I will Amber, you will recognise me by the fact that I will probably be snarling at my DC's, or frantically searching for a lost one 
.
Am feeling slightly cheered by Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man atm. Yummy.
Please hang around mrssheep, who are you on Pinterest?
The j brands are definitely going back, I think it's the weird jodphury bit around the knees that spoil them. I am warming again to the skirt though, I tried it on with a few things from my wardrobe and it looked nice.
I popped into 100%design exhibition yesterday and saw some fab house stuff. What I really fell in love with though, was these kimono robes! utterly beautiful. I have no idea how much they are but may be one for my Christmas list. I think I am going to bite the bullet on the Gucci halter neck too Marsha, it doesn't look like it will ever be reduced. I love that sweater btw. Coat looks nice too but hard to see what you mean about the collar online.

I've decided that after the MU lunch, I'm taking myself off to Selfridges to get some nice new make up to replace some of the tatty old things I currently have. It will be my special treat to myself

MrsSheepiness There's not a minimum contribution rule so we'd all love to share in your purchases and general fashion news. What's your pin name if you are okay to post/PM it? What is your style in general? What designers/shops do you like?
Novice Hoping things settle, sometimes it is just as healthy to let things go as it is to have a big 'post row debrief'. I'm not big on the soul baring stuff either- been there, got the poster' thirty years ago as a student re the talking till 3 a.m deep and meaningful stuff! Great letter from your school. What an achievement of yours.
Decam so sorry to read about the house. How frustrating.
Marsha I hear you re your recent visit w/ family. I had the same issues re my Fathers disinterest at times. Hope you can shake it off and feel happier about it all soon.
Sleep Hard work for you. Hope a nice pressie is coming your way.
One feel better soon. Do as the Doctors say and convalesce

Marsha That's it really in a nutshell, changing your response to protect yourself from falling into that gap of not getting what you are hoping for.
I didn't perceive you as complaining about anything, nor being unreasonable. Being an adult child w/ your own children is always going to make things different. Infrequent visits place huge pressure on everybody don't they? to you.
One Go see your doctor. MN is full of people merrily self diagnosing when in fact a HCP would advise you to seek advice for queries such as yours. Write it all down and present it factually w/ your own notes arranged as a kind of time line.
Found you MrsSheep and I have joined your flock. Love the Chanel and all the other pins I liked.

at shop thinking of me. I'd love to go and see all 80 gromit a but no way am I queuing for 6 hours!
sleep you have my total sympathies. I do a fair amount of weekends alone when dh is on call and it is hideous.
novice hope you and dh have sorted things. I hate having arguments. We tend to bicker rather than argue as such but often one of us will end up laughing as we realise how totally unreasonable we are being! It's so hard when you're both working and trying to manage the home. I admitted to dh last night that I'm unlikely to ever go back to work as although it has it's moments of boredom and I miss one aspects of working, I just don't miss all the juggling of the other stuff.
one without knowing too much about what you're wondering about, I would recommend broaching the subject with your GP or specialist. Obviously this all depends on whether you have a sympathetic doctor or not. Feel free to pm me.
Must go as am likely to be woken early by an excited birthday boy!

I know mig I wasn't asking for a diagnosis , just how best to approach the GP about it. I'm not yet daft enough to convince myself I have all the ills in the world, I just really think it'd be worth ruling this particular one out
You are right though, factual is best.

Be warned, I'm on phone again!
Dec sorry about the house, v disappointing.
Hello MrsSleeiness
amber too right. Can't wait to see your handbag in Dec.
shop how's the vodka? Be ware of pissed online shopping.
The D and G skirt is way out of my price range but to die for.
linus so kind of you to offer but what if it didn't fit? I like the paler one but it looks a bit summery to me. Will keep searching.
DH is out all day too tomorrow ( doing a sky dive for kids charity so can't complain) I'm on rugby duty, eek! Slightly concerned about him jumping out of an aeroplane but trying not to think about it. He told me he has checked his life insurance 
. Will be relieved when he gets home.
