Hello Everyone!

I have spent most of today asleep/ in bed. Had a good day yesterday but did a bit too much so rest day was needed. I don't have an oodie but was given a very fluffy dressing gown this year!!!

What breed is the puppy Beckie? Hope you had fun going for walkies!

Hope your back eases soon Tamo. I find doing something called habit stacking can help with remembering exercises. For example doing them after something you already do each day such as brushing your teeth. After a while brushing your teeth reminds you to do exercises.

Hugs for you Lindsay. You deserve kindness, you are a kind person who gives a lot in support on ryl.

Hey Dawn, seen any good Christmas TV?

not_so_insig 26-12-2024 09:41 PM

Not really Jen. The only bit of decent tv was Doctor Who and Wallace and Gromit. There's an awful lot of films on but my concentration is so poor (thanks mh) I can't concentrate on one. I have spent most of today asleep.

long road 26-12-2024 09:47 PM

Both Doctor Who and new Wallace and Gromit are on my to watch list. So glad they were decent. My attention span isn't what it used to be partly due to mental health I find having subtitles on helps me focus.

Cacoethes 27-12-2024 08:39 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 27-12-2024 11:09 AM

Good morning Cacoethes how are you?

(Thanks for the tip lr)

Cacoethes 27-12-2024 02:21 PM

I'm ok thanks.
At work but finish at 5:30pm today. Was meant to be 6pm, but i started early to help out.
It's been crazy busy here today.

How are you?

not_so_insig 27-12-2024 04:05 PM

Afternoon all. I am reading my new book about wild swimming.

tamobhuuta 27-12-2024 04:45 PM

I hope work is going OK Cacoethes. Not long to go now!

Are you enjoying your book insig?

I watched the Christmas Doctor Who, it was good.

one_step_closer 27-12-2024 04:53 PM

Afternoon everyone. On here later today because I had an appointment with my CPN then things to catch up with.

I hope work doesn't leave you frazzled, Beckie.

Sounds interesting, Dawn. Is it about the benefits and what it does to your body or something else?

I'm glad you enjoyed Christmas Doctor Who, Tamo.

not_so_insig 27-12-2024 05:16 PM

Yes I am enjoying my book tamobhuuta.

Lindsay my book is a list of mainly places to go in various parts of the country and how to get there. There's an introduction too which mentions the benefits of going wild swimming. The place where I go is mentioned too.

one_step_closer 27-12-2024 06:57 PM

Do you think you would ever go on a wild swimming tour?

Cacoethes 27-12-2024 07:36 PM

Work was exhausting! Very busy.
Got a lot done though.

I'm going to watch doctor who this weekend, I'm house sitting at mum's so will be able to use their iplayer :-D

It's super foggy here!
Driving was a bit of an experience. Never driven in such bad fog before!

one_step_closer 27-12-2024 07:51 PM

Driving in fog is quite scary. Well done for managing.

Cacoethes 27-12-2024 08:12 PM

Thanks! Was a bit daunting. Only really because there are a great deal of idiots on the roads XD

Cacoethes 28-12-2024 11:30 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 28-12-2024 11:59 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

not_so_insig 28-12-2024 12:23 PM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 28-12-2024 12:47 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

not_so_insig 28-12-2024 01:04 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta

one_step_closer 28-12-2024 01:14 PM

Morning everyone, how are you all?

Glad you're ok, Dawn.

I have an allergy hangover. Had allergy symptoms yesterday for some reason, still feeling unwell but not as bad as yesterday. No sneezing etc today.

Cacoethes 28-12-2024 01:20 PM

Morning guys!

I'm ok thanks. Just about to go and meet my brother for lunch.

That sucks lindsay!
Hope it improves!

one_step_closer 28-12-2024 01:20 PM

Thanks, Beckie. I hope you have a nice time with your brother.

Cacoethes 28-12-2024 01:29 PM

Thanks :)

not_so_insig 28-12-2024 01:55 PM

Sorry you're unwell Lindsay.

one_step_closer 28-12-2024 02:07 PM

Thanks, Dawn. I'm ok. Just don't know what I had an allergic reaction to, especially since I am on all year round antihistamines.

