Feeling invisible .....wave at a mate!

[Reprint]

Following on from Trish's good idea (and by request) this thread is the place to play 'bag a buddy' 'wave at a mate' or 'grab someone else's grip for a minute'

The original idea from the invisble thread was that it would be a brilliant idea if people had a friend they could pair up with ....just so someone is going to wave at you when you feel down.
It needed a thread.
This is it .....................

I had cottage pie for the first time in years, proper comfort food although a chippy tea is delicious.

Mmmm, cottage pie. We're having garlic & rosemary potatoes, with....whatever box I can find in the freezer

After my initial burst of posting energy this morning, I now have to face my inevitable virtually invisible thread. Ok, so not the most interesting of subjects, maybe a bit niche, but was really hoping for some input. Bah humbug.

Although GoatPeter proper cheered me up earlier, so thanks for that

Where is your thread UD?

Ill put my oar in!

We are doing Chat in Relationships. Thats weird!
Oh well. At least we wont disappear after 90 days!

MrsCakePremonition. I was wondering if you would arrive. No, it isnt exactly as you described or envisaged, but never mind I dont think? Crowd control never goes as planned does it! [remembers own mum who tried to shephard a crowd and failed miserably as we all warned her!]

We had Cottage Pie too!

Bunraku sorry you had no sun, perhaps you might get some tomorrow. We have had so much rain the last few days I thought I was going to have to grow flippers!

I am thinking about doing some knitting tonight, need to get my bits finished for the WoolyHugs.

BOOsterseat great, more Yorkshire people - I miss the motherland.

Bunraku, I think an octopus policy of one buddy per tentacle seems fair. What if you're a centipede though?!

Can someone please tell me more about boy tights?

I think if anyone can come up with a decent place to put it, then the powers Towers might be persuaded to shift it again. Relationships was their suggestion..... I was stumped.

Thank you perp
Have literally just thrown it all into a pile and given up for this evening!
Tea & cake are very very welcome though!

Hi Reprint, Harold Lloyd, uncomfortably, and everyone.

Waving tiredly and emotionally at you all.

Whats up, Cat

Waves at everyone who's come in for the evening session.

Seconds the what's up Cat

Thanks Reprint & Hump for the good advice. Sensible buggers

Are you ok cat?

Reprint, the dribbler sends a dribbly kiss

Rubbish day looks as if it has been difficult for a few of us?

My line manager had a go at me in front of another manager. It was very uncomfortable. She was annoyed because I am on annual leave at the same time as one of my staff for 3 days next week, and the person we have to cover is a bit weak. But I have organised support for her. Apparently this isn't good enough and I have to org back up just in case the support is off sick.

The only reason I am off at same time as my colleague leaving one person alone is because they are both temps. When we booked our leave, we also had 2 permanent members of staff covering the work.

I think she expected me to offer to work. But I worked all last half term. I need to spend time with dd!

Sorry mega self pity post

I mean I have organised support for the one person.

But I have to get support for the support!

It could go on forever!

The upside of relocation to the R-zone is the absolute freedom to jump around shouting Leave The Bastards, cat

Mark of a shite manager Cat, she needs reminding of her RIP and PIP principles.

Settle down with us, we have gin

Am hoping that others who felt invisible from yesterdays thread will feel brave enough to join?

Everyone is worthy in my book. And important.

She is alright usually ( tough but fair). She is v stressed at the moment and took it out on me.

DP has made me veggie cottage pie which I am going to go and eat with a huge glass of red. And snuggle him.

I may be back later, just wanted to check in with all you buddy wavers.

Ps I love stgoatpeter

Pps thank you for support, is appreciated

Not sure how we can put out signposts now trish since that thread went over 1000. Perhaps we need to go trawling ;p;

Marketing! We need marketing!!

I could put a card in the Post Office window?

;p; ????? what????
shouls have been : lol

If we keep nattering at this rate we will stay up in active convos, and hopefully people will see.

JOIN IN EVERYONE!!

UD - which is your thread?

Sorry to hear that fright.

fright It can be the hardest thing in the world to just keep on trucking when all you want to do is hide in a corner and cry. I feel for anyone who is in that position.
It is just so unrelenting, and always that feeling that if you let go even for a little bit, you will lose it once and for all.

I can offer but it sounds as though what you really need to do is offload.
