakes are not impossible. Please always check the warning leaflets and the instructions on the bottles guys - even if it's a long term repeat prescription. Hope this helps angel.


meyore - morning hun. I have to say I agree with horace on the subject of tattoos and piercings - I know, I'm an old fuddy-duddy Tiffster. If you do have it done hunnie, check out a couple of places first - look for how clean they are, watch them at work as it were - are they wearing gloves, using disinfectant, etc? If you see someone who's got a tattoo that you think has been done really well, ask them where they had it done - get a few opinions...but not from the local prison inmates though!
Be careful too as to the choice of tattoo angel - there's nothing worse than say, having The Lord's Prayer tattooed on you at 21, and then having to lift the rolls of flesh in order to be able to read it all at 51! *apologies to those eating brekkie right now.*In fact, my very own DS is making noises about having one done. I told him my feelings on the subject due to knowing people who've had bad experiences and I said the only tattoo I'd approve would be a drawing of a label with ''Made By Mom'' inside and tattooed onto his butt! As for the hair colour hun, if you prefer it blonde (good choice!), why not have some streaks of colour/highlights put in?
There's no rush hunnie, so take your time in deciding.


antronella - good to hear from you angel. How's everything with you hunnie? I'm afraid I'm guilty of lack of Tiffing myself. Don't be afraid to shout out if you're struggling sweetie, ok? Thinking of you.


qb - .....''''.....''The return of blue smarties:j :j :j :j ''?!!!
Hoping all is well qb.

Just a little something for all you w-a-g-g-i-e thing lovers to think about...




And finally...

Lightbulbs & Mice
How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb?


Two, if they're small enough!

Safe journeys and happy days, my friends.
Much Love,

Wow Tiff, you are up early!

Thought I'd mention a few other bits from my trip so far. I flew economy class and was in a very crowded plane for 11 hours. I've been out on my own today. Out on my own in a forgien country, in a non tourist town. No one at the bank spoke English. A lot of people keep looking at me in an odd way. Since I got here, I've not seen any other English people (apart from Hubby). Only 7,000 people out of 1,000,000 aren't Korean. And best of all, no panic attacks. I cannot believe the change in my life. 12 months ago I could barely leave the house.

Blimey Tiff - can't you sleep? I have found another pharmacist - in the same road again a Lloyds but this one has only recently become a Lloyds after being an independent for so long.

I am waiting for the jobcentre to open as I need to ask them to send a continuance letter for my housing benefit which has been stopped. I also have to go into work (I use the term loosely) for a meeting at 10am (hope they say on yer bike and even if they don't I go anyway).
