    Having your eyebrows threaded. Whoever invented that way of stealing a living by taking money from gullible young women (and your mate)?!

    Why is it stealing a living?

    I have mine done; it's cheaper than waxing, and more effective and less painful than plucking. It's also a pretty skilful technique.

    £4 to not look like Cara Delevigne = money well spent.

    I'm terrified that they are right.

    They aren't. The way you have been treated is appalling. As you say yourself, you know that your anxiety leads you to be hyper self critical. I do the same thing myself, so I recognise what you are saying. 

    Anyone looking at that situation objectively could see that the employer has broken all the rules, and has no management skills and no basic decency. With proper representation you could probably take them to the cleaners. 

    The important thing is not to lose faith in yourself. If you find it difficult to find that from within, then take support from those who know, understand and care about you. I agree with you that sometimes it isn't safe to be open about your difficulties, but the worst thing is being alone with them.

    You tried to be honest and open with your employer and had that trust thrown back in your face. I hope you have others in your life who can treat you with the understanding and respect you deserve. Definitely get support, if not from friends and family, then from one of the mental health services that are there for that purpose. 

    I would also say try not to put too much pressure on yourself with regard to work. I know you need to live, but the measure of your worth as a person is not in how much you earn.

    Re Therapy. I came across this sentence today, which I recognise from my own experience, in a Michael Harding book I'm reading. 

    'It's a strange thing to be sitting in a therapists chair, desperately struggling not to tell him what you're paying him to hear' 

    Resistance is part of the process. That discomfort makes us aware of what we need to be saying.

    You’ll grow up to be strong and healthy.

    Can we change this to the egg thread .. I love them. Boiled, fried, poached, coddled, scrambled, omeleted ( is that a word ), steak tartared, soufleed. ??

    I'm at the stage of life where I'm trying not to grow quite so much. 

    Don't forget scotch...

    Picture where you, and your knee are now.

    In your opinion what are your top 5 watering holes in Derbyshire?

    Ooh, it's a tough one, because there are different criteria; quality of beer, character of building, atmosphere, things going on etc. 

    Prioritising the first two probably makes it an uncontroversial selection: Barley Mow at Kirk Ireton; Holly Bush at Makeney; Gate at Brassington; Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires; Flying Childers at Stanton. 

    Top five in terms of actual usage though: Royal Oak at Wirksworth, Barley Mow at Bonsall; Boat at Cromford; Bowling Green at Winster; Druid's at Birchover. 

    What are yours?
