Now to waste this beautiful day sleeping after a night shift

My dress arrived

I'm at work so I can't try it on yet, but it appears to be perfect *happy dance*

I really want to go to the cinema today. I want to see 21 Jump Street, Titanic 3D and Cabin in the Woods but don't know how to choose because two of them are on around the same time. Hopefully my Mam can drop us in because I can't really afford the bus seeing as I got no money yesterday because the Social sort of effed up. :mad: My bf said he wants to bring me to the cinema because we never really go out together and he wants to treat me, bless him.

Hopefully my bf will wake soon and we can see what we're going to do for the day because I really want to get out of the house. My brother was going to come too but he's decided he's "not ar**d" but I think it's because he stood up to Mam last night and he wants to keep the peace even if it means him staying in the house for the day. *sigh*

Bloody wake him up. It's nearly midday ffs. You guys rarely see one another, he should be up long ago.

How can you afford the cinema but not the bus? Your mam will most probably be pissed off, don't blame her either. I'd be very grateful to her and show it if she does drop you in.

Well I'm sorry but he's sick actually so that's why he's asleep. As I said in my last post my he said he wanted to pay for the cinema so that's how I can afford it. I don't really know why you think my mam should be pissed off though. I didn't do anything to her. I'll think twice about my posts in future then.

Can he not pay for the bus as well? But if he's sick he probably shouldn't be going to the cinema.

Wow im having such a freak out about my exams today. I would rather be doing anything than study at the moment. Very sick of all this.

Your sense of entitlement is shocking. You're an adult, find your own way to the cinema. Stop whining about how horrible your mother is and perhaps do something nice with her instead. Try seeing things from her perspective for a change. It might help improve your relationship with her. And if it doesn't well you've at least tried.

I don't really want to have to ask him to do that tbh. I said that but he's sort of insisting on it.

I never said that I thought that she should bring me to the cinema actually so I really do know where you got that from. I feel like you're attacking me here so I'm not going to post about my mother from now on because people seem to be getting the wrong idea about the situation and me.

Stench Blossoms · 11-04-2012 11:54am

Jane, if you can't afford the bus then I doubt you were planning on offering her money for petrol... would you? Bus would be cheaper... or do you just expect that because she's your mother you don't have to pay her for petrol?

cynder · 11-04-2012 11:54am

I just logged in and found i had a private message, asking ' was i hot' ....

I AM MARRIED!

Good stuff outta you.

I had this opinion of you that you just kinda assumed that your mother would drop everything to bring you and your boyfriend to the cinema without so much as a thanks.

I'm glad your not like that though. People like that really annoy me.

Jane is perfectly entitled to whine about her mother if she wants to, this is the "what made made you smile/frown/mad/sad/cry" thread afterall.

No one's forcing you to read her posts in depth, you could just skip over them if they bother you that much. No need to have a hissy fit over them.

Jane, please don’t think of it as people ganging up on you – it’s more that people can only be so polite for so long. You appear to have no interest in becoming an independent adult and that frustrates people.

better bring osky for a walk this evening if it's not raining
he's giving me the puppy eyes all the time
i try explaining to him he hates the rain so there's no point, but he won't believe me...

ElleEm · 11-04-2012 12:18pm

It's my first time posting here but I need somewhere to vent.

Some guy in AH just p!ssed me off!! He is clearly a troll but it bothers me that he is referring to something I am dealing with on a minute- to- minute basis.

I have MS, and HATE that I have to claim any benefits but this guy is referring to his "uncle" who has loads of perks. It's just not my reality and I hate to think there are people out there who think that I am sponging (and getting free cars!) on the back of my illness.

herisson · 11-04-2012 12:18pm

but on the plus side i got POTD again!!

