    I got two essays back today, and I did rubbish. Great.

    Sorry to hear about the essays - did they tell you where you went wrong

    There is nothing worse than a bad mark and not being told why, so you can learn from mistakes.

    hi SF,

    I can sympathsise...

    I hate getting essays back, never get what I deserve as its all down to opinion and no way to challange academic opinion ....

    I doubt you can be classed as lazy in the same way as my flatmates can be ... being ill and lacking motivation is not lazy!

    I agree I hate things not being fair but this individual seems to have the system all sewn up; 16 hb paying the rent, on IS to pay for everything else, work shy bf over every night hogging our tv, never does anything around the house unless its unavoidable and to top it all off she is now pregnant and just awaiting being far enough "gone" to be be able to force the council to give her a council house...

    Life is definitely unfair.

    I agree, we work hard and we hardly get anything when we are out of work. You have to be desperate to get anything worthwhile. If you do work, you get taxed to the hilt and don't get me started on the sales tax we pay in the UK for what we buy.

    What upsets me is that I was a good student but as soon as I went after a serious job, I got prejudiced because I was married. This meant I had to stay with my OH so I could survive. Even if women do get a serious job, they don't get the full amount the men do.

    I wish I had been born a man they get away with so much more and get so much given to them with far less effort.

    meyore Hello, How are you today? Any news on that course you mentioned? I didn't give in to temptation. I went to bed instead. Yeah, I am back at work. Awww how cute :) What have they named it?

    shazrobo It sounds like your trip to the retail park with your support worker has done you the world of good :) I didn't give in last night, I went to bed :) What did you make during your woodwork class? Was it just a trim you had or a re-style?

    Maverick Sorry to hear about the appointment. Is it what you were expecting? How do you feel about what they said? Do you agree/disagree with them?

    Diamond :hello: Thanks for the support hun, much appreciated :) How are things with you? I assume you've got water now?

    When are you going to Butlins? I used to love going there when I was younger. Which resort are you staying at? I'm sure you and your son will have a lovely time. Awww hun (((HUGS))) your son might not have his Dad around but he's got a fantastic Mum who cares and loves him sooo much. You do a great job bringing up your son hun, be proud. xxx

    feelinggood How did the appointment with the psychiatrist go?

    TangledMemories It's nice to see a post from you :) Your employer seems to be really supportive. How lovely of them to all sign the card and give you flowers, that must have beightened up your day :)

    I hope you have a fun time at legoland :j

    Good luck with the counselling. I hope you find it beneficial.

    I hope the bank leave you alone real soon. How awful to be harassed by them :(

    gario :wave: Hope everything is OK with you. Best of luck with the interview.

    sazbo Hello, things seem quite hectic for you at the moment. I know you work real hard. Sending (((HUGS))) your way.

    LM Hello, you poor thing, you must be exhausted. I hope the Doctor can prescrbe you something so that you can get some sleep.

    kacie When you go to bed do you actually feel tired? I will have a think on other ways that might help you sleep.

    budget_budd Do you have a CPN/social worker/psych. or anyone else to discuss subsequent therapy? Has the leader of the group sessions mentioned any other groups that you could perhaps attend? Has the support group helped?

    CCStar I'm sorry to hear that you ere unable to sleep last night. Maybe lack of sleep has caused todays happenings to seem 10 x worse :( I hpe you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight (((HUGS)))

    top_drawer :wave: What is your dissertation on? I think you mentioned that you had been given an extention? Would it be possible for it to be extended further? Is it that your finding it difficult or just that there is too much to do?

    I assume you live in halls/shared housing? Your flatmates sound like they are damn right lazy and inconsiderate :mad: Would it be possible for you to all meet together so that any problems can be addressed and rectified? (((HUGS)))

    ILGD You poor thing (((HUGS))) You really have had a rough time of it lately. I'm so sorry to hear about the events that happened while you were on holiday. You must have been so scared when the pipe exploded. What a horrible experience. I hope you get some kind of compensation after all this.

    Again, I'm sorry to hear about Charlie (((HUGS))) Try to remember all the happy times you shared with him. He had a good life and had a fantastic owner. Hold onto those memories you had of him hun xxx

    poppycracker (((HUGS))) Thinking of you xxx

    slowlyfading (((HUGS))) I'm sure you did your best hun, what more can anyone ask for. Don't be too hard on yourself.

    I'm going to go and have a lie down. I really don't feel very well, mentally or physically. :(

    I hope you all have a good evening and a peaceful sleep. [[hugs]]
