Introduction - Hello Everyone

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

Bluberry said:So, pay your eldest D out for their property? or child support? I don't know the story here. Whatever he owes her and the children, do it via family court esp. if it's child support. DON'T ever go private arrangements with this matter. Do it right the first time 'round. It'll save your daughter a lot of heartache later down the track if he reneges on deal.

Lol I know Blubes... been through it TWICE myself.

Property not child support. Between us IF it was child support then she would have to pay HIM.

Moving on.....

Monkey, Ems, Mocha,

I was thinking .. you know what would be even better with BB forum? If it were live. Like a chat room type set-up where ppl receive instant messaging. That'll be cool.

I saw a thread somewhere here where it asks for any improvements to the BB forums.

You can post that suggestion there if you like.

The kids are all playing One Night Werewolf etc and laughing their heads off lol.

OMG DID you see the AWESOME Shakespeare series on ABC iView????
Hamlet disappears at 11am tomorrow. WATCH IF YOU CAN!
David Tennant is a wonderful narrator and acts in bits along the way.
His interview with Jude Law is so lovely.

I might watch it again for the 4th time lol and then say goodbye to it! Boohooo.

Then I'm going to have a look at some of my organisers then do some reading.

Talk later lovelies!
Love EM

Ems,
Kids are playing werewolves, thats so sweet. Bless their lil' souls. Sounds like theyre having a blast. Do you remember when you were a child playing those kind of games? No responsibility, no fear, anxiety. Nothing compared to adulthood.
Enjoy your book Ems. Thanks for the lovely chat today. I needed this tonight. I'm going to have an early night and hopefully sleep well, fingers crossed.
Gnite all.

Hey Mocha delight,

Oh don't be sorry at all. I've got a car, it's just old, 2000 model with no aircond and wanted a newer one.

3 months isn't long to wait...and the anticipation is exciting. I've also got more time to look at other cars.

Blubes- live chat prob couldn't be moderated, or if it is it'll take a long time between chats. Some people get very close on here and have written to each other over years. Some ppl from over 3 1/2 years ago when I started are still here. Croix was the first person to have written to me. It would be great to be able to have a coffee with some members but BB have kept this space annonymous. All we really have are our words.

It's going to be a gorgeous day today.

🌻

It is a beautiful day today. Glorious.
Update: covid restrictions. Curfew has been lifted. However, nothing to do as businesses still haven't opened up yet. No retail, pubs or beauty. 5 outside (publuc) gatherings, not at home though - i have no friends anyway, doesnt apply.
Fishing, hiking allowed for 2 hrs.
Shame as real time chats would be good.

Tonight's dinner will be healthier. Going to have panfried Barramundi with hollandaise sauce, broccili & salad balsamic dressing.

Sounds yummo! Except I don't eat fish lol, the salad sounds yummy.

I bought 3 boneless pork chops today in a packet.
Then found a Thai salad with it's own dressing packet (not sure if I'll like it).

If I have that every night for 3 nights then at least I've eaten lol.

Plus I bought 2 creme caramels for dessert.

I've been fiddling a fussing with these AWESOME organisers. I bought 2 turnstile ones for make-up, perfumes, moisturisers etc. Yvette said she didn't want hers lol.... Oppositional Defiance Disorder, she would've complained if I DIDN'T buy her one.

Plus a turnstile thingy with a rubber mat for some of my cupboard sauces. I went through this and THREE of about 4 things I use often UGH. I put some others in my cleaned out fridge.
I cleaned out my fridge today. Now my bin stinks GRRRR.

I'm down to 1 HUGE plastic container of Church food left. Yay. Getting there.

THEN I got into my Antique sideboard and started splitting things into categories. I LOVE the bamboo dividers I got. So sweet! And cheap! Lol.
I took ALL the "not dining room things" to the kid's rooms - they will NOT be happy with that.
Too bad too sad, I've had enough.

There were 8 opened cereals gone stale. So they're going in the chook's bin. I'm moving the chook's seed bin to the side of the house.

I need to go back to my bedroom. I want THAT Sorted so desperately. I need to get all my craft things out except for a couple to do ongoing. All the "not bedroom things" and all the stored things OUT.

You see I had to bring EVERYTHING of value into a few rooms to keep secure. It's taking me a long time to get to thinking about it. The overcrowding was encroaching and making me feel suffocated.

Time for a re-organise and clear out. It's taking a LONG time lol but there's a lotta stuff!

Hope you're having equal excitement lol.

Love EM

Hi blueberry, ecomama and monkey_magic how are you all today? Today’s not such a great day for me as I’m feeling really frustrated today as if it’s not mental health issues it’s either family or health issues. I got a phone appointment with my gp tomorrow which I’ll have to talk about my blood pressure as again both the top & low ends are getting a bit to low again like I just took it not long ago with the blood pressure wrist monitor I have and it was 99 over 56.

Hi Mocha,
What is 99/56? I'm taking thats notnormal?
Good luck with GP

Not sure but I’ll find out but I had a appointment with my gp anyways
