    Having a train nightmare and it's really doing my head in! Trying to book a journey that I regularly make - for some reason the outbound train isn't showing as an option. If I try to book it as a single it is there, but not as a return. If I try to book two singles the website throws a fit and won't let me pick up my tickets from the right station.

    Grr!! Nothing's easy is it?!

    MSEAndrea (Hello Andrea! Thank you for always supporting our thread!) sent me some links to add to the first post written by Martin and the MSE team so do take a look when you have 5 minutes. There is some very helpful and interesting information in there and this keeps our thread nicely MSE related too!

    pyxis, I survived my trial session and am going again next week. Your post prepared me perfectly. I joined in everything (badly). The instructor was incredible.

    Yay! Really glad you enjoyed it!




    Faerie, very well done! :T And am very impressed that, despite sitting in the car and nearly bottling, you didn't! And then found you enjoyed it! :T



    Elsien, I wonder if Gitdog would prefer his commands in Portuguese? :rotfl:

    That's a point, actually. What if his previous owners weren't British, and taught him stuff in another language?

    Who knows, he could be absolutely brilliant if you gave commands in say, Mandarin! :D

    Afternoon Happy Campers,

    Hugs and squishes and handshakes to all. And extra special ones to any one who needs them.

    Well I crashed and burned. I just knew everything was going far to well. Never mind. my own fault read it completely wrong. Something that I really good at it seems.

    Mind you it has probably not helped with me being a bit sporadic taking my meds. I have missed a couple of days. And then taken it really late.

    Penguin about eating

    I am going to crawl back under the rock I came from and binge eat. Yep I know. My cards have to go back to my husband.

    Penguin end

    I just want control in my life. I have a friend who has been a very silly billy and been struggling on his own with depression. Not heard from him in a long time as that is the way it goes. And it tends to be men that retreat and don't want to talk about it. So I just let the friendship lapse. Feel a bit guilty I told him he should have called. I am man was his reply.

    Trying to get him to come and see me for a chat. We shall see.

    Right I am off to crawl back under my rock.

    Everyone take care.

    Yours

    Calley

    I know how you feel, Calley.

    I am just starting to creep up out of a horrendous month of what you said in your penguin. :(

    Picking Gitdog up from Nan, I enquire if he's been good.

    "No he bloody hasn't. He's been digging up the veg faster than I could plant it. When I told him off he ate my peas. He's been emptying the weed bag quicker than I could fill it. If he poos long green bits, that'll be my string. And I've got repetitive strain injury from throwing his blasted toy to make him leave me alone. Hes complained every time I've sat down because he wants me to play with him. He's been an attention seeking little sod"
