I don't believe MH professionals are busier than GPs but they're awful at phone calls.

Psychiatrists literally just sit there and judge people and prescribe meds.
What could they possibly be doing that doesn't allow them time to make a 5 minute phone call that will consist of
'How are you?'
'I'm ok'
'Great, you can be discharged now'

Sounds like a psych.

Yep!
I've just had a call from the crisis team. They are going to call and find out what's going on then phone me back.

I hope they don't leave you hanging too much longer.

They probably will tbh.
It's 4pm so the consultant will either be going home or getting ready to go home
I just want to be discharged dammit!

Garden Rescue right now is from your town Beckie. A woman called Maureen is on it who used to live in Spain. Probably don't know her Beckie.

i hope they get back to you soon *hugs*

Ooo that's interesting Dawn!
No I don't know her. Always nice to get some publicity for our little town

Thanks whispershadow

It's the weeeeeekend. =D

Hi np :)

It is indeed np!

Evening Beckie and Tamo. =)

I have come into possession of a swede which I don't really know what to do with.

Ooo I love swede
It's a nightmare to chop though!

That is not what I wanted to hear, Beckie! XD

I haven't had swede possibly since I was a child... so I don't know if I like it or not. But I'm thinking swede chips in the oven might be the way to go. Or mash.

Singing swede then it's easy to chop.

Swede mash is lush

Same method for making pumpkin easy to chop.

i don't think I've ever cooked with pumpkin

Pumpkin soup is the best. Sweet and spicy. =)

I can't deal with any kind of spicy!
Accidentally bit into a peppercorn the other day and it was horrific!

I don't like swede but pumpkin is nice. Pumpkin pie :)

Biting into a peppercorn is truly awful!

I haven't had pumpkin pie before. =o

Pumpkin pie is amazing

It really is np! Most unpleasant

Equally as bad as biting into a whole cardamom in takeaway pilau rice. Yuck!

Omg yes!!!
That is awful

Next month is Halloween.

Yes it is.

Next month is also my birthday. And my holiday

Screw halloween, birthday and holiday is exciting. =)

Very exciting!
Although being another year older sucks. I'll be 29! A year away from 30!

Age 30 is when I last SIed so it wasn't bad being 30 for me so there's hope Beckie. Next year I will be the big 4-0!

I'm 30 in October, really looking forward to it. I'm starting to feel like a grown up.

Looks like I'm the only one who's dreading being 30!

I'm sure it won't be that bad :)

That's what depot nurse guy said.
He said being 30 is just the same as being 29 and nothing changes.
I just don't feel like I've accomplished anything and I should have done by now

I wasn't too keen on turning 30 either, Beckie. But that has been and gone now and you know what your depot nurse guy is right, it is just a number and you don't really feel any different.

30 is still young and there's plenty of time to achieve things!

Thanks np :)

I'm hoping to go back to my health sciences degree with the OU. I just need to make a phone call about it but phone calls = scary!

Anyway.
What are you guys up to today?
I'm off to see Jasmine. And my brother is going too so I'll get a lift!

But scary = worth it. ;-)

No plans today. Bit of laundry, food shop later, might try to do some stuff in the garden.

Ah that'll be a nice day then and also good you'll get a lift. =)

My big sister is coming round.

Very true np!

Sounds like a nice chilled day

Hope you have a nice time tamo

Also I really need to clean the kitchen and do some hoovering... Forgot about that somehow. >.>

Will you be doing anything particular with Jasmine?

Tamo, that sounds lovely. =)

Fun times!

Nothing planned. I think the battle will be getting her off Roblox! She's addicted to that bloody game.

I have received a free sample of shower gel in the post today. Wasn't expecting it. Guess that means I have to have a shower now but you know effort.

My boiler appears to have packed in so I only get hot water for about a minute before it turns freezing cold
Showering has been most unpleasant lately!

Showering is soooo much effort.

I had a shower with my new shower gel. It didn't smell of anything and it was the same colour as my toothpaste. Let's hope I don't get the two mixed up.

That's a shame

L and my sister went to buy coffee capsules and they brought me back a Costa. Good times.

I've just got back
We had a barbecue!
