Lyra, Oggs, Berrie, Zeb and Binkle....OVER HERE!!!!

[binkleandflip]

Haven't seen it. Can she sing?

There's no way she's a size 14. 16 at least.
Yes she can sing but i don't think I'll be hot-footing it down the box office for tickets.

Who's playing Bill Sykes again? I can't remember. Isn't Rowan Atkinson doing Fagin?

How did it all work? Weren't they choosing an Oliver too?

They chose three Olivers, who will take turns. The Oliver part of the show was secondary to the Nancys. That bit was just like the Marias and Josephs.

Morning.

How are things Zeb? Been thinking of you this weekend.

Morning.

Very fed up and angry today - midges!
Gah! Bastards! Fiends! Aarrggghhhhh! Hate them! Hate them! Hate them!
Do you know that there are approx 10,000,000...yup....10 million of the gits in an acre?

How's everyone else?

Does repellant not work Oggs? Obviously not...

Feel terrible if I'm honest. Vowed not to do this again but here I go. My improvement did not last more than a couple of days. DH had to come home last week as I could not cope. I don't know what can be done and I'm feeling pretty desperate. I'm not suicidal, no-one is in any danger. Is that what it takes to get any help?

No. Get yourself back to the doctor. If necessary change doctor.
From what I can gather you've been on ads a long time and should have had some improvemnet by now.

(((squeeze)))I know you are against counsellingg but is it not worth another try? YOU lead in which direction it goes.
Rather than addressing past problems you need strategies to move forward. To take back control of your life. To empower you. To give you confidence in your abilities. To let you see through the murk even for only short periods to start with. To give you hope. To enable you to enjoy your children, your dh, your home-life.
A good counsellor should be able to help you do this.

I wish I lived nearer.

DH is in Scotland for 3 days on Wednesday...wrong coast though...that's going to be fun.
He flippin' woke me up this morning to ask how I was as he is so worried about me. I could only tell him I didn't know as I was ASLEEP!

Sorry for wading in there. Can't stick around as I need to do some work just now, but I'll be around later if you want to chat.

I'm at the Doctor but she's not going to do anything. It's rather hard to talk about it with the kids in tow and they always are. I can't think of anyone to have them...

Aw, you've got a good'un there . See you later.

Bloody x-posts...

Is there nobody who can have them for an hour? Could dh start work late/ leave work early one day?

Sorry Berrie, really have to go. I'll be back later x

Berrie, did your day get any better?
I've just spent the last two hours designing and printing party invitations for DS2's 4th birthday party. Bloody hard work this party malarkey. We've booked the venue and two entertainers because it's a joint party with a nursery friend so we may have 40+ three and four year olds coming
Low-key party next year, methinks.

It did a bit thanks.
Lordy 40? Rather me than you. I've not done a party yet.

A lot of parents will stay so it won't be too bad.
How are you today?

Not great.
Just sobbed all over the Dr. She's given me the mini pill. My blood pressure was not good enough for the combined pill. Just wondering when to start it though because of holiday.

How is the mini pill supposed to help? Stabilising your hormones? I'd start it straight away unless you're worried about side effects.
Maybe being away and getting a bit of sun will help too. Just having DH around so you're not coping on your own will help enormously won't it?

It should do.

So how does the mini pill work?

It's progesterone only. You take one every day with no break. Some people stop their periods altogether, some bleed irregularly. I've read some threads on here where it goes on for DAYS...if you miss your slot for pill taking for more than 3 hours then you could get pregnant.

No, I meant how does it help with your depression. That is why you're taking it isn't it? Or have got the wrong end of the stick.

Oh sorry...well, I get depressed at ovulation and menstruation. If the hormones are causing my depression then they should be more balanced.
I'm slightly concerned as I was terribly depressed during both pregnacies which I always associated with the progesterone. But I'm better in the latter half of my cycle which is the progestrogen bit so maybe I'll be ok.
