Cacoethes 24-07-2023 07:50 PM

Random but we have board games at work now. Just like 3 piles of them on a shelf by the door for people to play.
I thought that was pretty cool tbh

not_so_insig 24-07-2023 07:59 PM

Do they have monopoly?

not_so_insig 24-07-2023 08:10 PM

Gah! Just been bothered by a chugger. At 8 o'clock at night!

Cacoethes 24-07-2023 08:16 PM

I didn't have a proper look through!
But probably. Can't have 3 piles of games without monopoly!
I only remember scrabble and rummikub.
Used to play rummikub all the time in one hospital, Can't remember for the life of me how to play!

That's far too late!

not_so_insig 24-07-2023 08:24 PM

Yes I was surprised by the chugger coming so late. I just said no thank you and shut the door. Idk who let them in my block of flats because I didn't and they usually try me first because I am the first doorbell. I don't give to chuggers anymore especially those that come to my door. Not that I have any money to give to them anyways.

Cacoethes 24-07-2023 08:30 PM

Yeah. I usually just tell them i have a couple of ? to last the week.
Which is true 99% of the time XD
And when it's not, I need that money for bills

not_so_insig 24-07-2023 08:43 PM

Ah bills. The bane of people's lives.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 05:48 AM

Literally.

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 10:04 AM

Morning Beckie, how are you? I hope you have a better day today.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 10:12 AM

Thank you
I'm ok. Bit frustrated with certain things that no one wants to hear about XD
but posted my asos return and been to asda and aldi this morning.

How are you?
Anything planned for today?

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 10:13 AM

Morning Cacoethes and osc. How are you?

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 10:15 AM

I read your R/V, I hope things improve soon. Did you get everything you needed from Asda and Aldi?

I'm ok. Going to the gym group at 1pm.

How are you, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 10:21 AM

I'm ok. I'm hoping my CPN is going to call me because the nurse doing my bloods was concerned by what I said, and said she would tell him. Or I might phone him this afternoon. Also, last week i saw something I think a friend would really like so I've decided to go back and get it.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 10:38 AM

Hey tamo!

Thanks lindsay
Yes i did!

Hope the gym group is ok

Fingers crossed he calls tamo

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 10:40 AM

How are you today Cacoethes?

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 10:48 AM

I'm ok thanks
Tired as usual!

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 10:49 AM

I hope you hear from your CPN or can get in touch with him, Tamo. What are you getting for your friend?

Have you got much more to do today, Beckie?

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 10:56 AM

Nope.
Going to the gym to use the boditrax machine (measures muscle mass, bone mass etc.) Because i think it might be useful for medical monitoring appointment tomorrow.
Nurse at 3:30 for contraceptive depot. Glow beatz tonight.

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 11:32 AM

Hello all.

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 12:09 PM

They still had it! It's a Halloween snow globe that also plays music.

Sorry you're tired Cacoethes. Is there a day coming up when you can take it easy?

Hi insig and osc, how are you?

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 12:27 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 12:31 PM

I guess this is a take it easy day really.
I'm always tired. Doesn't matter how easy i take it!
And i absolutely cannot spend a whole day not doing anything that involves going out at least once!

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 02:18 PM

I rang my CPN, I'm going to see him tomorrow.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 02:28 PM

That's good

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 02:29 PM

That's good tamobhuuta.

I have been looking for some spare coat hangers fortunately I found them in my outside shed. Been sitting outside as it's rather warm here. Now inside because I have my cpn coming in half an hour.

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 02:39 PM

I'm glad you found some hangers. Have fun with your CPN...

Pi.R^2 25-07-2023 02:45 PM

Afternoon!

Beckie, you are so energetic! I have to leave the house today and I'm putting it off and off and off because I don't want -.-

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 02:46 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta.

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 02:47 PM

Hello Jenna *shoos you out of the door*

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 02:47 PM

No energy jenna, just willpower XD
Doing anything exciting?

Pi.R^2 25-07-2023 03:53 PM

Just food shopping. Which is fine, I just really want a day of not leaving the house!

How are you guys?

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 04:06 PM

That's fair! And food shopping does suck!

Just back from my depot.
Now to chill and hopefully get rid of my headache before glow beatz!

Pi.R^2 25-07-2023 04:08 PM

And I have to go to pets at home - TWO SHOPS. The outrage.

Oh yes, the depot that your CMHT took such a weird interest in...

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 04:16 PM

I hope it goes well with your CPN tomorrow, Tamo. Well done for phoning. Glad you managed to get your friend's gift.

Hope your appointment with your CPN was fine, Dawn.

You can do it, Jenna!

Hope your headache eases soon, Beckie.

Pi.R^2 25-07-2023 04:19 PM

How are you Lindsay?

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 04:26 PM

Ok. Sadly there is no longer going to be a gym group any more. The organisation has changed and doesn't do groups now, we've been under the radar for a while. The worker wants us to keep going ourselves though but it's just two of us at the moment because one person has been physically unwell for a long time and it isn't going to resolve soon and the other person has just broken bones in her neck. It's sad. The gym group has been going for ages but always changing members. I've been a member for a long time.

How are you, Jenna?

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 04:31 PM

TWO shops???
Well, at least you can drive XD

Yes, who insisted it was overdue when it wasn't due for about another month...
They've been incredibly sus recently.

Thanks lindsay!

That's a shame about the gym group :(

tamobhuuta 25-07-2023 04:32 PM

Sorry about the gym group osc :(

one_step_closer 25-07-2023 05:27 PM

It'll be hard without the worker's support. We need her for encouragement and motivation.

What's everyone doing this evening? It's just started raining here.

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 05:35 PM

Sunny here!
Got glow beatz at 7:30 but time is going sooo slowly
Want to get that done so i can shower and go to bed and then deal with tomorrow

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 06:32 PM

It's sunny here too. My cpn appointment was quite good today. My cat is currently sitting on me purring away.

Pi.R^2 25-07-2023 06:56 PM

Oh what a bother about the gym group Lindsay! It sounds like it's a really useful service for you all. Ugh. Could you two motivate each other to keep going? And/or get some prodding from people on here?

Beckie, pretty incredible when a notoriously mad patient is more capable of running her contraceptive life than qualified professionals :eyeroll: Hope you enjoy glow beatz!

Cacoethes 25-07-2023 08:54 PM

Thanks! I think? :tongue2:

Professional generally suck at most things, in my experience!

Glow beatz was good thanks!

not_so_insig 25-07-2023 09:14 PM

That's a shame about your gym group Lindsay.

Cacoethes 26-07-2023 06:15 AM

Morning everyone

Pi.R^2 26-07-2023 08:27 AM

Morning!

Good luck today Beckie- what time do you have to leave?

Cacoethes 26-07-2023 08:36 AM

Morning jenna!

Thank you.
Leaving at 12 for the train. Appointment isn't until 2:30 but it's a train and 2 buses. It takes about 2 hours if everything is on time.
Freaking out, so glad E is coming with me!

How are you?
Any plans for today?

one_step_closer 26-07-2023 09:51 AM

Morning everyone.

Good luck, Beckie. I'm glad you will have E with you.

How are you today, Jenna?

Cacoethes 26-07-2023 09:53 AM

Morning lindsay

Thanks :)

How are you?

one_step_closer 26-07-2023 09:55 AM

Ok. Been to the chemist and shop. Washed my hair and hoovered. Need to wait in for some people coming to collect some donations.

What are you doing before you leave?
