hello from the midlands

[summer.wolf]

Hello all. I am a new member here. Probably my story is familiar to many. My mum suffered bipolar borderline schizophrenia runs in the family. Self harmed as a teenager, swing from depression to anxiety over several years. Currently feel powerless in bad situation at work, serious money problems and basically killing the feelings with alcohol. I don't know where to turn any more. My family and colleagues have no idea. I don't have friends. Guess this is the first time I have been really honest. Help! Thanks for listening.

I won't, you've got Yum-Yums up there!

Its the local food for us, the oatcake, a bit like a pancake.

Yum yums?

[MyNameIsTerry]

I've had them in York. We don't get them around here much and I was led to believe they were more from up that way.

They are a lovely sweet pastry roll. Very nice!

Ooh will have to do some exploration when I visit in July. Haven't been York since I was tiny! Hope you are well and your day is going OK anyway. X

Very! They sell yum yums in gregs :D also :welcome:

I'm in the midlands too! staffordshire. Originally from Essex, where they harvest rapeseed oil and have a lot of laboratories but no notable cake. I love the midlands, even the posh restaurants have ketchup.

[summer.wolf]

Love Greggs sausage rolls. Yeah much prefer the midlands to up north.

[xrachykinsx]

Yum yums?..... you can get them in greggs anywhere! :yesyes:
