  • Cripes Toto, I went through something similar when my youngest was born. started Uni, she was in and out of hospital...but i wanted to keep going forward. I think i feel more frustrated now because my life is at a standstill, and i always want to be on the go.
    I made a decision not to keep in supply teaching and concentrate my efforts into looking for a full time job. It is hard but i know i am going to get somewhere..I know you will to IA, it is just a phase which you feel keenly at the time you are going through it.

    What do you feel guilty for Sar?
    And it will probably help (trying not to sound patronising and mother like) if you TRY and identify what you DO what-I personally know that I knew what I wanted but the thought of achieving it was so scary and overwhelming it took me ages to finally DO IT. (Hence staying in an affection-less marriage for 15 years...)

    Sar, I hate to say this, but it is true-you are only 22, (nearly 23) but you have your whole life ahead of you. Don't spend it being sad and frustrated.

    And btw, left Turkey with the vets to have him looked all over. The vet says he isn't on deaths door, he has lost loads of weight and has loose bowels but it's not time to write him off so to speak-I am going to have to talk to XOH about maybe me taking the cats as I'm home more and can be more diligent about his injections. I was a blubbering mess in the vets...

  • Aww, hope he and you are feeling better soon. I was wondering if cats become moody as diabetics? my dd2 is a diabetic, and mood swings all over the place. she is a teenager as well, which doesnt help.

    I'm not sure Bob tbh, I would imagine it does?

    Bless him, he smelled so bad I was wretching! He has never taken to the diabetic diet which is half the battle-he is sooooooo skinny.

    Hi guys! Haven't posted since the other day when I came on and said about me and the hubby separating. I'm so down today. Been through my banking (haven't done any for weeks with all the stress at home) and its dire!!! Next month is going to be hell coz I forgot all about the car MOT and tax being due, and we're short this month too coz he took time off work to sort out things at home leaving his wage short. By July we should be ok though. We've agreed to financially leave things together until then to save us both some hassle with money mess. Its amazing how quickly we've slid back into old habits after relaxing and taking the eye off the DFW ball. We've done nothing but argue all morning.

    I must have missed that post about you and MrS. I'm sorry to hear that you've separated but I hope the arguments stop soon.

    In the meantime here's a hug for you....:grouphug:

    this is where I read about 2008 being a year of new beginnings (and endings) as well as focus on career to the detriment of family. I do take these things with a pinch of salt though!!!
