Fresh Start, no more losers.

[LoserNoMore]

Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

LNM, I've been a lurker on our thread but I want to offer my support. I have admired your strength but feel so sorry that you are having to go through so much at present.

I've had the awful stressy job situation and I suffer with painful back so I understand a little of what you are going through. I truly wish we had a magic wand to make it better for you but please don't lose hope. Life will get better for you.

For your back - do try A&E or an osteopath. I have been amazed at how effective a good osteopath can be and I've tried every treatment over the years.

LNM I have nothing helpful to add but I just wanted to offer my support.

Bloody hell talk about it doesn't rain but it pours, you can't catch a break can you?

I hope you're OK.

no, no date yet. last i heard my surgeon was putting my referral in writing to the consultant and i'd hear from them. i go away for a fortnight next thursday and my surgeon was going to tell them that so i'm guessing they won't manage to fit me in till i get back.

SAF - Please don't feel too bad about the last couple of days. It was just bad timing that woman chose to have a go at you, unfortunately these things do seem to occur at our most vulnerable moments. Have a nice time with ds. Get some tasty treats in and cuddle up with some dvds, play with Lego, whatever. He won't know it but he will be the one that gets you through this. Don't worry about the date yet, if there was a real urgency, you'd know by now. Take that as a good omen.

Oh...and next time you open a bottle of wine, share it with someone! That way you'll get a bit of a release without it leading to too much! (I mean that in a kind way btw, I'm not being nasty or sarcastic).

Agree with Laz. I'd be chewing my fingers off with that hanging over me SaF

LNM Hope you made a bit of recovery today

I think that's the trouble with 'copers' - we expect a huge amount from ourselves yet, when others are in similar situations, we fall over ourselves to help them. We take as much of their burden as we can. Don't worry SAF, I'm sure you weren't as bad as you think you were. And even if you were, you have every bloody right to be.

SAF, I'm sorry to hear the past couple of days have been pretty crap.

I'm in hospital, can't sleep but the drugs are so good. Going for scan in the morning so should know more.

Whilst being in hospital is horrible I'm glad you're getting the attention you need. Hopefully you will start to feel much better very soon.

Thinking of you.

oh and i'm so glad you're getting assessed lnm. obviously horrible it's necessary but so much better to get proper care and attention and know for sure what it is x

Lnm. Hope you get some resolution to back v soon. I know it's no fun but at least you will be in less pain if not pain free.

Sending you biggest

Thinking of you LNM. Hope they find out what is causing the pain.

Sending you and

Saf and LNM thinking of you both. Being in pain is awful, physical or emotional - it just engulfs everything else. We are all here for virtual hand holding. Keep posting, keep sharing your thoughts and worries x

chicken update - just taken them in and the lady there thinks that yes, they are both roosters. have left them there.

have to decide whether to just have a refund, wait on the next batch of exchequers maturing or take some beautiful little pekins instead. obviously i like the pekins but not sure how useful miniature eggs are really!

at both being roosters! One of mine isn't laying. I keep talking to her about it and explaining she has to earn her keep but she appears to be a delinquent. Another spends nearly all day trying to enter the house. Do you have that? She chases me to the back door and tries to skip past. I can't leave the door open at all because she's in like a shot.

(Sorry for hen diversion)

Back to thread. Any news LNM?

You're in the right place LNM. Hopefully they'll give you a better idea of what's going on. Try and enjoy being taken care of for a bit too

with any luck LNM will be on a lovely morphine drip and drifting on a cloud of pain free loveliness.

SAF - where you off to on hols? Anywhere hot n sunny?

Hi, hope you're all good. I just need distracted now. Unexpected turn of events that I've tried to type but can't. Will be leaving hospital tomorrow if blood pressure goes up. I'm sure hospitals automatically give me low blood pressure! What you all up to?

Hope the unexpected turn is positive for you and you're feeling better.

I'm having a wild rock and roll night and have made soup while drinking appletize. I may need to chuck the telly out of the window to liven shiz up.

I've also gained my degree! Can't believe that the non-academic thicko who left school with 2 gcses now has a proper science degree from a proper uni. Just got to stop expecting a phone call to hear its been a big mistake. I really need some self belief!

Fingers crossed you get home tomorrow, there is nothing like your own bed.

I think you deserve and .

Hi LNM, hope hospital food not too awful. Just finished watching a Pink Panther movie ... laughed a LOT. Especially at a bit when the steering wheel came off his car and he said carefully, 'I zink we could just...leave...zis...'ere.' And walks away.

Also watched George in the Jungle this pm with kids and we all fell about laughing. I'd never seen it before and was pleasantly surprised.

And did a bit too much in the garden today as well and will pay for it tomorrow, I think.

Sending you .

Kind of wish they had a [drugs] icon for you as well. Prescription painkillers, obviously.

Hope you sleep well and are being taken care of.

Wow well done chips, brilliant news. You should be very proud.

I'm missing my duvet and Saturday night pistachio nuts. Scratchy sheets and melted maltesers just don't cut it.

Thanks both

I'm v worried about you now. Malteasers should always cut it as they're so bloody lovely. I should drive up with crap soup, that'd make you appreciate the malteasers.

My mum is so proud too, anyone who gives us a sideways glance gets the story while i preen look embarassed.

Home tomorrow will do you the world of good. You own bed, privacy and smells of home is bliss. Crap soup smell not too homely .

Can't wait to get home and see the girls. Everytime I think about them I want to cry.

I do love maltesers but I want nuts god damn it!

Bless your mum, that's so sweet. Really happy for you.

Well you lot are terrible company I must say...it's only 2am fgs. All I have is a woman snoring loudly and footsteps in the corridor.

LNM - hope you get some sleep soon. Have been out drinking since 2pm myself, oops! Think I'm ready for my bed now!

Hope the 'unexpected turn of events' you referred to earlier isn't too serious.

My message has vanished dammit.
It was really sentimental and well-written too

I am, however, a tad concerned about your unexpected news. What's going on?

PM me the hospital and I'll fling some nuts in a jiffy bag too.
