Summary anyone? :)

Stand firm Chris.

And yes, your lyric is much more family friendly

The best cheesecake I've ever had was at Carnegie's Deli in New York. It was humongous and probably about 1,000 calories a slice I can't link to it because I'm on my iPad and it keeps diverting me yo the mobile site, but if you Google "Carnegie deli cheesecake recipe" you can try it for yourself. I had a go at making it, not as good as the one we had in the deli, but not bad!

Enrique, I try to keep it clean :)

Frankel, I'm going to end up a cheesecake connoisseur. Who knew a thread about squatting horses would result in my increasing my cooking repertoire and starting a festival?

shame you're going to iron out the divits. FYC; I'd've thought they would make the basis for the natural loos.

the low-fat cheesecake tastes as good as the norm. the reason I'M the size I am is wine!

Pedant

I make lazy cheesecake, then. I just melt butter, mix in lots of crushed biscuit, stick it on the base of the tin. Then beat the cream cheese, mix in sugar, spread half on the base. Then I melted the toblerone and spread that on top of the cheese, and then spread the rest of the cheese on top of that. Fridge overnight, and then eat!

I don't know Enrique's song so I can't appreciate the parody. Sorry . Enlighten me! I am soooooo out of touch.

For all you cheese cake fans - quick, cheating cheesecake: get a digestive biscuit, top with fromage frais (or creme frais) and put some fruit on top and drizzle with honey or thin jam... Don't make up too early as they'll go soggy (although they're easier to eat like that).

Pedant, will keep the ruts

Jux, it's "I predict a riot" by the kaiser chiefs I believe

Mistle, I'll have to give it a go.

I'm sitting here trying to get myself together enough to go for my counselling appointment. Feeling frozen and sad.

How do you move?

How do you find the energy?

I think you need to summon your energy up to go to that one FYC - it will, hopefully, do you some good at least in time. I hope your Counsellor is aware of the PND though.

Mistle, I haven't seen her since the beginning of December. I was ok then. Trying to deal with historical abuse.

I made it to the appointment last week and she forgot about me. I'm just going to cry at her. I have no words.

I think even that would be cathartic wouldn't it?

just put one foot in front of the other to get you to the appt. i always find walking in and crying very cathartic to share the tears. i'm sure it will help to just be there.

no experience of pnd but just your bog standard depression when i didn't have children, a mortgage, responsibilities and sodding horsey types needing to be dealt with. lots of lovely types rooting for you - just one foot in front of the other

Mistle, I hope so. Dh has come home to make sure I go.

It's ok. I'll be ok. I always am.

Yes Jux I predict a riot. It came to mind in the sense of riot of a time rather than smashing the place up (for the International FYF™)

Chris just remember, the appointment is somewhere to go. Somewhere just for you, but you don't have to perform or impress, you just have to be - that's the point of it.

Find little victories. Even just moving and getting out the appointment should be something that you can/should celebrate with all the party poppers and air punches and cheesecake you'd like. Celebrate what you can do, in spite of the dreaded PND, and that'll give you more reason to think you can do the next thing.

I've been going through a rough patch lately, but have been making conscious efforts to pat myself on the back. The other day my bike chain came off. I had about 20 seconds of "waah, why me?!?" then sat down on the kerb to see if I could at least try to fix the damned thing. That alone was back-pat-worthy. Then, of all the miracles, I did fix it! Even more whoop whoop!

Silly little things, but they add up to feeling better. Absolutely not a cure for depression I wish!, but a great coping mechanism.

Have you got a notebook for your therapy? It will probably help you to write down stuff as it occurs to you, and have something jotted down as a starting point for your sessions, even if it is only how much the therapist annoyed you in the previous session.

Enrique I think I lose track of that fact too often. Thanks for reminding me.

Pedant, that's a good victory! :) fixing things is a great feeling. FYF will be all about fixing things. Even if those things are only me.

Angela, I'll try that for next time. Good idea.

It actually went really well in the end. I do feel much better. She reckons I am feeling sad because I'm actually feeling really angry. Which is probably right. I've been given instructions to take it out on a punch bag

I think your counselor is brilliant. As females, we're conditioned that we aren't allowed to feel anger. It isn't 'ladylike'. So we make that anger into sadness.

Yeah, punching bag! Can you put UW's picture on it? Write her name? At the FYF you can ALL have a go at the punching bag!

Right now I'd trade your horsey problems for mine. I'm in an old house in the country, too. With a failed septic system. It was basically so old that it collapsed. Crap! (literally LOL) So no outflowing water from the house for the last 24 hours but hopefully today we'll get the new system installed. Luckily, we have a caravan, so I don't have to drive 3 miles to the nearest filling station for 'facilities'. It just sucks when you get up and it's 30f & you have to traipse outside.

Across, I agree. I was always taught to hide it, so I'm going to try to let it out now. Punchbag will be available to all :)

Don't envy you the tank issues. We had something similar here. Overflowing sewerage. Not nice. Luckily the tank is sound, but a tree has overgrown next to it pushing the in pipe out of alignment. Dh spent a wonderful afternoon digging it up and fixing it.

You do have a lot to be angry about! Luckily, the FuckYouFest is just the right sort of cathartic bacchanal to help, too!

Chin up! Dukes up! AAAAAAGH!

Just popping in to give Chris a quick hug. .
As you were.

Hello! Just dropped in to say I got bored of being DameDRB and have namechanged - so could whoever's doing the spreadshit about who's bringing what update the Rock Band and Portaloos to my new nn?

Septic tanks and their joys are one thing I do NOT miss about living in the middle of nowhere...

Spreadshit sounds apt if you are the portaloo provider

Started reading this thread as got side tracked by RL and was in fits of laugher at Chris " just fuel up the chainsaw"

Yes, still ok for face painting and cake at the fuckyouchrisfest:)

Cake goes nicely with damson gin. Perhaps I could be next to that tent?

FYC do you own a real punchbag? I'm seriously impressed if you do, I've always wanted one :)
DH used to keep a collection of cardboard boxes in the basement at his work. When someone annoyed him he would draw their face on a box and jump up and down on it to get rid of the anger.

Welcome back Lavendar :) rl isn't nearly as much fun as FYF

I'm glad you're still available for face painting. I can do a tiger and a vampire but that's about it.

Renter, I punched a punch bag until my wrists ached. It was very therapeutic. I will practise my primal screaming once I have the land to do it on!

Ida, thank you for my hug. It was greatly appreciated. at spreadshit.

Alpaca, septic tanks aren't fun, this is true. I hope you've got those fancy turdises sorted!
