Omg
I have had officially shittiest day on record and one of worst weeks ..
I had an exam today in remote location and snow was so bad no car would attempt to go , no taxi no bus. I left house 7 30 trying to get there and made it there 10 minutes before 10 o'clock. Exam start was 10 AM.

I have walked, run , catching random buses, got there with my feet soaked wet so sat exam with bare feet..removed socks and boots. Half of people were late and no extension is given so chances to pass are slim.
I am in shock

And ofcourse tomorrow is DS operation so the race to survive is still on.

Oh Teens that does sound shitty, hope you're ok?

Snowman I could have written that myself lol

I'm wanting to text him back, but only to arrange getting my car out of garage. I don't want to react to his text, I just want it to be business like. Does that make sense? But then I'm not wanting to text him either, bloody hell this is shit

Basseting · 08/03/2018 14:17

Teens sending you love and ((())).
I am so sorry, what is your ds op for, did you say?
try not to worry about the exam, done now (sounds crap conditions tho)

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 08/03/2018 14:44

Nightmare Teens!! At least you made it though. Well done for persevering through the snow. Can’t believe it is still so bad in some places this week! We had a couple of days and now it’s back to normal. It’s causing
mayhem!

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 08/03/2018 14:46

Curragh how urgent is the car situation? Could you choose not to reply to this message, delete it and then send your own message about the car another day? At least that way you’re not answering him if that makes sense?!

curraghgold · 08/03/2018 14:55

Not desperate for the car at all, its in his garage clean and ready to be sold when the weather is better (convertible). But he mentioned he wanted it out of his garage when he left, so that leaves the door open for further communication in the future and I really want that door shut!

I've deleted his text and not replying still.... god this is so hard

Oldbrook that roadrunner cartoon is so funny. Sorry you have mouth ulcers. They are painful things aren't they? I have a mouthful of them and got my period as well today so have cramps too. Lucky you and Seshi being able to sleep all weekend. Sounds bliss.

Ravens hope you have a wonderful long weekend away. Sounds fab.

Bloody you have gotten to Day 27 which shows amazing self restraint. Seriously well done.

Belonger don't beat yourself up. Although I'm sad you are sad it is nice to see you are human as well as you always show such good self ŕestraint.

Anxious sorry I'm not near 6ft but have been told I give great hugs so here is another one from me (((())))

NK1cf53daaX127805d4fd5 · 08/03/2018 15:32

Oliking sorry to hear you're struggling.

Rhubarb I found Day 9 and 10 excruciating.

Ooer Basseting

Welcome Curragh and Snowman we are a lovely bunch on here

NK1cf53daaX127805d4fd5 · 08/03/2018 15:33

Teens sounds like a nightmare day. Huge hug ((()))

curraghgold · 08/03/2018 15:56

Thanks NK how many NC days are you on?

Basseting · 08/03/2018 15:59

Nk aunt flo also visiting so I guess it is all hormonal.

NK has just sent me a msg which really upset me anyway so that's him wiped even as a displacement person

Teensandfuture · 08/03/2018 16:43

Aunt flo is not due to visit for couple of weeks but I have stomach cramps lackofsexsymptom

Feel I'm coming down with a cold, no surprise after this morning's ordeal.

DS's OP is on thumb, bad fracture during training. Meant to be done under local anaesthetic but he's scared, wants to get general one. I called hospital to ask about it they said if he wants general then the op will have to be at different location at a later date. We already lost a week-ideally OP should have been done straight away so guess DS will have to grit his teeth and do it tomorrow.

I ofcourse want him to be as comfortable as possible but we need OP done ASAP.

Basseting · 08/03/2018 16:59

ah. poor chap. I guess it is worth trying a local? he could look away etc. safer / less recovery than general too. hope he gets on okay.

Teensandfuture · 08/03/2018 17:08

Oh and by the way

Happy international women's day dear ladies!

Here is to our resilience, perseverance and dignity 🌷🍷🍹

And ofcourse don't ever forget we have crowns on 👑

Basseting · 08/03/2018 17:19

Teens I will raise a glass to that too.
I am by no means anti-men. I have a ds of 13 who is becoming a really wonderful addition to the male species.
But goodness the world would be different if there were more women in power/represented.
Happy International Women's Day indeed.

Bloodyuselessatthinkingofaname · 08/03/2018 17:43

teens congrats on even getting and doing that exam today !

Bloodyuselessatthinkingofaname · 08/03/2018 17:43

getting to I mean teens

NK1cf53daaX127805d4fd5 · 08/03/2018 17:55

Lol Curragh I'm not on any day. I'm back in contact with my NC. I actually don't know where I am or what the situation is but we are enjoying a bit of banter.

curraghgold · 08/03/2018 17:57

I'm starting to wobble.. one text from my NC and I'm a mess again, I've written out so many messages but not sent any of them, yet!!

curraghgold · 08/03/2018 17:58

NK I think that place is worse than NC sometimes...

Basseting · 08/03/2018 18:18

If a text has just made me cry do I say so or keep quiet?

curraghgold · 08/03/2018 18:22

Basset I cried when I got my text too, nope I'm not bloody telling him or texting him back

Snowman I also find myself looking at his "last active" on Facebook. So ridiculous. He is coming to an event in a couple of weeks - I invited him (before I went NC), but as more of a "group invite" thing.

I am intending to look fabulous, be extra fabulous with everyone and show him exactly what he is missing. I know that sounds immature, but I almost need that narrative in my head to keep me going!

Hugs to everyone and strength to us all on IWD.

Bloodyuselessatthinkingofaname · 08/03/2018 20:36

teens surely they can give a little sedative as well for the op ?
