As a 35 year old, married for 8 years, I do find that there is a certain expectation in "society" for me to have children. Those who actually know me just say that I'd rather have a puppy :roflmao: But there are reasons behind my choices. Firstly, I am not remotely maternal. Something that...

I found my old Library card yesterday, so I'm hoping to be able to join you all soon! I miss reading... but ouch! I've just seen the price of Gone Girl on Amazon. It must be good if they're only knocking 50p off the price :eek:

Personally, I know that I am not assertive within my relationship - but after living with it growing progressively worse for 8 years now I can hand on heart say that sometimes it is just less painful to keep your head down and your mouth shut. I can entirely appreciate the fact that you are...

I would say - and this is just my opinion - that there is a whole world of difference between being employed and being self employed, but that it would depend on the type of contract. Was it in a school? Did he have a written contact? Best of luck with it...

I am very glad that you did then - five weeks waiting and worrying versus five weeks and fingers-crossed-all-sorted is a no brainer! Private medical insurance is the one thing I insisted we get after Husband collapsed with his PTSD breakdown - the way he was treated on the NHS was appalling -...

Wow - they don't hang around in Australia do they? :wideeyed: So glad that all went well and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery xxx

I miss my Gran. To those of you who are Grandparents and think that you are unloved because you don't get a reply to your phonecalls or letters, do not think that way. Grandparents are the most important people in the world. My Gran died two months before I married Husband, and sadly she...

Oh Rain - I agree entirely with Ikon Nikon - I do not believe that her outbursts had anything at all to do with you and that there is obviously something going on with her behind the scenes. Everyone is entitled to an off-day. What she had no right to do was bring that off-day in to your time...

Hello KatB - that's exactly the same as my symptoms - thank you. It is a very odd sensation, especially when it's new to you as it is to me. Thank you

They can take my pulse any day :happy:

Wow! A whole 37 years? That's fantastic!!! I hope you enjoy wearing your new jewellery to your lovely restaurant and have a lovely meal. You deserve it xxx

Thank you ISH :inlove: for the concern and for the explanation. I promise to go and see the doctor... Not sure what would happen if I tipped up at our local fire station... my blood pressure could go through the roof!!! :roflmao: :happy:

Welcome Eileen. I am so sorry that you are going through this and I hope that he comes home safe and sound soon. Hopefully his previous disapperances will set a precedence. x

Oh boy - were they back with a vengeance yesterday! To cut a lo-o-o-ng story storter, I had a phone call to say that our mortgage application had been rejected because our solicitor had failed to supply the information she said she would. It transpires this morning that she could never have...

I find it hard too - and I know Husband does too. From his point of view, he looses the structure of the working week and needs to find things to keep him busy to keep his mind off whatever is lurking in there. I would like to relax but find myself drawn in to his need to keep busy. I also...

That is possibly the most positive post I have ever read! I would love to do pretty much most of that and say congratulations to you for doing it!

Me too x

Really well done for saying something and for sticking to it too. If she has done it once and then, as you say, learned that she can carry on getting away with it then she will. The real test will come next time you all go away - will she try it again or will she contribute. I have sympathy...

What a lovely question 99Phoenix99 - just the fact that you are asking it would be enough for me if I were your supporter :happy: I think the others have covered everything I would like to hear or feel. But perhaps you could tell them what you have just told us - I'm sure it would mean the...

Hmmm, is he projecting his anxiety...? Almost sound as if I might know what I'm talking about!!!

Oh don't talk to me about boilers and central heating!!! Bane of my life!!!! We needed a new one back in 2009 and not a day has gone by when it has not leaked, not worked or simply poured water out of the back of the house!!!!! At the weekend it developed a mind of it's own and switched the...

I slept like a log last night!!! No dog in the room, no noisy neighbours... just was not ready to get out of bed in the dark at 7am :sorry:

A day out near where we live... I'm so sorry to read that you might not be able to display some of the images - but these are all mine! And now yours too x
