Morning!

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Morning all. I have had to phone the council today as my shower has stopped working. It was very stressful making the phone call.

Well done! When will they fix your shower?

I'm ok thanks
Been to gym and decided to go home to pick up my shopping bags and straight out to aldi to get it over with.

How are you?

I'm ok. I'm seeing my spiritual director this afternoon :)

That's good

Not sure when they'll fix my shower tamobhuuta. Someone is coming to look at it today. I might have to have a new one, which god knows how many days it will take to fix.

Have you been shopping yet Cacoethes?

I hope your shower is easily fixed insig.

Yeah. I went straight after the gym.
Just popped home to get my shopping bags and went back out.

Hey everyone. Feel like sending love to you all so *sends love*

Well done for making the phone call, Dawn. I hope everything gets sorted soon. Did you check the trip switch? When I was in hospital at some point and my brother was at my house he said the shower wasn't working but when I got home it was just the trip switch that had switched off or whatever you call it. I almost bought a new TV and laptop charger once because I thought they weren't working but it was just the trip switch for my living room sockets.

How was the gym, Beckie? Did you get everything you needed from Aldi? What is the rest of your day looking like?

I hope it goes well with your spiritual director, Tamo. What do they do, if you don't mind me asking? No need to reply.

I'm having a hard day. Missed the gym group. I have put a washing on and sorted all the clothes out and that's my only task for today. Got crispie cakes from the shop but they're not that good because they don't have mars bar in the crispy bit so they're a bit plain.

Love to you too lindsay!

Gym was good thanks!
I forgot to get a cucumber but i still have one and a half left! So that's fine.
I have to drop a parcel at the locker because i sold something else on vinted.
Was going to do it a minute ago, but realised that the item was a little dusty so I've put it on a quick wash to freshen it up!
Also glow beatz tonight.

Sorry your day isn't going too well.
Well done for sorting the washing though!
Ugh, hate disappointing food!

Thank you, Beckie.

Did you do the evil moving stairs at the gym? I didn't make it to the gym group today, should maybe do some exercise at home but I still don't believe that home equals exercise! How long will the one and a half cucumbers last? How are the piggies? Are you doing well with selling things on Vinted? I am trying to give away a huge display board for free since I am no good with knowing sizes and I bought it as a frame to put a poster in but it was way too big but no one wants it. When I was asking for money for it someone messaged me asking if it had a light on it but it doesn't so they didn't want it.

Yes Lindsay I checked the trip switch. Unfortunately it's not that sadly :-( .

Oooh one of my parcels from the USA has arrived.

I did not actually!
The worse exercise today was probably hugging a 16kg ball while doing step ups on a rather high box (not normal step height) XD
And mini circuits, involving throwing said ball over my shoulder repeatedly and doing the rope thing. Which doesn't look like it'll be difficult, until you do it! Lol

I know what you mean about home exercise not feeling like it counts. But i assure you it does!

Piggies are fine! Although annoyed that i had the audacity to not give them yet another treat when i came in from posting the parcel!
The cucumbers will last about 3/4/5 days i think! Depends if it gets really hot again, i give them more then because of the water content.

Vinted is incredibly easy to sell things on! And you post most things at an in post locker with a QR code, which is literally less than 5 mins from my house. So no excuse for being lazy and waiting until whenever to send it!

Could you give it to a charity shop?

Exciting, Dawn! How many more are you waiting on?

That sounds like torture, Beckie! You are such a terrible person for not constantly providing treats for your piggies.

I need to sort out a lot of my stuff. There is so little storage in my house that I have loads of storage boxes piled up everywhere. I have a couple of boxes of things I was going to sell on eBay but I've decided to look through them and see what I can sell and what isn't worth it and I'll take things to a charity shop. Might need a few trips but I don't think there will be enough for them to collect things from me.

Always torture XD
Yes i most certainly am! They're both sulking now lol

Sorting stuff out can be a very daunting job when there's a lot of it!
Do you ever get those charity clothes bags through the letterbox?

Haha, sulking piggies! They sound very much like children!

Yeah I sometimes get those bags although a lot of them just want clothes and I only have maybe two t-shirts that I'm looking to get rid of.

They really are!

