Hi anne

Thats the spirit

Well I am never on my own in this house & have to admit when it does happen which is odd if it ever does , I quite like it as i never get that break but ...having said that by the time the end of the day comes I am ready for someone to come back in & I am dreading the day my last one at 18 gets ups & goes , even though I have hubby , so i can understand how you must be feeling

Even though I have said all that , I still have mt TV on in the background all day , some like the radio which is a good idea , I am more the TV , I dont sit & watch it all day or anything , but its just that chatter in the background , then certain subjects come on & I might take 5 & listen

My son is a painter , & when ever he is painting its the most relaxed I ever see him , give him a paint brush & he goes into another world of his own , hope it has the same effect on you lol

You will start to fill the days in , a routine will come , takes time , but you will

Meanwhile you are never on your own , not with this site , pop on here , someone will always reply as you no

Im of to the dentist this afternoon which i am dreading , dont do dentist very well & its just settled down from last week & now they will upset it all again :-( but at least after this trip , that tooth will be fixed , well I have to keep telling myself that !!!

Let us no how that painting goes lol

Hugs

thanks Whywhy... youre ace..... I used to be the same as you with regards Dentists but I luckily found someone who was very patient..... I still hate going but I dont feel the fear as much as I did..... so im sending you lots of love and hope maybe you can try focus on a little treat for yourself after you have been??

We'll message maybe later tonight and we can both say how the day has gone!!?

Lots of love xx

mines patient too , they have to be or they would knock me out !!!! lol

I get neuralgia in my face so I do tend to feel it , for one tooth i ended up with 3 injections to numb it , think they nearly ran out ..feel sorry for the one that came after , so I hope they have stocked back up , but its took a week for the pain to go :-(

Then I have to cover these eyes up with lots of make up ! & now a days i am not one for wearing as much , but when I go out which isnt often , I have to

Thats me as well there are several things I want to push for , i have made my mind up , one is not taking no for an answer that they cant get rid of these things , but I am all or nothing , so even though I need to get the dentist out the way first , i want everything else sorted at the same time & thats not going to happen !!!

yes we will compare notes later , have a little sing song to the radio , I sing in the house , it sounds dreadful , but as they say on these talent shows " I make it my own " but seriously , sometimes when I am singing away it can make me feel better , cats might start howling , but ....lol

love

:-)) good luck.... will be thinking of you!! xx

If eyes are really annoying you try to go and get them done,I know someone who had them done years ago and what a difference.,get dentist out of the way and make that your next project,I will try that myself,things I don't do when I know I should,it brings me down and then they worry me for not been done,I,ve had things needing done for months,they are worries I CAN get rid off.thanks for that wee push,I will do them today,might help me.

Thanks Lindalou

Thats what I need to hear that they can be done , think they like to fob you of though for the easiest

So that is going to be my next mission lol

Yes its so easy to put things of , espeacially when they seem a worry , but then they niggle in the back of your mind

I have made a list , most important to me & then it goes down , I am going to take one at a time till I have got through it , I might need little breaks as i get through each one , but i no I will feel good as i see one by one I am doing them , i hope it works for you to :-)

Love
