I hadn't been hit by a bus but I remember ending up in hospital (with what turned out to be gallstones) and being mortified that I was wearing days-of-the-week pants and had on the wrong day
This really made my laugh! I do remember way back when my mum had been ill she fainted at home one evening and my dad called out the gp. Mum insisted on being helped up to her room to put on a "good nightdress" before returning to the floor where she had originally collapsed :rotfl:
MU I'm so glad that the gross guy has gone, yuk! I would kick off with the local GP though, do they know you have MH problems on reception? They should be making more effort to fit you in quickly. Do any of the hospitals near you have a walk in clinic? It might be worth googling.
Feeling a bit wobbly now and again, new meds aren't kicking in yet but it's only been 5 days and they take 2 weeks.
Tummy fully recovered but I've been eating loads to make up for lost time so the few lbs I lost are back on nowI keep planning on starting to walk around the block but I feel really self conscious doing it alone around here because it's suburban and no one walks unless they are jogging or have a dog, neither of which I do! Yesterday I drove to a parade of shops so I could walk around without looking odd :rotfl: I did visit the charity shops and got a book and small handbag so was good
I hope everyone has a good day x0 -
Eek! Last day at current job. I've cried twice already!

Afternoon my lovelies,
Hugs and handshakes and squishes all round. Special shout outs to WaS and Tea. And any other MIA's You are missed.
Well feeling very meh at the moment. Unhappy with myself. I am obese and really hate myself at the moment. I have wardrobe full of summer dresses that I can't really fit in. And have about 3 dresses I have never worn. And I don't want to give them away.
I think the biggest issues is the Achilles tendonitis. As its hampering my exercise at the moment. And with AM taking AC out its making me very lazy. Still not dressed or showered yet. And AM and my ex are due home in about 45 mins:eek:
I am cooking some tea and then off to see despicable me 3.
Just feel a bit adrift. No routine after what 2 years at home. Don't get me wrong I am very happy with AM just not AC's hair everywhere :rotfl:
Also from tomorrow morning until sunday evening I am on my own with AC so will have to walk him. But then it will be ice pack, pain killers and leg up on the sofa for rest of the day. Will be staying at home as no car. I do miss having a car. But then I would get even more lazy than I am now :rotfl:
Yours

Penguin hI guys, been hovering but I'm always so scared of overloading you all with my problems.. too much going on as always.. thyroid low again and I'm so shattered. Been for a pre op but feel way too ill to have the surgery soon. Been turned down for therapy from the mental health team and told I'm not allowed to talk about trauma in keyworking as they are not therapists, so I'm feeling so alone with all the mother stuff. I have to tryt and put the lid back on, which I didn't want to do.
My uncle has forbidden the law firm dealing with my mother's estate to have any contact with me, after I asked for a copy of the spanish will , which is really stressing me out.. I need a heads up when the house goes on the market, so I can look for somewhere to buy, as the money will hopefully be just enough to buy a flat, if I'm lucky, but being on benefits is a problem. They are just going to send me a cheque and it will all go on my hefty rent and social service bill.. My uncle has found a prime way to mess me over , he is so evil. I can't get any free legal advice at all. I can't tell whether there's something dodgy going on regarding her property in spain that she allegedly gave to him. It wouldn't surprise me given how crooked my family is, or whether it's just the smear campaign of hate passed down from my mum to my uncle and to the firm, who he chose, as it is a friend of his. I don't know anything. They also refused point blank for my friend's boyfriend to go back to the house and retrieve the rest of the photos that I was unable to take, because the solicitor only allowed me an hour there.
I've not had any applications for the PA/carers even though I've advertised everywhere, and my awful care agency manager is putting so much pressure on me to leave and keeps threatening to pull my care , even though I've stopped complaining of the timing of the care calls.
And my male bestie hasn't talked to me since I came back from the house after finding the books. It all sucks so badly.
I'm slipping into a really dark depression and I don't know how to see the woods for the trees.Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE0 -
Hugs to you faerie, have you spoken to your local CAB? I'd make an appointment and ask their advice. Perhaps find out if any local solicitors offer an initial free consultation re. mums estate and your uncle. Can you ring your male friend and patch it up?
Calleyw I'm in the same boat regarding clothes and weight. So many pretty things in the wardrobe I know I'd look fab in if I was 2 stone lighter :mad:0 -
aww thanks dandy
I rang CAB but they said that they couldn't give inheritance advice, which was frustrating. They just sent me some info on executor's role.

Faerie, is the house in this country. Just that houses generally end up on zoopla, rightmove etc so I was wondering if you could either set up some sort of alert or just regularly check the sites till it shows up?
Is there a Law Centre anywhere near you you could access?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
As promised, Gitdog agility. I particularly like the one where he would much prefer to run off with the big stick than jump over itAll shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Aww elsien he's lovely!
Another yoyo day: woke up low, went to a car boot sale and got some nice skirts so cheered up, DH sulked all the way home because he was going to be late for work (he's the boss so not a problem!) so low again, after he left I cheered up lol, then DS2 had a go at me because there was nothing in he fancied for lunch- told me I "wasn't doing my job properly" so I ended up in tears. DH had a word with him when he got back so I got an apology from DS2 but still left flat
I've booked two separate nights away, one on Wednesday and the other on Saturday. I've got until a couple of nights before to cancel them penalty free but I want to try and do it. DH is coming with and we are going to antique/flea markets. He has suggested staying away the entire time so I said maybe, and we can book as we go, but I don't think my nerves can handle it. Planning to take a few books and some knitting to keep myself busy!
I hope everyone is getting on ok x0
