Popping in to shove a cork in so I win the virtual cake, and also this may comfort some:

I'm supposed to be going round to my friend's place tonight but after the last few days of work i'm feeling very unsociable. I'm really not in the mood to see people (even if they are friends) plus i have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning. I'm sure she'll understand if i explain i'm not feeling up to it, i just feel bad as she's had a rough time herself lately. That said i wasn't the only person going and other friends will be there.

Just feel like i need some alone time. But not sure how to phrase that. Part of me feels i should go as i said i would, but part of me knows its going to be difficult to be social as i just want to hibernate right now.

also advice on housemate with child. they got back at nearly 1am this morning. That's 3 times he's brought the kid back at a ridiculous time and 3 times i've been woken up the next morning by an unsettled child. I feel like i can't say anything to housemate as i'm not a parent and it may come across as me criticizing his parenting, and i don't feel i can tell my landlord as there's nothing he can really do to help.

Nothing wrong with that, MU! As you say you have had a rough time lately so it's perfectly reasonable to take a few days for yourself. Cuddle up with silly films and Hello Kitties under a duvet and rest for a while. I am sure that your friend will understand. Have a gentle hug.

Maybe if you just explain that you're not in the mood? I'm sure your friend will understand.

I've told her, and she says not to worry and we'll rearrange for another time.

And Swain has said we can just stay at his tomorrow if im still feeling the same (we usually go up to his mates for a bit)

Now to placate myself with tv and kitties.

Because I don't have enough going on the repeat prescription of OHs codeine has failed meaning a OH with codeine withdraw after his second session of CBT

Nice little comment to the lurkers there JM! It must be like a soap opera watching us gabbing on about all sorts. I hope people do feel they can join in though if they like.

Those cakes look so good Pyxis!

Melly I do think you will get somewhere with housing soon, you deserve to the amount of effort you are putting in.

I would offer hugs to MU and Dragonette, but as I don't do hugs you can have a friendly wave instead and hope you are feeling better soon.

I would join in the dress discussion, but I have no clue about dresses at all! My wedding dress was a £30 eBay purchase, so my advice would not be worth listening to!

Had a lovely catch up with my friend today, and she has said she will visit again once escapee is here. Got myself in a tizz cleaning before she arrived, which I think was made worse as I appear to be nesting too. We went out for coffee which helped a bit, rather than staying in the house.
Extreme nesting this afternoon. Painted next doors side of a fence we put up a while back, tidied the garden, mowed the lawn and moved a big pile of logs and covered them with tarpaulin ready for when bearded one has chance to cut them.
He came home to find me covered in fence paint and tree sap, rather seized up!
Been ordered to spend the evening in the bath now to try and un-seize myself.

Having a panic attack I think
Feeling of dread every bang

Oh had CBT today and has codeine withdraw
Coping not happening

Finally got a plumber and roofer to work together and very pleased to day that the roof leaks are now all fixed. Big relief as not only is the house protected again, but no more trying to gather quotes and co-ordinate workmen or having people around the house all day. Even though there were great tradespeople and very nice, it was just hard work to have people here all the time - makes me think that I am not quite ready to go back to work, certainly not full time.


I also finally decided on some masters programmes and completed and submitted two applications on Monday - my thinking being that if I get in - I will do it and if not, then I won't. Got most of the household accounts and paperwork done today too. The good thing about having the workmen in is that I have had to be up and going all the time they have been here this week, so had a reasonably productive time. Next two tasks are a) find a slightly less than full time job and b) work out an exercise programme for myself. I started this morning, doing research into exercises that you should avoid due to back issues etc. So......onwards and upwards here.
**sighs** it's 7pm on Tuesday - and if the escapee has not started on the tunnelling yet - I am not going to win virtual cake!!!!
Special {squish} for Katy - may the threadbaby escapee be as wonderful as it can be and if it gets a bit intense - think to yourself squish squish squish!
{squishes} to all
