Hey lindsay!
How be you?

I've just got home

one_step_closer 20-09-2024 02:02 PM

Yay for home! Did you have a successful trip?

I'm trying to be ok.

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 02:16 PM

Mostly!
Pharmacy hasn't been sent my meds, so just about to call GP to see if they can sort a prescription ASAP!
Otherwise successful!

Have you been up to much today?

tamobhuuta 20-09-2024 02:27 PM

I hope you get your meds Cacoethes.

Hi osc. How are you getting on?

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 02:29 PM

Thanks!
Will be cutting it fine, the drs closes at 5:30 I think :crazy:

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 05:13 PM

I'm amazed you can call your GP!

If I call mine, it says I have to go through PATCH's and submit a request between 7-10am and they'll get back to me the next day. Then the line cuts off. Then if you miss their call back the following day (which can be 8am-6pm) you have to submit another request 7-10am again.

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 05:26 PM

Well that sounds like a hassle!
Yeah you can call for enquiries and stuff and they'll sort what they can. If it's for an appointment, you have to call at 8:30am for same day. Or whenever for advance appointments.
And if the line is really busy, they have the option for you to hang up and they'll call you when you reach the front of the queue, so you're not hanging about on hold and can get on with other things.
I'm lucky to have a good GP surgery!

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 05:31 PM

Advance appointments?!!! We can't do that even through PATCH's, it's on the day only. Unless the GP books it as a follow up in your previous appointment.

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 05:56 PM

My old GP surgery wouldn't do it, but this one does for some reason!
Think it's a relatively small practice. Like, my GP has called randomly a couple of times just to check in and see how I'm doing with the ED stuff and blood results and stuff.

one_step_closer 20-09-2024 06:29 PM

Most GP surgeries used to be quite good but so much has changed.

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 06:34 PM

It really has.
At my old surgery it was because the town kept growing and the infrastructure couldn't keep up with it

one_step_closer 20-09-2024 06:38 PM

My CPN said my GP surgery is just awful at managing the place.

What are you doing with your evening, Beckie?

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 06:48 PM

Fair enough!

Not a lot really! Just fed the piggos as they were making a fuss because I hadn't fed them yet and S was eating :eyeroll:

one_step_closer 20-09-2024 06:51 PM

Oh how dare you let that happen!

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 07:08 PM

I know! The audacity!
Good thing I don't let them have a phone, they'd be straight on the phone to the RSPCA!

one_step_closer 20-09-2024 07:23 PM

Haha! Crookshanks is currently telling me it's his supper time.

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 07:32 PM

One of mine is like that too, she acts like she's never been fed in her entire life.

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 07:46 PM

I'm thinking of refreshing my hair colours, they're quite faded and patchy :(

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 09:34 PM

Lol!

It's always 'I'm starving mum! We haven't been fed in MONTHS! '

That's the only bit I disliked about having bright hair, the maintenance!

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 09:35 PM

Oh its been about a month, and it's really nice faded - if it wasn't patchy!

Cacoethes 20-09-2024 10:40 PM

Ah yeah. Patchy is always a risk!

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 10:54 PM

Hpow are you?

I've decided to leave my hair until tomorrow, have some wine and have a living room dance (after an hour of crying)

Ahimsa 20-09-2024 11:10 PM

Update. it did not help.

Cacoethes 21-09-2024 08:18 AM

Morning guys

I hope you managed some sleep beth. Sounds like a tough night

tamobhuuta 21-09-2024 10:24 AM

Morning guys. How are mornings going?

Cacoethes 21-09-2024 10:32 AM

Morning tamo!
Pretty good thanks. Managed to clip the piggos nails (they were NOT pleased!), got washing up done and cleaned up. And the pool is down.
S has gone to his dad's and we're off to Lincolnshire fir the weekend :-D

How are you?

tamobhuuta 21-09-2024 11:55 AM

Have a nice time :)

I'm ok but not allowed on leave today.

