    No need to apologise, you glad to hear that you are okay. I know what you mean about not wanting to talk sometimes - sometimes it just hard to find the words isn't it? You take care too xx

    Am really disappointed with my mark that I got - went to the shops and bought lots of junk food which I've now eaten, and feel even worse. Its like, I try so hard, but its never good enough. Ever.

    Slowlyfading, I don't think theres anything I can say to make you feel better, sorry. I can relate to how you feel though, I've spent the afternoon looking at things that really upset me. Why do I do it? All it does is make me feel bad about myself, but can I stop? Of course not.

    Hi to Feeling Good and everyone too numerous to mention.

    M&S food isnt too bad, my freezer is full of pies (shepherds, cottage, game), I have two fruit pies (one half eaten now) I had two quiches but ate one and half a one left. I buy stuff on BOGOF or buy one get one half price. Don't normally buy it but with 20% off I couldn't resist:D

    Feeling tired today and cold, I have been out most of the day looking at office space, my first building Baskerville House in Brum was fantastic, my next visit was to a small office in Granville Street and it was the pits. I met up with a colleague and visited another office in Temple Row which was almost as good as Baskerville House, there was another office in Blucher Street which was pretty skanky - the reception stunk to high heaven of onions and the rest of the building had other nasty niffs:eek: My colleague wanted the loo and was directed to a men's loo trouble is, I followed him in thinking that it was a route to an office:o Well, how was I to know there wasn't a sign on the door.:eek: We then went back to Temple Row to see yet more offices but these too had a nasty niff about them.

    I came home as I couldn't see anything else plus I was starving and cold. I didnt have my lunch until 3.30pm and only had a biscuit for breakfast and a fox's glacier fruit that I pinched in Baskerville House. I have spent most of the afternoon on the phone and the internet trying to book viewings for tomorrow. I am still hungry but dont want to do what I did last night which was eat late (biscuits, a tiny roast dinner and some grapes) followed by the 9pm munchies so I cooked up some oven chips and then one mouthful and I didnt want to eat anymore:mad: Must try and eat better today but probably wont.

    Well, I am off for a bit of me time now - am going to watch neighbours and sort out a well-needed cup of coffee.

    Cyas all later.

  • Hi all ive just finished working ive had one hell of a night went to a customers house to collect the ironing he has a massive boxer dog its huge, i asked him if it bites before i stroked it he said no its harmless so i went to give it a stroke and it went to bite me so he got hold of it so i went to stroke it again and it bit me!! its only just broke the skin and im bleeding slightly its not big enough to call the police or go to hospital but im scared because he has a young daughter about 7-8 and the size of this dog would easily kill her even i was scared of it!

    what should i do?

    Hi all
    Met my friend for lunch and we talked lifes problems out and compared how we have struggled on with our lots for 20 years with no real change(and none in sight). We also talked about psychiatrists and how hard it is to tell them "everything" and to admit what you are really like and the things you actually do. We discussed the question " do you get suicidal thoughts?" and how you would not admit to it if you did in most cases. She told me about a woman she knew of, a teacher with 2 young kids, on her own, who was signed off her work for depression and who was found dead (hanging) in the garage. I said my daughter was the one thing that stopped me thinking that way in the past, I could not leave her without me. I feel really sad thinking about how that woman must have felt, that things were so bad she saw no other way out. Not a jolly note to you friends, sorry. Also had a very bad hair day and tried to sort it with the hand dryer and a brush in the loo at work but it made it worse. Felt quite high at work and that is not good as I try to speak so fast and I am excited and exuberant then the words get all muddled and mixed up and I sound and come out wrong like I am on something or drunk. I also talk a lot of rubbish and say things like "Just ignore me I'm mad!!" I hope tomorrow I can get my look and hair right and be more composed.
    Anyway, going to watch some telly and have a cheesecake.
