    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Thank you :)

    My anxiety is on a real over drive about just stuff in general. Things are real tight! I feel bad for putting extra on the electric taking from the 'food' budget :o but in turn we can't sit with no electric either.

    Meh. 11 weeks and all this will be over again.. then it has to be time for things to just stay okay. I'm so fed up of the rollercoaster.

    Not going to post loads of moany posts don't worry ;) will probably post nothing instead :rotfl:

    It's your diary, so you post what you wanna post ;)

    If you don't already have you thought about maybe keeping a journal?

    There's stuff I don't post on here as well and I find that keeping a journal helps me to do a "brain dump" and get things outta my head, IYKWIM? It's not online or anything, just a word document that has built up over the years. It's good sometimes to go back and read stuff and see how far I have came since then...

    As always, you need an ear, I'm here

    Hi WB. No wonder you're fed up. One thing seems to get sorted and then another crops up from nowhere :o Is it today somebody is coming out to help you with a new DLA claim? Have a good day and if you get chance I'd recommend another 40 winks. xx
  • Hi Wannabe, just swinging by to say hi! Hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend with smalls.

    You've shown great resilience and strength of character through all the ups and downs of the past few weeks. Be nicer on yourself :) Every experience will make it easier to cope the next time.

    Hope you're still enjoying your bed :)

    Thank you

    I love my bed. Like really love it :o

    Had a rubbish day :o the meeting over youngest was just horrible. I won't bring it here but I just feel completely out of my depth - don't even know how to explain it. Along side all this there is the other supposedly adult just making everything harder there's a lot of unsuitable words I'd like to say but not for here either ;)

    Anyway supermarket run done on the way home. Got youngest a sweet - skint but spending on lollies :cool:

    Glad it's Friday and we can just hide away for the weekend and pretend the outside world doesn't exist.

    Thank you hope you all have a lovely weekend
