I may lose some battles but I'll win the war.

Hey hun I am sorry I din't mean to sound like a nag, I know only too well how it feels when everything goes against you and crashes in on you ....I spend my entire life thinking great I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and then bang some f*cker (and I don't necessarily mean a human F*cker) comes along and spoils it or ruins it or just kicks me when I'm down....I have a brother that's absolutely loaded, while Mal and I live in a drafty cold council house that's nothing short of falling to pieces, it's freezing and even with heating on full (which costs me a small fortune to run) it's still always freezing but you know what I wouldn't swap for a single second with my brother, all his money and big house and everything else hasn't made him happy,. he's a miserable old git and unlike my sister who's always on the beg from him, I would sooner go without than have to go to him for help, I don't need him and won't spend my life being grateful to him.....I came into this life with nothing and will leave with nothing except the love of my wonderful husband and children and some really great friends.
So like I said didn't mean to nag ya, I know it's hard and I would be the first to cave, just want ya to know I care enough to let you know if you're drifting off plan....and as for your brother, how I'd like to give him a boot up the jacksie....how mean ....I hope it gets sorted this weekend for ya sweetie, I'd certainly hate to be in your shoes right now hun ...I know I can't be of any practical help being so far away, but I'm always here if ya need me :hug99: xxxx

Oh Lily I didn't think you were nagging and anyway I have asked to be cajoled/nagged etc to keep me going.

I had just been bottling up my anger at darling bruv and you lit the blue touch paper I'm afraid.

Thanks for caring. I'll have to see how I get on tomorrow.

 

[Purple Patsy]

Thank you all ladies. W/end was too short as usual. But I have indoor plumbing again. YIPPEE

I'm only supposed to be on here at lunch time but can't resist. Was gutted when all my attempts to get back on line failed. Not to mention the 2 wasted calls to BT call centres and being diverted to foreign parts to have someone I couldn't quite understand read from their technical scripts on how to fix this. None of which actually helped.

Can't wait for the replacement modem to arrive.

How has your w/end been

 

[Saltdog]

Hey there Patsy,

Sorry I've not been on in a wee while. Was wallowing in self pity all of last week and out digging my garden all weekend. I'm back now though and I'm trying to catch up with everyone.

I feel your pain with BT. We're having a few issues at home with our Homehub at the moment as the WiFi signal keeps falling off for no reason. Last week I lost my temper and gave up after being on hold for nearly an hour. I'll probably get back to them soon to follow it up but I need to set aside a fair bit of time before putting myself through that again. I hope your replacement modem works. I had to get a new one a while back because my old one never worked with a MacBook. Very odd! The new one works fine most of the time though.

Keep on keeping on!

Kev X

Hope you're having a good day. I know you've got a lot on lately, but please come back. We need positive Patsy! :bighug:

Hello everyone :wavey:

Whilst I have been on here and posting on other peoples diaries I have been avoiding my own. :wave_cry: I can't really explain why but I think it has something to do with having nothing new or fun or even positive to write. I'm just a bit down at the moment.:raincloud: I don't want to do another post when all I do is whinge and moan about nothing really. Now I know many of you lovely folks have said that it's my diary and therefore I should moan if I want to. Trouble is I don't want to I'm sick of being a torn faced b1tch on here and I want to snap out of it.

At WI last night I had a STS which I have to say hasn't really helped my mood. I have lost and regained the same pound 10 times over since well before Christmas.

So I think I'm going to go for Slimpods after seeing how well Jackie is doing. I'm a bit scared though as I think I've been using SW as a crutch for a while now. I'm worried that I will just fall over without it. Is it possible to do both? Or will this just mean that neither gets a proper chance to work?

I think I'm the world's least organised person and my house and garden will attest to that. I have clothes in every size from 12 to 28 and have not even managed to sort them out. I always mean to but never get round to it. Likewise I need to springclean but as everything needs doing I don't know where to start so end up doing nothing. My garden is an absolute jungle and I don't stand a chance of getting it back to any semblance of order. Again I have no clue where to start and as soon as spring arrives it will get even more overgrown and I'll get more disheartened.

So if anyone can give me a and help me get my act together I'd be very grateful. Right now I feel like a complete failure.

 

[tinks*]

Oi misses you are not a failure!!

Look how far you have come. You have so much on at the moment and your still standing and maintaining.

You can moan away as much as you want too. You are so nice and friendly to us all. So we want to be here for you.

As for positives, even if you find one positive out of the day its good. As for mine, I have had a bag of maltesers in my draw at work for over a week. And there still there.

Or even I read something happy.

You can do it and will do it. One step at a time. Write a list of what you want to achieve big or small, so you can tick it off and feel like your getting somewhere. Even if the first thing on your list is to make one, you can tick it off.

How about planning your meals in advance for the week or day? Look at other peoples diaries for inspiration.

Remember you can do this.

 

[Purple Patsy]

Thanks Tinks

Aww, you poor thing! as Tinks said you're not a failure. you've done so well to get to where you are now.

I don't know much about slimpods, but I think that if you did mix it with SW it would still probably work.

I too have been feeling a bit down lately (just lots of litle things and my OH needs an op in the summer, so worrying)

But I want to give you a :bighug: and encourage you to not give up! If you believe you can do it, you will.

 

[JackieN]

:bighug: :wavey: hello stalker

Can't see any reason why you can't do both Slimpod and Sw others do and it works well for them slimpods sort out the head, as you know from my diary (and my blog if you've read it) there are a few ups and downs but do it properly and stick it out and you will reap the rewards

You know where I am if you need me xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you manage to feel a bit brighter too. I think it's partly due to dull dull February days. Defo my worst month mood wise. I could do with a bit more sunlight. But then when it is sunny I can't go out in in cos I'm immunosuppressed. I can't win.

Hope you OH is OK

I can't believe I nearly missed your post. It crossed with mine to LMC. Thanks so much Jackie. I've gone ahead and ordered the one I discussed with you yesterday. (Sorry didn't feel up to the other bit you PM'd me about at the mo) Hopefully it will come by the w/end and I can make a start.

Thanks again for all your hints and tips I really appreciate it.

I've also followed Tinks tip and made a list nothing deep and meaningful just to try to prioritise tasks round the house. ie making a start. I'm starting small though so hopefully as I score things off it'll give me a boost.

I'm so gonna fight this!!!! :argh: My rant earlier has been cathartic I think and ready for action again.

Think I'll go home now and get maybe even one thing off my list done.

I want my new modem and I want it now. Didn't come today though. :wave_cry:

Bye for now.
