    It's true. I often lurk on here (occasionally butting in) because it's one of the nicer threads

    Thank you for the welcome!! No doubt I shall post where I feel I am able.... I don't find opening up too easy but the honesty on this thread has just blown me away!

    As a bit of background.... The exterior.... All FINE. We know what that means. Good job, not that I particularly like but it's a job. Lovely husband, lovely family, all on doorstep.

    I'm 33 and have for around 15 years struggled with anxiety and do not do well with stress. Job very stressful which seems to come out physically in me. Which, with anxiety, diagnosed as health anxiety, is not a good combo!

    I don't know the protocol yet so forgive me if this is a penguin subject. Children. We have lost a few pregnancies this year which has had a profound effect on me emotionally. So, currently, I am having a bit of a difficult time.

    But that's everything in a nutshell!!

    Welcome, hanc. I'm so sorry for your loss. No wonder you feel down. How awful :(

    Hello han, I am so sorry to hear about the pregnancies. How are you keeping healthy? Have you been recommended any vitamin supplements or anything?

    Yey!!! Yes! I thought that! It's deffo him! Moonlighting again!

    :( they probably all just did it for the glory, though, you know, like an animal reality show!
    Either that or just got a small one-off fee with no royalties. Probably a bag of Bonios. Pugliet, that is, not the piglet or duckling. They probably got a bag of apples and some pondweed respectively.

    Hmmm. My knees are beginning to smart. About ten minutes ago I fell over, nowt serious, tripped over the vacuum hose, which I knew full well was there! Stupid me, but was scared for my wrists. Soft landing on the upstairs landing!

    Seem to have got away with it!

    Several years ago I had an osteoporosis test done, which showed I had well-above average density for my age, so am hoping that that relative density has been maintained.

    All those years without a car, walking everywhere with dog and/or with shopping bags, seems to have paid off! So, even now, although I have a car, I walk wherever I can, if feasible, plus the Zumba and other dancing, of course!


    Need to go over my lines for this Christmas Review I'm in today, so bye for now!
