I've had the heating on for months now!!! I can't be arsed with being cold and i'd rather pay up than freeze inside….
Our heating bills Will increase this season. Someone did a terrible job of something and an entire container full of wood pellets burned to ashes in our local power and heating plant his autumn. Millions of tons of wooden pellets!!! I really Think the one responsible owe us all a 'i-screwed-up' beer!!!
Took the firefighters more than a month to kill that fire!!! People in the town close by had to be evacuated if they suffered from asthma or things like that….. our city smelled terrible for weeks!!!
Oooh, a Christmas tree NP??? That sounds merry!!! My Christmas tree is made from the finest plastic you can make in the far east of our world!!!!
Findus would prefer a real tree, i Think.
Haha! Fair enough!
My neighbour has put up a load of lights and they look great! I would just worry about the electric being used!
I do like seeing all the lights when walking home
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
In our family most of us want the biggest tree we can fit in the living room but my mum campaigns for a more sensible size! Usually we decorate the weekend before Christmas Day.
There's been decorating going on on the ward but I don't want to imagine Christmas here.
I've spent many Christmases in hospital.
They do try their best.
Last one was 2020. We were in tier 4 so no leave and no visits. Not that I got visits anyway!
Spent most of the day crying
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
It gets really cold at night here plus I have the heating set to come on at 16.5 degrees because a gas person told me that was as low as it should go to avoid burst pipes when I was in hospital. That's why I wear lots to bed but I do take them off through the night sometimes. I was extra hot because of covid but last night I was cold.
Oh, and Dawn wherever you are (hope you see this, didn't know if I should PM) I got your card today. Thank you, it's very cute too!
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
HI everyone!
Unfortunately, we have electric heating so its very costly, so we close the doors if we're not in the room and use an electric blanket at night.
I was on a section many years ago at the beginning of december. We were asked to put up Christmas decorations around our specific part of the ward. I clearly remember me trodding around and hanging up nice and pretty stuff and about half an hour later, a nurse followed in my foot steps and removed all the stuff. Apparently there are strict rules about what you can hang things on to. And apparently no one bothered to inform us about that….
That was one of the more terrible admittances. The staff were horrible. But most of the time they also weren't present…. We only really had each other as patients to talk to.
I wish i could put an Christmas hat on Findus and take a pic :D
When i was at the priory when I was 15, the staff put up lovely Christmas decorations and me and my friend ran around ripping them all down XD
Spent that Christmas on 1:1 with the happiest support worker ever. She woke me up by singing a Christmas song
In my guinea pig groups there are SO many adorable pics of guinea pigs with santa hats on!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
