h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well i've got a great day today . I am keeping an eye on my brothers house whilst he is at work on the other side of this earth, he lives about 40 miles away, so not on my door step. The last time i checked it, everything was ok. This was before my op. Anyway i had a phone call from his neighbour to say there was a notice on his door, from the local district council, it was an abaitment notice (spelling perhaps wrong) giving him 21 days to clear all the poo etc in his back yard. POO ermmmmmmmmm what poo???? It seems someone has tipped aprox 10 big black bin bags of cat litter...including cat poo all over his back yard!!!!! The enviromental officer said the stench is bad!!! Great!!! Who on earth would do something like this???? The thing is even the local tip wont tak it as it is classed as an enviromental hazard......first time i have ever heard of that, i mean i have 2 cats but i place the cat lit in a carrier bag tie it up and pop it in my bin. I i think baby's nappys are disposed of in the same manner. So it looks folks that i have a pooey day ahead of me........lovely!!!!! Wish i knew who it was cause i would go and dump it back on their back yard just where it belongs!!!!

.....that is absolutely disgusting...and i dont thnk you should have to clean it up either.you cant be held responsible for doing that surely diane..and in his absence i would have thought the council would havesent someone in to do it....i would make it my business(pardon the pun) to find out who put it there,,and POST it back to them!!!!!ooohhhhh i dont envy you one little bit .goood luck.xxxxxxx

Ooh-Err! What happens if the stuff hasn't been moved by the 21 day deadline? If someone has fly-tipped this stuff in your brother's garden, isn't there a council number to phone to get fly-tipped stuff removed?

Your brother can't do it. You've recently had an operation so you can't do it (risk of infection).

Hi Sal and Nige, well all i can say is YUK!!! My hubby cleared it although now i have to organise the local council to come and collect the bags ready for disposal. It did fill 10 bags too!!! I was hoping that it was over exagerated, but no such luck!!! My hubby was a star he wouldn't even let me out of the house bless. So i sorted out the mail. Just hope the annonomus cat litter dumper does not return or else we will have to keep a day and night vigil, and go and dump it back on thier yard!!! Perhaps with a little added extra on top....just for good luck of course!!! Diane xxx

aawwww,bless him,isnt that lovely of him.i cant believe anyone could be so disgusting as to even keep it to put in your brothers garden.i would have gone round the heighbours asking if they'd seen anything.there are some mindless morons ou there diane...i just hope that if it happens again you'll call the police..hope youre feeling better? salxx

Hi Sal,

I would go round to the neighbours but if i stir up any trouble the house is at their disposal, as i aint there!! The direct neighbour is elderly and on the other side its empty. But i will call the police if it dare to happens again!! But then again what will they do sod all as usual!!! At least its sorted now, just fingers crossed it wont happen again!!!
How are you anyway Diane xxxxxxx

hi diane.i arent too bad up and down a bit this last week,but ive been worse.i dont seem to be doing much at all..i think its just laziness.....but the weather isnt doing me any favours!!!how are you going with the aftermath od the operation.when does everything come pff,so you can try and get back to normal?????i havent noticed you online ,but then with all the probs after the upgrade a few people seem to be missing.i hope you dont have to call the police ,as you said they wont be able to do much i dont suppose....which makes the situation even more frustrating.i am just having a nicehavent been up long.......you see it is laziness!!!!!!look forward to hearing from you.ns salxxx

Hi Sal, you are right i havnt been on here much as i seem to have had an influx of new clients which always takes longer at first. I have also been very busy trying to help out a few that are less than fortunate than myself and are going through a very rough time. I get very involved with regards to the eating disorders scene, something very close to my heart, as even though i would not class myself as having an ED now, i do still have problems. So i have been either e mailing, texting, etc etc., but it is reassuring that at least i can not only help those that want to lose weight but those that have problems with regards to food too.
As for the corset, well its still there although i am not wearing it 24/7...i know i should but it really gets on my nerves and no way ho say can i go to the loo in it!!! But when i am out it comes with me, and when i get dressed which depends on what i am doing (i just love my dressing gown!!) i pop it on then. I am due to measure myself in those places soon so will let you know what the results are, should be quite interesting. I dont know you lazy...........never!! Diane x

wwooowwww,someone else who shares a passion for dressing gowns!!!i mine,and the soft fluffy one has just come out,cos it's cold enough now!!!i think it must be like a security blanket!!!!xxx

dedHi Ya Sal, dont talk to me about dressing gowns i have loads. I brought a really nice white fluffy one about 3 weeks ago. I decided to put it on a boil wash with a few tops, arghhhh now it is a pale shade of grey!!! So i have brought a colour run remover, rubbish and now i have dyed it red, my daughter says it looks like i am trying to dress up as santa!!! Its still cuddly though. Because of my weight now, i am cold most of the time, so i could wear it on top of my normal clothes as well. he he. Diane xxx

hi diane,ne,my favourite one is a big fluffy pinpink one......excuse the extra letters...my keybeyboard had aad a mind of its own sn since the t/w upgrade......but i like the cotton ones es es best of all.cos its always lovely weather wr when iwear them.....usually on hols!!!hope youreokay love......i arent too brilliant just now....no.no idea why thy though!!chat soon i hope.>salxxx

