Good luck. I hope it goes well. Whenever I meet new people I always says to my boyfriend, through clenched teeth, "don't leave me alone!". Not because I'm clingy, I just feel really awkward and don't know how to start a conversation. I'm getting better though. Fake it till you make it works for me.

Where I used to work one of the workers left/was sacked after a minor stuff-up. I ran into her a year later and she told me her side of the story and how hard she found it to find work afterwards. She was about 60 and had never been unemployed, working in an industry where age isn't an issue, she had worked through…

I hope things get better for you, DP23. I know what it's like when I'm depressed and teary but trying to hide it from others, and someone will start pick-pick-picking at me. "Oh god..what's wrong NOW?" It brings out the worst in people who simply can't understand what clinical depression feels like. Ugh. This 'get…

If only Green Day had broken up after American Idiot. 21st Century Breakdown was dead ordinary. I can't even be bothered listening to the latest one.

What is it about cats that want to be in the bathroom with you? Miaow miaow miaow scratch scratch scratch until you give up and let them in. Then they either demand be let out straight away or - even worse - sit at your feet while you're on the crapper.

Oh kitty 1, I wish you were my kitty. I would pat your widdle head all day long.

I've never uploaded anything, I hope this shows OK.

Thanks for the birthday wishes♡

Oh Lordy - twice now I've written replies and accidentally hit the Cancel button. Stupid tablet.

I was in a similar situation and it feels just awful, I know. I had nasty aunt too, who went out of way to hurt my feelings. No amount of explaining my side of the situation would help. I'd get upset and angry, which she loved seeing. Avoid all contact with this toxic old bat. Send her a polite letter explaining your…

Yeah well, Heather told me you're full of shite.

It's even more exciting than the actual show!

Not only did I not know segue was pronounced segway, I thought misled was actually mize-eld. I know I know. I'm a feckin ijit.

I get ocular migraines. All the symptoms of a migraine without the actual pain. I can get them any time of the month, but the pre-menstrual ones are killers.

I've read through your comments and truly, saw no lambasting going on anywhere. I think she just wanted to use the word. I understand this. It's a good word.

I've never heard anyone use that word in real life, but I love it and admit to feeling a tad jealous. I've only ever seen it written, mostly in dusty old novels. I'd like to use it myself in conversation but I'm not sure how it's pronounced. Is it like Lance Bass, former boy band heart throb? Or like, I'd better baste…

From one cat to another - I feel your pain. Everything is more intense in the week before my period but for some reason the smell thing has caused me a lot of grief lately. I found myself googling ''disease heightened sense of smell" because I thought I may have developed a mysterious fatal odour related illness. Even…

I noticed your print before I scrolled down and saw your post. I love it. I have about $4.25 to my name right now, but I'm going to favourite your shop on etsy so when things get better for me financially I am going to treat myself.

Cacao.

I googled Universal Deluxe Sewing Machine and a few links came up, including some pictures and manuals. But if you don't have the model number, one will be harder to find. I've had good experiences with sewing machine repair guys (they are always guys), they really know their stuff. They should tell you if fixing the…
