The bus didn't turn up :angry: and if I waited for the next one the shop would have shut by the time I got to town. So that's £4 down the drain. :-(

tamobhuuta 18-03-2025 04:45 PM

Hi everyone. I want a cup of tea but can't find a cup and hopefully soon the tai chi man will come.

Sorry about your bus insig :(

not_so_insig 18-03-2025 05:06 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta and I hope you get a cuppa soon.

one_step_closer 18-03-2025 06:58 PM

That's pretty annoying, Dawn. Public transport can be unreliable sometimes.

I hope you managed to have a nice cup of tea and enjoyed tai chi, Tamo.

Cacoethes 18-03-2025 07:46 PM

I had a nice time with my nanny thank you!
Also popped in to see my granddad's wife, because she's not too far from my nanny.
Just got home. I'm exhausted XD

Cacoethes 19-03-2025 08:37 AM

Morning everyone

Elmer 19-03-2025 10:52 AM

Morning! How are you?

I have a hospital appointment this morning so I’m in Costa as a pre-appointment reward. There’s a man on what sounds like a work Zoom call, which doesn’t seem entirely professional!

Cacoethes 19-03-2025 01:44 PM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks. At work though :(
1pm-9pm

Hope your appointment goes OK!
That doesn't sound professional at all!

Elmer 19-03-2025 02:59 PM

I hope work isn't too busy and that the customers are tolerable!

My appointment was OK, lots to think about. I'm home now.

What's the weather like with you guys? It's warm and sunny here, so nice.

one_step_closer 19-03-2025 03:05 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope work goes well, Beckie. I might send a bus full of passengers to give you one compliment each and a tip and then leave without you having to do anything!

I hope you're ok after your appointment, Lio. Maybe you need a post appointment reward too.

It's sunny here, a bit cold but not as bad as it has been.

Elmer 19-03-2025 03:56 PM

Hi Lindsay! How are you?

Thank you, I did have a post appointment reward, I went and had lunch in the park before the bus home, it was lovely :)

I hope it warms up a bit for you. The room I'm in is always colder than the rest of the house so I am a bit chilly now too

one_step_closer 19-03-2025 07:11 PM

That sounds like a really nice reward. It's a shame you can't bring the sun inside to warm you up. My house is often cold too.

I'm not sure how I am right now. Although I had an appointment with my CPN and every time I told him about the different things I'm feeling and thinking he told me that's not what I'm thinking or feeling and decided he knows me better than me. It wasn't a very helpful appointment.

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 08:48 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 20-03-2025 01:38 PM

Hello all.

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 01:38 PM

Hi Dawn!

one_step_closer 20-03-2025 03:01 PM

Afternoon everyone. How are you all?

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 03:04 PM

Hello! I'm ok thanks.
Apart from a fractured wrist, but I'll live XD

How are you?

one_step_closer 20-03-2025 03:07 PM

You need to sit down and never move, Beckie, but I bet you'd end up getting hurt doing that anyway! How long will it take to heal, do you know?

I'm just trying to get on with things.

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 03:21 PM

Most likely XD
Probably 6 weeks-ish. If I manage to keep it immobilised sufficiently!
I've only been alone for about 2 hours and I'm already going insane from not being able to do anything!

Getting on with things is good, I know it probably doesn't feel that way though when you feel you have to do things

tamobhuuta 20-03-2025 03:42 PM

Afternoon all. That's a shame about your wrist Cacoethes. I hope it mends well. How's getting on with things going osc?

Elmer 20-03-2025 03:50 PM

Hi :)

I am so glad you got your wrist looked at Beckie, I know it sucks not being able to do things but it's better to take a few weeks to let it heal properly than unknowingly making it worse while it's untreated!

Hope you're not being too hard on yourself Lindsay, it's an achievement to keep getting on with things :)

I have a haircut today. Would really rather not but it'll be good to have easier to manage hair!

tamobhuuta 20-03-2025 03:53 PM

Are you having anything interesting done Elmer?

