Not doing great at all this week
Posted 27th January 2010 at 11:10 PM by lillyrose4
I don't really have any excuses but I just can't seem to get a grip, I have felt so stressed and down this week and am beginning to think maybe my depression is rearing it's ugly head again, i just want to cry all the time and feel like everything is getting on top of me. My OH has been off work and has done my head in the last few days cause he is no help round the house at all or with the kids and I just feel like I am doing everything on my own. To top it all off my 16 year old daughter has lost her phone at school which is worth £200 and I pay on contract every month for her. She thought she had lost it 3 weeks ago and she found it luckily and I told her never to take it to school again but obviously she didn't listen. the phone isn;t insured so can't get it replaced, vodafone have put a block on it so whoever has found it can't use it but they said the only thing they can do is send out another sim card and I will have to buy another phone. I am just so angry with her and we have had a blazing row and now we aren't speaking, my OH has told me I have over-reacted and he has made me feel like shit. I only paid her phone bill on Friday which cost me £56, her contract is for £20 per month but she had spent £29 extra on calls phoning her boyfriend. I am sorry for going on but I just need to vent my frustration somewhere. It looks like a gain is on the cards for me this week as I have had a few glasses of wine tonight and to be honest I have needed them!! Sorry for letting the side down but I will be extra good tomorrow xx

I'm so sorry to hear everything is getting to you. I don't think you are overreacting about the phone. When I was 16 my parents got a HUGE phone bill (also because of a boy) and the reaction I got from my parents (possibly similar to your reaction I imagine) meant that I never did it again.
And never worry about complaining on here, it is what we are here for. and if we can make you even feel slightly better then it is worth venting your frustration! Tomorrow is always another day.

You are having a bad week Lisa! Hopefully things will start getting better soon and you'll get back on track And I don't think you over-reacted at all, it's an expensive thing to take to school, if I were you I'd take it out of her pocket money

your week sounds bad, so must be time for it to get better soon, chin upPosted 28th January 2010 at 12:34 PM by linda35 -
Thanks so much for your kind words girls! The phone has been handed in at school today so I am feeling alot better about things today, I think she has well and truly learnt her lesson, she has been so upset over the whole thing and she is just so lucky to get it back, I have taken out insurance on it today so I ahve learnt a lesson too lol!! She still won't be allowed to take it to school though even if it is insured!! Going to go to the doctors tomorrow as I am feeling really down, don't know what is wrong with me, maybe I have SAD or something but I know I don't want to keep feeling like this, diet has goner completely to pot this week and I just hope I can recover from this slip-up as I really don't want to be gaining every week, I was doing so well and I know I can do it when I am in the right frame of mind but I just need to stay focused every week, I seem to have a couple of good weeks and then I lose focus and slip back into old ways. I am going out on saturday night with my friend so am just going to try and enjoy myself and not dwell on this week then start a fresh on Monday but I know it's not going to be a loss on the scales for me so will just have to wait and see what the damage is on Monday and then hopefully it will give me a much needed kick up the arse!!Posted 28th January 2010 at 04:30 PM by lillyrose4 -
Glad to hear you got the phone back. I didn't insure my TV, except on the house insurance and my son didn't put the wrist strap on the wii remote while he was playing baseball on it. You can probably guess what's coming!! It was Boxing Day 2008. There was the screen all pixellated with a big crack that looked like a spiders web in the bottom corner. We managed to buy a new telly in the sales and I had to claim on the house insurance. I've never seen my son look really scared before
You did the right thing though cos you have to let them know when things are important or how would they learn any values?
Enjoy your weekend Lisa and get yourself back on track, you did great on the Christmas challenge and I'm sure you can do it again. Good luck xxPosted 28th January 2010 at 06:21 PM by LizzieM - Lizzie, OMG @ the T.V!! My kids never put the wrist strap on when they are playing on the Wii, they will do from now on though when I tell them about what happened to you lol!! I am feeling more positive today, so fingers crossed I can get back on track, think I am just having one of those weeks when everything just gets too much, am looking forward to my night out tomorrow, it's been ages since I had a girlie night out, not looking forward to the hangover on Sunday though lol!! xxPosted 29th January 2010 at 10:47 AM by lillyrose4
- We all have those weeks Lisa. I'm having a bottle of wine cos I've been such a good girl all week, lol xxPosted 29th January 2010 at 10:52 PM by LizzieM
- I'm so sorry things are hard for you Lisa. Do you think maybe anti depressants might help? They can be a great help when life's difficult. Thinking of you,allow yourself off-track time with the diet but I know you won't give up as square 1 is not a good place to be xxPosted 30th January 2010 at 09:56 PM by Susie
