Terry, I'm pretty sure it's to do with the browser but it won't update. So now I'm ordering the online shopping on my mobile looking at teeny tiny pictures. I'll probably end up with goats milk, lol.

Whats it called? I’ve been watching The Wheel of Time. That’s not been too bad. Although I wish the Dragon Reborn hadn’t got himself a buzz cut….looks ridiculous.
I agree about the books. I get a lot from World of Books. Second hand but you can’t often tell.
Well, there are worse things than goat's milk, Carnation :roflmao:
Does anyone else struggle with getting attention? I mentioned awhile back that I had entered a contest to try to win some money for my dog's rescue. They won't announce the winners until February and it's very unlikely that I will win, but for some reason I've gotten myself all worked up that if I did win, people would read my story and...have opinions on it I guess? I'm not exactly sure why it's making me nervous but it is. I can't imagine that I'll win anyway since my story focused on how we had a really rocky start and pushed through it, so it's not really the uplifting "I rescued a dog and my life was forever changed for the better" type of story. I guess maybe I'm worried if someone read it it would come across that I don't love him enough? I genuinely have no idea.
Anyway, my logic brain is telling me this absolutely the most absurd thing to get worked up over but my anxiety brain won't listen.
You said it poppy, it's absurd thinking but I know exactly what you mean.
I entered a competition to create a design on a tee-shirt a couple of years ago and I would have got publicity because one of the judges is well known.
We it came to the time of revealing the winner it was apparently done in secret and I didn't win anyway. :wacko:
So I've just been out to the shops and after browsing a shelf of chocolate logs and went into panic mode.
You know that feeling that something bad is about to happen and you need to get home to safety?
My stomach flipped, my heart flipped, my sight was blurry and I had a sudden urge to let out a big fart!
And even though my brain was telling me I was going to die any minute I made my way to the self service cash out, managed to scan all the items and put them in a bag but when paying the machine decided to have a glitch. So there I am waiting for a assistant to come and fix it while I'm feeling panicky. What timing. By the time I left the shop I thought I would be ok by now, but oh no, walking back to the car was like walking with a rod up my back. I must have been looking at the ground because I heard someone say hello and I looked up to see who it was.
We chatted for a while, which took my mind off the panic and then carried on to the car feeling panicky again.
So during distraction I was ok, but not when I wasn't. It was like putting the PA on hold for five minutes then going back to it. Twice!
I drove home fine and now I just feel disappointed I let this happen. But the feelings are so strong. I don't go out thinking I'm going to panic today or I'm going to panic in this shop. It just happens.
I Know I'll go out another day and it might not even happen that day. Its the sudden surprise of it sneaking up on you doing something quite normal and in a routine.
Does anyone else go to food when this happens? My first thoughts are food and drink.
Mr C says if I drink anymore I'll be bobbing along, lol.
I know you're disappointed, Carnation, but you really shouldn't be. You did really well, I think! You kept a level head, checked out, and got yourself home safely. That's incredibly impressive.
I also get hungry after a panic - I think it's due to blood sugar or the adrenaline rush.
Thanks poppy x
Yes, I do carry on and not let it get the better of me.
I used to just shrivel up on the sofa afraid to move or even head for bed, so I should remember that.
Oh yes, the sugar thing, that's the other thing I think of.
Anything to protect and save ourself, lol.
You’re very impressive. :)
Thanks LittleLionMan.
