Thread: Anyone else need a hug?

I've been trying to find Angel's thread from last year to reclaim some of my hugs but I can't find it.

I'm need of a hugfest, and I just wondered if I could help anyone else out....

I need some happy news, some 'life isn't that bad' news.......going off to see what I can find on the internet....

Is anyone else fed up of the doom and gloom, or had a big set-back?

Can someone persuade me that life's going to get better? Or give me a big loving slap?

(sorry I'm a bit drunk)

Lot and lots of, also slightly drunk, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

:hug::hug::hug::hug:

Currently, most of my life seems to be a huge set-back...

Still... :hug: :hug:

I could have done with one yesterday. After managing to upset people the day before with my verbal clumsiness, I had a bit of a run in on another forum, and then I went off to my Saturday night bar job, which I wasn't in the mood for, where I got groped every ten minutes and the other girl doing the same job was undercutting me so I couldn't get any sales (and I'm on commission, so that was irritating).

Then at the end of the night we counted up and she'd made less cash than me, despite undercutting and having worked longer than me. AND I'd got fed up with it halfway through the shift and slacked off, so I wasn't working half as hard as on any other night. I felt rather vindicated - but she must have been really lax ...

Ohhh Fleur! Bless you!!! xx

:hug: :hug:

Tempest, you have been so good to me when I have needed it so I think you are absolutely wonderful. I am so much more than happy to send hugs whenever you want them.

I don't know whether things for any of us will get better but I do know that we all have great things to be pleased about, just by being part of this fabulous group on here. And part of the reason this group is so great is because of you.

:hug: :hug:

you big noodle, why didn't you come and get a hug then.....don't give me any of the stoical 'I'm Fleur I'm fine' business. We love you.....well I do, and I'm pretty sure lots of others do too. I love your foot-in-mouthness, it makes me smile and if people read enough of your posts they can see past the rather brusque (is that a real word?) front you put on and see the lovely caring person you are.....and god you make me laugh!!! If anyone has fault with you they'll have to deal with me first (and be warned tonight I'm a rather tipsy Northern-chick with my dukes up....puddam up....pudddddam up......

big hugs to you and anyone else who needs them and hasn't asked :hug::hug:

I don't care how many times people put down the MoB love-fests.....they get me through the bad days and keep me going

Hello matey,

I could've done with a hug yesterday; actually, to be honest, if anyone did, I probably would've burst into tears, so probably best not. It's a minor thing really.

I usually have a reasonable grasp of what makes me tick. I have no real issue with people taking snaps of me, it's sorta real life, innit. Photos are good memories of events, and while I'm not the greatest exhibitionist, I don't go all gurly and hide.

However yesterday I got the real jitters about having professional photos taken, and I have no idea why - well actually I think I do, but it's a bit silly. It's been bothering me all day. It's something I shoud've relished, but kinda froze. Deb was truly great though - can't commend her highly enough.

Perhaps I'm not as confident as I thought, but it's thrown me a bit. Perhaps I need to invest in a full-length mirror in my tiny flat so I get more used to seeing me. Dunno. I suppose I get protective of myself in situations where I might end up... disappointed. Which I'm sure I won't be, but y'know. I waited with much dread and trepidation when my last workshop photos arrived, and they turned out OK, despite 'filing' the CD away and waiting several weeks to look at them.

Anyway, sorry about that, but I think that expressing it 'out loud' helped.
