Kitty, I hope everything works out with your husband. I know anything to do with the brain is immediately terrifying but, trust me, the brain is hardier than you would imagine.

I tried to organise my bookshelf. The magnitude of the situation overwhelmed me and there was a point when I thought I would never get all the books back on it again.

So.Many.Books.

I have a bookshelf in my sitting room that goes from wall to ceiling and there's still barely enough room for all the books. It's a tight squeeze.

Since I got my Kindle to alleviate the situation, I have downloaded about 4 books and purchased nearly 10 paper books. Oooops.

So, a friend of mine (let's call him X) had said he'd come over tonight and we'd have a few drinks and see our new place. At the last minute he backed out and said he wasn't bothered, that he wasn't up to it. After alot of badgering him, we said fine. Text another friend (let's call him Y) and asked him over and he said "Sorry guys, already promised X I'd go for a few drinks with him".

I'm so angry as X had plans with us first and didn't tell us he was changing his plans, just lied. So I just text X saying "Pity you weren't feeling 'up for it' was looking forward to seeing you. Oh, and enjoy drinking with Y instead." He didn't even bother his arse to reply.

So, to cheer me up, I drank a bottle of wine (see below :P ). Highly recommend it!


So upset though that one of my so called best friends, that I have constantly been there for, no matter what, lied and didn't think twice about it :mad:

Sorry to hear that Sar_Bear. It's never easy when someone you consider a friend lets you down.
Hope the new place is working out well, and that you enjoyed your wine.


Oh- in case I don't get time to post in the morning as I frantically try not to be late for work (again)-
Good luck with the exams today girls!! xxx
Hope they go well. Not too long left now.

Had to reply to this, as I feel your pain. Im currently going through the same issue with a former best friend, since I moved away and what happened to you tonight has been a constant thing.. Same story in that I was always the shoulder to cry on, laugh on ect....now Im lucky to even get a text asking how I am. Worst part is bloody facebook which Im going to deactivate as she is rubbing it in my face with inside jokes with other friends, I would care if it wasnt for her complete abandonment of a very long friendship. Its absolutely soul crushing and I hope you aren't too upset tonight. Ive decided today after more crap on her part, that Im going to focus on making myself happier as this has gotten me down terribly and Im not making an effort anymore with her or others who have done this. you know deep down you are a good friend and Im sure others can and will see that. Hope you have a nice evening now and enjoyed the bubbly.

I had such a horrible horrible night. I can't even begin to go into it because it'll sound so stupid to anyone else. I just need a hug but I'm sitting up not able to sleep and my eyes hurt from crying. I wish my mam could go back to how she was, we used to get on. I don't know what happened.

I hope you're okay. Try get some sleep as things always seem worse when you are tired, exausted and emotional. In the morning, when both of you are calm, maybe you could try explaining to her how much you miss the relationship you had with each other.

I don't even know how to talk to her anymore. I used to feel like I could go to her about anything and she'd listen and help me. But lately I can't because it seems like she overreacts and makes big problems out of small ones. Sometimes I feel so lonely in my own house that I can't breathe. Maybe I seem overly dramatic but it's just how I feel right now. Thanks so much for the replies ladies.

I can sort of understand how you feel. My mother had depression and we did not get on at all. I was too young to understand she wasn't just being moody or snappy with me and when I did realise why she was like she was, it was too late.

Obviously I don't know if its the same with your mom. Is there any chance she could be depressed or going through menopause?

I've posted about her here before and menopause was mentioned by a few of the loungers here and I think it's definitely a possibility. I feel bad for being mad at her sometimes because I know it may not be her fault but it still hurts to feel like I'm constantly picked on and snapped at. Menopause is probably the most likely explanation.

Kitty, big cuddles to you and Mr.Tom Cat!!

I like that collar- I'd love one myself. Whereabouts in Camden did you get it?

thanks I'm always afraid of what people expect I look like

I got the collar in Cyberdog, I'd recommend it, the other ones I was looking at in other shops were just really flimsy compared to it.

My colleague's 6 year old daughter came to visit me in the office today. I introduced her to the world of Spongebob Squarepants and she helped me redecorate my office.

Had a real dodgy night's sleep. Don't think I slept in any way properly til 4am.

I kept waking up laughing

Well the annoying mosquito net has to come out already...my arm looks like a pincushion this morning, I got eaten alive. Bastard even got me on my face! The mosquito drowned in my glass of water though, so that made me feel better, mwahahahaha!

Today will be a good day; and I will study this evening after work. Oh yes.

*hugs for the ladies*

Hugs to kityeetrix

Hugs to Jane. - just wondering Jane, did your mum's attitude change happen before or since you started going out with the bf? If it's happened since, maybe she thinks she's lost you as her friend and is using the attitude as a defensive mechanism?

Good luck to all the ladies doing exams today.

Taking the morning off from studying & I'm going horse riding it's the best way for me to unwind!

Acoshla

Kitteetrix (I can't spell your new name!) hope everything's ok with your hubby xx

The weirdest thing happened this morning, I woke up with my engagement ring on my middle finger instead of my ring finger...where it has to be wedged on as it's too small for it. How did that happen? Did I really go to the bother of taking it off one finger and forcing it onto the other finger in my sleep?

Novella

Today I'm getting a manicure and lots of waxing. I'm a little bit scared 'cause ouch but excited too.

Ilyana

KittyeeTrix, I hope everything turns out okay for your husband xx
Hope you feel better soon Jane xx

Mah head hurts There's a Chilean dude asleep in the kitchen so I can't get some water to take a painkiller. Also, I miss my boyfriend

Thanks guys, I feel a little bit better today. Got a little bit of sleep and woke up feeling okay.

@mariebeth - I don't think she's changed since then, I think it's actually way before that. The time of my leaving cert and starting college in Athlone (2006/2007) seems to stick out in my mind for some reason. She seemed to want her own way and pushed me into doing things at that time. I know I make her sound horrible but she's still my mam and I love her. I just feel like she can be hard to deal with and so hard to talk to sometimes and it gets me down.

I think you need to move out.
