Had a major blow out yesterday . Think it's stress and worry waiting find out if cps feel there's a case and what charges police are convinced but its jog up to them ( I'm bringing the case )

TheHumancatapult · 28/05/2013 08:35

Icb sorry about your mumSad but I so get you on the shopping is more fun now

Tortoise hope dr can give something help you feel better

Am back on it today yesterday's blow out has given me gut ache that's how much I over eaten . Have decided am going focus on my holiday instead something positive

ICBINEG · 28/05/2013 09:10

human what is this with the CPS?

Will have fingers crossed regardless!

TheHumancatapult · 28/05/2013 10:10

I made some serious allegations against someone when was in my teens it was decided at time that it just lay on file as this was back in day where it was oh women etc asked for it

Ff long time and contacted by police as more come to light as more come forward over time will I be willing to carry on with it as obviously times changed police way more up today's and enlightened course I said yes I want make the bastard pay for what he done

So lots of questions etc they arrested while investigated and in Jan police said enough to send it to CPS with hope they come back with charges ( we are hoping for sexual abuse /attempted rape and rape but cps keep asking for longer to decide but should know by 12th June but had call yesterday they want longer hence my blow out

Tortoise · 28/05/2013 13:13

Sorry to read that Human Sad . I hope it will be sorted quickly.

Doctor has put me on antibiotics and steroids!

ICBINEG · 28/05/2013 13:15

Gosh that must be difficult. Is the endless delaying due to doubt though? Or is it more that it isn't making it to the top of the to do list so to speak?
Not sure which of those is actually worse....

TheHumancatapult · 29/05/2013 04:06

It's more investigation if they decide whether is or isn't in publics interest . Police are convinced there is a case but not up to them now

It's ok tbh most time deal just now and then bad day and pig out but shall cut back again and I have much be thankful about and look forward to

Though cut back need wait as I'm now guest of Nhs as had fall back pain got worse and with my history ended up in A&E seems I have fractured 2. Vertebrae luckily only minor ( that not hurt its the muscle spasms that di and two slipped disks so dosed to eyeballs on painkillers and Nhs not conductive to dieting < needs a coffee > dances of with the fariesGrin

Tortoise · 29/05/2013 08:18

Oh no Human, ouch sounds painful. Hope you are back home soon x

Well Dr was right! She said cough might get worse as need to clear crap off chest. Was awake until 3am coughing. Fell asleep sat up, neck at funny angle. Now coughing badly again. Making my head hurt Sad and my neck hurts from funny angle sleeping!

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 29/05/2013 08:48

Human, tortoise sorry to hear you're both suffering. Human, that sounds painful. I don't know anything about slipped disks, do they get better on their own or will you need an operation? Tortoise, that sounds awful. Will you be able to catch up on your sleep? Is it half-term for you? I hope you've both got help looking after your children or are your older ones responsible enough to help out?

Icb,great shopping trip, what an ego boost. I'm sorry your mum couldn't buy anything but it's good news that she's still around and able to spend time with you and dd.

Human hope cps decision is to prosecute the bastard. I am so angry with the way women have been abused for so long (still are) and men have got away with it.

Half-term this week, kids are fighting a lot so I feel a bit drained.

ICBINEG · 29/05/2013 08:48

Oh no human that sounds really bad! How long will you be staying at the sleep free hotel of doom?

Tortoise · 29/05/2013 09:46

Yes it's half term, no chance of catching up sleep. Kids are all old enough to do stuff for themselves!
I feel guilty for not going anywhere with them this week. Was hoping to be well enough for beach trip tomorrow but right now not looking likely Sad . Can't go anywhere Friday so looks like being a crap half term.

Now have 2 very Sad girls. Just found their guinea pig has died Sad . She was 9 yrs old so got to a good age. RIP Toffee x

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 03/06/2013 07:36

Poor toffee, sorry to hear your news tortoise and I hope you're feeling better. How was half-term tortoise? Were you sick the whole time or did you get well enough to do anything with the kids. I had quite a busy week, i took dds into London one day which was fun but stressful.

lost .4lbs so BMi still healthy by less than a lb. Felt I deserved more but even a small loss is better than nothing.

