    Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair. Boys are gonna hate the way I seem.

    I would rather drown with you than watch the surf with someone else

    I have discussed my OU courses with my daddy, and I have not been killed. obviously, I'm doing the wrong subject, and I'm not doing it quick enough, but I can do it. So that's kinda good.
    And I received a letter this morning saying I'm entitled to financial support for my course fees. I've decided 2 courses I'm going to do, and I get another £135 for courses before September if I want it. But since my courses will keep me busy til November, I probably don't.

    Hi everyone, hope you're all ok today.

    I've been really busy again today-I'm pleased with myself because for once I'm making the most of my time off work. Last week I did a few things that usually I'd be too nervous or lazy to do and I also drove over 1000 miles! Its hard with OH still being away, but this assessment hes on now should make things more clear, like when we can get married and live together. I only had one bad day. I'm trying for no bad days this week.

    Today I did an hour in the gym, which was really hard because I forgot to eat before I left home :o I came home and cooked, had a bath, cleaned the kitchen, my car and my bedroom. Just went into town to do a mystery shop and went and opened a new bank account. I get £30 from them and half price car insurance, so it was worth it!

    Sitting here all tired now, but I have to keep going as I'm planning on going to the gym again later. :eek:

    Xx

    Good to hear hes ok with it all and I'm glad you're getting to do what you wanted to do. Bet its a weight off your mind and you're pleased. :T

    Woke up late as I tried to get an extra 5 mins that turned into 20! so I was not very organised, so much for feeling better about how I look this week. I threw on any old stuff (all be it I thought I looked ok) and the old stare thing was going on again. I am sure I am not imagining it!
    One girl was staring at my feet ! My hair was a mess and I got soaked again, no brolly (again). The girl in Boots offered a free make up with an airbrush, did I look like I needed it? I said maybe next time. I have not taken ADs since Sat morning as I think they are making me too high, it is so hard to get a balance. I hate trying to talk and either talking total nonsense or trying to speak so quickly it all muddles up, either way I seem a bit mad.
    The house looks chaotic after my weekends diy. I will try and do some tidying later.
    Hope you are all ok.
    Will try and come back on later.

    I am glad everything went ok at school and its out of the way. It seemed to be on your mind. How was the support group? I tried one in the past but everyone seemed to have much bigger probs than me and it made me feel down. I always feel I am not as "ill" as others. My psych is always saying, remember you can call in an emergency! I have said to her thats for really ill people!!! I feel funny when I am told that I am ill.