What wrong Sal chick?
I am not too bad, apart from the monthlys coming at weird times arghhh is it the menopause i ask, but i am only just 40? the last 2 months it has been 23 days...far too early and it is exhausting me. We could always have a feel good Diane xxx

hi there diane.i just found your posting,,sorry rry i idnt find it earlier.i am going through a bout of de depression,and fr some reason i cant get rid of it thsi tii time.its only been a couple of eeks,but it fe feels like months !!!!i'll be fine though .i have two new lots of medication,and i realy dont want to try either of them,,,,i dont like the soundound of the side effects with either.
i understand how you fu feel if your in the "change",and you certertainly arent too young.i was 3as 38 whenmine started,and it was allover with when i was 43.it3.it isnt alwaysways very pleasent though,is it.if you want to be sure..go an and ask for a blood test.....they can tell from that.at.i hope your feeling ng better now,and would lovelove to know how how the op went...we dont seem tm to have had time for achat lately do we.xcuse the extra letters....ive ben upgradedaded by telewest.........speaks volumes,doesnt it!!take ake care.n>n>s salxxxx

Hi Sal, you dont feel too well yourself. I am too feeling rather ermmmmm well i cant really explain, only to say i have admitted to my husband and closest friend i have the eating disorder back arghhhhhh after all these years i feel as if i had buried it once and for all. But no it has me in its grasps again and i have now booked an appointment with the docs on the 17th see if i can get any help...last time i was told to get my act together...if only it were that easy. I think its a bit like a marriage guidence councellor having marriage guidence themselves!!!! Stupid i know. I have fought with this for long enough, and i know it does not make any difference with the job i do, in fact it makes me what i feel would be a more understanding consultant. My brother said hey its like a docter telling you to stop drinking, then going to the pub at night,no different really. This time i hope i am taken seriouslyas i can't see and end to this web i have tangled myself up in
You take care to honey Diane xx

hi diane...i'm that youre having problems .dont e too hard on yourself though...and i think you should remember youve cracked this once..you can do it again.
i know....easier said than done.....as with depression its no good sayinying get over it..it's up to you you,but once you know ow youve comeout of the right side once it doesnt defeat you again.it still comes backa second time,me,but you have the strength to overcome it,and you know that hat you have.if you want to chatchat i'm usually around...justjust shout help!!!xcuse my stupid keyboard..it hit has a mind of its own!!!!chat son n ,you take care,ns sal

Thanks for your words of encourgement Sal, yesterday was difficult, because i not only had a long talk to hubby, but my nearest and dearest friend too. It hurt.
Perhaps if i was not in the profession i would be able to handle this better. But i love my job and i will not stop it. It makes me want to fight for them too, to beat this hell we are all wrapped up in. Why can't we all eat what the hell we like be healthy and slim????? Million dollar question i know.
He he your keyboard is making me hoot Diane xxx

hi diane..my keyboard makes me s salxxxx

Morning Sal , i know how you feel when you talk about your size because i to have been larger a size 18/20 depending where i got my clothes from. Nobody likes me any less or any more no matter what size i am. Its me that does not like me when i am large.....please don't take any offence here as none is meant honestly. If i had to say I would kill for a bag and fish and chips and a cream bun i would, but then i would not be able to cope with the guilt trips after. When ii see my clients i see them for who they are on the inside, because i have been there and i think that is what makes me the person i am. It must be terrififing when i have to measure some, and i need 2 tapes to get around their tummys, but because i put them so much aat ease they find it exciting when i tell them how many inches they have lost and show them where the tape was orginally. Last week i saw 3 clients whom are all related and they all burst into tears because they were so proud of themselves...thing is i could have joined them because i knew i had helped them to do it. No matter what size or shape i am i think i will always be wrapped up in this tangled mess i have got myself into. I am desperatly trying to find out the cause and reason for me being like this. I have been on other sites searching and i have come up with only a few possible reasons. When searching the main reason this can happen seems to be abuse, rape etc., but i have never really suffered from that in a big way except when i was a baby i was absused until i was 10months old, but i can't remember it, so surely that cant be the reason. Even if i knew the reason it would not stop me so why bother looking . I just hope and pray the docs take me seriously enough to get me some help to see if i can sort out this head of mine.
Hope you have a ncie weekend honey Diane xxx

hi diane...i think you might be right about the abuse thing youyou know.just because yoe you were only small,and cantcant remember it,you have obviously heard about it,so t is still there at the bhe back of your mind.the simple fact that you were violated at all.no matter what age,must be horrifiific to deal with.and you KNOW that it it happened to you.i am sure that you'll get the help you nu need......it might help to talk to others that have gone through the same thing.i .i know there are others on here in similar circumstances.....and dont dismiss that this could ld be the root of your problems.......good luck at the doctors s let me know how you go on.n<ns salxxxx

Diane, we're here for you! We love ya baby!

And thats without seeinh how trim you are now!
