I want to cancel my skype and also facebook. I have googled. Sorry, I can't work out how to do it. I need to get rid of them both. Please, can anyone guide me what to do?

The essay (at the risk of outing myself in RL) is one about a landscape feature on the college estate where I am studying. I have to assess the services it provides, and detail how it can be improved. Basicially it is all about not interfering with nature. In 2500 words. With diagrams, maps and flow charts.

I AM BOILING HOT! Been sat here writing all day. Sad

And I still have another assignment to write where I have to look at the management plan for a local park, and determine what is wrong with it in light of recent conservation legislation/suggested action.

I also have to get cracking with filling in probate forms, but I won't bore you with my woes. :)

Wow! You must be a brain box!!

Not finished writing the letter yet. I spend days writing it so it is really long. Will hopefully finish it off this evening though.

I'm just sitting on my bed and can't be bothered to move. Keep eating pistachios :)

Thank you for being kind to me, all of you. I am feeling calmer, although still checking over my shoulder every time I go out or into my house :(

Nah! Just interested. Hopefully I'll graduate okay though - Ill find out soon enough.

Just finishing off my reference list and then I can print out the final version of this report. Then put DD to bed (she is just back from her Nanna and Granddads and upset because she's tired and hungry), then sort out tea for us.

Letter-writing sounds good for you though :)
Glad to hear you're feeling calmer. Am here if you need to PM or chat. x

MrsSnaplegs · 24/05/2012 19:25

Mosp you seem to be a lot brighter Smile
You also seem to be doing a sterling job with cleaning - don't fancy popping round to mine do you? Wink
We're moving in 6 weeks and so having a massive clear out - the house is A TIP !!
Honestly it would be really good therapy, believe me it would, go on you know you want to GrinGrin
Have you told your penpal about MN? That would make a good read

mosp · 24/05/2012 20:27

MrsSnap, I really honestly would if I could! I love helping people out :)

I would not tell anyone in rl about mn (well, apart from the ones that are already on it). Prefer it to be private really. Anyway, he has no access to internet, hence the snail mail letters.

Geoff, sounds like you could do with a rest this evening once dd is in bed. Or as lovely moonlight walk as you've been cooped up all day.

NotGeoffVader · 25/05/2012 09:55

I think I'll try to get out for a walk later today, Mosp - a moonlit walk would have been great but I'd have had to go solo, and there loads of annoying yob types about on their mopeds; plus I didn't get to sit down to dinner 'til gone 9pm again last night - I don't think DD likes the heat/light so late into the evenings!

Thankfully DH has today off his regular job and is doing some other bits, so he'd taken her out for a while. Hence I must get off MN and crack on with essay no. 2!

Back later :)

For anyone feeling a bit down...find an album you haven't listened to in years...brings back all the good feelings of happy days and laughs.

RetroMom · 25/05/2012 15:45

molepm, music is always a great mood enhancer. I would warn though, watch out for those tunes that set your chest in melancholy. Put on something up beat and happy when that happens on your walk down memory lane!

mosp · 25/05/2012 17:16

I only have tapes of my old stuff from bygone years! Can't bear to listen to them though - they're in a box in the attic.

I really hope I'm not speaking too soon, but I think I am going to be ok re the fb man. I think I 'talked' on here about it early enough and you were all helpful, so nipped it in the bud. Sadly, that wasn't the case 15 years ago.

Still heard nothing about the therapy. Will prob chase it up again on Monday. Losing patience now, especially as I see how badly I need it after what I allowed to happen to me last Saturday.

Hope you're all ok, and not too snowed under with work/essays etc.

MrsSnaplegs · 25/05/2012 18:42

Mosp really pleased that you are having a good day and feel positive now. Maybe if you are feeling better Monday - chase up the GP about your therapy
Beautiful day here and I hope everyone is enjoying the sun
Weekend of clearing more of our clutter - very therapeutic moving away and not being able to take so much stuff Grin
So my question of the day is what do I do about my old wedding photos help me decide Smile
ExH - I left him as he was having/continuing an affair within 6 months of our wedding - 9 yrs ago
Photos currently in a box under bed, DH knows I still have them and is not fussed
Spent a fortune on them and some lovely photos of my family so have kept them as will never be able to replace them
Options

  1. Keep boxed as they are
  2. Ditch completely
  3. Cut the v posh albums up and just take the photos I want
  4. ?? Grin
mosp · 25/05/2012 20:01

My opinion, it depends on how you feel about him. Do you feel upset to see them?

