    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Thanks bubbs. :)

    Didn't go until gone 8pm but we only use real butter. I would be in dog house if I brought back anything else. :o

    Someone kindly left me 2 packs of bacon and 1 pack of the quavers. :D

    Hope my shop works as have cut it fine and only got 9 items, usually make sure I have 10 to be safe but I picked up 2 of the same fillers. :doh:

    Hi All and TS :wave:

    I must have just missed you :(

    If I had known you were going I could have left you some anchovies :o

    I hope your shop works, I only ended up with eight items in the end :eek: since one of the items I found in the trolley just after the transaction but luckily before I left the store (as think the first transaction bag of anchovies meant I hadn't seen it)

    I must say I like real butter but was going to get some of the I can't believe its not, although they only had the healthy variety so I left it :rotfl:, got the crisps but not any bacon.

    Anyway find out my results soon :eek:

    FC I'm glad you got your hair sorted :) xx
    Thanks for your kind words

    I think it's often the silliest and most normal things that people struggle with when something goes wrong. Thats what makes it seem worse to you (and you think, to other people).

    I am by no means an expert here, but the best advice I can give you is to accept your problems for what they are, and try your very best not to let what other people think make them worse. I have found just being up front and honest works. In reality, people are more accepting than we give them credit for.
    Me......I CANNOT stand shaking people's hands, but in the work I do it's pretty much a requirement and considered quite rude if I don't. I do it sometimes, then dash off and cover my hands in anti-bacterial gel :o:o:o But other times, I use my judgement and politely tell people I have a phobia, it's nothing personal to them but I'd rather not. It's a conversation piece if nothing else :o

    You don't sound daft. If something makes you break out in a sweat, it's not irrational to you.....whatever it is.
    For me today, it was the fact that there was someone else's hairs on the seat in the hairdressers :o So not only did I look like a nutter for hacking my own hair to pieces, I wouldn't sit down until I had cleaned the chair off to my satisfaction :o:o

    I would have been like this years ago not sure how I have managed to overcome a lot of my fears. Most totally irrational.

    I think maybe running on autopilot while I was looking after my mum I didn't have time to think and some of my fears fell by the wayside without me even realising. :o

    But I still do not like buttons. And if I see one on the floor with thread still attached I feel physically sick. :eek:

    So how many did you get through in one go?:rotfl:

    I got 23 tins at the other store the other week. Not sure how many I put in last weeks goody bags but still have plenty left. ;)

    Oh no I had the last two 500g packs of bacon, had to delve deep. Reckon that might be the last as the others were all dated after. :(

    Fingers crossed for your shop too. :)

    Thanks for the help on the crisps not sure why I had it in my head the walkers were £2 too. :o

    Yes those buttons the boogers, you find them when you least expect. :eek:

    I can just about remove the thread without actually being sick, and I can actually sew one back on but I have to be in the right frame of mind, that I am the one in control. :o

    Did I say I had totally cleared it. :o :eek: Not quite I still have box of sun tan lotion to find a home for. :rotfl:And a pile of 1p Ts books. :eek:

    I really must not buy anything more for Teeny, the other grandparents won't have anything left to buy. :o
