Morning everyone!

Up at 4:30 again :plain:

Morning! Ouch to up at 4:30. What time did you get to sleep? I got about 6 hours myself.

Hope work goes ok today.

I'm not sure. It was really hard to get to sleep and i kept waking up
So got about 4½ hours in total

Thanks!

How are you?

I am okish. Done meds and breakfast and now deciding whether to try and rest some more or get up and dressed and on with the day. Today was last day of steroids and tomorrow is GP appointment to check in.

Can you rest later in if you do decide to get up?
Hopefully your GP appointment will be helpful!

Well I have already been up to eat breakfast and go to bathroom. I have time to rest in later but who knows if my body will let me. Think I will listen to music for a bit and see how I feel.

Hoping GP appointment tomorrow will be helpful also hoping he doesn't think I need more steroids although I have a suspicion I might.

Good idea!

Hmmm. Tricky!

Yeah I am definitely staying in bed a bit longer I am exhausted.

Sounds like a plan!

Afternoon everyone. Sending good day wishes.

That's way too early, Beckie. Your body needs to be kinder to you with sleep. I forgot about the sleeping glitter, sorry. What time is work or are you there already? Hope your shift goes really well and you can enjoy seeing your workmates.

I hope you can get some more rest, Jen and hopefully even enough to allow you to do something nice with your day if there's something you want to do. I hope everything goes well with the GP tomorrow, I guess no more steroids would be good but if you need more it's only for the best. I hope you/your GP can get on top of things as much as possible.

Good afternoon. I overslept, only by 15 minutes but it screwed with my morning. I'm back on track now though :)

Afternoon all. I am going to have a busy day. Already had dpd come and had to move 2 heavy cat litter sacks into my cupboard. I am waiting for tesco to come and my stomach is making noise but I can't have any food until tesco comes!

It's annoying how small amounts of time can make such a difference to your plans. I'm glad you're back on track now, Tamo. What have you been up to?

When is Tesco coming, Dawn? Do you not have anything to eat in your house?

I had a nap. Woken up feeling rough asthma wise but maybe a little more energy underneath. Today is definitely a rest day. Don't think I am going to make it outside today. Will be lucky if I make it to the sofa for a bit.

Sorry to hear that, Jen. What low energy things can you do to occupy yourself?

I have tesco coming any time now and 3 pm. The thing is that I have only stuff that requires cooking and knowing my luck tesco will come when I am cooking. I have a sandwich in my tesco shopping order so will eat it when the tesco man has gone.

Ah. Hopefully your order should be here soon and you can have your sandwich. What kind did you get?

At the moment not really doing anything. Just watching a bit of you tube. Don't have much motivation as well as being low energy

My partner just collected our Tesco order and there was no salad leaves or coleslaw seems like everyone wants salad in this weather!

Tesco are running late and won't be here until after 3. If I had known then I would have made myself something. Good job I havent got to be anywhere today or have my cpn coming. My sandwich is a chicken caesar wrap.

Sods law them running late. Hope you are not too hungry Dawn.

I made it to the sofa and am now watching a cooking show.

My current status says that I am hungry but hangry is more accurate. Sadly hungry is the nearest I could get.

Well done Jen. I hope that you enjoy your show.

Thanks Dawn.

I hope the hangryness can be resolved quickly!

I've washed my hair and sorted my meds boxes for the week.

Well done Tamo. Have you got something nice you can do for yourself now as a reward?

I hope your order has arrived by now, Dawn.

Well done, Jen. What do you like about cooking shows? My Mum used to love watching them.

Well done, Tamo. Big things to have done. I hope you can relax now and do something nice.

I like the creativity of the things they make, the mild drama of things going slightly wrong in cooking competitions, picking up tiny bits of knowledge and I just like food. Used to watch them with my mum so that comfort aspect may be part of it as well.

Sounds good, I'm glad you have something you can focus on and hopefully enjoy. Do you have a favourite cooking show?

My favourite is probably Great British Menu as it is chef's making really fancy, out there food with theming and.theatre.
Competing to cook for a big banquet.

But right now I am watching MasterChef. The recent seriea has already finished but I got behind so am still watching the heats.

I like the recipe type shows a bit less but am quite fond of the Hairy Bikers as there shows blend travel, sillyness Nd food.

I don't think I've ever watched Great British Menu. I watched the other two at some point a long time ago. The Hairy Bikers are fun.

Great British Menu is very high level cooking which is something I know so little about that it's fun to learn and also to see that even professional chefs with Michelin stars have things go wrong under pressure.

Hairy Bikers are very fun.

About to attempt to cook in a minute. Making spaghetti and meatballs with homemade tomato sauce. Oh and some cheese on top.

Breathing still isn't great but it's manageable. Nervous about GP appointment tomorrow, I know GP will listen and help work out what is right for me but I am scared that what is right is more steroids at a higher dose so more mental health side effects. But then again breathing being easier again would be great so if I have to do it I will.

I made myself a hot chocolate and I'm watching doctor who. I'm now on jodie whittaker.

My order turned up at 3.30 pm. Annoyed is not the word.

I am like you Jen I like cookery shows but not the recipe type ones like Mary Berry, Nadia etc. They never give out the full recipe so I can't recreate it. Probably to sell more cookery books. Have you seen Gordon Ramsey's Future Food Stars? I am quite familiar with the filming locations of one episode.

I hope you get on well at the GP, Jen and whatever the outcome it is the right one for you and you can manage it and get support if you need to. Did you manage to make your dinner?

What hot chocolate do you drink, Tamo? Did you use your velvetiser? I hope you're enjoying Doctor Who.

At least it has arrived, Dawn. I hope you've managed to put your things away, have something to eat, and settle down.

Started cooking about 6:00pmish and just sitting down to eat. I could probably have cooked it faster but I did all prep before turning any heat sources on due to it being summer.

Haven't seen the Gordon Ramsay programme Dawn I find he can be a bit of abrasive for me at times although I have liked his more recent stuff more.

Yes I have managed to put everything away and had some food Lindsay. Sorry I didn't reply before I fell asleep.

I had galaxy instant osc.

Galaxy used to be my favourite instant Hot Choc Tamo. But recently I have got into Clipper Instant Hot Choc.

Well done, Jen. Did you enjoy your dinner?

That's good, Dawn. You tired?

I don't think I really notice the differences between different hot chocolate brands. But I don't drink hot chocolate much and I'd probably just pick up any tub and it would last me forever so I wouldn't have a comparison.

Haven't seen Beckie around yet. Hope she got on ok today.

Galaxy is best. Options is worst.

I did enjoy my dinner. I feel I did a good job.

I think Beckie had a tasting the menu thing after her shift so she may not be home yet.

Going to grab a shower and then try and get an early night I think.

Can I make the missing poster if Beckie doesn't return soon?

No.

5char

Rage.

(backstory for those not privy to my petty disputes - one time somebody went missing while I was asleep and somebody spread a rumour that I was jealous that I didn't get to make the missing poster (wtf??) so now I like to get in early on such things.

Lol

.....

Have you got a generic poster already made which you just need to add a photo and name to as required?

Jen! Just came across this post on Facebook that you might enjoy (and may have already seen, it doesn't look new):
