hi verity how are you?

Ok, what about thurs 2nd Oct? Do you fancy coming here? Kids can "bond" (or fight!)over the toys and we can chat over coffee?
I am sad about the job, it did seem so fantastic, but it just does not fit in with my family life. Excited about childminding, had a couple of enquiries already adn not even started advertising yet!

Thanks again, guys.
Lou, getting together would be great! The days I'm off are Tuesday and Thursday, but Tuesday morning Rowan is going to day nursery so I get some time off. Bliss! So let me know whether you prefer any time Thurs or a Tues pm. Would be great to finally meet!
Verity, I have everything crossed for you and John. Really hope he gets it.
I need to face the music at work a bit. One of the things adding to my stress is the fear of the new job, which I think I start next week. Delaying it by going sick again is very tempting but it will be there waiting when I get back. And it's probably not a great thing for my new boss to think he's taken on a complete basket case! So will plough on for now (unless it gets really bad) and hope the reality is not as bad as my worst fear.
Where's Gill? Hope she is OK.

hi all
im just glad i was there at the right time jen. hope you get back on your feet soon. I agree with lou, you maybe better to take a couple weeks off, help get yourself back on your feet.
bet you cant wait to finish work lou. it such a shame cos that new job sounded so great at te time. but you can never tell til you ge into it.
We find out tomorrow if john has got the job he went for..... please keep your fingers crossed.

Oh Jen, I hope you are feeling more positive. I was exactly where you are back at the start of the year, crying over everything for no reason for hours on end. it is good to get it out, and good that you have recognised it. It can help to take time off work - i was signed off for 2 weeks by my GP. If you ever need to chat you know where I am.
Lets try and fix a date for start of Oct, once I finish work you could pop over with Row one morning when Lissy and Alex are at school?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Row by the way!
How is everyone else? Was also thinking we need to arrange a date for our Bounty meet up......

Gosh, the course sounds horrible, Lou. Surely no-one can concentrate for that long?!
Thanks for chatting the other night, V, sorry but you were just on at the wrong time! Good for me to blurt it all out like that though. And thanks for your msg on my wall afterwards.
Don't know why I was feeling low. I was doing the kids b/fast on Sunday morning (had been up for about an hour by then and been fine for that time) when I suddenly started crying. And I just couldn't stop! Don't know why really. Probably the culmination of a couple of years of ongoing stress, and finishing with H being the final straw. Although in my heart I think I knew it was not quite right with him, he filled a huge gaping hole in my life that I had not noticed before we met, but am now acutely aware of. I still feel an incredible sense of loss over him, and a sadness that can't be explained. If he asked me to go back I would in a heartbeat. Funny how I ended a 9 year relationship with little emotion other than relief, but a few months of a brief fling has left me with this emptiness.
Anyway, enough being introspective. Must move on. I saw my GP on Weds, and am back there in 2 weeks to see how I'm doing. Not sure what I want out of that, but felt I needed to go, since I had to call in sick Mon & Tues last week because I couldn't stop crying. Can't carry on like that. Although a lot better now.

12 hour first aid course in one day - 8.30 til 8.30! We did finish a bit early though thank god. Was very brain numbing!
Weather has been grim here too, on and off showers all weekend.
How is everyone?

good evening one and all...
glad I was around for you to chat to last night jen.... I think sometimes its good to have a wine induced conversaton... helps in getting it all off oyur chest.
glad your feeling better now.
12 hours of course lou... what were you training on.... "the sex life of a ping pong ball !?!.
the weather here is awful, has raining that hard that my street is like a river.
6/9/08 20:12
Hi all, I been on a 12 hour training course today - very dull.
Why you feelin low Jen? We need to arrange a meet up, I finish work in 3 weeks so we could arrange something for then...?

managed to stay dry for the BBQ, despite the odd shower!
What's everyone else been up to?
5/9/08 20:28
Oh, meant to say my weekend plans include a birthday BBQ" for Rowan who is 2 on Monday, so of course it will be beautiful sunshine here in sunny St Neots!!
5/9/08 20:25
3 full days at school??? Are you just rubbing it in? Alex asked me today when he could stay longer at school. Even he is frustrated with this ridiculous 'settling in' and we have another week of afternoons only. Sigh.
So, V, why are y our fingers crossed?
Sorry, on the wine and sure it shows
Very fed up. Have had a terrible week or so, feeling very down and crying a lot. Better now though hence can talk about it!
Oh, I see my facebook tab is flashing, is that you Verity? God, I'm a bit drunk. Sorry #

Well we have had floods and storms a plenty in my neck of the woods, this last couple of days...... and i here its heading in your direction ladies so buckle down that hatches cos your gonna need it.
What do you all have planned for the weekend., I odnt have anything planned as jonnie is shattered after 3 full days at school.
so will just lounge around tomorrow and off to work on sunday.





















Thanks guys!
I just did something really mean - Steve called to say he had been stuck at work till half 4 (meant to leave at half 3) and that he would be late picking up the girls from his mums as he still had to go to tesco to get some bits I asked for. I COULD have said I would get the kids, but a selfish bit of me deep inside decided not to so I could have an hour of peace to myself! Is that bad? Ah well!!
Hope you are all well, Lissy had her school pic done yesterday and we had the preview back already - it is SOOOOO cute! (I am slightly biased!) she looks so grown up already. Where has my baby gone? SOb!
