The only reason I thought about going for counselling is because nothing ever changes in my life and I feel stuck in my life currently. I had a 15 minute chat with my potential counsellor, but she...
I desperately want to move, I've no support anywhere. Should I apply for jobs first or what should be my first course of action? I saw a house go up for sale today and it got me thinking how life...
I've decided if there is going to be another heatwave after these two current days, then I'm going to get a unit. They are heavily expensive, but I want to know if they're worth purchasing....

I'm 51 and not married. It never happened, plus I'm a committed Christian and always 'waited' for that special someone. Well, they never showed up! I have accepted this now, but my mum never lets go...
