Starting over...

Sounding very positive
Wishing you all the very best

Aww thank you both! I will of course let you know

Since I've moved back I've had couple of things flare up due to my increasing stress levels - my jaw 'crunched' in October and has been manageable but not quite right since, and now it's gradually losing range of motion; and I'm now on my second migraine of the week. My medication is good, but before the breakup I suffered one every 8 weeks or so so they've increased pretty drastically. I'm really not coping very well with living with my Mum, I find it impossible to relax here, and while she's trying her best to not disturb me in the night, between her, the dog and the shouting outside I'm woken every couple of hours. I'm seeing the doctor on 5th February but I think I have to go to the emergency dentist to get help with the jaw.

To do today:

- Buy toiletries and random stuff on the list
- Three loads of laundry
- See aunty for lunch
- Cancel Irish toll account
- Look into whether I had any PPI
- Hoover bedroom
- Start looking for a therapist

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, I've had a great few days but my emotions are all over the shop at the moment...

just stopping by to give you a virtual hug and hoping that things improve for you very quickly xx

Thank you so much Meena, I really appreciate it!

Feeling a bit more positive today, despite not getting half my list done yesterday. I've had a lovely family day - cousin and her daughter in the morning, and I was stuffed like a goose by my grandmother this afternoon!

I emailed my interview contact yesterday to thank him for the opportunity etc, and I got an unexpected reply this morning saying it was great to meet me and he's looking forward to chatting to me on Monday - I really hope that's a good sign!

Only plans for this evening are to walk Mum's dog, have leftover stew for dinner and make a plan of attack for next week. Feeling determined again!

To do next week:

- Sort postal order and send off tax and registration form for car
- Buy and send off birthday card for my aunty
- Cancel Irish toll account
- Find therapist
- Blitz flat one room at a time
- Go to emergency dentist for jaw
- Keep on top of finances
- Contact nursing homes in database for work
- See friends in Southampton
- See friends in Liverpool
- Get website sorted and launch it on social media
- Work out twice
- Get numbers and sort out what I need to order for baby shower I'm organising

I find out about the job tomorrow and I'm not thinking about it even a little bit... :eek::eek::eek:

Just checking in, sounds like you have had a couple of ups and downs since you got back. Good luck on the job tomorrow, I hope it all works out for the best and good to hear that you had such a lovely date, I need to get myself back out there but I'm so completely not ready to move on yet.

Like the sound of your list, keeping very busy and lots of travelling and getting out and about to see friends.

ladymay

Thanks DFD, bit of an emotional rollercoaster for sure but at least I'm not bored :rotfl:

It's been a really lovely day of catching up with friends, followed by a long walk with the dog. And I'm already in my pyjamas fingers crossed for an early night and a full 7/8 hours.

I'll let you all know when I hear tomorrow... xx

ladymay

I GOT THE JOB!!!

:j:j:j

They've asked me to confirm by email today or tomorrow and to ask any questions - I think they mean "we expect you to have questions", so I have to have a think this evening.

Now the planning begins!

Woooo hoooooo congratulations.

You could always say something like.
'I've got no questions currently, you explained things so well at the interview, but if questions arise as I'm going through the contracts, handbooks and other paperwork, I'll let you know'

UncannyScot

Oh You Dancer!
Well done
