OS daily threads September 2006

snoozer

Hi all,

Have had a useless day today, have slept most of it away.

Bathroom has been cleaned however and must do kitchen before I go to bed because the architect planning our extension is coming straght after work tomorrow.

Watching Andy Murray beat Gonzalez (hopefully):D and waiting for DH to call from Istanbul. He may be home tomorrow night but probably Tuesday.

Penny P well done on finishing the essay, here's hoping for another 92%.

Purple P look after the habd, burns can be sooo painful.

Moggins, maybe you should get a flylady stylee water bottle to keep with you all the time.

Snowy, hugs it really seems as if you're going through a bad time at the moment. Don't give in your notice - take sick leave, it sounds as if your stress levels are making you ill.

Purpleprincess - OUCH!!! your poor hand hope the pain is gone.
Smashingblouse - glad you're feeling better. Centreparcs for Christmas, how wonderful. We've booked a cottage in Norfolk this year. It's the first time we've ever been away for Christmas but we're SO excited about it. Hope you have a great time.
Sorry your shopping trip wasn't a success Snowy. Your nerves are a bit fragile at the moment - take it easy.
We had a great ride this morning - 26 miles in the end. The sun was really hot so even though it makes cycling hard work we were glad of the wind.
I'm feeling a lot brighter tonight, I must have gone at least 2 hours without thinking about DS's troubles & I'm not at all tearful about it - a major step forward. Exercise always makes me feel better, much more effective than antidepressants - although I've been there too. Hopefully a good night's sleep tonight & I'll bright as a button tomorrow ready for going back to work.
I'm on lates this week, 10 - 6 so I won't be nagging if you haven't started the daily thread before 7.:D

Evening all...and what a carp evening it is too. Am all upset - I have been blessed with a nagging mother. (And I am sorry to those who do not have their mothers any more, I do not mean to be insensitive). I know she just wants the best for me but that also means that what I have and what I have achieved isn't good enough. I do wish she would lay off for a while, it has been so hard leaving England, leaving my job, leaving my lovely wee flat and leaving my friends, just to be told that the house I have isn't good enough, and the job I have (this one, and the last one which was temporary) isn't good enough and to get sarcastic comments about how I'm sitting in over the weekend. I thought I was going to improve my life by coming back to N.I. but it has been a nightmare. I was nice to her, but it was so hard to bite my tongue. I am v.v.down now, absolutely not going to work tomorrow, have to go to my GP and try and get myself sorted out, this can't continue.

Just popped back for a quick catch up - Snowy Owl, sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it - mothers, eh?:grouphug:

I'm originally from NI and I think that people over there as a rule can be too fond of sticking their noses into other people's business, family especially (apologies if I offended any other NIer - it's not intentional and just my observation). Don't let it get you down!

Maybe it's worth pointing out that you find her comments hurtful?

mrs-moneypenny

purple princess take some pain killers before you go to bed tonight, i burnt my hand years ago making pancakes (splashed hot oil all over it! OUCH) it was throbbing all night.
I hope your burn heals quickly as you did it at work wont they let you off going but still pay you for the shift? (i hope so)

Smashing_Blouse

(((((hugs Snowy))))))))

moggins

((((((((((((snowy))))))))))) Life is just completely pants for you at the moment aint it? I wish I was there to give you a big cuddle! It can only be up from here hun, and no matter what your mother thinks you must do what is right for yourself. It's your life not hers.

Squishy

(((hugs))) snowyowl - sounds like you're having a hard time just now. Go to your doctor and see if they can help - just getting out of work will make it a bit easier. Unfortunately there's nothing I can suggest about your mum, so all I can say is you've done a lot by moving, and I hope things will go better for you soon.

Hi Seraphina...I know you are right, I should tell her that what she says is hurtful, but I don't think I could stand a conversation like that either. It is v.hard to listen to though. Anybody want to swap??

dorry_2

hya snowy, :wave:

i have just been catching up with the last couple of days threads, your job sounds like my placement, but at least i am leaving it on friday (thank the lord) anyway i think some people ie: managers adopt a bullying approach to some staff, (u?) i think u should start and look for something else??
i was bullied for a short time at work and in the end i had to stand up to them, (total nightmare!) it did eventually stop but i cried for days about it!! so i can empathise with u, hun.

look, ignore what your mum says, she can't live your life for u can she?

i feel that as soon as u find another job or re-train to do something else, your life will be better again.

snoozers advice about ringing in sick, sounds good, and will give u time to look for something else??

if u want to chat pm me,

love dorry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
