Oooh Starbucks! Nice!
Well done on the hair wash

one_step_closer 01-02-2025 06:43 PM

Free chocolate is always good!

Do you have anything much to do with the rest of the day, Beckie, or will you be able to have some rest?

Well done, Tamo. Are the showers there ok? The ones on my local ward are quite cold and low pressure. What did you get from Starbucks?

Cacoethes 01-02-2025 06:57 PM

Just need to set up the vivarium and shift some stuff about. But we'll do that when S has gone to bed. The viv is still in my car because it is rather large and I can't lift it!

Showers in my local wards are awful too!

How are you this evening lindsay?

one_step_closer 01-02-2025 07:10 PM

What made you decide to get a snake?

I'm very sore and dreading the task that is going to bed.

tamobhuuta 01-02-2025 08:10 PM

Showers have recently been fixed so do now run hot. But the jets come out at all angles so it's hard to get your hair properly wet.

Cacoethes 01-02-2025 08:19 PM

I've wanted a snake for a while! I didn't ask in my old house as snakes are widely feared, so i didn't think it was likely.
I joked to the crisis team that it was my anti mental health team snake, because no one would want to come in XD
But that is NOT the reason. Not the ONLY reason anyway.....:tongue2:

Sorry to hear that lindsay. I hope you manage to get a decent sleep at least.

Sounds like the showers at mine tamo. Water coming out at all angles!

Cacoethes 02-02-2025 09:16 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 02-02-2025 02:34 PM

Afternoon, Beckie. How are things with you today?

Cacoethes 02-02-2025 05:06 PM

Hiya!
I'm ok thanks.
Just at work on my break.

How are you?

one_step_closer 02-02-2025 07:08 PM

How is work going? When do you finish?

I'm still not great.

Where is everyone hiding today?

not_so_insig 02-02-2025 07:48 PM

Sorry Lindsay I have been out all day hence why I haven't been around.

one_step_closer 02-02-2025 07:50 PM

Were you doing anything nice, Dawn?

not_so_insig 02-02-2025 07:52 PM

I have been to the seaside and had a meal in a pub.

Cacoethes 02-02-2025 10:55 PM

Finished at 9pm lindsay
Finally home

Cacoethes 03-02-2025 08:06 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 03-02-2025 11:26 AM

Morning Beckie how are you?

one_step_closer 03-02-2025 01:13 PM

Afternoon both, how are you?

Cacoethes 03-02-2025 05:30 PM

I'm ok thanks.
Been to see my nanny today. Long old drive!

How are you both?

not_so_insig 03-02-2025 05:49 PM

I am not so great today. There's more details in serious.

Hope you enjoyed your visit to your nanny Beckie.

Cacoethes 03-02-2025 05:59 PM

Sorry to hear that dawn
Hope things pick up a bit soon

I did thank you :)

one_step_closer 03-02-2025 07:14 PM

That's nice you went to visit your nana, Beckie. How long was the drive?

I hope you can get some peace soon, Dawn.

I've had yet another struggle of a day. I don't know why my brain/body are creating such chaos for me right now.

Cacoethes 03-02-2025 07:55 PM

It's a 2 hour drive, so I'm pretty tired!
But well worth it :-D

I do wish life would give you a break lindsay. Sending many hugs

Cacoethes 04-02-2025 09:10 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 04-02-2025 11:57 AM

Morning Beckie and everyone else. I know that you are working today Beckie.

one_step_closer 04-02-2025 01:03 PM

Afternoon everyone, how are you all?

I had a worse sleep than usual last night since my body decided to add YET ANOTHER issue on top of everything else by making my back sore. What's next?!

not_so_insig 04-02-2025 01:59 PM

Sounds like you need a break.

I am ok except someone decided to rip my note off the communal door. Basically my doorbell is not working properly so I put a note telling them to use the trade button. I am expecting workmen this week so I don't want people to think that I am not in when I am!

tamobhuuta 04-02-2025 04:41 PM

Trouble typing but thinkihghhb of ypu all.lòoò

one_step_closer 04-02-2025 07:11 PM

That's a bit of a nuisance, Dawn. I hope it gets sorted soon.

I hope you're ok, Tamo. <3 Don't feel like you have to keep up with things here, just do what you need to do for you.