I'll tell you what I have done: my wedding pics are in the attic. I have kept them in case my girls ever want to see. Same with the wedding dress and rings. I have no emotion either bad or good attached to those items.

If you don't want them cluttering up your space, maybe see if another family member would stash them away?

Sorry about what happened re ex. How horrid!

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 25/05/2012 20:04

Thanks mosp I think they will just stay in the box and go into storage - same view I my DD ever asks about my first marriage then she can see them
I never want to see him again - not because of the betrayal but because he took my dog Sad in the break up - bastard
So what are your plans for the weekend?

RetroMom · 25/05/2012 20:07

Mosp, I'm so glad to see you're feeling more in control after what brought you here.

Try get that therapy sorted, but in the meantime, hang around here and chat. You know some people who have given you some really good advice during a crisis. They'll be here to walk you through the hard times when you need them.

Can I be so bold as to offer you a (((((hug)))))

mosp · 25/05/2012 20:30

Snap - gutted about the dog! Did he do that just to get at you? My ex tried to sell my piano but I tracked it down and got it back :)

Thank you retro. I will accept that hug happily :)

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 25/05/2012 21:39

I suspect so mosp Sad
I was however given my new dog from his breeder - she is my old dogs sister Grin
We have had her now for 7 years

NotGeoffVader · 25/05/2012 22:57

Sounds as though everyone has been having a good day. Sorry I don't have any suggestions really on the photo front - I think I'd probably keep them to show to children for the future, perhaps get a copy of one of the nice family ones framed and put up though.

Reminds me, I need to find a nice picture of my parents to put up. As it is, I have to source some fun ones of my Dad to get copied for his memorial/celebration day later this year.

Just to say, Mosp, do chase up the therapy. Mrs Snap yes, it was a shame about the dog but I am glad you have another canine companion now. :)

MrsSnaplegs · 26/05/2012 19:54

Mosp how are you today?

mosp · 27/05/2012 12:17

Thank you for asking. I'm ok so long as I plough on and don't stop to think. For now I am ok.

Today is the singing concert :)

Hope u lot are ok and able to make the most of this weather.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 27/05/2012 14:06

Singing concert sounds interesting - are you in it? good luck if you are and if you are going to watch - enjoy!
Outside in the sun enjoying the weather, did a load of ironing and washing earlier and the washing up so trying to relax wilst the baby has his nap and DD reads her comic in the sun

mosp · 27/05/2012 14:32

It's dd1 in the concert. Remember she was a rehearsal last Sunday (can't believe it was a week ago). I'm at home with dd2 and she is bored and letting me know it very loudly and persistently :(
I get impatient with that kind of thing because I don't get it. I don't get bored and neither does dd1. Grrr!!
Thankfully it's not long now until we leave to the concert hall.

OP posts:
NotGeoffVader · 28/05/2012 20:09

How was the concert, Mosp?

Hope everyone on this thread had a good day. Mine didn't go as planned, so the alternative was to go to the shops to find some new T-shirts and possibly a skirt or dress for me.
Came back with blackout blinds, a picture frame, a bed/cot canopy for DD and some new sandals, shorts and T-shirts (also for DD).

Hoping tonight isn't going to be another long evening of getting her to bed. Just realised Springwatch has already started :(

mosp · 29/05/2012 17:38

Concert was good thanks.
Been quite preoccupied recently. Sorry.
It's so hot. I hope there are some thunderstorms on the way...
Hope you are all well, and not too busy to enjoy the days.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 30/05/2012 17:04

Hi mosp sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days, I know what you mean about wanting thunder - might help the baby sleep longer if the air cleared a little.
Definately busy here - is your house still sparkling?Grin

mosp · 30/05/2012 20:49

Been feeling really awful and suicidal today. Not sure how much longer I can take the strength of my self-loathing. Didn't even manage to take the girls to school. They walked with a friend. I just lay on my bed and didn't move for hours, even though I was bursting for a pee.
I'm so tired of being 'needed'. I want to escape :(

OP posts:
threeleftfeet · 30/05/2012 21:12

mosp I'm sorry you're feeling like this. Is there anyone you can speak to in RL when you feel like this? Would it help to speak to someone?
