Hope you're feeling better PH.
Sometimes a rant lets out the pent up frustration. ((hugs)) XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
I hope things are okay?If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Am I safe to send a hug, or will I be bowled over by a flurry of clearing activity?

Thanks all, you are all brilliant.
It's safe to come out as I'm calmer now.... Well a bit;). I won't go too much into it as its one of those subjects which could potentially cause chaos on here. All I will say is that I was so angry that I work my bits and bobs off, not only in a paid jobs but also working for myself while step son is bringing in 1.5 times what I do each month and has never done a job in his 24 years because....his words 'I don't see why I should have to do a boring job like other people (said in a very snooty voice)', and he has not. What makes him so effing special. Definately his mothers son.;).
Anyway after a major strop on Saturday night after he had left (I was already having a bit of a down day like you do), I decided that I'm not doing the self employed thing again, not paying any extra tax for the lazy little git. Why should I bother, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, calm now. Stupid mood moved on. I'm not going to stop improving my life because the little so and so wound me up.
BUT if his snooty a$$, know it all girlfriend looks down her nose at me once more or makes another smart mouth comment I may be away for some time if you know what I mean.
On a positive note the lady who I made the mother of the groom dress for sent me a text on Sunday with a photo and a lovely message of thanks. A HUGE relief. I spent Saturday imagining skirts dropping off, seams splitting, etc. I really can be a huge plonker at times.:o
Anyway, I'm going to get some jeans in a while. Hopefully it will be a one shop special. :rotfl:

Don't let them get to you - we don't want to be without our parsnip while you're doing time!:rotfl:
Best of luck with the jeans shopping - I recommend M&S for fit but even there I can't always find what I want. Maybe I should recommend the charity shops because I have had some lovely jeans from there!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Thank you all for your comments. You are all so supportive. :T
Firstly.......I have jeans and a jumper. :j
Secondly.....I am calmer.
Thirdly..... Don't shout......i have had to buy an overlocker. It's an essential piece of kit for professional result. Mine had broken when i did the dress and doing zigzag and trimming added a long time onto the make time. I have a number of projects coming through now so it will earn back the cost of it quite quickly. To be honest after 27 years of owning one going back to zig zag was :eek::eek::eek:
Today I have to wait in so I'm going to complete the rubbing down of the TV cabinet and do lots of cleaning. Lots and lots of cleaning. I also need to put the curtains back up an and steam them. This will get them off the stairs.
Anyway off i go. Have a good day. X1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%
