Katie, how was your night out? hope you had a great time!

Rose, I'm really sorry you're having such a horrible time at work with your boss. Well done for insisting on taking your holiday. Is there no one higher than her who you can speak to? (( hugs )) x

I thought that even if I can't control how sad and lonely I get sometimes I could at least try to empower myself and make myself feel better, even if it is only a tiny bit,

Well it is a very good idea! Though wish I had thought of it myself a long time ago!! :rotfl:

Recipe book sounds cool. I tried to do that once but food and I don't have a great relationship.lol.

I love cooking, and I feel that if I sorted myself a recipe book out I could better plan my meals and shopping etc. And if I could better plan my meals then I could probably manage to lose some weight at long last!!!

I love sorting through photos. Only more recent ones of friends and I though (well somewhat recent - a couple of years ago because I got worse) but I don't like looking through childhood ones as it brings back a lot of bad memories.

I don't really have any childhood photos, my parents have those Besides I don't have any childhood memories anyway so no worries on that front, I don't really remember much below being a teenager at all. Someimes I think I may have been born a teenager!! :eek:
I am going to make a book of photos of me and my Fiance - I have one of those books where ts thick card and each page is like a frame? Its all flowers and things - dead romantic. I am going to put in it photos of us from when we first started going out and add to it once every year or so until it is full so we can look at how we are aging together! lol :rotfl:

I just want to say thanks everyone for giving me a warm welcome into this thread and being supportive.

xx

You are welcome Everyone is welcome here and we will all do our best to support each other here x

I have a few cups. I used to get silently annoyed with my ex because he never used to wash cups properly and they used to get stained. He was like "The stains won't come out". I proved to him hat they do. All you need is a little elbow grease. I tend to have a lot of upper body strength.lol.

I was always told to just put a little bleach in the bottom of the cup if it got too bad - then after letting it soak a little wash it as normal = no scrubbing

hello everyone


ive had a very bad 2 days, it finally happened, my boss pressed my self destruct button.

Oh so sorry work has been so tough on you!!! I wish I could offer you some really good advice...but I just don't know what to say huni.

yesterday it was just one thing after another, of her saying such awful things, one was soo bad that one of the girls at work said " dont let her speak to you like that"
she was constantly blaming me, and shouting at me, and tellin me off, and expressin her anger onto me, passin the blame onto me, talking down to me, makin me feel soo darn small. i mean im small already, no need for that:mad:

the final push came, when she said i wasnt aloud my holiday, when i am entitled to it, i do deserve it, and i have to take it. so god i was fummin. she properly pushed me over the edge, all week ive put up with her bs, im either gonna have to quit my job, or im gonna have to fight her, but god i dont even know what channels to go thru there. anyway i fought her hard for my holiday, and im havin it, i f-in need it. .......she was just tryna kick me down further :mad:

The book I am reading at the moment is this - http://www.eruditor.com/books/item/9781841191256.html.en
I think there is a section in there on bullying at work....but I am not up to there yet so don't know if there is anything in that will help you?
Likewise I don't know if maybe something here will help you?

:hello: Everyone,

Morning! Tulip is here!!!! well last night was such a dream I dont even know where to begin it :rotfl: got to my friends house for 5.15pm and then went inside to wait for the limo to turn up,It came at 5.40pm but we still had to wait as people were not ready to get into the car It was a lovely pink one too,very girly I must say and the birthday girl got in first then those going into the limo did afterwards her keyworker was in with us as well then we set off to pick up her mum and sister too We had champagne and Shloer during the limo ride

we then had a lovely tour around and then soon we arrived at the venue the hotel that was lovely too It was held in a victorian suite away from other hoteliers so we didnt disturb them and it was great,it was very hot in the hotel so had to come out for some air midway through.

I did some dancing and chatting to my friends and also to her family

I did 2 songs on Karioke Believe by Cher and then Lady in Red,I said before I sang Lady in Red all couples get on the floor as this is a nice slow one and lets groove :rotfl: then all too soon it was over.Dad found me ok and we left just after 10.30pm and I was home for 11pm I then had a hot drink and read my newspaper and was in bed for 12am Got a muzzy head today so I know what having a hangover is really like

love and light,

Heya Tulip hun.

Sounds like you had an awesome time. Limos are so much fun.

I'm panicking because I can't find the disc with my prom photo on it. It's a photo of my friends and I and I treasure the photo to the ends of the earth and I can't find it.

Not having a good day today. I pushed myself to go out earlier to get some milk and some electricity and gas credit and I almost got blown away and I had a panic attack. It's so cold out today. My nose got very sore and the backs of my ears stung a lot.

I'm going to do some tidying up now and put the washing on. I might find my disc whilst I'm tidying up too. We live in hope.lol.

Much love
Lady M.

Hi Everyone,
Hope your all well and feeling good.

Rose07, sorry about the rough time your having.Your boss is a very unproffesional pig!!! Some times when bullies sense that one person is emotional, they like to pick on them. Arrggghhh If only I saw your boss in the street, I would really put them in there place. How dare she treat you and speak to you like that. Make a note of how she has been treating you. You as an employee do not have to put up with that kind of bullying. Like OP have said, sheck to see if she has a manager or human resources. Do you have a union for your place of work?If so then go speak to your union rep hun.Many years ago, I was temping for a well known clothing company, I was younger then but this young woman kept picking on me, she was so rude and disrespectful that in the end I snapped as she was humiliating me in front of staff and customers. I walked out as there was no point fighting the cow coz she was a manager.When your a temp and not been there long, they seem to take the other side and not act on the bullying. But I made sure the company was aware of her behaviour so If she treated someone the same way then Its on paper to say what she is like.
When I was younger, I was never afriad to speak my mind, I could be really horrible to people but thats coz they deserved it, my mouth could get me in trouble to now.Now tho its a different story, I keep my mouth shut.

Tulip, glad you had a lovely time hun-you deserved to have fun and a great night out.xxx

Hi Hun,
Just wanted to give you a massive teddybear hug......
What happened yesterday? Dont feel ashamed or stupid, as that will make you feel 10 times worse. Let it out and hopefully you may feel a little better.

Sending you lots of love,hugs and kisses xxx
