Hi all,

Just to let you know I won’t be around as from this Thursday for 9 days.

I am going for a trip around Ireland. I have a couple of pen friends over there who I was always saying that I love to meet. So my hubby went and booked it as a secret holiday for me.

One of them is a lady who mentored me from No Panic who I have kept in touch with ever since. My other pen friend I also met through No Panic.

I’m really looking forward to the holiday and meeting them both. It’s just my social anxiety and nerves [8)][:I]are playing up a lot!

Anyway Take Care All;)

Stay Well.

Love & Wishes,

PIP’S X X X X

Hi Pips

Aww thats a nice thing for your hubby to do book a break for you in Ireland (where abouts?) Ive been to Dublin for a weekend but would love to go for longer another time.

I bet you will have a great time meeting up with your pen friends. I know what you mean though re social anxiety, once there im sure you will be fine.

Tell us all about it when you get back.

Take Care

Hi Alex and Alexis,

Thanks so much for your wishes.:)

My penfriends are in Nothern Ireland Ballyclare and Lisburn. We are then going to visit The Giants Causeway. Then travelling down to the West Coast to a very remote place with no mobile signal. Which is bliss to switch of but a tad worrying to! As although I don't use my mobile much tis there if i need it. So I have all these what ifs wondering around in my mind and the old health anxiety [xx(]is kicking in a bit to![Oops!]

Who said holidays were fun and pleasurable LOL Only Joking ;)

No I'll be fine I'm sure. POSITIVE THINKING HUH!

Take Care,;)

That seems grand.

It may be scary at first, but soon after you meet your first penfriend, you will feel more relaxed I'm sure. You seemed fine up in London last August.

I'd love to go to the beaches on the west coast - makes me think of the beach scenes in "Ryan's Daughter".

Take Care,

Thanks so very much Lucy, Ray, Trac, India, Darkangel, Jean and Piglet for all your well wishes.:D :) :) :)

I'm feeling quite excited now I just had a chat with my Mentor Penfriend and her hubby is collecting us from the Guest House as he only works down the road. Taking us back to there house. Then we are all going out for a meal. My only worry is i'm not good at eating out as I suffer badly with IBS. [8)] The trouble is they more I think about it the worse I am! [Duh!] I can't win! LOL

Good Luck to you to India I hope you enjoy Cyprus and have a fab holiday. Thinking of you to.

Thanks again all.;)

Take Care,

Hi Pips,

hope you have a lovely time in Ireland, which I'm sure you will. It was lovely of your husband to do such a nice thing for you.

I know what you mean about the what if's but once your on your way I'm sure you'll be fine....and it'll be a great chance to just chill out. Thinking about things is always worse than actually doing them ( as you already know).

Good luck and have a great time!

Hi Pips

I hope you have a lovely time visiting Ireland and meeting up with your pals.

Once there I bet you will be fine and this is anticipatory anxiety.

Have fun and enjoy yourself!