What are you getting up to today?

not_so_insig 28-12-2024 02:13 PM

Nothing much is happening here today. Just an lazy day. Had an parcel arrive today so i will be trying out my new jumper later.

not_so_insig 28-12-2024 02:32 PM

My physical health condition is playing up now :-( .

one_step_closer 28-12-2024 06:39 PM

Sorry to hear that, Dawn. Do you have ways to manage?

tamobhuuta 28-12-2024 06:42 PM

Sorry people are unwell, I hope you feel better soon.

I've been painting the little wooden stegosaurus my big sister got me for Christmas.

one_step_closer 28-12-2024 06:48 PM

That sounds really cool and cute tamo. What colour(s) are you painting it?

tamobhuuta 29-12-2024 12:41 PM

Blue, green and silver osc.

Good morning all!

not_so_insig 29-12-2024 01:59 PM

Afternoon all

one_step_closer 29-12-2024 04:16 PM

Hi everyone, I haven't been around because I was busy with housework and then visited my friend.

How are you all?

tamobhuuta 29-12-2024 04:29 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

Busy busy osc, did you have a nice time with your friend?

Cacoethes 29-12-2024 04:58 PM

Hey everyone!

not_so_insig 29-12-2024 05:19 PM

I fell back asleep and didn't wake up until 10 minutes ago.

one_step_closer 29-12-2024 07:00 PM

I met my friend's husband properly and it wasn't awkward at all so yes it was nice to see them both and their cat of course.

What have you been up to, Tamo?

Hi Beckie, how are you doing?

Was it a restful sleep, Dawn?

Cacoethes 29-12-2024 07:41 PM

I'm ok thanks.
Home now and had a shower

How are you?
I'm glad meeting your friends husband went well!

one_step_closer 29-12-2024 07:43 PM

Are you going to take it easy for the rest of the day, Beckie?

I'm kind of worried about an appointment I have at a hospital tomorrow because I have had a sore throat for months. It's a bit scary not knowing what's going on but hopefully I'll get an answer at least.

one_step_closer 29-12-2024 07:46 PM

I was just looking at Jellycats on Vinted and a half eaten pig in blanket came up. 32 people favourited it. It was quite disgusting.

Cacoethes 29-12-2024 08:57 PM

Yeah. L is just cooking dinner and we'll watch something on Netflix probably.
S is pretty hyper but finally upstairs!

Good luck for your appointment lindsay!
Hope they can get to the bottom of things

Ew! That does sound pretty disgusting!

tamobhuuta 30-12-2024 10:57 AM

Good morning all.

Cacoethes 30-12-2024 11:02 AM

Morning tamo
How are you?

tamobhuuta 30-12-2024 11:29 AM

I am alright thanks. Just having a cup of tea. How are you?

Cacoethes 30-12-2024 01:35 PM

Nice!

I'm ok. Cleaned and washed up and folded washing while L and S were at the shop. Then went to get my meds.

Have you got any plans today?

one_step_closer 30-12-2024 03:44 PM

Afternoon everyone, how are your days going?

I had my appointment at the hospital today about my throat. Luckily the surgeon couldn't see anything serious and he thinks it's allergies and he gave me a nasal spray to try. The camera up my nose wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, he showed me my voice box on the screen and it looks like a vagina!

not_so_insig 30-12-2024 04:34 PM

Afternoon all. I had a long sleep again. Kinda worried about it. Woke up twice though - once by the postman. Still it's better than the unfortunate letter that I received on Christmas eve.

Glad it's nothing serious Lindsay.

Cacoethes 30-12-2024 06:35 PM

Glad everything seems OK lindsay!
And that it wasn't that bad of an experience

one_step_closer 30-12-2024 07:09 PM

Are you ok, Dawn?

How has your day been, Beckie?

I don't feel good. Weird/panicky/stressed/hyper. Need to calm down but don't know how. I spoke to someone on Duty and she told me to take PRN so I did.

Cacoethes 30-12-2024 07:15 PM

Not too bad thanks.
Did some jobs, picked up meds and we went to get some more fish for the tank.
Then I went for a run and showered.
L is cooking dinner now. I'm tired.

I'm glad you phoned duty. Well done!
Hopefully the PRN helps
