Ah depression, I welcomed my escape into it sometimes, as strange as that may sound. Lack of caring, not having to feel or deal with things head on, just wallow in the self pity. Of course our old 'friend' AL is always there feeding those negative thoughts and pain isn't he.

Morning army its a lovely Spring morning here nice sunny spells but still bit cold. Off to ladies AA meeting at one. I got some spring bedding plants over the weekend so i'll pot those this afternoon if it stays dry. I like gardening also but not weeding and mowing loads of grass. Hoping to get a patio done this summer and a nice wooden shed. Too much grass makes the garden high maintenance and I wish I didn't put that hedge along the wall another bugger to keep at bay. Ah sure i'll get there yet. Get well soon Molly have a couch day and don't go back to work till you feel better. Have a terrific Tuesday folks.:cupajoe::flower::lilflower::rays:

Had a read back and then thought I'd better get ready for work.............it's quite casual but there might be a a raised eyebrow at a fake fur pink leopard skin dressing gown.

Little bit of anxiety going on as remember the lassie that passed out drunk last week, I'm afraid to say she turned up again a little worse for wear............today's the day she's having a bit of a 'chat' with her key worker. It's starting to affect the other clients. Any way it is not my problem but I really feel for her.

Me too

Nods agreement

Aye for an hour or so we could rule the world

Ooooooooooh I throbbed a good wallow.

I was a depressed alkie but I may as well have chucked the anti-ds down the bog..........now I'm all sobery they're doing the job it says on the packet.

Laters love --- now deciding between a rock bun or a sausage batch loaf sandwich ---- DECISIONS!!!!

Molly, you could have both, couldn't you?

Yes, that grip - probably the world's most difficult thing to catch and hold on to. It took me long enough to get it - please let me never let go of it.

Spag bol is always good. Had planned an elaboratish meal, then settled for a good old cheese and tomato sandwich. :H:H:H

Hate it when I have unexpected visitors and the house looks like a demolition site. So, bolting stable doors with horses gone, I'm in tidying-up mode. Anybody who would like to join me is more than welcome.

Yes, chillies. Hen hunting in your fragile state? Are you off tomorrow as well - if you're still off your feed I think you should be!

Thanks for reminding me of Brideshead Revisited - going to tuck myself in bed with it.

Oh, and I couldn't bolt the door - it was my own personal blueberry consultant, coming to see why my babies were not thriving. Mission of mercy, sort of.

:hallo: and good evening

Spag bog here as well but no pancakes.

Amazingly the lady seems to be back on track............she had a little booster chat and seems to have taken everything all on board.............fingers crossed.

That picture is just fabulous, Dreamy.

Been trying to get the BR DVD for ages; so it's the dead tree version.

I didn't get many blueberries last year, but the bushes are still young, so hoping for a better harvest this year. May be hoping in vain.

Off to bed myself - just popped in to say good night and sweet dreams to all. :l:l:l

Nighty night Dreamy,

Yep, Molls, 'ish' is a very good way of putting it.

Aww your wee girl trying to get into the creche..........she must think she's old enough for pre-school.
