[makemeskinny]

my bad days are starting to become more often than good....wheres the ?????

Kinda glad I'm not the only one that feels this way...

I feel the same. What's up Makemeskinny? Here is a .

Joining the 'feeling the same' line-up.

And another one from me!

well..I'm now sat here with a 2 layer thorntons selection box, and have ben and jerrys waiting for me in the freezer!

I dont normally sit feeling sorry for myself but last few weeks have just sucked!

Anything specific you want to talk about?.Went to family valentines disco at dds school so feeling pretty crap too.Have a large and hug!

My DD has a stomach bug and has been sick all day. Not only did I have to cancel our nice plans today, but I was also meant to be having a night out tomorrow...I guess not. And my poor baby looks so sick and is all flopped out.

all round?

good plan,love your name!!!I have a small pink plastic Ikea bowl that dd chucked under my sink today and am yet to retrieve (contemplates namechange to theresasmallpinkplasticbowlundermysink,but figures it is toolong)hope dd is better soon

Here is another if you want to keep talking about why things have been so hard lately.

aww hope ure dd gets better soon!

To be fair its all just lots of little things for me, In my whole little world i have all of 4 friends, 3 are getting married and one is having a second baby all loved up in their new house together and I'm alone every night, i really am happy for them but i cant help feeling jealous, and then i feel guilty because i feel jealous!!

Plus i've got a terrible cold and my ds has given me his conjuctivitus(2nd time he's had it in 3 weeks) and on top of that i got called out of work on tues as he wasnt eating and had temps of 103

Ok now i've written my 2 main ones down the rest seems pathetic in comparison, just never seem to get a break!!!

Still gonna crack open the !!

The spring will be here soon, and for so many people this time of year will all the illness, debt, cold etc can be difficult.

I imagine that if your friends are all having good/happy things in their lives it is making you look at your own life and what is good/exciting/happy in it for you.

Most of us aim to get married just the once, it is just one day, you will just have to listen to lots of wedding talk for the next six months, do the three friends all know one another?

Did you know these friends when you were pregnant? How did they react to your news?

If something is bothering you it is not pathetic, if you want to let loose with your you know you can.

for the record i understand there are a thousand and one worst boats to be in please dont flame me

and on the brighter side i'm still good at being a agony aunt if anyone needs the favour returned??

*worse

Aww,big hug.I'm with you on the jealous of friends thing.Poorly kids when a lp are a nightmare.I feel your pain!

What flavour ben and jerrys?I like Phish Food yum yum!

Thats what one i have!! Tho i know i'll regret it tomo morning!! lol

Thank you MummieHunnie so nice of you

Sorry for drinkin' and dashin' on Friday. My DD got worse so I had to stop ignoring her give her all my attention.

I hope you're feeling better makesmeskinny. Try not to feel too down, when I feel like that I just try and forget about it and write it off as a bad day/week/month ( that's what I had to do about the whole of jan!).Hope your DC get better soon.

Mavis, I'm not sure if theresasmallpinkplasticbowlundermysink flows that well. It can be awkward enough when people try to shorten theresapotato... so god knows what they'd do with that .

big hugs makemeskinny. If it helps one of the biggest powers we can have is over the control of our own emotions, even if it seems impossible to begin with. Every time you feel sad, try a happy song, a joke a walk, some positive thoughts about the future.

I hope I don't sound condescending it's only becausse I've been there myself and it did and does help me.

Enjoy the wine xxxx and more big hugs

How are you feeling makemeskinny?

Much better thank you hysterical, ds is better now so makes the days easier and I'm starting a diet tomo so hopefully i can find something to replace the comfort eating before my next down day!

How are you feeling?
And everybody else for that matter?!

Thank you all for being so nice the other day!

Had a bit of shit weekend. DDs had an awful stomach so I've spent the past 3 days on the sofa, watching tv with pukey baby on me and eating crappy food.

And it's fucking valentines day tomorrow. I plan to listen to Single Ladies on repeat and throw stones at happy couples, what about you lot?

lol throwing stones that actually made my giggle out loud!!

Aw, your poor dd, I hope she's better soon, have to say tho 3 days on the sofa watching tv and eating crappy food sounds pretty good to me!!

I have work tomorrow so will spend the day trying to avoid getting the 'sympathy look' from wanky smug people. May even steal your stoning idea...

It was good the first day, but after that I was bored. Normality has almost been restored today though yay!

lol @ wanky smug people...they're everywhere. I think all my loved up friends are trying to play down their Valentines this year as they know it's my first one single in a while. I know they're trying to be nice but it makes me feel kind of pathetic .

Makemeskinny..just seen your OP...glad you're feeling better. Being an LP is terribly hard, I have been one for the last 5 years, however, I was kinda like one when I was living with the knob AKA my childrens father. He was always out or in bed, and when he did grace us with his presence it was normally to take the TV remote control captive.

Now, when he left (chucked him out) I felt like a weight had been lifted, at least now I really was an LP so was in total control of everything, which was both daunting and liberating. I have had a relationship inbetween (way too soon after the split) it lasted 3 years, but he wasn't really interested in the kids and certainly never appreciated my situation. If you have never been an LP you will never know how hard (and I mean hard) it is. Married friends have the best of intentions but at the end of the day when you close your door, you are alone, even though you have your children, you are alone, this is the hardest bit. I also am envious of my very happy loved up friends and wonder what did I do so bad that I'm in this situation...I still haven't found the answer. All I know is that when you see the fruits of your labour, the wonderful children you have brought up alone, and when people comment on how well behaved/mannered they are, you can give yourself a big fat pat on the back. That's what gets you through this (oh and the ). Hang on to that thought.

Big hugs to every LP out there who is doing the hardest of (unpaid) jobs...

Oh and BTW Valentines Day is a pile of commercial shite (not that I'm bitter like :O)
