    Hi there Diz, can you believe that its the start of another week again. Only 11 weeks until I'm going to the Christmas fayre with the girls, a nice weekend away to look forward to.

    You know who was in work today and she's on form. I was OK in work but had a little cry when I got home. I'm tired, my hormones are through the roof and I can't take the !!!!! that she's dealing out right now.

    Am going to listen to my boss give a lecture tomorrow. I'm not very interested in the topic that he's speaking on but lunch is provided and it'll take me out of the workplace for the majority of the day. J has also phoned me tonight and suggested I book Wednesday off and spend the day with him so I'm going to do that. Hopefully by Thursday my hormones would have peaked and startedto fall and I'll feel more able to deal with her :)

    Have had another good weekend. Done a mystery shop on Saturday and have got another one next Saturday so I'm really making an effort there. Stayed down J's on Saturday night. I cooked a meal, done his ironing and washing and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, so it was a bit like being at home LOL. Did watch a DVD though and we went into Cardiff shopping on Sunday so had a good time there.

    I know what you mean about being tired. I started the day in work today with a big breakfast and a can of red bull. Not good for a Monday morning. I've had quite a few late nights over the last week or so and am going to make a conscious effort to get to bed early tonight. I've got to leave the house at 7.25 tomorrow morning and am not looking forward to it at all!!!

    Oven has just binged which means DS's tea is ready. Catch you soon xxx
  • Hi GR...big hugz. Sounds like J is looking after your welfare. Ooh it all sounds so romantic. Really happy for you hun.
    Christmas, I do love it but it doesn't half creep up on us, how does it do that! Where do you go for your Christmas Fayre GR. We go into Manchester, they have a lovely outdoors one. It gets very busy though.
    I bet you were buzzing at work after a can of red bull :D Sorry to hear about you know who. Surely to betsy it can't go on much longer.
    I've got my coat on, just going to take the dog out for 10 minutes. She was neutered last wednesday and has been really snarly with DD and DS. Hoping it's due to the op.
    Have a better Tuesday.

    Good evening Diz, how was your Tuesday?

    The Christmas Fayre we visit is in WOrcester, we stay in a TRavel Inn right in the centre of the town. We go up early on the Saturday morning, look around the stalls and all meet up for an Italian in the evening. We have a few hours shopping on the SUnday then come home early evening. It's a girls only trip and we are all in our 30's so not interested in getting drunk and clubbing.

    The day started well today, went to the lecture with my boss and had a really nice meal. Got back to work about 2.30 and she was still in a mood. Have got the day off tomorrow. Not got much planned just going down to J's to help him clear out the attic. I don't think there's much I can do but I can clean up after him and make sure he has something to eat. I'm just glad not to have to go to work!!!
  • Hi GR...hope you're ok. The Christmas trip sounds lovely.
    How are things going with you. Are you still ebaying?
    Hope work has been ok and 'you know who' calmed down, though more chance of us winning the lottery I think!
    Maybe catch you later?

  • Hi guys, sorry I've not posted much lately but I'm just not feeling up to the mark. Am having a tough time between everything and have gone into hibernation. Hopefully it won't last too long and I'll be rearing to go again.xxx
  • Hope you are up to speed soon GR xx

  • OK I'm back and hopefully it's for good. Have had a sick note off the doc so I'm off work for one whole month and I've gone back on the anti-d's. IT's not something I wanted to do but I feel I must oterwise I'm going to go mad. I started the tablets on Wednesday and they take approx one week to work. They've made me really drowsy and I've been sleeping an awful lot but I'm starting to feel more positive. I don't know whether it's the tablets or whether it's the thought that I don't have to do to work for a while!!!

    It's saturday morning and I've got tons of stuff to do so I'm going to make a list in true KP fashion and tick off as I go along. SO here goes:

    Wash dishes
    Wash clothes
    Peg clothes out on clothesline
    Clean kitchen
    Clean bathroom
    Get meat for lunch tomorrow
    Post off 2 e-bay parcels
    Clean dining room
    Clean living room
    Catch up on ironing
    Pop to Asdas

    The list is quite large and as I'm staying down J's tonight I need to have a little sleep somewhere in between all that. At least the sun is shining and that always fills me with energy and optimism so here goes, catch you all later x
  • I find just admitting that I need help with anti ds for a while helps even before starting them seems to help my mood. Its better than trying to talk yourself out of it ie I am fine Im doing ok I dont need help whilst stressing out at the slightest thing. Having time away from the wtch has also got to help alot. Just look back at posts to see how much she was affecting your life.

    Hope you have a productive day my aim is to clean the bathroom and maybe my desk/dressing table. A good hoover might help as well. Also need to go to Tesco for bits including the dreaded flea stuff.

    Thank you for your support on my thread. I do need to offload about things especially OH. The problems dont really go away its just if/when I let them get to me. I try the ostrich approach alot of the time.

  • We are allostriches to some extent, that's why we are all on here, we've all buried our heads in the sand about money. I tend to bury my head in the sand regarding anything that I dont want to face.

    I've had a really productive morning. I'm beginning to wonder whether my new anti d's are amphetamine based :) I've even washed the kitchen and bathroom floor, and by washing I mean got down on my hands and knees !!!