Susie_Q · 11-04-2012 12:18pm

Can we have a picture of Osky? You might have put one up before but I missed it. I love dogs! Also where did you get his name from?

x Purple Pawprints x · 11-04-2012 12:19pm

I really didn't realise. I'm sorry everyone. I'm quite upset now so I don't know when I'll post again. I thought I was entitled to post what I wanted here but obviously not. I always say I don't care what people think of me but I do and I really didn't realise that's what you all thought.

i've a million pictures of him, i'll post again soon

I'm still (perhaps naively) convinced he was taking the piss of the usual "omg i hate dole scroungers" threads. I know it must be hurtful when it seems targetted at you though xx

Ilyana · 11-04-2012 12:22pm

Guys I don't really want to get involved in a huge row, but there's no need to be so harsh on Jane. She doesn't judge anyone else's lives on here, so we shouldn't do it to her. I just think it all got a bit personal.

Just my 2c anyway.

Fvck me... just felt the earthquake that hit Indonesia. Am on the east coast of India and everyone in my office felt it. People ran out onto the streets in confusion wondering how bad it would get. Luckily just tremors here but still waiting on news reports of how bad Indonesia has been hit.

Tsunami warning issued for all of the Indian Ocean... bollox! Am 60km from the coast so should be fine here but lots of people won't be. Fingers crossed the tsunami stays as a warning only and not an actuality.

Eeek, hope you're OK.

Going to the cinema today with my cousins girlfriend and their kids to see “The Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists”, should be a fun, but tiring afternoon.

Food now, mmm.

That's fair enough, perhaps I was overly harsh. I do refute the hissy fit accusation tho, while possibly I could have been more constructive I still think there is truth in what I said.

11-04-2012 12:45pm

Going against the rant in R&R is generally not allowed. However there is a poster who has been posting repeatedly for at least a year about the same issue. He won't do anything about it. Just posts about it all the time. Despite the rules, a lot of people who sympathise have understandably become frustrated with him and told him to cop on. It doesn't mean he's not in a bad situation, it doesn't mean people don't care about his problems, and it doesn't mean he should drop off the face of the earth.
Same thing here.
We're all concerned for jane because a lot of us have family problems too. but when it's the same thing & she seems overly dependent on her bf and mother and doing nothing in general, yea, we get a bit frustrated. Partly on her behalf.

I don't want jane to stop posting, we're all like a little family in here, but I hope she will take a step back and review things.

I don't think it got bitchy at all, people were just expressing their opinion. It can't always be {{{{{{{{hugz}}}}}}}} and flowers.

Pembily · 11-04-2012 12:54pm

This is an emotions thread that others read, it's not a make me feel better thread. Some people just randomly post their good / bad / what ever feelings and others post regularly.

My issue with some people constantly going on about the same problem is the fact they don't seem to be doing anything to fix said problem.

As Einstein said - Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Hey guys,

Just want to say that I might not be posting for a little bit. I'm going to be honest and say that I was hurt by some of what was said about me and my posts. I'll keep an eye on the thread here and there but I think me taking a break from posting might be a good idea. The atmosphere of the thread suffers because of what I post sometimes and I don't want that to be so.

Sorry if I've upset anyone with anything I've posted.

I'll be back soon.

Of course you are entitled to post what you want, but maybe instead of getting hurt, take this opportunity to re-evaulate things. You don’t really think people are being nasty for the sake of it, do you? No-one wants to see you wasting your life away being unhappy and opportunities are not just going to come knocking on your door. You need to make things happen for yourself. Best of luck.

This is what this thread used to be. Now its more of a chat thread and some people see it as like their daily blog.

I dunno, maybe I didn't get the memo about the change.

It's hard no to be hurt by a lot of what was said actually. I don't think people were nasty for the sake of it but I am also entitled to be hurt. I know opportunities are not going to just come knocking on my door, that's why I'm going back to college in September to give myself more options. Thanks for the reply to my post though.

Nothing that has been said has been said with the intention to hurt you. None of us know the exact details of what goes on in your life other than what you post her but maple was trying to offering something constructive. It may have felt a bit harsh but thems the breaks.

It and any post after it are intended to be helpful to your situation in response to the way your posts come across. No one wants you to stop posting, they want to help you.
