This Easter is more snowy than Christmas... In the last 4 hours appeared about 50 or 60 cm of snow and it's still snowing...

Been lovely here.

Beautifully sunny and warm here today. Just been for a walk in the park after overindulging at Easter brunch.

Davina, not to make light of your son's injuries, but if he is worried about his looks, i'd tell him a scar in his eyebrow will probably only mke him more intriguing to admirers.

I agree =D

Davina · March 31, 2013 9:27 pm

Ha ha! That is exactly what one of my friends said!

AndyO. · March 31, 2013 9:35 pm

Eyebrow scars are sexy <3

I'm a little late in chiming in, but just wanted to sympathize/exclaim along with everyone else... aww, Davina! Sorry to hear about that... but can't help but chuckle too, at some of the very true comments! It most certainly speaks much more for your son, about what happened, and the quips being made about it up above! Ha... imagine... most definitely not a bad thing to get a not-too-horrible scar by the eyebrow, get asked about it, and be able to say it was from standing up for a young lady.

Another rant! Why do people contact me about horsey stuff I am selling, asking lots of details, for photos, or me to call them etc. then they never bother getting back to me even just to say thanks but no thanks? I've waited for a lady to phone me back in half-an-hour (this morning) having called her back...still waiting 6 hours later! Not even a quick text! Grrrrrrr! Not the first time this sort of thing has happened. People are sooooo rude!

There, I feel a bit better now!

Ok, crap day today...

Firstly, I took my theory test this morning (been registered at the driving school for nearly 14 years so it was high time! ), really need the driving licence (well, the theory test first) because it's really not been easy since my husband's death, I mean, living with no car, no family around to help, and with a 3 year old boy. Anyway, you're usually told at the end of the test whether you've passed it or not. It's always been like this until... today! Yeah, not last month or even last week; TODAY! A law has been voted and now they don't have the right to tell us just after the test, they send you a letter in the following 48 hours. Argh! I didn't know that, they told us after the test! Gutted. I so wanted to know! It's driving me mad!!

Then I learnt this afternoon that the Parisian Supernatural convention I was attending in August was cancelled. The association's gone bankrupt. I was soooooo looking forward to this and meeting Misha Collins. It's been planned for more than a year. I feel so sad.... It's already a bad news, but then, we're apparently not getting our money back. I had spent 900 euros for that convention!!! Thinking it would be the only one, that it was now or never. I had managed to find someone to look after my son and all... I'm so devastated...

Then I picked up my son at school. A boy has pushed him at school, he fell face against the tarmac and got a huge wound on the forehead...

Finally, I went back home and found a letter claiming more than 100 euros for an ambulance called last July after my husband's 8th suicide attempt of the year, just a couple of days before the 10th and last one. I don't understand why I have to pay. I've called so many ambulances for my husband and never had to pay anything. And why have they waited for nearly a year to claim this money??

Aww... well... Should have stayed in bed this morning...

Sure, there are much worse things in life, and I truly know what I'm talking about, but I can't help feeling all gutted and sad...

Harriet · May 27, 2013 8:48 pm

Oh no - what an awful and troublesome day

Maybe some tea for you?

Mary Me · May 27, 2013 8:49 pm

I'm so sorry to hear this, Punch Me. I hope you'll find some distraction or peace today.

tobeornot221b · May 27, 2013 8:51 pm

You have every right to feel devastated after a day like this, poor you!
And all the best to your little boy.
*hugs*

Mattlocked · May 27, 2013 8:51 pm

Don't know what to say, except: Big hug for you.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Punch me in the face · May 27, 2013 8:59 pm

Aww... thank you all, it means a lot Sherlockians rock!

Yeah, "It's not always going to be this grey. All things must pass, all things must pass away" said George Harrison.

Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed for the theory test. I so hope I've passed it... And it will compensate for today's bad luck.

Thanks again

Harriet · May 27, 2013 9:02 pm

Yeah, best wishes for that test! Do you have a good instructor?

Mattlocked · May 27, 2013 9:03 pm

You're welcome.
Good that you found the forum, it helps a lot.
Had some very bad days recently and sat in front of the screen crying and laughing the same time while reading the members' posts and looking at the beautiful pictures.

And there is always someone who offers some tea.

SusiGo · May 27, 2013 9:07 pm

Big hug for you, Punch Me. What a beastly day. I'm thinking of you and hope tomorrow will be better.

Punch me in the face · May 27, 2013 9:08 pm

@harriet: it wasn't the driving test, just the theory test. I don't know if other countries have this to, but here in France, before you can start learning to drive, you have to pass a theory test: 40 questions about signs, priorities, statistics and all. And it's honestly rather difficult.

@mattlocked: sorry to hear you've had a couple of bad days too lately... And I definitely should pay a visit to Benedict's best pictures topic.

Thanks again!

Harriet · May 27, 2013 9:18 pm

I see - in Germany you have to attend classes, usually by the same instructor that does the driving as well.

How are you now?

Punch me in the face · May 27, 2013 9:59 pm

Alright! I guess it's like that in some French driving schools too, but not mine. You just have to read a book, and train with series of questions on DVDs at the driving school until you feel ready to take the test

And I'm still rather sad. Been feeling in the dumps lately. Keep watching videos and pictures of my husband, I think I've entered another "stage" of the mourn, and I was really looking forward to that Supernatural convention as it would have taken my mind a bit off things and all, and now it's all vanished... (and I won't even start on the 900 euros......)

But well, when something really bad has happened in your life, it helps you to put things in perspective and tell yourself it could be much worse. Most of the people I know from the Supernatural French forum are literally crying. I'm not. But doesn't prevent me from feeling very gutted and sad.