Cacoethes 05-02-2025 08:07 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 05-02-2025 10:12 AM

Morning all.

How are you doing today Beckie?

long road 05-02-2025 10:30 AM

Morning!

I got 4 hours sleep which is not enough sleep.
But can't go back to sleep as had to call the GP surgery about my asthma, as my lungs have been misbehaving and now have appointment at 11 am.

How is everyone else?

Cacoethes 05-02-2025 12:25 PM

Morning Dawn and Jen

I'm ok thanks. Tired.

How are you both?

long road 05-02-2025 12:36 PM

I am also tired. And fed up of misbehaving lungs. Have just got back from GP surgery and am back on steroids... But at least it's been around 3 months since I was last on them.

Cacoethes 05-02-2025 12:46 PM

That's pretty good going
Hopefully you won't need to be on them long

long road 05-02-2025 01:10 PM

For me it really is good going! Got a week's course so will see how it goes.

one_step_closer 05-02-2025 03:41 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Sorry you've had to go back on steroids, Jen. Hopefully the times in between needing them will gradually get longer.

What have you been up to today Beckie and Dawn?

not_so_insig 05-02-2025 03:47 PM

Nothing much Lindsay. I was supposed to go wild swimming but the person I go with is unwell. So other than cleaning and putting the recycling box out I have nothing to do today. Oh and washing my hair because it needs it.

Cacoethes 05-02-2025 03:57 PM

Not a lot here either.
I dropped my car off for repairs, L built the viv cabinet (viv is too small for it. It's a whole thing) I made brownies. We went to homebase and screwfix to see if we could find an mdf panel but no joy.
My car should be ready around 3:30 but L is asleep, so having a bit of a crisis about that because S gets home at 4pm. Then I'll head off to get my snake hopefully.

Shame about wild swimming dawn. Hopefully next time.

Are you up to much lindsay?

one_step_closer 05-02-2025 04:00 PM

I've done much the same today, Dawn. It's my bin day tomorrow and I had to wash my hair too.

Life things can be tricky, Beckie! I hope you can figure something out. I absolutely love the name you have chosen for your snake.

I had an appointment with my CPN. It went ok but he was in a rush.

Cacoethes 05-02-2025 04:37 PM

Thanks lindsay
I've looked at taxis but they all want £40 for a 15 min journey! Plus it's school run time, so none available immediately anyway.
Thanks! I'm glad you like his name!

That's a shame. Hate it when things feel rushed!

tamobhuuta 05-02-2025 05:21 PM

Hi guys.

long road 05-02-2025 05:24 PM

Hey Tamo

How you holding up?

Hope your things get successfully sorted with minimum stress Beckie.

Sorry you felt rushed Lindsay that sucks

one_step_closer 05-02-2025 06:38 PM

I hope you've got things sorted, Beckie.

Hi, Tamo. How are you doing today?

How are you now, Jen?

not_so_insig 05-02-2025 07:00 PM

Sorry your appointment with your cpn wasn't brilliant Lindsay.

I have managed to have a shower, do 2 loads of laundry (have a 3rd going in right now) and clean my toilet. Done some dusting but need to dust the living room. Need to register some postcards that I received.

Cacoethes 06-02-2025 07:52 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 06-02-2025 11:57 AM

Morning all.

How are you doing today Beckie?

Cacoethes 06-02-2025 12:24 PM

Morning Dawn
Struggling with some things but pushing on

How are you?

not_so_insig 06-02-2025 12:30 PM

I am not so great emotionally today but I slept well so that's something.

You working today?

long road 06-02-2025 01:04 PM

Morning Everyone!

Sorry to hear you are both having difficult days in one form or another Beckie and Dawn. Sending hugs if you would like them.

My lungs feel a little less grumpy today but complain if I do much of anything. Even talking is tiring me out! However steroids zoomies are starting to kick in so it's a challenge to rest.

Cacoethes 06-02-2025 01:20 PM

Sorry to hear that Dawn
I'm glad you slept well at least.
I hope your day improves

I am indeed working today. 1pm-9pm

Thanks jen. Much appreciated

Definitely important to rest
Though I understand it's easier said than done when you have the zoomies
