Ta BC...i love pointy shoes, all of my shoes are really pointed..except the open toe ones obviously. I blame it on my mum for making me wear clarks shoes as a kid ,when all my friends were wearing Freeman hardy Willis fashion shoes! Mind you, i have very straight toes, so she did me a favour...poor mum..i hated clarks and always cried and whined when it was shoe buying time!:lol:
Can anyone advise me...

Can anyone advise me...
... on how one goes about applying for a housing association flat?
I have no idea and I need to find out.
Also, what the rent would roughly be like on one?
Long shot but thought it worth a try.
Answer:
I haven't a clue, but your local CAB should be able to tell you!
Answer:
Oh thanks. Good idea. x
Answer:
I was going to suggest that, or maybe ring your local town hall/council offices?
My friend is in a housing association flat and her rent was something like £40 a week last year - she is a student though, so not sure whether that made a difference?
Hope you get something sorted Lucy :fingers:
Answer:
Thank you very much GJ. I'm getting phone no's off the net to call them now.
Cheers lovey. :hug:

How do you deal with Anxiety?
NO.5. ask :
How do you deal with Anxiety?
I thought i'd post here as I post mainly in fashion Beauty.
I have always suffered from anxiety but recently It's getting worse.
I constantly have butterflies in my tummy and feel like something dreadful is gonna happen.
My self esteem is quite low as well. I feel no-one likes me, stupid and I constantly feel like I'm no good at things.
I'm temping at the mo and I feel like everyone is talking about me all of the time. I also feel like I'm not doing a good job and that I'm gonna make a mistake.
I know that can't be the case as I have a good chance of taking on a senior role there and the manager like me but I keep thinking I'm gonna make a huge mistake soon.
I get quite scared socially too, which doesn't help with the work problems.
I find It hard to motivate myself too. Sometimes I wake up and don't want to get out of bed, just sleep.
I'd be quite happy just staying at home with Mr Tigs forever!
Take today for example. i have nothing to do and I'm not even dressed yet!
I sometimes feel ashamed about how I feel. My life is far from bad compared to alot of people. I have my health, a good family, mr tigs, great friends, a lovely home, no money issues.
Why do I feel like this?
I've been to my Doctors before, she put me onto Anti depressents.
They worked but I came off of them.
I have seen a therapist and that didn't work.
i just don't know what the next step is.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Answer:
I feel like a lot of what you have said :uzzle:
I go through those phases too where I just want to lock myself up and have no contact with anyone. I feel terribly self conscious around groups of people too :cmdunno:
I guess you have to start putting things into perspective, as you said you are much better off than so many other people out there. You have to find little things that relax you and release the anxiety. Communicate with work people more and you'll find they probably think you are a lovely person! If you constantly have butterflies in your tummy then just stop concentrating so much on the current.
Are there any other underlying issues do you think that make you feel this way?
Answer:
Hi Dooz, thanks for your reply.
It's a bit of a comfort to know that other people feel this way too. sometimes you feel like your the only person in the world who feels this way.
I can't think of any underlying problems. I've had a good upbringing with no real issues.
I do have a bit of a problem with myself looks wise.
I am overweight (but on a diet ;) ) and I constantly fiddle with my hair and make up thinking that everyone is looking at me thinking how ugly I am (I know it sounds silly)
I guess I'm gonna have to start thinking more positively. I'm quite a negative person anyway
Answer:
No I definitely know what you mean! I am so self conscious about the way I look to the point that people think I'm vain because I constantly check the mirror to make sure everything is fine :cmdunno: I think it's because I had quite terrible skin a little while ago (I still go through phases of bad skin but it was a lot worse before) I feel like no one is looking at me, all they can see is my spots :rolleyes: Hence I'm really obsessive with foundations/concealers etc. Sometimes I really didn't feel like getting out of bed because I was feeling so ugly.
It sounds so lame now that I've written it out, you're probably thinking 'GET A GRIP WOMAN!' but it's so easy to exagerrate little things in your head like that.
If you feel unhappy about your weight or whatever, take a positive change as you are doing with the diet :) It will make you feel good about yourself and improve your health and wellbeing. Do little things like getting a haircut/ buying a new nail varnish to cheer yourself up. BTW I'm really sorry if I'm chatting crap and advising you to spend money to feel better but I'm just telling you what helps me :lol: Oh and go on a job with your OH, it's really fun because you can motivate each other :D
Answer:
I feel great for the week after my period and I am very hormonal most of the time.I get paranoid that people don't like me, I get really lonely and feel muddled and lost on the week up to my period. I find that exercise helps so much even if it's just half an hour in the gym or a brisk walk.
