  • misty and drizzly in Poole.

    Going to the dogs tonight, first time I've been out since the Blackpool trip! Weird that I feel so nervous, it's very bizarre that I now feel like this about going anywhere.

    Feel very sorry for a friend who emailed me yesterday. She bought Take That tickets for her and her daughter back in March for a concert in the next few days. She hasn't had the tickets and did a bit of digging about the company and it seems they are real scam merchants. There are blogs and threads all over the internet about the company and even a group on Facebook. I've told her if they don't arrive today then to get in contact with her credit card. Beware London Ticket Shop - they are an outfit based in Hungary it seems with a Watchdog-esque trail of people without tickets or refunds. She is gutted.

    it's dreich up here too but quite warm so no heating on for once or maybe I'm coming down with something??

    Sorry about your friend Keren hope the credit card company comes good but it still won't make up for missing out on something they've no doubt been looking forward to for ages.

    Just found hampers for xmas pressies in Poundland so very happy now and can start packing up pressies.

    Morning! Last night shift tonight! But work up to a text saying ex had tried to commit suicide and ended up in hospital. Swings and roundabouts really.

    Yeah. They've pumped her stomach so she's ok. Finally spoken to a psychiatric nurse too! Hopefully, she'll hate me and move on!

    The very same!

    Doodledoo Yes, she is. First time I've ever driven somebody to suicide, I must say

  • Hopefully she will get the help she needs.

    Even if she hates you now, she will come to realise at some point in the future that you are an ok guy and it was other things that were making her act and feel as she does.

    Just as important though - you must not blame yourself in any way for what has happened.
