  • before hollywood Not quite:rotfl: I guess I will just have to wait :)

    How long is the TV repair course? Do you think you will actually do it or is just an idea at the moment?

    Diamond78 :hello: How are you? How was your Easter? I think if the clocks go forward we lose an hours sleep :( I can't wait for the lighter evenings though :)

    Tulip I haven't heard of Happy feet? What is the storyline? Did you enjoy it? Have you seen The Holiday? I have rented it from Lovefilm but not watched it yet.

    I've always found crafts/making things to be quite therapeutic, do you find that too? Who are you going to make cards for?

    I'm sure you will lose the weight in your own time hun. Don't worry yourself about it too much. Do you tend to get much exercise during the week?

    You've made me feel rather hungry talking about tomatoes on toast :)

    Sazbo How was your day at work? I didn't like getting up early today :( My day at work wasn't too bad.

    I hope you manage to get a decent nights sleep.

    meyore :hello: Here have this:EasterBun :D Glad your Easter was good.

    It's a shame you can't get any time off while Tobias is home :( at least you've got the evenings to spend together. Have you heard anything about the job that you went for? Any news on you and Tobias moving?

    My Easter was OK. No chocolate though :( I went back to work today.

    CCStar It is difficult when people around us don't make any effort to even say hello or smile at you in the street, especially if you have said hello to them first. It does make you think what's the point in trying. I have noticed that where I live people don't tend to acknowledge each other, I don't know whether it's a generation thing or something. However, where I work it seems to be quite a close-knit community where people do smile and acknolwedge you if they see you in the street. It's the same if I go down to the coast to stay with my Grandad, everyone is so friendly and says good morning e.t.c I don't know what it is but I agree that it definitely can affect your mood.

    I hope you get a good nights sleep.

    Stephb Hello, hope you are well. I might have missed you mention it, but have you got your car yet?

    A big hello to all the new posters that I haven't yet chatted too.

    Take care of yourselves xxx

    Had a better day yesterday. Was so tired, feel asleep now awake again but very overtired.

    Had a day off and had a nice meal out and a last drive around Edinburgh. It is only 5 days to go now!! Loads of memories came back, some good and bad. Where I live now is so pretty but the people are so boring and the place has the potential to be so much better without getting spoilt.

    I do feel I didn't make the best of being here due to health reasons and people, whilst they are nicer than people from Oxford, they were not the most outgoing and encouraging, I felt it was hard work with very little result sometimes. Sometimes it feels dead living in Scotland and need the English umpf to get going. Where I am going is more friendly, so hopefully it should help me feel better and encouraged.

    I hope my mother doesn't try to take us over. We have our plans to enjoy the time, take a break, develop a business and help them. It is only a 6 month rental, so if it doesn't work, we can move further away.

    Our son needs to get a regular income, so he can get his own place and hopefully get more organised so he doesn't get into big debt and have to deal with unnecessary stress due to being disorganised.

    I am feeling a bit panicky about what is left to pack. I am OK with my stuff and OH is getting thro his but our son needs to collect stuff from places he needs for the new place. He seems to want to go out socialising rather than organising to get his stuff.

    I am feeling quite frustrated at his slowness at doing essential jobs and feel this can contribute to me feeling depressed when people close to me don't do things and let things get disorganised, which creates a lot more stress all round. I keep finding coins everywhere, which I grab for my jars but I collected about £8 worth (which I am keeping, as the coins were filthy) from his last place, yet he never seems to have money. I can understand why adulthood was 21 but I was mature enough at 17 to run things.

    I do find it an uphill struggle having to deal with awkward disorganised people. I wanted to do more sorting of my stuff out but I am getting exhausted by the draggy feel I am getting from my family to be able to think straight about my stuff. I guess it is safer to just pack it and sort when I am more able. Moving house really exposes some personal issues!

    Does anyone have to deal with this and if so how do you get people to get themselves organised for their own sakes?

    I'm off today, so it could be worse :)

    We're looking at setting a date to get married over Christmas time. Trying not to think about it too much because I'm convinced I'll curse it! Once we're married I'll be able to move up there whenever I want.

    Going to look at some possible venues today :j
