On The Verge Of A Mental Breakdown!!

[MadMen]

As above, I am on the verge of a mental breakdown!!

Went on holiday on Monday. Was really, really looking forward to some sun, and spending some time with a friend(ish).
Well, it was a complete and utter disaster. I had a massive panic attack (like, literally, it couldn't have been any worse!) my friend said I was some kind of mentalist, and I had to pay £160, yes £160 just to change my return flight home!! :-(

Have I missed anything exciting? I hope so. I need something, anything, to cheer myself up...

[murraymints]

Oh dear mm... how are you now ?

[MadMen]

Oh god, completely forgot to say, I am also on a totally new laptop (not mine) that I have no idea how to use (windows 8) as I threw mine to the floor and the screen is totally wonderfully fluffed!! :-(

[lcg]

what a lovely friend....i hope you told them they were being a tw@. at least you are back in familiar fields now.....x

[DTCwordfan]

be optimistic - you probably would have spent £200 on wine, suntan cream and all the rest, so you have saved money!

[vodkancoke]

Yikes MM, poor you. Were you away somewhere nice? x

[tamborine]

wasn't a 2 camel swap for you enough - lol

[murraymints]

You've been a bit stressed what with fridge ..couch etc. Maybe going away with someone who was only an ish friend not a good idea....not very supportive or constructive to name call...you need to be with folks you know and trust...

[MadMen]

Lcg, he was a complete and utter Snag! Said I was "mental" and that I should "get a grip".
Ok, so I know I probably should have, but it's easier said than done, and when I'm 'on one' (panic/anxiety) then there's not much I can do about it.

DT, lol. Yeah, good point!! :-) Have I missed much?

V&C, I went to Egypt. I hadn't planned it. It was very much by 'surprise'. I thought I was looking forward to it, but I think it was just all a bit last minute. I only found out where I was going the day before. I'd had no time to get injections or anything - which might have been why I was so anxious.

[MadMen]

Lol Tambo. There was no camel ugly enough.... :P

[DTCwordfan]

well ummmm and fgt are in their usual place having tried to needle JJ.

[MadMen]

Murray, I think you've hit the nail right on the head there!
I did think it would be good to 'get away', but didn't really think too much about the company I was going with. I missed my kids. It was the first time I've ever been away from them. My friend didn't seem to grasp this either. Muppet...

[MadMen]

Dt, eh? They've been suspended? What happened? :-/

[tamborine]

you shudda booked into another hotel & enjoyed the wonders of Egypt. You missed the sphynx, pyramids, babylon, Artmis temple, Aswan. Then to Sharm diving to view coral reef & fish etc etc etc.

You are mad to miss all that.

[MadMen]

Tambo, yes, I am well aware of all that. I am also well aware of the face I'm mental!!! :-((

[tamborine]

You're not mental, just wrong company. Take the kids, you'll all love it.

[Fanriffic]

This will cheer you up. He's so bad he's good.

Failing that check out the Jokes section on this website.

Fanriffic, I will have to watch that in a bit, when i can put some headphones on. Thanks though ;-)

Not sure about the 'jokes' section. It may just throw me over the edge....

[murraymints]

Well mm it's nice to have you back ! sod im !!! Xx

[MadMen]

MM, I kid you not, on the first night there I was missing AB! That's not normal, is it! lol xx

I am on the verge of one too - had techie problems last week - got some of them solved but have now got a wavy screen when scrolling - Chuckfickens was helping me out but maybe he has gone out for the day. Hope he picks up tomorrow. I know what you are talking about - you think you need to get away and then when you are you want to be back on familiar grounds. Dont worry about your friend/ish. Bad move there. You need to know somebody to spend days with them.
