What's the 'Maybe I do'?, sat? Maybe we could help you with it.

escape · 17/05/2007 07:12

talk to us about it then, I'm sure you're not being silly.

stoppinattwo · 17/05/2007 07:12

Oh I had a MC at the start of september 06............was just ticking about it today......was giving my DD a big cuddle this morning and it made me sad, even though at the time i was quite resigned to what happened.

one of the best things about working is you can take a day off and get paid (hopefully). i think its great your taking a day off. How many days do you work in the week?

artishoo · 17/05/2007 07:16

oh stoppinttwo that is sad. take some days off and give dd loads of cuddles

stoppinattwo · 17/05/2007 07:17

atm artishoo i feel like i work too many days (do full time). Ive always been an advocate for going back to work, but the way i feel today, if i went in, i would walk out with my P45

fancy a drive over?

i know you are stressed about various things, which doesn;t help...a duvet day might be just what you need, or a day just to please yourself. get some breathing space x

stoppinattwo · 17/05/2007 07:25

I might lulu, thanks, will see if i can shake off this bloody morbid sad feeling. Wish i could just cross off my life all the things that jump out and make me sad...............I have a good life really, I should be grateful

i know that feeling. i hope you have some lovely food in the house, some trashy mags (if you like that sort of thing) or visit lulumama (thats sounds nice!). Take as many days as you like, please dont go back to work til you feel like it, even if its a week. or more. Or forever! my heart goes out to you, let someone look after you loads for a while.

heifer · 17/05/2007 07:26

Sorry to hear that SA2.... I didn't didn't realise , and you certainly are NOT being silly..

I reckomend a day in bed reading a good book!... then when you have finally finished it let me know and I will send some more your way....

Or go and see Lulu - bet she will cheer you up (well her crocs may make you laugh anyway)...

lulumama · 17/05/2007 07:29

DD has pink crocs now (asda ones! couldn;t find real ones in her size!!)

you;ve got my mobile number, SA2 , got mums & tots this morning, then nothing till school run....

TBH...if i was you, much as i would love to see you, i would get some trashy mags, something lovely for lunch, and just relaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxx...get someone to pick DCs up from school, and have a day off !

it will probably do you the world of good to only think about yourself for one day
