Well done Jen. Have you ever left an impolite message? Hope they are in touch soon.

Sorry mass was stressful Tamo. Well done for managing to stay.

Sorry mass was stressful Tamo but well done for sticking it out until the end.

I have probably left a neutral message before where I sound more blunt don't say thank you at end of it sort of thing. But never gone as far as impolite (I.e. swearing, shouting etc.)

Not heard from them yet. But know my respiratory physio works Fridays so hoping she will call after lunch time.

Still waiting for a phonecall from asthma team. Only a couple of hours left for them to call me in. Really hope they do call as would be good to get some expert advice.

Trying to relax and watch some TV but not knowing if or when they will call is making that hard.

How is everyone else?

Hey everyone
Sorry for not catching up, shattered
How is everyone?

When or if is horrible.

I'm ok. L is back from seeing her sister but unfortunately couldn't enjoy it very much because they all had chest infections the whole time!

No coffee for me, I'm not allowed it.

How is everyone?

(also, I got diagnosed with ADHD yesterday at my assessment!)

How do you feel about the diagnosis Ahimsa?

Well, I was expecting it after 4 people at work and my hairdresser already thought I had it!

Work are being less than helpful and supportive though.

How're you Tamo?

Ah ok. Sorry about work.

I'm ok. Catching up on Casualty!

I'm glad you got officially diagnosed beth, hopefully you'll be able to get some help with it now!
Sorry work are being **** though

What's occurring on casualty these days tamo?

Glad you have the validations n of the diagnosis Beth.

Your work always seems to be a bit **** about accomodating your needs tbh!

Stil waiting to see if I get a call.

Waiting for calls is frustrating

I am worried that the call won't happen, as don't have appointment just word of respiratory nurse that she would try and get the asthma team to call me. But nothing I can do to change whether they call or not.

Fingers crossed you get a call lr.

On Casualty they've got body cams and a policeman.

Specialists are notoriously difficult to pin down and get to do stuff

The amount of stuff that happens in casualty, I'm surprised they didn't bring in bodycams years ago!

Sorry i disappeared. I realised i was quite busy if i had to get stuff done before going to my mum's. I Got back just now and my flat smells like buns. I did bake buns before leaving but i didn't imagine the smell to be this persistent.
Findus is having some sleepy days. He snuggles up on the carpet when he's not pooping, eating or being naughty. I always worry when he does things that are out of the ordinary but i have had him for long enough to know that he sometimes just changes behaviour temporarily.
Pretty sucky to wait all day for a call that didn't happen, Jen. I am always left feeling really cross and frustrated when that happens to me. In case of anger that won't calm, i recommend smashing ice cubes outside while swearing profousely!!!

Some of the staff are all, "it creates a barrier with the patients " others don't want to get beaten up.

It's ok zurg!
Did you have a nice time at your mum's?
Aww findus. I guess animals have bad days too, like we do! The piggos certainly do. Like today, Merry is being a massive pain in the bum!

Makes sense tamo. I think I'd rather a nurse wear a bodycam if it means they don't get beaten up!

The cameras only get turned on if someone starts being aggressive.

Yeah would've thought so because of confidentiality stuff.
I think it's a good idea
L had to talk to the police in a&e yesterday (work incident) and the officer put on her bodycam.

Exciting stuff.

Indeed!

I did not in fact get a call from asthma team.

But I did have to call an ambulance around 5pm as couldn't get asthma under control on my own. Stabilised with treatment so have been left at home. Hopefully I get to stay here.

Aww sleepy Findus!

Am too tired from asthma flaring to be angry. Bit dissappointed though.

Always disappointing not getting a phone call.
Dealt with that myself this week and it is incredibly frustrating! Especially on a Friday.
Hopefully you'll get to stay home

Hello all. Sorry I haven't been around much have been feeling ill and busy. Been feeling better late at night when there's no one around.

Morning everyone

Morning Beckie, you were up way too early.

I was! And I'm paying for it now!
But managed to clean out the boys before i have to nap

How are you?

Morning guys.

Morning tamo
How are you?

I'm good thanks. My new journal, which was supposed to be delivered in 4-5 days, came in 2!

That's really good!

Morning peeps.
I have only one fish left now, out of the three i bought :(
I feel like a very lousy fish mum!!!!
I hate it when pets get ill or die. Even if they are teeny, tiny fish….

Ikr. I love getting post.

Don't be so hard on yourself, i know it's difficult though.
Fish can be so tough to look after, especially after they've just been purchased Because of the changes.

Aw sorry about your fish Zurg.

What's everyone up to today?

I'm going to a garden/pet/plant shop today with my friend. Her bf has advised me to get some different fish as the ones i got are apparently notoriously difficult to keep alive. Even for experienced fish geeks.
I am trying to get myself mentally ready for this major trip but it's HARD because Findus is looking so cute right now….

Aww findus <3
Hope you have a nice time!

Have fun choosing fish Zurg!

My big sister has come round.

Afternoon all. I feel quite well today which hopefully will continue tomorrow as I am going for my birthday meal! My birthday isn't until Thursday but it was only day when everyone in my family was free.

I didn’t realise your birthday was coming up, Dawn.

Yes it is Lindsay. I am going to chiquitos for my birthday meal.

I hope you feel well tomorrow insig.

How are you getting on osc?

I have 10 new fish. And a new snail!!! I am well chuffed :)
Also got bonus doggie love from my friend's chihuahua.
Tired now….

Is chiquitos mexican food, Dawn??

Yes chiquitos is Mexican food zurg. I have kinda decided what to have already.