Elmer 20-03-2025 04:05 PM

No, just need a few inches chopped off! I've left it too long, as per.

How are you, Tamo?

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 05:19 PM

Thanks guys <3

You are absolutely correct lio!

Hope your haircut goes ok!
I always leave it too long too XD

Hope you're doing ok tamo! We miss you!

tamobhuuta 20-03-2025 05:36 PM

I don't know how I am. My reality and others' still don't seem to interact, even though actual voices have gone.

not_so_insig 20-03-2025 05:51 PM

Hello all. I am ok. Just been setting up my new phone and my mum came to see me. Now slowly attempting to clean my flat. I am typing this from my tablet as my new phone is currently charging. It's bin day here so fetched in my recycling boxes before too.

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 06:03 PM

That sounds tough tamo
I hope things get better soon

one_step_closer 20-03-2025 06:32 PM

Which wrist is it, Beckie? You will have to become a pro at doing things one handed.

I'm glad that you're not experiencing voices, Tamo. That's hopefully a step in the right direction anyway. I hope you're feeling better and able to get home soon.

I hope your hair appointment went ok, Lio. I very rarely get my hair cut and usually just get enough cut off to get rid of the split ends. The last time I went to the hairdresser they cut way too much off and my hair was curling upwards at the end for a long time until it grew out.

Hope you like your new phone, Dawn.

Cacoethes 20-03-2025 07:26 PM

My left wrist luckily! It's still such a hassle though!

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 07:55 AM

Morning all.

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 08:40 AM

Morning Dawn
How are you?

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 08:56 AM

Annoyed and bored because I am awake. Too early to do anything noisy. I have swept my flat and am planning to wash my bedding at 9 am. Other than that and getting dressed idk what to do. Tv is crap this time of day.

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 09:09 AM

It is annoying being up early when you dont need to be
I'm ok thanks

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 09:28 AM

Glad you're ok Beckie. How is the wrist today?

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 09:33 AM

Thank you
It's very painful. But have to get on with things!

Do you have any plans today, other than your cleaning?

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 09:50 AM

Nope. I got bored in the end and put the bedding in the wash. My washing machine is quite quiet so won't disturb the neighbours. I also got partially dressed too.

Sorry your wrist is painful.

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 09:54 AM

Chill day then?
Hate morning boredom! It's the worst

Thanks. Waiting for a blood test now

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 10:06 AM

Hope your blood test goes ok.

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 10:40 AM

Thank you. Got blood eventually
Apparently my name fills her with dread, because my veins can be difficult XD

one_step_closer 21-03-2025 02:15 PM

Afternoon everyone.

I hope you're all getting on ok.

Beckie you are the definition of difficult! :laugh: Joking.

not_so_insig 21-03-2025 02:39 PM

Afternoon Lindsay how are you? The kitchen and hall floor has been mopped.

one_step_closer 21-03-2025 02:46 PM

Well done, Dawn. Have you got much else to do? Today is a 3 month household tasks day for me (clean washing machine, clean hoover filters, change toothbrush) plus I washed my hair and did my usual going to the chemist and shop.

tamobhuuta 21-03-2025 04:37 PM

You're all so clean! Gold stars all round.

Cacoethes 21-03-2025 05:19 PM

No lies detected lindsay XD
I can be pretty difficult!

Well done for doing things guys!

one_step_closer 21-03-2025 07:04 PM

I will definitely accept a gold star!

How are you, Tamo?

What are you doing with the rest of your day, Beckie?

tamobhuuta 21-03-2025 10:12 PM

I'm ok thanks osc, just feeling a bit conflicted.

Cacoethes 22-03-2025 10:57 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 22-03-2025 11:36 AM

Morning all.

one_step_closer 22-03-2025 02:27 PM

Afternoon everyone, how are you all?

Tamo, remember we're here if you need to talk through anything.

not_so_insig 22-03-2025 03:40 PM

I am ok thanks Lindsay. Had a shower.
