  • Have been catching up on some diaries. One good thing for you to list was that you have been able to make another MSEr feel better by your support!

  • I just wanted to pop on and echo what has been said about you supporting other MSE'ers. You've certainly helped to pull me through some tough times. I'm so sorry that life has dealt you such a c r a p p y hand at the moment and that you just never seem to catch a break. Thinking of you, and lots of love.

    Buffy, I often lurk but didn't want to read and run when you clearly have so much going on. Much sympathy from me, and hope the tooth pain is easing off.

  • You guys are honestly my safe place, I hope you know that. Thank you so much XXX

    Work was a shocker. Was actually very proud of myself that I went in on Tuesday, I was so broken up, sat on the bed for 15 minutes having to convince myself to go to work.

    I did it. Some of my lessons were very good actually, was surprised. The kids are always a good tonic. I don't teach that many !!!!!! these days so it ok.

    Today I was exhausted. I stayed up to mark and it just ruined me. Can't do this job on three hours sleep.Came home and slept for a couple of hours.

    Needed to do more marking tonight but cannot face it. Full teaching day tomorrow and will just have to work around the marking !!!! up.

    Money wise things are ok, pretty good I think.Havent gone mental with spending (pet shop, M and S - sandwiches, not that great FYI) Once I get paid on the 26th I should be able to split my savings up and move money around current accounts to make the most of the interest malarky.

    Vet wise, Piggie needs an op, cost should be about 150. :( but I have the money and the vets are good. Fingers Crossed.

    I write all this and then watch the news. Syria.

    My God this is hell on earth. Truly, we are lucky. Eight years of war.

    we are a mess people. Poor children. Beyond comprehension.

    XXXXX

    There are so many atrocious things going on in the world Buffy we can't always do something about it, unfortunately :( At the end of the day you have to take care of you and yours. I always say if everyone bl@@dy behaved themselves the world would be a much better place - but they don't.

    Take care Buffster and stop worrying about things you can't change xx
