Seems to me that you cope very well with your problems, and we dont mind if you let off steam sometimes, we all do it! Long term ill health is not easy to cope with, and you are doing a good job, so dont get in a tizzy about it!

not sure will wait for the letter they should they did tell me all along that the mortgage department is just waiting for Income Support to get forms back and then they will get it done .

Tiddler doesnt have her normal teacher on a Friday morning so doesnt like going and she is a stress head over little things like not knowing songs for production.

And you r right could do without extra stress wish Fibro would just go away and we could go back to a normal life but its not so have to put up with it.

awe dawnie
i send you a hug for today to help you thru

its frustration more than anything isnt it, you feel like rubbish and then the benefits people are stressing you out having to chase um up,
take deep breath love

kids are feeling the weather and wanting to stay home by sounds of it, lmao
they try all sorts to stay home dont they,
and sometimes youd rather say ok then , and save your legs,
little scallywags,

glad your getting help though financially, its a stress itself isnt it

Dawnie, will you get the mortgage help etc backdatd to when you first tried to claim as the letters have been lost etc It would be the least they could do to make up for all the hassle.
I know what a nightmare the forms can be from when I was a single Mum, no one department seemed to know what the other was doing!

If we dont laugh would cry about it all and there no way the children are seeing me in that state.

Catie
I have a big chet to get things off of lol



And think must go arghhhhhh more often as had phone call from benefits people this afternoon to tell me they had at last sorted things out and they will keep me on Income upport and realise hubby is looking after me has only taken since october and loads of lost letters from me to them and us worrying that we would be losing that money each week and means they should help with the mortgage a bit now as well so will have a few more pennies towards other bills now.


Cant see that people would want to go through all this if they werent genuinely ill its more hassle all the time.

Dawnie, I've always thought the saying - a problem shared is a problem halfed - makes a lot of sense. Better to get things off your chest , than to bottle things up. Hoping things settle down for you soon :)

Love Catie xx

Hiya Dawnie... we all need to let off steam once in a while... and as Ann said, just because some people are worse off than ourselves, it doesn't make our own pain and problems go away or feel any better... it is how we deal with them most of the time that counts.... and you certainly still have a wry sense of humour when it comes to yours.... no, my lovely, you are not a whinger.

Love and (((((((((((hugs))))))))))

Daff xxxxx

thank you ladies

today is another day and managed to get laddo and tiddler to school despite the im sick routine youd think they would of worked out by now that my stand on it is if they havent been sick they can try school and if they are ill school will call me.
Plus its not raining and the sun is trying to peek out so will make us feel better, and would help even more if the benefits people would get there act together and not keep losing my letters or putting in my details wrong so they say we dont exist, hubby will tell you that I do he has to put up with the moaning lol.

Liz youre right i do have a brilliant hubby but even all of this is getting to him as well but we will get through it together after all who else would i put my ice cube feet on at night.

Oh Dawn sorry you have lots on your plate at moment - sending you a big ((((((((HUG))))))))))
Love Mary xx

Hi Dawnie, I know what you mean, but be careful what you wish for, love!
You have the love and support of your hubby and family so count your blessings, we need to be reminded sometimes I think. I know I do, I have a lot more than many people despite the struggles I complain about sometimes.

Lizx

no you're not pathetic at all - the fact that others are suffering more does not make your problems any the less

sorry needed to get that out have so many little thing happening that they are making life pretty hard at minute, think id prefer one big whollop of a thing than all the little ones as you never know whats gonna hit each day.
We must of been pretty bad in a previous life for all of this but as hubby says our chins must be so big by now as we keep taking knocks on them.

then see news with all floods and fires and what people are going through there and think what a pathethic person i am for whinging
