What's the story Matty?

At a christmas sale, all set up and woman on next stall arrives and starts moaning about anything and everything and starts on me and Ali - and we have done nothing!!!

 

We had to get the organiser and walk away.

Sounds like you became a target for her  anger just because you were nearby.  People can be so unthinking in their interactions with strangers.

The poor cashier in the supermarket yesterday certainly wasn't prepared for my truthful answer to his question 'how are you today?' (see my post above for how shit life is at the mo).  They really should provide training on what to say if someone actually answers the question and gets upset, or just admit they don't actually care how customers feel as long as they buy stuff.

Life does get better there dizzymoo, believe me we've had some major dark times here in the oneeye household; it will get better,  honest. 

As for anger music, I find a bit of prodigy fat of the land helps. It will work out, positivity sent your way

Oh, and next time you're asked if you're okay packing by a cashier, say no

Thanks guys, I'm properly crying now!  But it's good.

It's brilliant that your daughter (and you as a family) have overcome so much.  I don't know the story, but it's clear you couldn't be more pleased and proud. Good to know.

It's good to have a good blubber

Thanks for the sentiments also; just trying to give you some clarity when all seems shite.

You sound like you have a great family, that's all that really matters. Exams are just that, exams. In life there are more important things, though I do hope your son (and you) get the support you need. 

Just remember life is always good, there are just different levels

 Glad you're feeling (like) yourself again.  I've never understood what employers think they achieve by punishing people for being ill.  Still, what could possibly go wrong, adding to already high levels of stress?

I'd be inclined to mention the 'bullying' word in work conversation, reckon your illustrious employer would 'shit a kidney' if you excuse the expression Not much I 'hate' in this world, but bosses who don't know how to manage their employees is verging.

Hope you have a good one tomorrow t84, if said bollocking does materialise just smile and think of drinking in a field in June at 4am, dancing like a loon, works for me
