I hope both your appointments go well. Do something nice for yourself afterwards if you can.

That's frustrating. Have fun getting needled!

I'm feeling anxious already but I've got my coping and distracting skills.

I can’t seem to get into research methods j

What are you researching?

I hate research methods too. Then I went and did my Msc in research methods in psychology. *shrugs* My OT told me to do that course rather than the MH one.

Thanks lindsay.
How are you doing?

Thanks tamo!

Well done for using your coping and distracting skills

I think my support worker is phoning today to plan getting back to the gym. I really don't want to. Not looking forward to the points of today where I can't focus on anything and get really anxious etc.

When do you have to leave for your appointment? Your carers don't seem to be able to keep good time!

Is there anything else you'd rather do than gym that you could suggest?

I had to leave in the end!

It just annoys so much it’s common sense

It's because I used to go to the gym group. She wants me to get back myself with her supporting me for a bit. We've just been going walks but I'm supposed to be moving forward. My support worker is all about moving forward and then finding something else to move towards. It's stressful.

Do you think it's trivial to contact the GP surgery about a rash? My surgery has an online form to fill and then they triage your problem and decide if you need to be seen or not.

I hope your appointment goes well. Did you let the carers know you had to go?

Have you told her how much it's stressing you out?
I don't think it's fair on you to.pressue you to go.

Not trivial at all. A rash could be all sorts

Thanks
No I didn't but they called me about 5 minutes after I had left.

She phoned me to arrange to go to the gym and said I really need to think about what I want to do because if she books a slot at the gym and then I cancel that wouldn't be good. I've got one day to think about it because she's phoning tomorrow to do my review and has asked me to let her know tomorrow.

Do the carers not have a timetable?

Are you back home now?

At least you've got a bit of time to think

They don't seem to!
They seem to just turn up whenever!

Yes I am.
Made a phone call to apply for PIP.
I got the letter this morning saying I needed to apply before my DLA runs out.
I've been dreading this ever since they first brought PIP out!

I have my cpn coming this afternoon. Fun times!

Does your CPN come out to visit you Dawn?

I remember the worry of having to apply for PIP, I hope it works out for you Beckie.

Thanks lindsay
I was anxious about it but another lovely ryler has put me at ease with it so I don't feel so bad now

My cpn is leaving soon.
I wonder what my new one will be like. Can't seem to hold on to one for more than 6 months!

Yes Lindsay my cpn comes to see me.

You're lucky Dawn!

Evening all. How's everyone? What's on the RYL dinner menu tonight?

Hey np :)
How was work?

I'm having chicken and homemade slimming world chips! With veg of course

Work was sooooo cold. I'm enjoying being warm now.

Chicken and chips is good! I'm having stir fry part 2 and might do a baked apple for dessert. Warm comforting food. =)

Oh no! Glad you've warmed up

Mmm sounds good!

Might also watch Taskmaster tonight if I'm not too sleepy.

Yes do it!!!

Half way through the upside down task right now =P

A bat making out with a horse is how covid started >.>

Haha! I loved that one!
Johnny's was epic!

I thought Daisy May Cooper's one should have scored higher!

Hers wasn't even upside down!

I'm not sure I can repeat here what Johnny just said during the spaghetti task. XD

Probably best not to XD

It was totally not PG at all!

Not intended that way though.

Nope!!
That spaghetti task was brutal though!

Always got to be suspicious when the task appears too simple.

Oh yes absolutely!
I at first expected it to be really hard to get spaghetti into a grapefruit (I hate grapefruit and don't think I've ever actually held one so I thought they were harder than they clearly are!) So I was very confused when they were getting it straight in!

I imagined that a grapefruit would have tougher skin than an orange so would therefore be really difficult to pierce... but then again I've never tried to stick spaghetti in an orange so my theory is based on nonsense.

Really enjoyed the catapult task! And very impressed at how high some of them could get their legs. O.o

I thought it would have been tougher than an orange too. But have also not tried to stick spaghetti in an orange.... *puts oranges and spaghetti on shopping list*

I know!! I certainly couldn't get my leg that high!

Especially the 84 times Mawaan did it... and Johnny after falling through the ladder. =o

Everyone's got to go make grapefruit hedgehogs now, hehe.

I'd probably have pulled several muscles falling through that ladder!

Yessss!!! :p

Hi everyone. How goes your .day?

Hi tamo
I've had a really good loss at slimming world this morning so I am very happy!

How about you?

Well done Beckie :-)

Hi Tamo.

Hi everyone else.

What are you all up to today?

I've got a friend coming for coffee, and I need to put my washing away.

Thanks lindsay :)
How are you?

I'm not up to much for the rest of today

I've just had a toffee filled yum yum from Lidl.

Ooo delicious!
Did you enjoy it?

Yum yums are gooood

Hello all. It's quite chilly outside. It's ryl bin night so have been to put my wheelie bin out.

I did enjoy the yum yum.

I will be putting my bin out later.

How are your days going?

Glad you enjoyed it!

My neighbour will probably put my bin out later. If not I'll do it when I put the last bin bag in it!

Not bad thanks lindsay.
Not really up to much
How about you?
Did your support worker ring?
