    Feeling very hormonal today so climbing into the duvet fort, comandeering the chocolate stash and joining in the group weep.

    Srsly, yuck.

    Whitewing, that's the kind of overthinking I do.

    I once had the padded part of a bra somehow fall out into a fax machine in the middle of an office. To this day I have no idea how it escaped.

    Once I was walking along one if the busiest streets in the city on my way to work wearing a skirt and boots and my hold ups started falling down. I had to make a run for my building with them sagging over the tops of my boots.

    Another time I was wearing a very supportive bra and the strap broke a few hours into my shift. I ended up improvising a hook made out of a paperclip and some staples so I didn't spend the rest of the day lopsided.

    It's not an easy thing to go through, you saw how upset and hard I found it and that was after 3 months so it's completely understandable that after so long it's hitting you even harder. You will get though it through. And we are here for you if you need us

    Firstly, (((((((((((((((((((((((((((tealover))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
    Remember what MessedUp said, cry for the hopes and dreams not to be.
    But the balm on that wound is that there will be new hopes and dreams........just hold onto that certainty.
    And the dreadful sharp sadness now is so much better than years of being constantly eroded away by a house where there's no love.
    MesseduUp didn't deserve to be a secret, and you don't deserve to be ignored, and neither of you deserve to be excluded.
    They aren't wasted years, though, Tea. Think how much you have learned in that time. No experience is wasted. Bad experiences make us strong and able to empathise with and help others, after all. :A



    Have you found a new toy ? :D
    It's what I do! Find pics and post them! :D
    I think I feel a bit better, not sure yet as I just woke up from a nap. Last night I dreamt I was writing a play for a theatre with some old friends, except they had found new friends and didn't want to know me. Why is every dream theatre related? I am puzzled...

    (In German accent) I would say that the theatre-based themes of your dreams, my dear WaS (pron. Vos), signify one of three things: firstly, the hypothesis that you know full well that, like a play, the scene being enacted in your dream is not real, it is make-believe.....secondly, that you are rehearsing your new position as Llama-whisperer, as you will be going out into the world to do new things.......thirdly, that you have switched roles with your old friends in your dreams, that is, it is not your old friends who have found new friends, it is you who has done this, new friends on this thread and even newer friends at the animal sanctuary.
    (Gets up from desk, takes off half-moon specs and turns back into Pyxis!) :D


    So........
    Thought i'd see if i could find/get a life, i've tried everywhere - eBay, Amazon, Tesco, Wilko & even Poundland but nothing doing..
    It's nearly as bad as when i missed out on some charm & wit in the Black Friday deals :rotfl:.
    Well! You've obviously got a good deal on a bulk order of sense of humour, so you ain't done too badly! :T

    It's my one & only redeeming quality. Good job really as i'd be stuffed without it :rotfl:.
    What came first, the music or the misery?
    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    Oh those attachments fell off & were lost ages ago - just like with a vacuum cleaner :p.
