Can I Fix This?

She really is fabulous but she is probably the only person in the world who just does not see how amazing and wonderful she truly is and thinks that she is just ordinary. She has always looked totally bemused and at times horrified whenever from when I was a small child I have told her that I wanted to grow up to be just like her. Though I am still young and have time left. :rotfl:

hun are you turning out just like her! we all makes mistakes, its admitting them and trying to deal with them is the hard part and you have grabbed the bull by the horns with both hands, you've have done the hardest thing now you are on the up, its not going to be easy but it is sure going to be worth it......

I can quite well imagine that your sis is proud of you too

Thank you I think that that is probably the kindest although most probably also the most totally undeserved thing that anybody has ever said to me.

Good luck with the car boot sale! Wish I had read this earlier I am a size 12!!!! and I am desperate for some new clothes, I would have bought some off you before you got to the sale!

If you are not good at these kind of things (I'm not) then do what I do,

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!

Good luck, waiting to hear how well you have done

Ciarasdreams, if you don't sell all the boots and shoes at the car-boot, you should think about selling them on eBay.

There's a thriving business for well worn shoes/boots, especially if they are marked with the shape of the toes on the sole apparently

I saw auctions on there where shoes you would only see as fit for the bin, which sold for as much as £20+...........unbelievable, but great for anyone who needs to raise a bit of cash.

The car boot sale was a total nightmare as far as I am concerned and I found it totally terrifying trying to persuade complete strangers to give me their money in exchange for our unwanted stuff. We did very well though despite me clearly not being cut out for a career in sales because as usual my sister seemed to develop an apparently natural flair for it very quickly as did her husband and they managed to flirt and charm their way to selling almost everything.

I have had a really busy morning and I think that I might have to go to bed and rest for a while to recover. I was dragged along to my local GP's by my sister who had unknown to me phoned them on friday and arranged an emergency appointment for me so after filling in a lot of paperwork I got to see one of them and he was lovely to me and signed me off of work for two weeks beginning last thursday and even gave me a certificate for each of my employers. The doctor was very nice and told me that I was doing too much and that it is not good for my health and that I have to cut down on the hours that I am working or I will do myself some permanent damage and even although he recorded his official diagnosis as being stress related he wrote that I was suffering from flu on both of the certificates which he did on my sisters insistence although I am really not sure why she wanted him to do this but he did it anyway. I am now going to count the takings from the sale yesterday because I have not done that yet because my sister seemed to think that going to build sand castles on a beach and eating ice cream and then having dinner in a pub afterwards was a much better way to spend a Sunday afternoon and evening in October.

Thank you Ellidee the hug is much appreciated because I have not had very many of them lately despite a few disasterous dates apart from from my sister that is when I was crying my eyes out but I will not count those. They are both brilliant and even although things are still a bit tense with my brother in law I do not think that he is brave enough to appear anything less than supre friendly and supportive in front of my older sister. I think I will be very well cared for in fact maybe even a bit too well cared for because I have been invited to stay at my sisters for a few days and even although it was an invitation it was given to me in such a way that I know that saying yes is the only real option that I have by way of a response. I am a bit worried about how losing two weeks worth of pub wages is going to effect my budget for this month though.
