Hard indeed and that need for help wont go away anytime soon.Your friend is going to need a lot of support to get over this both the attack and her mothers o/d but hopefully her mum will get the professional help she needs now too.

Take care of yourself its easy to become overloaded.

@KitKatKitty  what awful news… its never nice to lose a source of income but at Christmas its twice as hard.

The problem with being equal and being all paid the same is that we’re not really are we.. If you could imagine studying for 6 or 7 years to become a vet or a surgeon and finding out that the guy down the road who empties the bins gets paid as much as you do …Well why would anyone want to put in the effort?

To be equal would be lovely but its a…[Read more]

I remember once they had just take a load of blood work from me and as the nurse turned her sleeve caught the tray and the whole lot fell to the floor.. They had to do it all again, I bruise really easily and my arms ended up black and blue for a week.

I will be doing my Christmas shopping next weekend so that I can get it all wrapped and sent out in time.

But I dont indulge in any Christmas treats until December..

I do like seeing the Christmas ads come out though and John Lewis always does nice ones, I think the special K one was downright patronising suggesting that all ladies should try to…[Read more]

Work to live dont live to work.

Go to any graveyard,  the stones say ,loving mother, beloved daughter , cherished wife.. not one says great career woman, top manager or best breadwinner…

I love my credit card for buying from amazon etc it gives more protection than just a bank transfer. But I pay it in total each month as the bill comes in that way Im never tempted to buy more than I can afford to pay for.

As for Christmas I budget, each week from household money I put aside at least €10 and by the time I cash in my saving pot I…[Read more]

I have never been on a diet and I never intend to do so. I always remained the same weight, only gaining when I was pregnant and then loosing the weight again soon after.

When I devleoped graves disease I lost about 15 kilos in 6 weeks, and looked like death my bones sticking out all over it was awful then I was treated with radioactive iodine…[Read more]

I must admit there have been times in my life that I have envied those with faith, They have a God they can lean on a Church where they can seek solace,  in my case I am alone with myself and my logical self.

I think whatever helps a person gets through the troubled times they have in life is fine as long as they dont hurt or force their beliefs…[Read more]

Sorry I didnt see your reply.. I healed just fine.

I cannot claim to have been drunk or unable to see because I was sober and it was daylight I was just daydreaming.

Although I admit we use flashlights at night because of un-even paving stones and rogue do poo laying around.

I can do both sides but left is easier..  funny because Im right handed.

I am an atheist I dont /cant buy into the idea of almighty spirit beings watching over us.

Yet I do beleive there are things we do not yet fully understand  re-incarnation in the sense many understand it is not for me but the idea that we can project a little of our consiousness at the time of our passing like the last spark of a dying fire…[Read more]

Hi and welcome .Sorry, I know nothing about Xena except the name.  But you are very welcome and maybe I can learn something about why she inspires you so much..

Absolutly. Ive always loved morning and I love the sunrise I have a thousand sunrise photos.

I normally get up at 6.30am every day.. But sometimes in summer we get up extra early like 5am so that we can enjoy the early morning and walk the dogs before it gets hot..

Tell her the truth , if she is a real friend she will be ok about it.

everyone equal isnt that communism?

Sorry just joking.. I love watching things like star trek where people no longer strive for money or possesions but they just strive to do the best they can. If only we could live like that it would be great but Im sorry to say greed still rules our world.

So….it didnt happen  Again!

seriously are you surprised people are laughing?

now Boris is heading for a ditch and theres a queue of people a mile long begging to push him in it

Mrs May is joining an abba tribute as the (non) dancing Queen

David Cameron is earning big$$$ off a book where he tells why it all went wrong although all he needs…[Read more]

Its ok its just one of those stereotypes that pushes us into boxes.

Blondes are ditsy

Fat people are lazy

People in wheelchairs have lost the use of their mind as well as their legs etc,

As more becomes known about Autsim and the broad range that it covers we begin to understand that many people can  be included in its spectrum many now…[Read more]

I like your way of thinking.

Intellegence being the ability to accept and explore new things and ways of thinking of having an open minds and being willing to constantly test and push your own bounderies…

Surely that is how most discoveries are made be they in art or science. Yes being open to embrace new ideas must be considered a form of…[Read more]
