Let's make Christmas fun

Good morning everybody,

Only four sleeps to go now!!!!!! I'm not sure how much work is happening in the SANE office at the moment. @Former-Member @Former-Member @NikNik and @Former-Member seem to have already given up on work entirely for the year! https://www.jibjab.com/view/make/Elf_snowball_fight/cbc4198e-aa69-4505-ac90-5dd841b55d4f

Guess what? It seems that during the night my cat (S) gave Santa a call and requested my big book. Um...yeah...does anyone have any suggestions about how I might be able to bribe Santa??? https://www.portablenorthpole.com/en/player/5a3ac89600bb1-5a3ac89600c55

Merry Christmas!

Oh @Phoenix_Rising, after sitting through the 6 mins of Santa's video, I was terribly disappointed to see that you are on his 'naughty' list. How could that possibly be so? Perhaps your cat (s) has been telling tales? I wouldnt suggest that you bribe Santa however, because that will likely keep you on his naughty list. I think, if you just keep being the lovely generous and giving Phoenix that you are, then Santa will soon transfer you onto his nice list.

Ha ha and I see what @Former-Member @Former-Member @NikNik and @Former-Member have been up to with their snowball fights. I guess they are allowed to have some time off for some fun and games too. Good to see. Wish I could have joined in the fun. Yesterday was so hot here, snow would have been pure bliss.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all the Forumites who frequent this thread.

@Former-Member Giggle. It's ok. I think if I eat a year's worth of vegetables before Santa does his final checks tomorrow, I should be able to get onto his nice list. {Wanders off to buy a year's worth of vegetables}.

Hello everyone, just trucking in some gifts to put under the huge forum tree

@Phoenix_Rising

thank you for continuing to add me on your list for this thread...

you are doing a fabulous job...so wonderful also to see how much joy you are receiving back for all of your hard work...

another Phoenix is rising....you deserve every bit of the glow that this brings..

I am staying in the background...observing from time to time...

will definitely come back and check the whole thread out when life settles for me...

2017 christmas

Ho ho ho @Phoenix_Rising. A years worth of veges in only a couple of days? I think your chances of that are Buckleys or none. Or in a more Christmasy vein "a snowballs chance in hell". Why not just continue being you, and they will forgive you not eating all your veges. Nobody is good all the time. We all have to have our little faults. It doesnt mean we arent still NICE, and deserving of Santa's pressie. You're definitely in my GOOD BOOKS.

Don't worry about Santa's Nice List @Phoenix_Rising. I found the perfect gift for you..

In Paris!!!

omg @Bunniekins you are very nice....

How are you this morning? I woke up very late.....thank goodness I'm not working this morning. I was supposed to but am working tomorrow.

Can you celebrate Christmas by seeing how much better and sronger you are?

When I fist joined Sane forums, I was very burnt out and not coping at all.

I had just put a restraining order on Mr g......I was waiting for him to get better and get home but also was not coping as had just moved into another suburb and into a public housing complex.

Jeepers......I started writing, just writing and a wonderful moderator and me were discussing how emotionally frazzled I was. We decided that I could work and so I did that again.....but one day I woke up and couldnt work anymore. I couldnt get out of bed!

So, after working fulltime for 2 months, I cut right right down to 5 h ours per week......this suited me very good.

Now, I work only 2 hours per week......this is all I can do. It sometimes makes me think.......wow.....I used to work 50 to 70 hours w week only 10 years ago.......weird.......but I feel better because I'm learning more about myself and my love for Mr g though can be hairy is something that is very good.

I think my artwork is definatly better.

But age and mental health is so much better isn't it.

Whe I see your picture, I reminds me of when I was in Israel when I was 19 years old......what interesting times that was.

Can you tell me a little about your life and tell me: how do you feel your life has changed really for the better ( like me) .....

@PeppiPatty Hi PeppiPatty I am alot better than I was last night. Calmed down alot ... I upped my mood stabilizer and I think that helped me sleep and I feel a bit groggy now but in a good way.

Can you celebrate Christmas by seeing how much better and sronger you are?

I would love to go to Israel and work ona kibbutz ... one of the things on my bucket list. As for working like you I was working and then BAM! I couldnt work anymore ... it was like my brain span out of control. It was doing 360s all over the place!!!! I am now in a position where I am in my 50s and it is very hard to find work ... to be mad and to be looking for work is hard but not impossible but I want to get better first before I consider doing work.

I love being single, I love my kids and I luv my furry friend. I have decided this coming year to get fit. I no longer drink, I have given up chocolate and sugary things!!!!!!! Yes no more donuts ... (day two and I dont miss them either). I plan to continue on with my studies and try and rein in my mind which is sprilling out of control. However as @Former-Member 's post on being inuititive shows maybe that is not such a bad thing after all.
