I'm still struggling. I've done my usual things, just need to sort out my bins and bird feeders which I do at 2.30pm.

Are you doing much with the rest of your day?

Still advisories from the MOT but I've asked for quotes to get them sorted. Hopefully I can get them sorted ASAP! Depends on how expensive! Google estimates one to be from £250-500! Obviously depending on make and model of car and stuff. A mazda 2 is a popular car though, so getting parts shouldn't be an issue at least.
The other one is just replacing a small bulb on the rear reg plate.

Hi wildharmony! How're you doing?

Sorry to hear you're struggling lindsay <3

Hey guys. And hi wildharmony, nice to meet you!

Other than doing some cleaning and cooking my tea I have no plans Lindsay. I have put the recycling boxes out and moved my wheelie bin to the collection point. I have washed my hair and dried it.

Advisories aren't a get them fixed quick or else thing are they? Of course you want to get them sorted asap though.

Hi Tamo, how are you doing?

Well done for doing all those things, Dawn.

No, they aren't. Well, said asap, but not like a 'you must get them done IMMEDIATELY or your car will explode' thing!

I'm ok thanks. Been feeling pretty zonked which I think pleased the staff. Well done everyone for achievements!

Morning everyone

Afternoon, Beckie. How are things with you today?

Not too bad thanks!
How about you?

Just had my PIP assessment. It was an hour and a half phone call. Absolutely exhausted now but relieved it's over.

Hope you all have good days xxx

Very glad that's over for you!

I had a text about my PIP thing. Apparently they've got the documents from the health professional (idk which one!) And it'll take 6 weeks for a decision. So idk wtf is going on with that XD

It's such a weight off my mind that assessment is now done. Still got to wait the 4 weeks or so for decision but can't do anything more until then so can put I out of my mind now.

Well hope it works out ok. Mystery professional forms! XD

I can imagine!
These things are not designed to be easy!

Thanks! Mystery professional indeed XD

I've just cleaned out the piggos

Have they acknowledged the new clean environment or did they ignore you?

I am trying to rest but still have some residual anxiety so can't quite sit still.

Good afternoon everyone.

I'm glad the assessment is over and done with LR.

Hmm I'm intrigued to know the identity of the mystery professional.

How are you osc?

They demanded grass as compensation for their trauma of being temporarily removed from their cage. Ungrateful b*stards XD

Understandable jen

I honestly don't know who it could be! GP, neurologist, cmht???

How are you tamo?

Honestly Guinea Pigs these days! Any excuse for treats XD

You should quiz each professional you see if they filled in forms for you. Starting with GP and CC as they seem most likely

Thanks Tamo how are you?

Always! XD

They do seem the most likely.
Though it does concern me that I wasn't asked if it was ok for them to share info. I'm sure I've always been asked...

Hello all. I have been to my hearing voices group today. Have started on my cleaning.

Well done for managing that, Jen. An hour and a half phone call is so long! Hope they get back to you soon and you get what you need. I'm on Adult Disability Payment which is the Scottish version of PIP and they are so much worse than PIP for keeping me updated etc.

At least grass isn't too much of a hassle or expense, Beckie. Imagine if they were demanding diamonds!

How are you, Tamo?

Hi Dawn, I hope your day has been a good one.

I had a really difficult GP appointment.

I definitely consider myself lucky they only demand grass!

Well done for making the appointment and getting through it lindsay! I know that can't have been easy

Thank you.

What are you doing with the rest of your day?

I'm good thanks, the psych wants to give it another week to see if the meds changes are working .

Morning everyone

Morning all.

How are you doing today Beckie? I woke up with cramp in my left leg. It's painful.

Im ok thanks!

Ouch! Leg cramp is horrible!
Has it eased up at all?

It's slightly better than before now Beckie. At least I am not hobbling now.

That's something, at least!

I wish the crisis team would hurry up!
I have things to do!

Hope crisis comes soon.

They called 30 mins ago and said they'd see me shortly and have still not arrived!
So frustrating!

Afternoon everyone.

I hope you have seen crisis by now, Beckie.

I get cramp in my toes, Dawn. Cramp is horrible. I hope it has sorted itself out.

I have indeed!
I have now been discharged from them :-D

How are you lindsay?

Yes my cramp only hurts a tiny bit. However it's a bad day for muscle spasms today.

Is your CC going to see you soon, Beckie?

I'm trying to get my head around the fact that I'm likely to now always be sensitive to noise since it's due to psychological stuff. Noises even small ones are really painful in my ears and head.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Who knows!

That sounds awful lindsay
I'm sorry. I wish I could suggest something helpful

Would you phone your CC to find out?

She'll probably phone next week at some point. It's all good!

Just popping in to say hi.

Hey tamo!
Hope you're doing ok

Morning everyone

Good afternoon how are you?

Frustrated!
Just been to pick up a viv from a random place.
Came to pick up meds from crisis team which was 30 mins away. They said to call when I get here because there's no reception on weekends. Which is fine. But the crisis team number has gone through to 111 option 2 for some reason. So I've been on hold for 10 mins waiting to get through so far :plain:
Have to go somewhere else after this which is another 30 mins away. Then home.
Ugh!

How are you?

Afternoon all.

Hope you're sorted out now Beckie.

Afternoon everyone.

That sounds really annoying, Beckie. I hope the rest of your day is better.

Hi Tamo and Dawn, how are you both?

My physical complaint is playing up so currently I am feeling rotten. Also had a nervy b before thanks to my bank. There's more details in my r/v.

Sorry to hear that. Do meds or anything help with the physical stuff? Bank things can be so stressful.

I have some meds to take if there's a flare up. I am going to drink some lucozade sport which helps with lost minerals.

But the good news is that Morrisons sent me a voucher for a free bar of chocolate because it is my birthday this month. :-D

Got sorted eventually.
Then had to wait for ages at the other place but I'm finally home. Exhausted!

Good to see some positives amongst the woes. My mum visited bringing starbucks and I've had a hairwash.
