My Apocalypse!

Sometimes just having a good moan helps, gets it off your chest, can even make problems more manageable.

It's always the same though "troubles never come singly". I hope you get everything sorted out.

? To all having a bad time at moment .

quizqueen - I love you !!!
I got the disc drawer open and found a plastic bookmark inside !! I thought it had been a key. The bookmark had knocked off a rubber band drive belt, but I managed to howk it back on to the runners. It's opening and shutting as it should now instead of just making a whizzing noise !
Now , the car problem . It's similar , fan belt whirring but engine not turning over .

Minxie - the video was astonishing ! I live in Scotland ,where would I find a class , I've never heard of this before .

tiredoldwoman....You actually sound more like a brilliant resilient woman!!!..inspiring us all to stand up and keep going no matter what..THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!...you're also setting a great example to your Daughter...how lovely that she has you...hope she moves forward soon and gets the life..& respect she deserves...Treat yourself to lunch with a friend,... you truly deserve to,...good luck, best wishes...all will be ok..let us know how you get on please!

I think we all get times like this ,my OH says that we all get the same amount of luck ,good and bad ,just at different times ,so some folk look as if life is always good and then there are the rest of us who at times appear to lurch from one crisis to another.The important thing is we usually manage to get through these awful times ,I know we did ,but if you stay "strong" while its all going on sometimes when its all done and dusted you then fall apart.Thats quite normal so having your wee rant is helpful it means you're not building up for a meltdown when everything calms down.My daughter was in a violent relationship too,and it was the most difficult time of OUR lives because we couldn't make her see sense and she kept going back to him.I am so pleased your daughter has taken the legal route and will be free of the "man" take time for and be kind to yourself for she'll need your support in months to come

tiredoldwoman I'll private msg you with details of a yoga teacher who may be willing to help online if she's too far from you for classes .She's in Kilsyth .

tiredoldwoman Hope today is brighter.Tooth now has a dressing ! on it thanks to a lovely young dentist at the emergency dental clinic in my local hospital.Thankfully it can be filled by my own dentist on Wednesday. The downside was i had to eat chocolate

Dentistry's so clever nowadays, I'm glad they saved the tooth . Keep smiling - the sun is out and everything's looking good ! x .

Nothing like a good old rant to get it off your chest. Glad your feeling better and more importantly positive.

I have tremendous sympathy for all you posters: these problems seem to bypass some people. All I can say is that there are kind people who will help if you ask. It's not nice to feel needy after a life time of coping but there's no cure for old age. Chin up girls.

Well done! Try taking DLPA as it helps your body's natural pain killers and you can either reduce dose of chemical pain killers or may be able to leave off them altogether.
