Hi WG, I'm well stressed, got my presentation to do tomorrow, it's supposed to be 20 minutes long and I've only managed to pad it out to about 8, my manager has told me I have to impress him - no pressure there then. Spent the afternoon pacing and crying, am taking a valium before the meeting kicks off tomorrow - I know I will get the runs else! This time tomorrow it will be over, and I will probably be hanging my head in shame Hope all you ladies are doing ok. Love TM x

Hi TM
Oh I am sorry you are so stressed hun! What is the presentation on? Is there anything I can do to help??
I am certain that you are the sort or person that will pad this out to 20mins and make it sound good and this time tomorrow you will writing in here that it all went ok.
Several years ago I used to do Public Speaking in competions (just to blw my own trumpet, won the england title and second in the UK..... lol), anyhow, I know it sounds obvious, but you can get away with delayed pauses etc at opportune moments and that used to help pad my speeches out...
I will be thinking of you tomorrow babes, and if I can help out in anyway just holla babes xxxx
Love
WG x

Oh WG, How brave are you! I hate doing it with a passion, got to give an overview of my new job and just don't feel I have the knowledge to talk about it to any great degree, I'm still stumbling along making a pigs ear out of it mostly, it's the subject I'm not comfortable with, my manager is big on presentations so is making me feel much worse - I just know I'm going to make a complete arse of myself Love TM x

Hi TM
So incorporate that into your presentation. Somehow talk about all that you feel you need and want to learn and what your expectations are in developing your role etc...
And Im not brave babes, I would wee myself if I did it now! LOL x
You can do it hun, everyone gets nervous and will hav gone through this. You have such a fab personality, let it shine in your presentation!!

Hi all, Have survived the day, didn't go as bad as I expected it too (although I'm still waiting on feedback from my manager ) and actually had quite a laugh - and some gorgeous doughnuts! I'm getting a bit concerned, all my good times seem to revolve around food - now that's a habit which I definately need to break! Feeling kind of ok today, was dreading catching the train as I haven't done it for so long and I thought my thoughts would go into overdrive but I was ok, I suppose because I was preoccupied with my presentation. Think I'm having a bit of a backdoor spike, the thoughts are there (and I'm on my own this evening) but because I'm feeling sort of ok with them I'm questioning whether I'm mentally ill and will act on them, the anxiety makes you feel safe. I know it's only by not reacting to the thoughts that will make them less frequent and eventually hardly noticable. I've had worse days so I'm not complaining. Hi to everyone - cokey, Scarlet, WG, JM and anyone I've missed! Love TM x

Hi all,
Had a shitty couple of days as haven't been well. Woke up Friday night with a migraine and was just in so much pain didn't know what to do, wore off gradually during the day then something else started! I've got rheumatoid arthritis and take no medication as I had a really bad allergic reaction to my last lot and am now too afraid to take anything, so on Saturday my hands and feet ballooned up and I was really uncomfortable. I asked Ed to get up with Tabitha on Sunday, and his reaction "why, you'll get up, you always do" so I was furious and went stomping off to bed. Got up Sunday still swollen and in pain but went back to bed when Tabitha slept, today hasn't been much different, made Ed sort Tabby out and went back to bed until 10:30, only got up then as I had to work. My resentment towards his lack of thought is really wearing me down. A couple of weeks ago somebody asked him if we'd have anymore children and he said no as I had chronic health problems and it would be unreasonable from a health point of view to expect me to cope, but there he is completely ignoring the fact that I'm struggling and in pain, I think he thinks I'm putting it on, just pisses me off. He's on lates again this week so I'm on my own all evening but so far I'm doing ok, the thoughts are there and aren't pleasant but I'm coping.
Hope you ladies are all doing ok.
Love TM x

Hi TM
Oh hun sorry you have been having a crap time baby xx
As for Ed, well quite frankly sounds to me like its a good job he is on lates this week out of your way! Why do men do that? No bloody consideration. But if the roles were reversed he'd have you running round like a headless chicken for it!
You poor thing. You need a time out babes. A girly break or a night in a hotel on your won or something. No child and no hubby, just good old girly fun.
I hope youe arthiritis is better tonight??
WG xx
