Lilaicha, why not suggest something else you can do with your sis, a meal out or whatever. So you can let her down if the pub doesn't suite you, but you can still celebrate her birthday. It was my birthday on Saturday, spent a good day at football with friends and had quite a larf really

Crowded parties are not my thing and would never be offended if anyone felt they couldn't enjoy something like that - sounds like your sister will understand and be fine. Try not to feel bad about it xxx PGI, keep on keeping on. Hope you enjoy parkrun when you go.
sheri3004 Aug 2014 9:42am, 26 Aug 2014 18,685 posts	0 sheri3004 Well - I think it's fair to say it has all kicked off here over the past week. Having thought things were bad before now seems very naive when I had no idea how much worse they could get However, with a good bit of outside help, hopefully the worst is over, although things are still very up and down. Luckily I have been able to take time off work, otherwise I don't know what we would have done as he can't really be left. Depression/OCD/anxiety are horrible, vicious, frightening things to be cursed with. I don't want to say too much on a public forum. But it has been an incredibly distressing time. Love to all xx

I have the week off work so I'd be happy to come and visit for a chat or run or whatever. I have a couple of things to do around the flat but otherwise I'm pretty much on own all the time too.
Purple Green Imp Aug 2014 11:29pm, 26 Aug 2014 128 posts	0 Purple Green Imp There are several people that I know that have started turning up at the Parkrun recently as well as all the regulars that I know already. In one way that makes me want to turn up and join in more - but in another makes me more nervous of turning up again. This week was always going to be difficult so I might have to put it off another week - but would me nice if I could do it this weekend.

(((Sheri))) - sounds awful, hope things continue to improve, albeit slowly (((Lil))) - glad you've found a way to see your sister, hoping things have picked up a little bit for (((Carp))) - so, did the PR / 10m lift you? Hope so! (((UD))) - agree with Carp, not acceptable nowadays, but sadly all to common - the attitude that says 'just pull yourself together' I mean And ((())) for anyone else who needs them. I'm ok currently I think. Usual ups and downs. Moving house so my focus seems to be largely on trying not to kill the various solicitors / estate agents / IFA who are involved. (For the avoidance of doubt, not serious thoughts of that - just 'WTF do these cretins, muppets, excuses for human beings actually get paid for'

I can remember back to when I was 5 and that my Mum was stopped by other Parents asking after J & I . Invisible I was...just wish I could nick sweeties then;-)
