Did i just give birth to my first smiley?I did'nt feel it; so probably not.

To be lonely

Flower; Pamela ;SMILE!!!!!!You've got us misfits now!!!!!
i recently got a little tip from a doctor female friend... she tells her patients to sometimes go and make a tape of songs.
1. you start the tape with some really heart wrending tracks
2. you progress through the tape ,and with each song you try to lift the mood by a few percent
3. the last half of the tape should be feel good music
4. the very last track should have you jumping around the house1
THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS THAT AT THE START OF THE TAPE YOU'RE ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR MOOD ,BIT YOUR MOOD WILL LIFT A LITTLE WITH EACH TRACK AND IF YOU PLAY IT ENOUGH THE MOOD RISE WILL BE QUICKER EACH TIME AND IT DOES WORK! Give it a try xxx -

i'm starting a degree in sept, decided to finish what i started a long time ago.The director of my course was very helpful and encouraging; talked through it all with me,career options can be sorted out during the course; no need to make decisions in haste,emotional support is offered; they also have 'return to learning' courses to ease you back in to learning gently if you need to do that.If money's a problem i'm sure i read they have schemes that let you pay in instalments;or you can get it all paid for if you're off work e.g.ill.If your friend just calls his local uni/cillege they can send a prospectus; or are really helpful on the phone.I'm really lookin forward to it,can't wait for the summer to end!!!Any more specific questions i can find out...

Let's have a baby shower!!!
by Julie inas most of you know one of our long time posters, "mommy"/wendy, is expecting a baby in the very near future.
as some of you may not know (and i hope she doesn't plot my murder for discussing it) wendy is going through some real tough times.
she could use a few things for the baby considering getting by with two other children is difficult enough!.

waiting,we are most definately on the same wavelength!!!The stomach thing is just so weird! It takes a while to register too, dos'nt it?!Then you have a bath and look at your stomach..AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!Where does all that excess skin go? I've read you grow extra to accomodate the bump(if not you'd apparently split!!)Does it un-grow?! is that a word?you forget all this;oh, god and that alien feeling when they're really strong and having a good stretch...and you can see a foot or hand or head trying to ESCAPE.oH, But the worst was thinking 'i can have a drink now!) and then remembering i could'nt until i'd finished breast feeding- what a downer that one was; it got me every time!!!

What is a shower anyway? We don't have them in the depths of the English countryside. Do you tell of episiotomies and piles; engorged breasts and labour pains, or none of the above, to keep your mind off it all?!We (WE?!)I had 3 out of 4 at home by ourselves as the docs always think you're exaggerating when you scream 'COME NOW!' They missed them all ,much to the delight of my midwife who said they wer'nt needed anyway and would get in the way!Mind you ,she missed two as they tend to shoot out at quite a good speed.My personal best of 6 minutes is quite impressive! 'JUST BLOODY CATCH IT' is my usual phrase...and they make a fuss about vasectomies?! NOT IN THIS HOUSE! i'm OWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
