Was it at least stuff you needed welly or was it like drunk ebaying where you buy random stuff?

Melly she's so cute. Swap her for a stroppy DA dog?

I'll have all the dogs! And bunnies, kitties and heffalumps!

It was a harness for carrying Escapette. Hubby has bought one too, and we already have one so no idea why I thought we needed a third, quite expensive one!

Made a vegetable stew this evening, it tastes awful. No idea what I've done to it but it smells funny too.

Escapettes bib got stuck in the door of the washing machine and I didn't notice when I closed it so now we have a flooded kitchen.

In other, better news though, took Little Sod a walk round the river gardens earlier, which we never usually do due to the presence of ducks, swans and other dogs. He was surprisingly well behaved though, which makes me feel guilty for doubting him in the first place! He even gave a little dog a sniff without jumping ten foot in the air first.

Oh !!!!!! am so annoyed with myself! I'm a grown woman, I've coped fine with relationships ending for the past 20yrs or so. But I can't get a grip at the moment, it's like I'm always on the edge of a panic attack. There are so many actual problems going on and all I can do is bore myself and everyone else rigid with how much I miss possibly the world's worst boyfriend. I'm also very aware of the irony that FOH probably feels similar and yet I'm punishing him for that. We're both upset and confused, but somehow I'm getting sympathy and he's getting a criminal record.

I want the knockout drugs!

Tea,

Please be kind to yourself. If he had given you the time then you might at least have been able to talk to him and explain why it had to end.

You are grieving for what could have been. I get it totally.

Don't feel guilty. Is there anyone you can talk to this evening just to take your mind off of it. Could you call the Samaritans they are there for emotional support. there number is 116 123.

I used they a week or so ago. And it made me feel much better. I even donated £5 to them as I was so grateful to talk to someone.

Massive hugs to Tea, Melly, Was and everyone else who needs them.

I hope everyone gets a good nights sleep that includes me as for the last two nights my lodger has come in 4.30am and 2.00am. Even though he is not being really noisy. I wake up just before he puts the key in the lock!!! So as you can imagine not very impressed at the moment.

Go to have to get some ear plugs.

Yours

Calley

Pyx - welcome home!


Tea -{{squish}} - what a lovely person you are to be able to remember some good things and good times, despite everything that went wrong. To me, that just shows the depth of your loving and caring personality and is a reflection of your positive nature.




I quite enjoy playing "assistant" when OH is playing computer games - telling him where he has already been and where to go next etc. Just remembered that I got the new tomb raider a good while ago - I shall make the effort to open it and play it at some point this week - maybe that will help my brain relax - am so struggling with turning my brain off at the moment - like everyone else I think - I'd like some of WaS's magic drugs............just one day off from being me would be lovely............

Evening all, and mcsquishes! We have just been to a late Burns party! Great fun and wonderful food - they managed to track down some wild haggis!

Must go to bed now, though............xxxx

Don't be fooled Code she's a despot and also a bit of a thug, out of my two, my boys much calmer and nicer when out Princess warns everyone (apart from the chosen few) off, has been known to bite old ladies (I did tell her not too touch and got Froo away before she connected).

All started up again 20 mins ago so currently have his car alarm going off and the little darling jumping off something

Back to being smeared (I smell wrong apparently) might try and bath boo tomorrow

Here is the regular repost....

........:starmod:......................................................................:starmod:.....................
Here is the suggested THREAD ETIQUETTE. By following this etiquette, all posters, whether new or existing, will feel safe, unpressured and respected..

!!!But first...............please be assured..................................................................******It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. (See below about penguins). In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.******


- This is a thread for support. We have discovered some good friends on here, but we promise always to welcome and include new people, and not to be cliquey.

- People may make suggestions to help each other, and might even ask if the suggestions were helpful or have been carried out, but we'll really try not to nag each other or put too much pressure on.

- The normal board rules about sexism, racism, homophobia etc. apply, but if we are careful we should be able to discuss almost anything without breaching board rules - so far we have discussed subjects ranging from child abuse to incontinence!

-If someone thinks that too much pressure is being applied, they can post the trigger word PENGUIN and flag up the fact that they believe there's a potential for someone feeling too nagged to do something. ANYONE could post PENGUIN if they felt there was a danger that suggestions were being enforced too much.

Similarly, if they want to discuss something that might be a trigger for some people, then posting PENGUIN would be a warning that what follows in the whiteout might be a trigger.


- So, if you think something might be a PENGUIN, please post something like the green bit which follows.

"Possible penguin about.........(type of trigger)" The trigger might be:- child abuse, marital abuse/violence, paranoia, stalkers, death, etc.

Then, when you post, repost the word PENGUIN above the discussion. Then post the penguiny bit in white! And the phrase END OF PENGUIN when you have finished.

It will look like this. You will be able to see the white text if you highlight it or if you quote it, (so please don't 'quote' a post containing a penguin onto the thread!)
(Harmless example follows here):-
PENGUIN

This is a penguin. A nasty, crotch biting penguin (CBP).
It isn't really! So you can look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozGTv0hxhpc[/url]


END OF PENGUIN

(NB on a tenth-page repost of the etiquette, you can see these penguiny words because they are white against the green 'quote' background. On a normal post, they will be white against white, and so won't be seen on the thread.)

IMPORTANT: It has been ascertained that some posters to this thread have found that there are certain subjects which act as triggers, precipitating a worsening of their condition.
To protect these posters, you are respectfully requested NOT to discuss these subjects on this thread:-

Religion. (Please note: it is recognised that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and we respect those beliefs. It is only because of the fact that religion does act as a trigger for some posters, that we exclude it from discussion.)
N.B. Please don't even mention the name of the religion.

The afterlife. The reason for this is explained in this thread by one poster, and there will be others for whom this is a trigger.

We ask and thank you for your co-operation in this matter.


.........:starmod:.....................................................................:starmod:................

!!!So, to reiterate..............******It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.******

- More suggestions please.............We stress that we are suggesting that we AGREE some Thread Etiquette to HELP people who might feel anxious about posting, we are not trying to IMPOSE rules, just relating this to facilitating groups, so that people feel safe and able to participate as fully as they can.
