    Very cold georgie! Took me ages to scrape the car, it just wouldn't shift!

    I appear to have given up sleep for lent... gonna be a loooong, caffeine-filled day. Did manage about an hours sleep, during which I had two freaky dreams.

    Dream penguin, kind of mentions violence.
    Dreamt I woke up to find FOH holding my hand. Asked him how he got in the house and he said he'd had keys ever since I changed the locks. He also had a huge knife. Nothing too complicated about that dream!

    Also dreamt that I spent 14yrs under house arrest at a university for being Jewish - no idea where that one came from!!)

  • I always find dream analysis really interesting, so I googled your first one, and OMG, it is so accurate to what you are going through right now http://www.dreambible.com/search.php?q=Knife

    That's something at least melly. I very much agree with the woman that you're being treated appallingly but at least there is help out there somewhere, although it makes me mad as hell that you have to jump through so many hoops to access it! Would love it if some of the people who bang on about easy access to benefits etc had to go through half of this - all while looking for work as well. Big hugs poppet x.

    Am doing....er..... ok?! I don't know tbh. I'm at work, I'm dressed, I'm codeined to the eyeballs. Police baby is working till 4pm today and promised me an update of one sort or another before he left (either that he's arrested FOH or that he hasn't been able to today). He's also said he's then working 7am to 7pm for the rest of the week so he's confident he'll be able to get hold of FOH at some point in that time.

    Am still feeling very uneasy about things going this far. When I actually speak to the police it seems reasonable, but the next minute it seems utterly ridiculous. It's just so final. There really will be no coming back from this. But then at the same time I can see that there's no coming back anyway as things were completely broken anyway. And so the mad circle in my brain continues....

    I've just contacted a counsellor and am hopefully having an initial assessment sometime this week. This has clearly gone beyond what my brain can deal with.

    Well done on contacting a counsellor, tea. I hope it helps alleviate the brain ache.

    Morning all.

    Melly - I'm glad you seem to be getting somewhere, even if it's been very difficult and slow-going to get anything. Hopefully things improve.

    Tea - good luck with the counsellor. I think it'll be really good for you to have someone who can hopefully unscramble your thoughts a bit.

    Code - I hope the lurgy's dying down a bit in your house.

    Code,

    You don't have to do this, but if you pm me, I would be delighted to put a birthday card in the post to you today from us all. (Just ignore this post if you don't want to - no need to provide an explanation).

    Tea great news about a councillor they should help you make sense of your feelings.

    It's the complete loss of any form of dignity I have to beg for food effectively at least she was lovely this morning. I told her it's got to go to mandatory reconsideration and by the time that's done I will be dead probably.
