AUGUST 2008 - Relax and Enjoy

[TwilightSurfer]

LOL! I didn't want to put any pressure on "you know who."

That's a normal fear to have; I get it a lot during waves of grief-related stuff and it frightens me because of my mum's obvious depression issues. Buckets is right though, the only way to determine which is which is to give yourself time and space to find out what you are feeling. Easier said than done with your hectic life, I know. Maybe Buckets' minibreak suggestion is the answer

I do see what you mean but if you keep running you might find years have gone by and it wasn't depression at all but that you have worn yourself ragged (or worse, haggard) worrying and not actually living your life, never thinking about the intangible stuff. On the other hand if you kept running and it was depression, it could all come crashing down at the worst possible moment. These things can't always be prevented but you and J could have contingency plans, remedial plans and coping plans ready to go go go should it happen. Are you taking to him about it all?

Am evil woman, DH's grandma has been phoning all night and I've not been answering DH is out and I just know she'll be phoning to say thank you for yesterday like she always does and I just don't feel like talking to anyone, let alone having the same conversation twice.

Duh, talking.

Buckets, I very rarely answer my phone A. I can never find the feckers and B. I spend 10hrs a day with an ear piece in either speaking to members of the public or cops and trust me NOBODY ever phones the police for something nice!! Therefore you are NOT being unreasonable in any shape or form in my eyes.

J more astute that I give him credit for and is being brilliant at the moment I am a lucky lucky gal

fecking hell she's back on asking for more recipes!!!

Dizzy can't you tell her nicely they're all top-secret and point her in the direction of a half-decent cook book (or google!)

Am sorry you are feeling sweetie, I have to say your friend has some cheek asking you to help sort her car boot stuff at all, even without the added re Gabriel. Doesn't she know how fecking busy you are ALL THE TIME Re Bucket's excellent idea of a solo train journey, the 6.05 from Dundee on Tuesday would get you to Leicester in time for lunch and probably bankrupt you

Would love to stop and chat but working tomorrow so need to get my stuff sorted and get to bed. 2-day weekends suck ass, especially ones like the one we've just had, weather so rubbish we haven't been anywhere/done anything except watch films and do jigsaws.

Love to all, be back soon xxx

working tomorrow too darling and sitting her composing a begging letter so the sodding SRU don't take our rugby tickets off us! You're only allowed to buy 4 apparently and we've got 8 so I've to write in and appeal it

shall have a think about where I can whisk myself off too however I am pathetic enough to admit that I'd prefer to be with J when I'm off as we see so little of each other due to shift

No need to that you'd like to spend time with your DH. You do seem quite fond of him

Good luck with the tickets. Seems daft that you could buy so many if you're not supposed to! Sweet dreams x

ah he'll do - well at least I think he's a bit of a keeper

night all if I haven't mentioned it before, you're all great and thank you

Hi all. Just dropping in quickly. Last few days have been super hectic with birthdays and total chaos. Plus DP and I still ill. Rotten rotten timing. Really hope DP takes a sick day tomorrow!

Seb's birthday do yesterday. the cupcakes I made went down well, as did the cake although it was lopsided Sister sent S a big old playmobil set for his birthday!
Haven't stopped to catch up properly sorry. ALso just found out that a friend of DP's family is on MN. Am going to have to about some stuff if I don't want to be found out. She's not someone I trust too much - if she knows something the whole world knows. Bugger. Oh well.

Dizz where's this questioning person??

Queenie you didn't share with her your screen name did you? I've told loads about MN but I always include the fact that I will never tell them my screen name!

Dizzy I think that was the worst thing for me about having PND after DS in that I'd been depressed before and knew how hard it was for me to work my way out of it and get better. The thought of having to do all of that again was unbearable at the time. I was depressed by the thought of being depressed. But as the others have said probably better to know than not know. Naturally next month is going to be very tough for you so take it easy on yourself and let us know whatever we can do. We are always here at least virtually!

VG a nice thought but said friend is about 5ft nothing and so I'm not sure too much would fit! Glad you had fun in Rome. I love Italy. DH and I were just saying the other day how we'd like to go to the lakes in Italy but not really sure when that will happen.

QoD glad S had a good birthday and hoping that your DP is at home with you today.

Checking in and running out.

I love my job! Playing on Mumsnet (the helicopter parent thread is brilliant) while watching for data files to move very very slowly. And getting paid for it.

Evening. Crazeeeee day, non-stop running around. Supposed to be off to pilates this evening but not heard from DH so i suspect he will not be home in time. Also he phoned this morning to say he has to go to Barrow tomorrow instead of thurs so i can't make the Northern meet

dizz hope things are looking up today lovely . {{{{hugs}}}}

Sorry to hear of illing peeps . DD1 came into our room last night and said she had something up her nose. That'll be snot then

Shit, just burnt the pizza for the girls tea . Laters....

I have order TWO new bras! Please Please Please allow at least one of them to fit. Having almost no boobs at all is a total pain in the butt when purchasing bras. NOBODY makes them for us UN-ENDOWED ladies.

Crisper sounds like your DH and my DH are working the same job.

Have just received an email that our Christmas photos will be taken WEDNESDAY!!!! Lord only knows what we are going to be wearing. Guess I'll be shopping later tonight.

Still not sure if R has a bug or just IBS due to too many not completely chewed almonds. Her diaper was mostly solid this morning but still rather full of the nutz. Made some homemade beans & rice soup for lunch, which she wolfed down, along with some applesauce. I'd say that plus the yogurt she had for breakfast should be tummy-rific.

Back to laundry....or something. My ADD is REALLY bad today.

Just booked a massage for a week from this Wednesday. See....A.D.D.....

Hellooo Anyone around?

:) Evening :)

Been busy Hots?

Yep am now relaxing with a cup of tea. Such a bugger you can't come to Leicester tomoz, haven't seen you for aaaages

Wotcha oops, how's DD1? hope she's feeling much better

TS i reckon a couple of strategically placed garlands of ivy should do it for the pics
