Just thought I would start up this popular thread once again ....... as we seem to have temporarily lost the last one :?
I am still trying to find out exactly what went wrong .... may take a bit of time, but never mind ...... we can continue our amazing postings as per usual :ok:
It's tipping it down here which makes a change, and they promise gales for this evening ... so that will be something to look forward to :roll:
Yes, pouring with rain here too - I've booked a taxi to take me to and from my course this afternoon as I didn't fancy waiting for a bus in this :shock:
and thanks katie. it was nice to finally offered after writing them so many pieces!
what creative writing course is this daisy? id love to do one of those. let me know how you get on, and if you ever want anyone to read your stuff...
mind you i know how nerve wracking that can be :oops: i still havent got up the courage to send any of my stuff so someone here who was interested in seeing it :doh:
fiction is so personal though isn't it? im much more comfortable writing articles and stuff. i dont think my fiction's really up to much in all honesty! :lol:
Well done Trees, glad we're having a party :diva: :bubbly:
Oh dear, I'm afraid the creative writing course is a no-go, although I did go!
It went on for 3 hours :shock: and I had to ask to leave after about 2 and a half hours as I was feeling soooooo ill :weird:
It was far too much for me, lengthwise and nervous-energy wise and I just couldn't cope with it emotionally or physically. :wah:
There were only 5 others on the course and a lot of it was working in pairs (ugh); so I'm afraid I don't think I'll be going back and Trees will have the honour of continuing to be our one-and-only writer-in residence : :ok:
I'm feeling pretty ill now so will go and eat something :roll:
Thank you Katie, for deleting my duplicate post, and for your very kind words :blush: !
Glad I'm not the only one who finds these things too much - I felt so silly leaving them all. :oops:
Still, better that than feeling even worse than I did already I suppose. :roll:
Yes, I have a horrible feeling that the thread problems may be a hacker-type thingy, not that I understand that sort of thing, or, indeed, why anyone would want to do it :huh:
Anyway, we will not be defeated and will continue regardless :cheers: :diva: :hug:
Sorry Daisy my brain is not working, I pressed the wrong button. I am sorry your course was too much for you. It's so hard for us to try to do normal things people take for advantage.
im not surprised it was too much, 3 hours is a lot for anyone, not to mention us pacers
i find i can only work or do my german for very limited periods of time - 20-40 mins before i need a long break. perhaps you could find a shorter class, or even do one online?
Just found my post about my G.P visit. Thanks for your replies.
My fingers started to swell last night again and they have been swelling on and off all day. They get really hot first, especially when i have been working with them.
My knees and ankles were a bit spongy too. I have my blood tests booked for tomorrow night.
I'm not ok, I feel really really ill and I have got my psychotherapy tomorrow. If I cancel again they will chuck me out. I have already deferred it twice.
I haven't got my car this week and the snow and ice and slush is making everything difficult.
Sorry, I have read all these posts and now I have forgotten what is happening with you all. it's not that I don't care, I just can't do it today. :cry:
As Teedie says, your psychotherapist surely realises that ME sufferers can't do everything to order :? There are times when we just can't keep appointments
Hope you feel better in the morning, but if you don't, the appointment will just have to be shelved ...... surely they will understand
Teedie .... gawd that's a pain about your swollen fingers ... I guess your blood tests tomorrow will hopefully throw some light on things :?
Sorry we forgot your birthday (and your daughters) .... made a note to say a 'Happy Birthday' and then forgot :roll: Do hope you both had a really good time :diva: :cheers:
Take care everyone ..... Lou, I've been following the news too .... what a nightmare situation in Melbourne ....... and most of the fires seem to have been started deliberately Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who are suffering :cry:
