    The photo as promised. One of the tongues in my boot slid to the side though. :(

    They certainly add a few inches onto my height of 5ft. :rotfl:

    You really have such a slender figure. I bet a lot of girls would love a figure like yours.

    Several of you on here will remember me coming on here in August full of despair. I was suffering from severe depression and a nervous breakdown. I worked in a call centre at the time and it gave so many negative vibes I found it so hard to be positive. I came off sick (there was no way I could work) and was put on a high and then even higher dose of Anti depressants. I was also given sleeping tablets. To be honest I felt at times I was a zombi. Anyway I started to see a counsellor in February and she was excellent. How these great people can sit there and listen to people like me talking 'dribble' for an hour at a time I will never know. I also found it made a huge difference stopping the alcohol altogether.

    Over the last 3 weeks I have taken up running. Think positive and am eating better food.I have also started self employment. I actually feel now that I want to live. I am fighting this 'b*st*rd' of a condition. I will win. I will win. Good luck all.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the hugs and welcomes :T

    Told my mum earlier that I'm going to see the doc about whether I'm bi-polar or not, and she said 'well done' and then went on to pour out a HUGE list of all the weird things I do when I'm 'high'!! Hahahaha :rotfl:
    Some of them I had noticed, but others were a complete shock to me!! At least I can tell the doc a bit more now and not just what I've noticed :rolleyes:
    Been doing some more research and I'm pretty sure I am bi-polar, but obviously need the doc to confirm, and then the wonderful period of changing medications where I will probably go completely loopy - even more than I am now :rotfl:

    Totally feel I'm in the wrong place at the moment as this is more support for depressed people, and as I'm on a mega high at the moment it's a bit strange that I decided to come here, but what the hey! Live on my own and don't have many friends here and need to talk or I will explode!! Hmmm ramble ramble ramble.......

    LadyM I LOVE your boots, I'm so jealous :p Got a lovely pair of New Rocks donated to me and they are too small :mad: Luckily I've got some yummy gothy boots that I love, from......New Look!!!!!! Hahahahaha :rotfl:

    Oh and Tiff, you are hilarious!! Your pics and posts made me giggle so much!!

    I've have very little short term memory at the moment so will go re-read posts and then say something else!! :rolleyes:

    PS - Tell me to shut up if I get too much please!! :beer:

    Heylo Pandora. :)

    Thank you. I own a few goth bits and pieces from New Look. :D I like to mix and match and sometimes they do have some lovely gothic pieces. Ebay seems to be my best friend at the moment though. :rotfl:
    I own a pair of Demonia platform boots too and I treat them like children.lol.

    Hey LadyM, I'm always finding cool goth looking stuff in the strangest places, I love it coz not many people seem to bother going anywhere other than the typical places to buy that sort of clothing. Found a GORGEOUS black velvet corset dress in a chavvy shop once for a tenner!! Had random strangers coming up to me in a rock club asking where I got it! The looks on their faces when I told them!! Haha, priceless!! :rotfl:

    :rotfl:Hehe That's cool. I always feel so out of place in New Look though. There's everyone in there either really chavved up or wearing normal jeans and a tshirt and then there's me - head to toe in black velvet, lace and massive boots.lol. Some of the looks I get are priceless. I get quite a few of my clothes from charity shops too. We have quite a few where I live. Other than that it's either ebay or one of the online gothic shops. :D

    Hi guys!:hello:
    And how are my little polecats doing this morning? Here's hoping everyone is safe and sound.angel-smiley-002.gif

    Happy 'Araw Ng Kagitingan Day' ('Day of Valour' in the Philippines) guys! I quite like the sound of that actually - you just don't hear lovely words like 'valour' much these days.sSig_no2.gif Still, I'm sure my knight in rusty armour is out there somewhere!rolleyes.gif

    Ahhh - I can hear son of Tiff stirring in his pit. Anybody with a teenager.....

    zomgcudhepos128520978411250000.jpg


    .....should follow these instructions:


    taketwoofthes128521039491562500.jpg

    It won't cure the problem but it will help my plans for world domination!biggrin.gif
    I'm considering releasing some recent [strike]photofits[/strike], ahem - er, photos of said son of Tiff for your [strike]safety[/strike], er interest I mean.

    Has anyone got anything exciting planned for today? Another busy day in Tiff Towers I'm afraid. Somehow I've got to fit in 3 catnaps today because I missed one yesterday due to cat-erwauling with that sazzy.rolleyes.gif
    Lovely to see rbk posting again and fg and stebiz too.action-smiley-033.gif
    I hope ethel and horace are recovering from their ops - I'm thinking of you guys. Still missing our miro and bmf. That blinky's been awfully quiet recently, too.sCo_watchout.gif And just what were you doing up at 4+ a.m. this morning, ladym? I saw your little light on as I did my rounds.;)

    I just want to reassure our new friends that there have been times when I've actually been known to post something useful on the thread - what year was that sazzy? Oh well, better get on and see if the Tiffster can still Tiff...sCo_idk2.gifsweatdrop.gif
    Be kind to yourselves guys.sLo_hug2.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
