Morning.

My hot chocolate almost exploded this morning but I managed to get to it just in time.

Feeling really down today. Just want to huddle in a corner. =/

Cough *stands nervously at the door*

"Please Miss...can I come In?"

To those who haven't met me before, don't believe ANYTHING that the regulars say about me.......unless it's summat nice of course....then I'll do the dissin'......cuz I don't do compliments:o

I'm assuming the Tiffster is still !!!!!-catting around, so I'll just tell you now that pup is rather poorly at the mo. He had to go for an out-of-hours appt yesterday evening & has to return in about an hour, cuz he's got gastro-in-his-gutterus:eek:

Now I've found you again, I'll pop back later & enthrall you all with the updates of Chez Mumma.....won't THAT be nice_pale_

Morning everyone. I had a good sleep. The sun is out so think i'll do some gardening today, and make the most of the sunshine.

Good luck with work today Chollita. I hope it goes really well.

Anni, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. Some good things are happening in your life just now (Karl) so hopefully you'll feel better very soon. Have you got plans today? OMG, your hot chocolate! I think you'll have to stand by it every time you make it.

What is everyone else doing today?

Hey Mummaf, nice to see you! I've become a bit of a regular, there are so many lovely people around here. Oh things don't sound too good just now for you, were you out late at the appoint last night? Has he been given anything to take? Hope he feels better soon.

Hey Jen ... I can identify with the lightning bolt thing, although I'm more inclined to want to send it OH's way at the moment! :mad:

Maybe you shouldn't worry about the 'why's', just accept that you're in a down phase, and it will pass.

I'm off to my vol job tomorrow at the cat shelter, hoping to be a kitty foster mum too! It's all part of my 'therapy', I love being around cats and it gets me out of the house and meeting people.

Oh, and there's the possibility of some freelance work as well:j

I hope it does pass. I dont know what to do about this job. will I be able to do the hours/early shifts/ will i be able to afford it?

I feel so angry with the uni about the counsellor. The uni keep other counsellors on throughout the summer, I saw one last summer and she was horrible - every session I had to justify being there, she said I wasnt really ill and she kept making me cry. then I find one I like and things seem to work with her and they let her go.

I need some milk because i want another brew but i just cant be doing with getting dressed.

Oh I'm so sorry. Weight gain is often a symptom of depression, and then they give you antidepressants which make you gain weight as well, which doesn't help people.

What I think helps me to lose weight is I have two dogs to walk, and because I'm stressed I walk as far and as fast as possible to get the adrenaline out of my system so I don't have a heart attack or something. TBH, I actually don't walk that far or very fast, but I need the walk just to feel less stressed, IYKWIM. And I was on a diet before I felt so stressed/depressed and still try to keep to it..................sort of, as I'm not good at diets.

I hate being fat, all my clothes dong fit anymore even my bras are so tight it hurts to wear them.

I used to love walking my dog. I just cant face going home so that I can see him.

Alba - Yeah. Karl is lovely but then I think why ever would he want me. I have a lot of self esteem issues. =/
I think you're right about the hot chocolate thing. I shall have to supervise. :rotfl:

BigmummaF - It's nice to meet you. I'm Anni.I can't remember if we've met before. I have a brain like a sieve at the moment.lol.

Hi Anni. Yes I know you have self esteem issues. But Karl is showing his interest and feelings, and for whatever reason he does want you! Try not too think too much about 'why' you, often in life others see different qualities in us that we don't see ourselves. It's one of those things we may never know why... and just have to accept it, to make a relationship work.

Remember how much you like him, take it slowly, try not to worry about the why's and what if's and hopefully things will go very well.
