Oi Melly,
I agree with WaS, you do need to take care of yourself.
Like WaS I am very concerned about your welfare. And do wish that I could do more to help you.
Please take care and have a hug,handshake or squish.
Yours

Took the computer home from work last night and have been working at home today. We have no arrangement for doing this where I work (small company, there is no such thing as "company policy" about anything), I just did it.
I knew there would be a chance I wouldn't be able to drive as a consequence of the warning on the sleeping pills, and given the problem is chronic lack of sleep the last thing I was going to do was set the alarm an hour earlier in case I needed to use public transport to get to work - that would be massively self-defeating!
Despite getting six hours uninterruped sleep (yay!), I was still drowsy and consequently forbidden to drive, so my plan B kicked into action and I've been bashing away at the work computer all morning, rather than this one. And I've just realised I've forgotten lunch!Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -

I'm the Rizzo in our relationship too!
I did the Scary Thing and ran the training course and survived it!One of the chaps thanked me for the useful info too which is nice... we'll ignore the other people there who looked bored out of their minds. It's not my fault that it's a very dry subject!
Many hugs Calley, you are lovely, you just seem to get stuck with idiots who aren't worth your time!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
Hi all,
Well I too would be firmly in the no motivation to do anything club........and very exasperated at myself for it. Have to say my little melt down last night does seem to have helped a bit - just a release I suppose.
Have had a full days lectures at Uni and am now waiting to see head tutor to find out how I went from a distinction to barely scraping through a pass on my last assignment - gulp - absolutely dreading it.
WaS - so pleased for your American friend - please send her our love and very happy thoughts for her andalso, congratulations on doing something to change the system for future students benefit - that is awesome. And chester looks fabby.
Big hugs too to melly - you are welcome to pm anytime if it might help.
Calley - you are wonderful - you are just not meeting the right ones at the moment. I bet if you put yourself on a romance ban for 6 months and focused on making friends only, chances are Mr right would show up! I did wonder if new men in you life might find your relationship with your husband hard to understand or accept at first? Here we all know the situation, but even we can tell that he is still an important part of your life.......could that be putting some men off?0 -
Birdie - so pleased you did the training course! Congrats.
If it makes you feel any better - I train regularly and there are ALWAYS bored looking people in any group - no matter how animated and fun I try to make it. Sometimes I do really fun stuff too ( well - for a training course anyway) like for scaffolding courses - I get people to make scaffolding out of straws and tape until it can hold a coke can - which I think is much more fun that looking at a diagram and being told the names of all the parts..........yet still some people can't be bothered to even attempt to join in.0 -

FB,
I do say in my profile about just chatting. And if they want to meet I do just for coffee. I have no expectations. I am just annoyed that he has been so rude . Did not even say no I changed my mind about chatting or meeting I would have said ok bye. but nothing and he is on-line I can see that.
Maybe who knows.
I might delete myself from the site and just forget about it all.

calley - I'm coming to the realisation that they are all numpties and that the house to yourself and a cat to share it with is sheer perfection
Speaking of which, I'm off home to do the pre-weekend cleaning. If anyone sees me on here in the next three hours shout at me!
Well done on the training Birdie. I've now got scary work stuff for pretty much all of next week. Gonna be some sleepless nights!0 -

I have to agree with you.
Why people need to such a-holes I don't know. He seemed keen to meet then just tailed off, So I have deleted him and wont reply if he texts or messages.