Cacoethes 21-09-2024 12:42 PM

Thank you!

That's a shame tamo :(
Hopefully something to work towards

Ahimsa 21-09-2024 01:00 PM

What are you up to in Lincolnshire Beckie?

I've just got up, I was going to go for a drive and to York but I didn't charge the car (I have 15 miles left, York is a 60 mile round trip). I've plugged the car in for a bit, am going to do my hair and try do some tidying in the meantime.

not_so_insig 21-09-2024 01:39 PM

Afternoon all.

Cacoethes 21-09-2024 01:40 PM

Seeing a friend of L's, who she hasn't seen in over a year.
I suggested after amsterdam that we do a weekend away somewhere, maybe every few months for a change of scenery and a recharge, so this is the first one!

We've just driven through somewhere called East Lindsey! XD

Are you going to York for anything in particular? Or just fancy a drive?

Ahimsa 21-09-2024 01:43 PM

That's a lovely plan, I like it!!

I fancy a drive, and to go to the outlet maybe, and depending on time I pay pop to the ghost exhibit they do every year that's just started. I used to live in York, and it's only half an hour away! (and free parking if you know where to park. Leeds is around £5 an hour to park!)

Cacoethes 21-09-2024 02:19 PM

Thanks! Should be nice

Sounds like a good plan to me!
£5 an hour for parking is ridiculous!

long road 21-09-2024 03:03 PM

Was in bed drinking coffee. Split some of said coffee on bed. Had to strip bed and try and get coffee stain out of mattress. We had a mattress protector on but some still got through. Sheets are in washing machine and mattress is upside down on a towel to bringing any remaining coffee that filtered into mattress to surface.

Ruined my relaxing afternoon somewhat! Now on sofa trying to calm down. To add insult to injury by time cleanup efforts were efinished the 2/3 remaining of my cup of coffee had gone cold :(

Ahimsa 21-09-2024 03:05 PM

Oh how annoying LR!

long road 21-09-2024 03:36 PM

It was very annoying. and now I cant nap like I want to...

But such is life.

how goes your day?

tamobhuuta 21-09-2024 04:00 PM

Disaster lr!

one_step_closer 21-09-2024 04:25 PM

Hi everyone, I have read.

Was meeting my brother today which is why I'm only just online.

Ahimsa 21-09-2024 07:35 PM

Did you have a good time OSC?

I went to the outlet and spent a lot of money but they are things that made me smile and right now that's something.

tamobhuuta 22-09-2024 10:46 AM

Morning guys, how are you all?

one_step_closer 22-09-2024 12:10 PM

Afternoon, Tamo. I am still trying to be ok. How are you?

tamobhuuta 22-09-2024 12:20 PM

I am ok. Moving to my local hospital this evening but would rathe4r stay here.

How are you getting on with being ok?

tamobhuuta 22-09-2024 06:17 PM

Ryl has been very quiet today...

The patient transport is arriving at 7.30pm apparently.

one_step_closer 22-09-2024 06:36 PM

I hope it's ok at your local hospital. How long will the journey take?

tamobhuuta 22-09-2024 06:41 PM

According to Google, about an hour.

How are you?

one_step_closer 22-09-2024 06:52 PM

Do you mind travelling? I quite like a journey as long as it's not too long.

I'm thinking about my CPN appointment which is tomorrow. And I have an annoying sore back and can't get comfy.

not_so_insig 22-09-2024 07:24 PM

Sorry been asleep until the afternoon and then washed my hair. I have been reading my book and watching tv.

one_step_closer 22-09-2024 07:25 PM

Are you enjoying your book? I just finished one and started another one.

not_so_insig 22-09-2024 07:33 PM

It's a re-read Lindsay. I enjoyed it last time so hopefully I'll enjoy it the same again. I haven't added it to goodreads because I am one book away from my goal and it's already on there. I want to read 8 new books.

tamobhuuta 22-09-2024 07:35 PM

I don't mind travelling.

Enjoy your reading both!
