I do from here

Yep, course I do satzy, everyone who sees her loves her. When she plays in the front garden passers by can't resist stopping to admire her and ask her name and how old she is.

Hey Reccie, do you find this helps with your shyness? I am definitely closed off to people (don't like letting people get too close to me) but animals and kids do break that part open for me. It is the one avenue I let people into my world just a little.

Afternoon all - hope you are all well. Haven't been on much - so busy. You guys are never far from my heart though!

Love Waggy

TBH, I don't really welcome the attention red, but I can sort of understand it. Although I'm much less reclusive than I was a couple of years ago, I don't think I'll ever be a sociable person. Having said that, the idea behind getting a dog was to force a change of lifestyle, so maybe over a period of time having amy will help me to become a little more at ease with other folks.

I also think pets are good therapy.

Bloody Hell, if you kept your sticky beak out of it. We'd have got it sorted.

I'm not long off the phone to Molls, and to put it mildly she's in bits.

Put me down for sick note, Satz. Time I had a wee bit of a break.

Well, I see my intuition was spot on. I could feel your disapproval from the day I said I didn't want Arsey to leave. You've never been like this with me in the past, but then again I've always agreed with everything haven't I? We were united on pretty much everything but this time I took my own stance. Oh well. So be it...

I'm sincerely sorry that Mollers is having a bad time just now... and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'm also having a bad time and maybe we're both a bit sensitive at the moment because this seems to have escalated beyond what it should have.

I apologized publicly (on the thread) for saying Molly was over-opinionated on Saturday... I felt really bad for having put those words out there. I would normally have been more sensitive to the fact that she's going through a rough patch, but I was finally coming unravelled myself after putting a brave face on my own situation all week.

However, I'm not going to apologize for trying to patch things up between her and Arsey as I think that was the right thing to do. If you want to call it being a "sticky beak" so be it. It was one PM to them both... it's not like I HOUNDED them!

And I'm not going to apologize for having opinions that don't mirror yours.

I was going to PM Mollers when I logged on just now, but I am going to leave the situation well enough alone now. I think it's a mountain out of a molehill and the less input the better from me seeing as, apparently, everything would be FINE if I had kept my "sticky beak" out of it! Really not quite sure what to think about that to be honest... but it does seem to be a bit harsh.

If you're reading this Mollers... I am very sorry that I hurt your feelings... and I really mean that. I was in a funk and I ran my mouth when I shouldn't have. Please don't withdraw because of that. We all have spoken when we shouldn't at one time or another and it's not worth leaving over. I'm also very sorry that you're going through a bad time just now. I'm sure you're worried sick and feeling scared and I feel really bad that you're being hit with something like this. I know all about financial insecurity and it's a scary thing indeed. As I said, I shan't PM as I may only make matters worse. :l

Hiya Red, Waggy, UKB, Reccy, Questy, Satz et al. Had to also smile at you feeling like you were holding the thread together Satz... I felt a bit like that myself last week!

I'm having a very quiet day here today... just mulling things over. I haven't done any work apart from a tidy up earlier and really should get my arse into gear.

I've decided to put my big girl pants on and stop whining about this crap with yer wan indoors. Nobody is perfect, him included, and I think it's a case of either move along or have him leave and I don't want him to leave. So... moving right along.

I skimmed back and someone (I think Sylv) mentioned that they'd been in a similar situation... what was the outcome?

I think it would be a bit hypocritical of me to not give him a chance. Stones and glass houses and all that...

Just 'cos I looked at a book don't mean I read it.

Depends how far it's gone along, we all have limits and have to look after our own selves too.

You should have been here yesterday... pizzas made from scratch and cooked on a pizza stone on the grill. To say I pigged out would be an under statement! :yukko:

Yes. We should take our own well-being into consideration. In all honesty, I did what the therapist said to do and I drew up a list of pros and cons and the pros outweighed the cons. It may not stay that way but as of today's date that's the situation.

Relationships are tough and I was single for a long time. I'm also wondering if maybe I'm too critical? Or maybe I just over-think it all?

Have you spoken to the BF about how you feel, zenny? Don't answer if I'm being too nosey.

That sounds awesome! Does the top of the pizza get brown (I like the cheese to get a little browned). Do you cook with the top down on the grill? Is it direct flame or indirect heat?

Hiya hun!

Yep, I've spoken to him. Several times. It's kind of been a bit of a cycle to be honest... last weekend wasn't a one-off. He goes through cycles of denial. (Just made that up... quite apt though!) He'll admit he has a problem and stop then gradually will convince himself he hasn't got a problem and start. He'll handle it for a bit then he'll go off on a mad one and make a right spectacle of himself. I'll get pissed off and lose all respect for him, I'll rant and rave for a few days then let it go and when he gets out of the dog house will be fine for a few weeks then it will all start over again. Rinse and repeat!
