For our lovely essbee to post whenever she feels down and wants to chat, and for anyone else who wants to be here for her....

i don't know essbee - but once you are feeling less depressed, you will be able to put your other problems into perspective more - there will be less negative thoughts going round in your head for a start. you are and have been thru such an enormous amount lately - I defy anyone to have walked in your shoes and not to have been left feeling very low/shaky. i always generally say about ADs that a couple of months down the line, if they are working ok/right dosage, that you can feel a heck of a lot better

essbee, good luck with your long working day. I have an interview at 9.30 for a permanent job here, but the panel has 4 people on it - eek!!

I think it's would be very neat to send that emial in friday and then go away and see anorak for the weekend, so you are not waiting around. Good plan.

nutrigrain bars or meal replacement bars are better than nothing

humans need regular refuelling for optimum performance as well as cars

I've just baked a big batch of brownies for the weekend. Welshcakes next.

I'm going to feed her up, don't you worry about that!

Hello essbee,
I hope today has been good for you.

tigermoth · 17/09/2004 08:07

good morning essbee,

hope you're looking forward to the weekend. BTW I can't get MSM to work so haven't been around to chat. Still waiting to hear the result of my interview. At least I smiled nicely and answered all the questions. And it's over now so I can relax a bit.

Take care and good luck with pushing that 'send' button on your email today.

Morning essbee. DD2 said she is going to arrange NOT to walk home from school with her friend as usual but will set off at a fast trot to save a few precious minutes. She intends to make sure her room is pristine for you to sleep in

We are all looking forward to seeing you later.

Hello essbee.
Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
Hope today has been good to you.
Good luck with that email.

Have a lovely weekend with my surrogate mother won't you and hopefully we can meet up again soon. XXX

Please copy me in on email - I really think you should send it - you will look dignified and responsible and he will wonder why everyone is looking at him a bit weird - hehehehehehe.

Have a lovely time Honey. XXX

Oh yes and kimi has stayed. But she has been married to my cousin for 11 years so that doesn't count.

essbee still snoozing. I swear that woman could sleep through an earthquake.

Kids rampaging through the house, mine the ringleader...dh trying to figure out how he can wear them out without wearing himself out.

Me: just about to prepare some mini quiches for tonight. Then go shopping in St Albans when essbee puts in an appearance.