Tortoise · 03/06/2013 07:50

Thanks Johnny. I'm still coughing a lot even though on last day of antibiotics. We managed one trip to the beach Saturday. Other than that we did nothing much all week.
I've gained 1lb which isn't surprising plus AF appeared last night. Week early again! Spoils my plans for this morning Wink. DC all back to school. DS1 in for half a day revision session. Just exams for him now.

OP posts:
Tortoise · 03/06/2013 11:05

Been back to the doctors this morning. Spent 10 mins on a nebuliser and got another 5 days of steroids! At least I can breathe now without being all wheezy and out of breath. Only lasts 5 hrs although Dr did say if needed I can use it this afternoon!

Currently sat holding my DS1s rat who is dying Sad. Think might have to get vet to put it to sleep. Poor little Freckle.

OP posts:
JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 03/06/2013 11:40

Are you sleeping better? That's always the worst thing about being sick when you're sleep deprived. Poor freckle (and ds1 who doesn't need this during exams).

1lb is ok during AF week. Have mine too so I am fighting urges to eat rubbish and generally slob around. Salad for lunch but I really fancy chip shop chips, the greasiest the better.

Tortoise · 03/06/2013 11:56

Once I get to sleep I'm ok. It's the coughing before that is annoying.
Mmm chippy chips! Good job it's a long walk to chip shop from here! Grin

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 03/06/2013 12:35

Sounds awful and you've had it for weeks too. Hopefully it'll be gone by the end of the five days.

Had an interesting lunch. Last week I bought some prawns and when I went to eat them couldn't find them. Assumed dh had eaten them which I thought was a bit strange, but not entirely impossible. So today I was just making my salad and I found the prawns with use by date of yesterday. I dithered about whether to throw them away but couldn't so I ate them. Hmm, let's hope I haven't poisoned myself. Either way it's good for the diet Grin

ICBINEG · 03/06/2013 12:42

ARGH.

Gone back over 10 stone...stupid double birthday weekend...(DD and DH)...

Also there were newborns at DD party, which has sent me funny in the head and led to much in the way of very bad eating habits. Hopefully it will be transient!

Anyway that is me back on the diet for a month

ICBINEG · 03/06/2013 12:44

Oh dear - sorry to hear about the lost pet.

Tortoise · 03/06/2013 12:45

I hope so!
Also hope your lunch stays put lol! I would have had to bin them. I can't eat meat once its out of date! I wouldn't eat prawns in date either. Grin

OP posts:
Tortoise · 06/06/2013 08:20

Bad bad start to the week. Chocolate in big bags at least once a day. AF stopped after 2 days. Bit odd. Was a sudden stop too.
Dogs haven't been walked for days which is very bad. Will aim to take them this morning after school run.

OP posts:
JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 06/06/2013 08:22

Hi tortoise, hope you're feeling better.

Icb hopefully it won't be a month. Did dd have a good party? 2 is such a lovely age. Dd2 is 2 as well and it's so lovely watching her learn about the world and trying to describe it.

Tortoise · 07/06/2013 14:21

I'm still coughing but feeling a lot better. But I'm not sure what my body is doing now. After 2 days of AF, nothing for 2 days, bit of blood last night after a wee (sorry tmi lol!), nothing this morning until now where there is a bit of bleeding again.
I'm not sure if side effect of mini pill or if there's a chance of being pregnant. I've got no one to talk to and I'm a bit scared. Guess tomorrow I should buy a test, or might have to be Monday. Don't want DDs to see. Plus small town and know people too well in chemists!

OP posts:
Tortoise · 08/06/2013 11:34

Well, test was negative so just side effects of pill etc I guess.
I know my bf would not have been happy if I was lol so probably best result.
