Have A Good Old Moan....

^I have no idea what that is, but I assume it's what I know as an "internet stick"? Like a USB thingy, but you can get an internet connection?
If so, then you should give it a try, Janine! I have one and it's pretty cool, our internet signal doesn't reach my room, so I use that and it works pretty well 🙂

My moan is that I'm so exhausted even though I'm not doing anything. I need to make a doctor's appointment to get tested for underactive thyroid but I can't bring myself to call them. My mum has to quit her second job because the girl she's looking after wears her out so much she's been sick for two weeks now. I feel terrible because she has to work 3 jobs in the first place, so I'm considering dropping out of school and working instead. My brother has to get counseling now because he hasn't gone to school since October. My father has eczema on his hands, so he can barely play the drums anymore, and his girlfriend is just being horrible. I'm so done with everything and I don't even know what to do anymore because I'm constantly worried about everyone.

Janine why don't you try a dongle or something? You can't get unlimited on them but you can get 15 gig which 3 can cap so you don't go over your bill. If you want me to check your coverage pm me your postcode! #sales person
Haha

Heh, I probably go over that in a couple of days, yes I stream movies and TV THAT much! And no doubt it'll be like the rest of London with a shitty reception/coverage.

Me and my boyfriend of 3.5 years broke up last week -but we're stuck living in the same house. It was such a.. quiet affair that I can't quite grasp it. He just felt he'd made too many mistakes in the course of the relationship and hated that I got upset over them. (Largely he lied about something early in our relationship which my family still believe to be true and he's never introduced me to any of his family)
It feels like.. right on one level, but nothing really is changing, he's still being nice to me and we still cook together.. just none of the romance and no future.

Just feels like I've done everything I could do to make it work, and realistically it wasn't my fault.. but obviously now I feel fat, unattractive and like I'm not worth fighting for. 🙁

hey naomi, i'm at risk of having an underactive thyriod (runs in the family), and i was tested, well, am about to be thoroughly tested on the 12th at a specialist at the hospital cause i have high blood pressure (long story of being reffered to hospital consultant that's been testing me for pretty much everything) but yeah, honestly to test they'll only do a blood test and thyroid ones are over and done with quick cause they only need a little bit, i'd just get it over with then you can get it sorted with really.. i think my tiredness and everything is linked to thyroid but i haven't been to the hospital for ages so i wouldn't know if there's been any change in my blood so..

but i hope you get sorted soon <3

I also have an underactive thyroid! only borderline though. But before I was diagnosed I was exhausted all the time, everything was a massive chore, even showering. I lay in bed and wanted to cry all the time. Apparently I had a bad virus at the same time too, and those two combined made me black out and lose my memory. I was walking past my uni library which I walk past every day, had a black out, when I could see again I had absolutely no idea where I was. Luckily my mum was with me and kinda knew her way back to her hotel, as soon as I was back there I remembered. They literally just take a blood sample every six to eight weeks in the beginning, they give you tablets to balance out your thyroxine after the first results come back, I'm on the lowest amount, then test every six to eight weeks to see if its still the right level for you. Its not that bad, Honest! and I have a terrible fear of needles!

It's something else to try! You could even get a phone contract and get unlimited internet if you tether from £25 per month on a one month rolling sim oooooo haha 🙂 the 15 gig one is £15.99. Bad thing is its for 2 years, good thing is you can take it anywhere!

Meeshy, I'll keep it in mind if the internet is as bad as I fear! I guess I've just been spoiled as I had amazing (for the times) internet in Birmingham and Cambridge, and it was super dupa amazing fast when I lived in East Finchley. Here in Mill Hill it's still very good and I've got SO used to streaming I find it hard to imagine living without it. We're on about 15+mb per second here.

My god I'm sounding like a total brat lol

Thanks for the advice, Amy and Poh! 🙂
The bit about everything being a chore sounds *just* like me...I'll make an appointment right after school today, I think, since that's the only time of the day when I'm not tired for some reason. I'll let you know how it goes!

ha janine no you dont slow internet is such a pain in the chuff!

I've got a double moan. I spilled a large mug of boiling water over my chest and tummy earlier (things we do for entertainment eh) It's all blistering and peeling so I've had to have a nurse cover me in bandages and dressings. It's agony and I'm cursing myself being so clumsy.

The second moan is I can't shower or get it wet so my adore aquamarine is going to have to wait until next week now. I've been looking forward to doing it on saturday!! I ended up going to the surgery with green hair and gingery blonde roots, not my best look lol

oh my goodness, you poor thing! Hope it gets better soon!

my moan is im just feeling quite down really, and it doesnt help that ive been ill all weak with a horrid cold and bad chest and vomiting 🙁

My little dwarf hamster Moffin just passed away about an hour or two ago. He had a very peaceful passing, just snuggled down and fell asleep, and I guess I'm kind of glad about that. He outlived his life expectancy by a full year, and up till this morning was still super lively and happy. He was still warm when I found him, so I held him for a bit to say goodbye.

He meant the world to me. I miss him so freaking much already. I know most people think "oh, it's just a hamster", but he was my baby and one of my best friends. Even my boyfriend got jealous of how much I loved him. I'm devastated and heartbroken. Can't stop crying.

I've only ever had small burns before which were painful but this is making me feel sick with pain.

I feel for you, colds are horrible and it feels like they're lasting forever 🙁 Maybe you need some antibiotics if it's turned into a chest infection?

Awww (((Mouse))) I'm really sorry about Moffin. I have ratties and know what a short life they have.  Take some comfort that he died peacefully and quickly and he was obviously well cared for, it's all any of us can do for our loved ones and that includes those with fur or feathers.

Mouse I'm so sorry 🙁 xxxxxxxxxxx
