    DUMPLING take time for yourself hun, my Mum always says that people are either radiators or drains,


    Never has a truer word been spoken. My bloomin' friend arrived at 8.20am and has just left even after I had texted her to cancel. First she pretended she hadn't got my text although she lives on her phone so that scenario was very unlikely, then she admitted that she had ignored it as she 'wanted to see me' HAH wanted to moan at me for 10 hours more like. I have had an absolute gut full and just want to crawl into bed. One of the horrors of being agrophobic is that everyone knows you are home all the time and can take full advantage. I am sick of it.

    Oh dear , poor Dumpling !i think you are just going to tell her you are ill and unable to entertain her. I really feel for you .
  • Oh my Life dumpling, no one should have to put up with any other person for that long!! Even a so called friend.Profesional counselling sessions only lasts for around fourty five minutes,an hour at the most. And you have your own health problems to cope with, if you are able and have nothing else to do this evening I would go and crawl into bed and rest your poor battered brain.

    Dumpling how unfair of your 'friend' to stay so long, I am cross on your behalf 😡.Think I'd ignore the phone and make sure the door was locked next time.So selfish.
    OL sorry you've been upset by your friend too.
    CG hope Zeus is ok at the vets.
    I have hardly been on t'internet today,I decided to empty the kitchen cupboards and rearrange everything,took me longer than I thought and I didn't realise how many tins and packets and jars I had- I have been getting a few extra bits for the store cupboard.Still it'll all get used at some point.
    Ds is stressing a bit as DGD has to have a little op tomorrow,she is scared so it'll be a bit traumatic I think.He is taking her and her Mum to the hospital in the morning .
    Hope you all have a nice evening xx

  • DUMPLING if she tries it again lock the door and keep it locked. She's no friend to subject you to that relentless moaning session, especially as you have problems of your own.

    CANDYGIRL glad life is back to normal with your pooches.

    Slightly calmer here now, the two younger DGDs put everything away they had been playing with (without me asking!) and got ushered up to bed at 8.30. I am now in my snuggly big dressing gown with a well earned glass of wine beside me. Eldest DGD is next to me lost in her phone as they all are at that age!

    Night night dear friends, sweet dreams and here's to a better sleep for us insomniacs! xx
