Since we've nearly tipped the last one over the 1000 posts mark, here's the new thread for cvq and for her friends to help this lovely lady to keep on getting better.

ok.but it is true i suppose.ive had her here for 6weeks.i didnt know if she would make it through 6 days with me or even if i would have to ask her to go so i have been lucky she has been here all that time and now i have to stand on my own two feet and carry on.its going to be a bit odd and maybe scary at times but you cant walk away or bury your head for too long can you.but i am missing her even if she did rearrange my cupboards.

Like I said earlier, we are all here, we all love you and we will all help in whatever way we can .

So, it is Friday night, do you know what I would do if I was not at work? Get tea out of the way, get the Ds's bathed and then get cosied up with a warm drink and perhaps a piece of chocolate or two on the settee and watch a bit of tv.

Maybe tomorrow you could go through your cupboards, fridge and see if you need to do any online shopping which maybe you could get delivered Sun/Mon then you are set up for next week.

yeah not a bad plan.its been another odd and emotional week.now if i could just get off this roundabout....

It was sad that it ended that way but it was a clean finish which you were really wishing for.

Your house to yourself, your baby, your space.

Here's hoping you have a nice and quiet evening and that you will get in touch with one of us before things are getting difficult. We are here with fluffy blankets, virtual chocolate and a listening ear at the end of a real telephone. You have the number, it's YOUR call.

Habbibu · 12/09/2008 23:43

that's very scary - not surprised you're upset. It was a dream - try to get your breath sorted out, as greyskull says.

sweet I have to go to bed..
Sorry to leave you like this..

Deep breathing, after your shower can you get a hot chocolate and watch some tv for a while?

Habbibu · 12/09/2008 23:56

Oh darling. I still haven't caught up with your thread - am assuming that you've been diagnosed with PTSD. Wish I had something better to say to you - try to do soothing relaxing things.

Habbibu · 12/09/2008 23:59
