Evening lovlies x

I hope you are all doing ok x

A very quiet week for me , a couple of long days at work, had Thursday and today off as had a new timing belt and brakes fitted on my car

The weather has been glorious, typical 6 weeks school holidays for those who have younger children and the weather wasn't great but back to school and the sun decided to show itself

This weekend will be me doing a bit of food shopping, and painting the fence, I know exciting eh?

No visit with my son this week but he is doing ok, spoke a couple of times this wk , he has finished his work for his degree 4 weeks ahead of schedule , and is enjoying the course,

I hope your weekend is kind to you all xx

Hi Upset - all good with me too. We have a new fur baby in the family and I adore being with him - I can see now how a dog is therapeutic!

Routine week overall.. son fine and been wrestling with some huge weeds in a forgotten area of the prison grounds. So fine on that front.

I hope everyone is bearing up - so many friends on here - so much appreciated x

Fed up of crap ss if I'm honest, wish I didn't have to deal with them any more, not that they are even doing their jobs.



also too blooming hot, wish I could sleep in the bath full of cool water (a bad idea for obvious reasons)

Hello everyone!

It's been a busy week here - I like busy, less time to think! Every therapist out there would disagree probably, but yano, survival and all that! :)

Lovely to hear your sons are doing OK upset and smile xxx

Hello lovely people,

so pleased to hear that your sons are doing well Smile and Upset.

I am on holiday at the moment and despite feeling very anxious about leaving my son I'm managing to relax and enjoy myself-we check in with him every other day.

A year ago I never thought that we would get to this point so I just wanted to say that there is hope and that although life will never be the same it can still be good at times.

Sotired I'm definitely making the most of the wine too !!

love as always xx

Hello Friday, well Saturday, check in

week been ok. Still loving my dancing. Glad to hear about a new fur baby, Smile. They really do give so much love. It is mine that has kept me going.

Got a few ailments and on more tablets, apparently they are a result of beeing stressed! So that disappointing as i am usure how to be less sressed in my current position. Going to the cinema tomorrow so looking forward to that, and then just another week of work. But nothing too drastic!



wishing everyone a good week X

I got a phone call on Thursday from the NHS to say my counsellor had gone sick and that they'd have to cancel my talking therapy sessions. They are looking to slot me in with another counsellor but I guess that means starting all over again and re-telling them everything. I wonder if they made notes to pass on? If not, I'll have to relate my sorry story all over again which is not good for me. I hate talking about it. I hate reliving the nightmare that started 5 years again and culminated in the Knock. I actually hate talking about myself so I'm not even sure this talking therapy is right for me. But hey. We try.

Too hot to do much this week. At least things have been quiet otherwise. Not sure next week will be the same.

Try to stay cool and relaxed everyone xx
