Thanks JJ Will do that.Problem is the good feeling wears off after only a short time and I'm back to square one. Perhaps I should do a "Forest Gump" and just keep going.
When I wear nail varnish I have to carry the bottle round with me for chip repair (did some repairs in a very boring meeting this morning.....did nothing else but eat lunch and feel bored for the next 3 hours....and bingo, more chips!!)
I think flr is on to something. Go and do something for yourself, have a massage, buy that 'thing' that you've been wanting for ages, go to the theatre. Do something that's gonna put a smile on ya face ))
Thanks guys, nail art could be an option but I'm not sure I could get away with it at work. Sezz, I think I just feel a bit worn out. I've had a couple of health scares recently and feel like I'm anxious all the time. My GP is lovely but doen't really get it when I try to explain that it's partly my head that needs sorting out (by me). Normally I can get a handle on these things, but at the moment I just seem to lurch from one anxiety to another. Am sure it's to do with having kids. You know what happens to me is managable, but what about them? I know I'm not alone in this, have done all the practical stuff, but one of my boys is autstic which just makes any kind of future planning rather tricky. Have just read this post and sound like total headcase. Never mind. Am going to post it anyway and see what comes back.. A clip round the ear probablt!! (No, I'm not knowingly related to Hoose!!)
Jiggi - you do NOT sound like a total headcase. You sound pretty normal actually....but rather overloaded right now.
Have you tried writing down all the things you are anxious about - and what you could do to sort them out? Sometimes this helps for me (especially if I look at my list and think...yep, I could stay under the duvet permanently, that'd stop the worry about (e.g.) crashing the car.....but it wouldn't be very much fun)
It kind of makes me look at the risk versus the down-side of avoiding the risk and put it to one side.
Alternatively I go for a run!
How old are your boys? What kind of help do you have at home (hubby? grandparents? nothing?) - can someone help give you an afternoon off for yourself?
(PS to flr....yes I do base coat and top coat. Please can you turn off the hard stare now, I'm getting nervous!)
HH thanks I will try that. My boys are 9 and 6 with the eldest of whom is autistic. I am very lucky and have a great husband who is a big help and a great Dad. I guess I am jusy feeling panicky about the future which is crazy as that really is something no one has control over. I guess that's it: I'm feeling out of control! Popsider: Thanks for that: much better! Jelly bean: I run, walk the dog and play with my kids. I live to the west of London, but don't own a gun!! Thanks for all the support guys. I feel better for off loading. Jiggs

You are Arsene Wenger and I claim my five pounds!

it takes £s
and being a lazy old slapper
oh and taking a pic of hem as soon as they are done
semi serious point though - doing something frivolous and silly FOR YOU can feel a bit of fun and make others smile too

I assume you DO do base coat and top coat (hard stare)
but I am not REALLY saying nail vanish is the way forward
problem is that the lovely Jiggi feels dull
