This is what happens, jynier

Continue uninterrupted....

midwife, is there any way you can get away by yourself for a bit? leave a move maybe saying you have run away from home and take yourself off to nice cheap b&b walk along the beach for 2 days and just get some breathing space? My fantasy escape is the night sleeper to penzance, and st ives for 3 nights. If only!

I'm up because I'm unwinding from work........
Plans for today include school run then nothing all day

nothing more therapeutic than walking along a beach by yourself in the pouring rain in the evening

tried and tested

Cafeito I have a mother simlar to you but too scared to do that thread.

I had a threapy session via mind. The guy just looked at me with a head tilt !! When I replied to his question of did you.have a imaginy friend as a child

Me : yes and I still chat to him

My sister howled so much she fell off the sofa !! sister has lots of talk sessions with phyiscarits

What type of choclate did you eat cafeito

Welcome trinn

2 x crying babies sooo tired x

welcome trinn

I had an imaginary car, stars. It was a yellow austin 7. I spoke to him. was green & blacks almond chocolate. They really need to stop the promotion in waitrose right now, it's making me fat . It's so bad though - I have eaten just sugar today. and had 3 coffees. coffee + sugar. day in day out for about a month now.

ria 2!? twins? how old?

I minimise contact with my mother and if it weren't for DS it would be no contact. It's just very odd with her. She has done everything opposite-ly with my sister though, so it's like I was the failed run and the sister has had the opposite treatment the whole way along. My grandparents had to call SS to try andprotect me when I was very small she was an alcoholic, violent, lunatic. Better now I think. I don't drudge it up at all - but it actually seeps into my life incipiently without my awareness until I stand back and realise, eh, that's why I think the way I think.

Therapy can help - but only in the past year did it make sense to me why I thought in certain patterns

read something the other day that said ''the way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice''

I can understand Cafecitio its hard I found up to only a couple of years ago that I constantly did decsuions that I thought mother would approve of. So sad ref your childhood. I had a smothering one every procted on a bubble geeze I didnt even know other children had grandparents till someone said juniour school they went to see theres at the weekend.

Sercets were my mothers downfall and when I found 2:5 yrs ago it gave me a exuse to leave her grip iykwim.

Havent seen her for nearly two yrs. Still getting my head round the betrayal.

Would love to have more therpay but cant afford it.

Totaly understand when someone says somthing or does something and you say or think like your mother dam thats scarly

Well we had a massive homemade cooked breakie with 2 large mugs of tea for our dinner. Think I have made a brew for me n dp every forty mins since midday.

Penny sweets are my achilkies heel though.
< eyes up dds left behind lovehearts sweets that are sat on the side of the sofa looking rather lost and lonley >

... Hi! ...

Morning jynier how are you

Hello.Morning, evening, nighttime whatever it is to you.
I am fed up with the heat, it's around 34 already, ridiculous humidity, I am getting too many hot sweats and I've got a tooth access. I need to go to the clinic to get some ABX, but the only ones that will work mean you can't drink .
I am going to a wedding on Friday so my artful plan is to only have a three day course

Hi rip, its a frosty night here in London, so am a bit jealous of your 34 degrees. Where are you? Hope you have a pool/sea handy. Just got up and made marmite toast and tea for me and DS, we read for a bit and now he is going back off. Hi Jyner! How are you doing?

Hi rip toothach is the worst hope its sorted by friday. Dont think I could cope in that heat. I would need to be permantly sitting in a bath of icecubes slurpling blue slush puppies

Have been lurking on here all evening; find it so sad that some of you do not have good relationships with your mothers! I didn't, either, but found that it made me determined that my DCs wouldn't go through the same experience!

Had a great time today, as usual, with my GC - I absolutely adore them!!!

Am fine when I am with them but, once I am back home, all the sadness wraps itself around me once again. Very painful anniversaries are coming up; they don't make any difference to the awful grief but makes me aware of how long it has been since I have seen my darling loved ones. Would love them to walk in now!

Sorry to be so maudlin.

Isn't Mumsnet great - even at 2.45am, people are chatting. I'm up because I'm in the middle of MC no 3, in pain, can't sleep.
Raided the medicine cabinet for a lemsip (only form of paracetamol I can find, still can't quite bring myself to crack open the 'bru'fen until what I suspect is confirmed.
Will have to be up with brave face on it tomorrow as have school run and toddler to entertain, without his normal swimming lesson to tire him out. Have not had any sleep so far tonight and am distrubing DH with my tossing and turning so have got up for a bit.

BT - how absolutely dreadful for you! Surely you should be having medical assistance?

Best wishes

rip is in kuala lumpur - imagine it's a stifling 34. sorry for the toothache

jynier - don't apologise- I find it strange, don't know if you find the same, how in one second it seems like only yesterday that they were still here, and then you realise how long it has been and can't believe it... and then another second, it feels like a distant dream, unreal. I find the concept of time very weird when it comes to losses lke that. sometimes it's only yesterday, sometimes it's painfully long ago and frightening that 'forgetting' is a potential.

oh bakingtins so sorry to read your post here to handhold a bit

decided to not sleep at all tonight, can't keep missing lectures or labs and need to 'reset' my clock. loads of work to do, but plan for tonight is to completely sort out my apartment. am currently cleaning my floor in kitchen and living room. and MNing. and messing about on itunes.

(((for those in pain))) both psychologically and physically.
I am off to teach my 'fugees. I enjoy it once I get there, but can't be arsed driving half an hour to be met by the blank face of the woman who runs the centre.
I've been doing it for a couple of months now, but she seems surprised to see me every single Tuesday and Thursday.

Handholding too

cafecito did you make it too the lab today

What do you teach, rip?