Ah yeah, that's annoying! If only they had a similar thing for non clothes! I guess it wouldn't be cost effective though.

I am waiting for 2 parcels but am unsure because the tracking number doesn't work! A lot of people who are waiting for the same parcels have said the same they just magically turn up.

How's the weather with everyone today? I've seen no posts about people being too hot which has become the norm! It's been raining all day here.

Surprise parcel arrivals are nice but the wait can be annoying.

It's dull here and rather cold in comparison to the heat lately here Lindsay. Not sure if it's raining because I have yet to go out. But I wouldn't surprise me if it is.

My shower is fixed! Hooray!

Hello everyone. It's been busy here! My spiritual director was helpful. Osc, she helps me with my spiritual life like prayer but also other things eg she thinks I should harass my CPN about having a support worker.

Much cooler today. But I've been in a vest top and shorts all day and still fine outside.
But i warm up when i walk!

Just popped out again to take some stuff to the food bank.
Only about a 20 min walk. So I'm warm after that!
Forgot it was feral child hour so had to battle through hundreds of bloody kids!

It's warm but not that warm!

Yay for your shower being fixed quickly, Dawn! Do you not open your blinds/curtains to see outside?

I'm glad your spiritual director was helpful, Tamo. Are you going to try and mention to your CPN again about a support worker?

Oh no, the hour of the children! I hope you're not too traumatised, Beckie. You've always got to be doing something haven't you?!

If I am bad mh wise I don't tend to open my curtains Lindsay. Anyway I have been out and it's been raining here but wasn't at the time if that makes sense. I have had an nice shower as I probably stank (I have a medical condition which means I have to shower most days and at my worst go through several changes of clothes). Now to open my parcel once I find the scissors.

Very traumatised! :tongue2:

Yeah i do! I really don't like sitting around!

Osc, I will phone him tomorrow. How's your day going?

You went out then had a shower before opening the parcel, Dawn! I would have been too excited by the parcel and opened it first.

Day complete after Glow Beatz though?

Good luck with the call, Tamo. I'm having a hard day but spoke to a nice lady on Duty so feel a bit better.

And shower after glow beatz. But then I am finito!

Glad duty were nice lindsay!
Well done for calling them :)

You really should be sleeping well with all you're getting up to, but do you have some wind down time before bed?

Thank you.

I was too on edge waiting for the shower man to contemplate opening my parcel Lindsay. Also in case it was bad news and I had to spend another day without a shower I wanted something to cheer me up. It's a model of a rider on horseback of the then Queens Household Cavalry.

Also well done Lindsay on calling duty. I am glad that it was helpful.

You'd think so! Alas, it is not to be! XD

Yeah I'll have some chill time.
Just got to pop out to the locker again to return something from asos
Lol

Have you got a nice place to display it, Dawn?

Thank you.

For goodness sake, Beckie! Honestly!

I have a display cabinet which it will go in Lindsay.

What else have you got in your display cabinet? Do you collect horses?

It was only a little walk! So NOW all i have to do is glow beatz and shower XD

You shouldn't be paying rent, are you actually ever in your house? :laugh:

Haha!
I'm in my house more than you would think! Most of my going out things don't take long at all!

You sound like a wee jack in the box today though, the amount of times you have been in and out!

I hope Jen's doing ok. Not seen her about today.

I am restless!

She's commented on one of my fb posts today. 4 hours ago.
Do miss her in here though!

I hope you're feeling ok, Beckie.

Well that lets me know she's alive anyway!

Totally fine!

Its raining!
Might clear some of the mugginess!
Waiting for glow beatz now. Luckily there's a sheltered bit outside the door!

*waves*
Hi guys!

I didn't wake up until midday and when I made it out of bed decided to try and use my phone less today and spent most of the day sat on sofa watching YouTube on my TV via my laptop and either focusing on that or doing word puzzles with YouTube in the background. .

And at one point I briefly popped on Facebook. Been a bit of a nothing day really.

Just started using my phone again and so popped on to find out you guys missed me. Which is very sweet.

In more exciting news I am having Brinner (Breakfast for dinner). Bacon, eggs, Hashbrowns, beans, mushrooms and tomatos!
