    Hey folks. I've got the rage today for some reason. It feels like it's a matter of time before I hurt someone else, or myself. I dunno what's triggered this, but I don't like feeling like this. :mad:
    hi weegie, sorry to hear your not feeling too good today, please don't hurt yourself, or anyone else.
    what usually helps to make ya feel calmer?, soak in bath, warm milky drink, watching a comedy dvd, these are a few of the tactics i try to use wen i'm having a bad day
    big hugs

    diamond...many congrats..im so pleased for you.i deffo use the rent and let this s*d of a landlord sing for it.tell him its in lieu of repairs and compo for making your lives dangerous and let him chase you for it if he dares.im really happy for you cos you sooo deserve it.i wouldnt worry for now if the landlord says its ok re the shortfall, main thing is to move to the new place, at least any place will be better thasn where you are now, so cross any probs as they arise.
    hope it all goes brill for you. you made my day:):)...barnsleys losing but its early hopefully.
    love ilgd xx
    Thank you so much hun and Shazrobo, it means so much to me.You have all been so good to me, supportive and encouraging.I really hope nothing goes wrong.DS is so excited too. Atleast it will be peaceful and quite and he wont be frightened anymore.Now all I have to wait for is for him to do the tenancy agreement and once I have that, I have to go straight down to the council and get the forms and paper work sorted out.I have so much stuff.My god, I dont know how I will cope lol.Ive managed to pack DS's stuff, he has more stuff than me. Even if this flat doesnt go through I am determined to be out of here by the 17th of this month as thats when Virgin Media come and collect the set top box and modem. I cant cope without being online. Landlord said they have BT line in the flat, so now need to work out who I am going to go with for broadband ect. Landlord said he needs to get planning permision for SKY although next door have a dish up. But either way I will be sorted as long as Im out of here.All this worrying isnt doing my health any good but when ever I have felt so low and no way out, you guys have always lifted me up out of the dump.Had I not had the courage to post on here and meet all you lovely people I know for a fact I would of turned to self harm again.So I just wanted all of you to know how grateful I am for saving me in so many ways.
    Hope evryone is having a good day.The snow has melted now here, DS was gutted he could go out to make a snowman but he is ill and I would feel very guilty If he got worse, not that he can go out in the garden as its not safe.
    Anyway, my mobile phone contract is up next month so I need to search around for a better offer so will chat soon.Once again thank you to everyone who has hepled me on here.Big hugs to you all xxx

    Hey weegie, sorry to hear how your feeling. Maybe things have been building up and something has touched your nerve. If you have been letting things build up and not talking about things sometimes we can get like that. Like Shaz said please dont do anything to hurt yourself or anyone. I hope you feel a bit better once you have thought things through.Keep posting as it helps.Take care and hugs to you x

    ilovegreatdanes Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with Quidco :( I used to do clicks but most of the time they didn't seem to track so I gave up. Hopefully they will see that it was an honest mistake and reinstate your account.

    I live in Surrey which is about 40mins from London. I can't afford my own place so will probably end up renting a room. The council won't help me because I work full-time. I did have an application form for council housing but the wait is approx. 10 years.

    Tiff It's lovely to see you posting :jI hope you are taking good care of yourself.

    Shazrobo I hope you enjoy the computer course. At least it gives you something to occupy your time with while your sons are at school.

    ellerose Welcome to the DST. You're very welcome here. How long ago did you and your partner break up?

    geminilady It's nice to see you :wave: How are things with you?

    Diamond :T That's great news *fingers crossed* it all goes through OK. You and your son deserve a nice place to live :) (((HUGS)))

    weegie Sorry to hear you're feeling :mad: did you wake up feeling that way or has it crept up on you throughout the day? I hope it passes soon. Have you got a punch bag? I've been thinking one of those might be a good idea.

    If I did there wouldn't be a hole in the wall. :o

    Hi everyone, how are you all? Sorry I haven't been around much, OHs been home and I've mostly been spending my time with him. Hes gone away again today, but this time hes gone for 3 months which is the longest we've ever spent apart.

    I'm a bit tired now, but I'll try and catch up with you all tomorrow.

    Hugs to everyone.

    Hi guys!:hello:
    I hope we're all in fine fettle this Moanday morning.sLo_grouphug.gif
    Some totally useless Tiffy trivia...not only is today 'World Health Day',confused.gif...

    funny-pictures-cat-excercise-bike.jpg

    biggrin.gif
    ...but it is also 'Tater Day' in Benton, KY!blink.gif (Kentucky, USA, that is.) So I guess we all have to be healthy today and it's a bag of chips all round for 'Tater Day' - or am I just showing my lack of breeding by assuming 'Tater' is connected to potato?! blush1.gif Stop laughing - they sell 'Tater Tots' in the US - like mini potato croquettes...I dunno...the riff raff you get round here...mutter...mutter...rolleyes.gifwink.gif

    And very large moulting Tiffy hugs to everyone for their kind wishes and words over the last couple of days. sLo_grouphug3.gif It meant a lot to me and I hated being unavailable to help on the thread.pout.gifHopefully, I guess you can now say that the Tiffster is very much back in town!speechless-smiley-040.gifDon't say you weren't warned!biggrin.gif

    And a very Tiffy huggy welcome1.gif to ellerose (elle) - welcome to the clan angel. I'm glad you took that first difficult step and posted.action-smiley-033.gif The good souls here will do all they can to support you hunnie - and they don't judge anyone either so feel free to share as much as you feel comforable with.sLo_hug2.gif

    Special mention in dispatches to gem, ref. tip for itchy eczema - take a leaf out of Baloo's book hun, (the bear in 'JungleBook'), and instead of scratching, rub up against a tree or the corner of a wall or the back of a chair!wink.gif Or even a very handsome stranger!biggrin.gif You don't have to sing the song though angel - and please try and avoid grunting in ecstacy at the relief you'll feel ...you'll only get gilly-brocky-badgie all overheated and rampant again.evilgrin0010.gif rolleyes.gif

    Sending sincere Tiffy hugs to everyone with appointments, WORK, courses, meetings, assessments, treatments, counselling and also to anyone feeling under the weather, or who has poorly loved ones, or anyone who is struggling at the moment. Hang in there peeps - nothing stays the same constantly, not even depression. The clouds will lift in varying degrees - honestly.sLo_hug2.gif
    It was really great to hear some reply to the roll call yesterday,action-smiley-033.gifangel-smiley-002.gif, but there are still some peeps unaccounted for...now don't you make me come out there looking for you!whip.giflaughing-smiley-014.gif
    Wishing everyone safe journeys - take care all.sLo_hug2.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Heya all. :)

    Diamond, I am so happy for you. I hope it all works out. Hearing your news has brought such a smile to my face today. :)

    I'm in agony at the moment. All I'll say is it's times like these I hate being a girl.lol. I had a nice bath though and I forced myself to get dressed because there is only so many days of sitting around in PJs that I can take.

    I've been saving up money for some new gothic boots and I managed to buy a pair on ebay for £25. They normally retail at £100 so I think I got a real bargain.

    My eye is really itchy. And it's not my bad one for a change. Odd.

    Anyway, I hope you all have a good day and welcome to all the newbies. :D

    Much love
    LM
