My brother came to see me :)

That's good tamobhuuta.

Afternoon all. I have had an amazon delivery.

Cool, was it an interesting delivery?

Some earbuds as my new phone doesn't have an headphone jack so you have to use wireless headphones. Although i have wireless headphones they're bulky so I wanted something compact that I can leave in my handbag.

Ah that's handy. I love my bulky headphones, they tell people I'm not listening!

Hi everyone. How are your days going?

I'm glad your brother visited, Tamo. Do you see him much?

Headphones are good for keeping your ears warm if you get the padded type ones but they get sweaty in the summer. I use in ear ones in the summer. I don't actually listen to music much, I really should change that.

I listen to music most days. Especially on the bus when there's noisy children/crowded as it keeps me calm. Plus if I am feeling antisocial I can pretend that I didn't hear people due to the music. Also if I have the voices talking to me it helps block them out.

Me too insig :)

I see him a little bit osc but he is quite busy with his youtube channel which is his job (it earns him actual money!) and like me he's not really a morning person!

Hey everyone
Back from work
Nearly said 'morning!' Again because idk what's going on but my brain is not functioning at full capacity!

Hi Cacoethes, how was work?

Not too bad thanks!
It's so dead right now and we have a new manager, so we're pretty much just deep cleaning everything!
I was prancing around with a feather duster for a bit XD

Did you do it to a song like Mary Poppins?

Haha! No, i should have done!

Morning everyone!

Morning all. I got told off by some woman for not picking up beer cans. I said that they're not mine and I am not picking them up due to covid reasons (am considered vulnerable to covid). I had no gloves on at the time so am not risking my safety. It was very windy last night so they had been blown about.

Fair enough insig!

They've stopped one of my physical meds without telling me why :(

That's odd!

I dropped my earphone case in the toilet....it is working still and I've santisied it to death so hopefully it will be ok! I can't afford to buy new ones!

I hope it continues to work!

Afternoon.

I'm glad you stood your ground, Dawn.

Have you asked about the med being stopped, Tamo?

I hope it still works, Beckie. My in ear head phones went through the washing machine twice and still worked.

Thanks!
Luckily i had my earbuds in at the time, so only the closed case went in the toilet!

I had an ipod go through the wash before and it was still ok!

Just cleaned the boys out and made the house presentable for when cpn comes at 2.
I usually do a sweep up after a clean out anyway because the hay gets everywhere.

The nurse said I need to talk to the doctor about it.

Is there a junior doc you could talk to? On my wards there's always at least 2 of them hanging about! Easier to get hold of than the consultants.
They can't not tell you why they stopped them! Not ok!

I hope your CPN appointment is going well, Beckie.

Surely someone knows and can tell you, Tamo!

I may see if I can find a doctor. But staying still is helping my anxiety right now! How are you osc?

Do whatever safe things you need to do for you, Tamo.

I'm ok apart from having a box of coconut flavour Lindor ball things which I am going through way too quickly. I'm supposed to be eating healthily! Having a stuffed pepper for dinner though.

Lindor are so moreish! My dad brought me a couple this morning but I didn't like the flavour. Milk on the outside, dark on the inside, but it tasted nutty.

It's extremely windy here. I went to the bins and surprised that I didn't do a Mary Poppins act.

Cpn appointment was fine thanks!

Be careful of eating too many of those! Can give you a dodgy tummy. Found that out the hard way XD
they are delicious though!

Do you have a favourite flavour, Tamo?

It's very windy here too, Dawn and very rainy. I'm glad you've been able to keep your feet firmly on the ground!

I'm glad your appointment went ok, Beckie. Yeah, too many treats are bad!

Very windy here too. And that horrible misty type rain!

Thanks!

They are just very rich chocolates!

Do you have a favourite flavour?

My support worker got loads of them for her Christmas and manages to just eat one a day!

Do you have to go out again?

When i was in hospital once, every single person got an entire full size box of the mint ones! Apparently they were donated. They were nice!
But my favourites are still the plain ones. In the red packet.

One a day? That is some serious self control!

Yep. Taekwondo soon.

Holding out for some vegan Lindor, what a world that would be!

I hope you don't drown or get blown away when you go out Beckie

If you want to go bankrupt, the Pico vegan m*lk chocolate truffles taste just like Lindor balls!

Also guys can we be careful about how we talk about food here in what should be a non-triggering board - it's not the right place for any self-flagellation about 'unhealthy' eating. *modly thumbs up*

(I just tried out a variety of poses to decide what might constitute a modly thumbs up)

Did not get blown away! And got a lift home so win!

I wasn't talking about unhealthy eating. I have literally nearly sh*t myself from eating too many lindor at once on more than one occasion XD
So was just warning about that!

My favourite are the regular red ones.

I used to like the ones in the blue wrapper. And the gold wrapper. Can't remember what they were, just that they were gooooood

Lol don’t worry, I wasn’t talking about that remark!

Also Lio, Y U IGNORE MY SRS BSNS ADVICE

Ok awesome!
I think it's just force of habit that I think it's me. I don't have a great track record with these things XD

Apologies, I'm just not fancying bankruptcy at the moment

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie :)
How are you today??

I am rather stressed!
But i will live.

You?

What is stressing you??

I feel rather yuck. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at a hospital for a gastroscopy and an endoscopy (yay!!!) and i was told to take some laxatives before but the specific kind they mentioned tends to make me feel rather ill so i've spent the past few days feeling rubbish. But tomorrow it'll be over and hopefully i can get back to a somewhat better state of mind and body.

Money.
Everyone's hours have been cut at work and I can't prioritise things (that is my fault tho) so I'm going to struggle to afford food this week.
I want to cry.

Eugh that sounds awful!
I had an endoscopy once. I was sedated (not completely asleep) and it wasn't too bad.
Gastroscopy doesn't sound pleasant though!

Morning guys, sorry you're not doing great.

Morning tamo

Oh Beckie, that does Sound stressful!!! I've been there many times. Do you Think you can maybe find some cheap kinds of food that might not Seem very exciting but can keep you full and give you enough energy and nutrition??? When i'm short of money i often go for pasta and pesto for dinner. Do you bake?? Sometimes it's Way less costly to make your own buns.
I'm somewhat of a knobhead with money too, sometimes. I really sympathise because i know how stressful it is :(

Hi Tamo. How are you today?
