Nearly Time

[queenofmean]

I’m so anxious, my fight and flight mode is well and truly kicked in - flight more than fight.

Wish me luck - I’m going to need it!

[emmie]

good luck, why do you need it though...

[queenofmean]

I’m giving evidence Emmie. I don’t really want to but I’m doing it because I need to.

[emmie]

ok, well good luck, hope it goes ok..

deep breaths, take your time, speak slowly and clearly.
If you don't understand a question, say so.
The legal people are scary but nice.
You'll do fine xxxx

[queenofmean]

Thank you :)

If you see my post Can’t wait for Thursday- might tell you a bit more x

[queenofmean]

Thank you Alba x

[albaqwerty]

had a thought, is it in front of a Sheriff?

If so, direct answers to M'lord or M'lady as appropriate.

[queenofmean]

It’s a panel with a barriste.

[queenofmean]

Barrister*

[emmie]

be calm and speak clearly, having been in court i can say that its somewhat nerve racking but once it was over i was jubilant.

[albaqwerty]

if nerves start to get a hold, then imagine them naked.
Ask for a drink of water.

I know it's serious, just want to try to help you relax a bit xx ((hugs))

[queenofmean]

I’m at home doing it over the telephone Alba.

I’m trying to say calm. That’s what I’m focusing on after Emmie being jubilant, ecstatic it’s all over and I can move on and forget the whole thing ever happened.

[emmie]

i was jubilant because it was a tribunal with me as the final victor.
in fact that's happened more than once.

[murraymints]

deep breaths you'll do grand xx

[queenofmean]

I’m just off the phone! Well French connection United Kingdom me sideways!

I’m glad it’s over - I had to speak to HIM he was so patronising. But I gave him everything I should have 5 years ago!

[murraymints]

Gosh..surprised you were asked to speak to the accused

[queenofmean]

Me to Minty - I think I groaned a little too loudly

[murraymints]

hope you gave him what for ! I should have reported a consultant at the western migraine clinic when I was 16.."have to do a breast exam" for migraine ? but only 16 and did not like to question...no chaperone either, looking back it was an opportunist assault

[Islay]

Was it a phone interview?

[queenofmean]

I think I did at one point - he kept asking me the same question just worded it differently. Lost my cool a little there.

Aww Minty that’s shocking :(
