Aww yay for a mostly fixed phone Tamo, that's good news!

What time did they say they would call Beckie?

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 11:36 AM

They just said 'in the morning'.
Morning is rapidly coming to an end!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 11:37 AM

eugh how unhelpful!!!

Call them at 12.01 and be like "Morning's over dickheads"

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 11:39 AM

Morning with health people can mean any time in the next week...

I emailed my GP practice about an inaccurate letter they sent to cardiology. Also the letter was sent in April so I wondered if there was any news...

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 11:42 AM

Haha! I definitely do feel like doing that XD
They've called as late as 3pm when its meant to be a morning call. And of course, she called in the 20 mins I had taken to go to asda :eyeroll:


Hm. Might be worth checking, that sounds important!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 11:42 AM

This is why I won't promise a time, when someone asks for one of the vets to phone them back about their case. I'm one of 12 receptionists, if we all promise a time, the vet will get no consulting done ;)

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 11:52 AM

Exactly!
In reality, i know it can't always be morning, but at least say that when the appointment is booked! There's really no point in saying morning when it's most likely going to be at any random time

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 11:55 AM

Exactly. If you'd just been told "today" you wouldn't be on edge every minute it gets closer to 12.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 11:57 AM

Yep! It's just frustrating!
I have stuff to do!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 12:01 PM

What're you up to today?

I've also got loads to do, but I'm laying on the sofa on here pretending I don't!

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 12:04 PM

Hey everyone.

Nice to see you Beth :) pretending is ok for a while! I hope you can get through your tasks and still do fun things too.

I hate waiting on calls. Heard anything yet, Beckie? It is no longer morning! I don't even know how to get in touch with my GP surgery, the website is a mess and they have rules about phoning.

Glad your phone's more understandable now, Tamo. I hope you have a good day.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 12:04 PM

Nothing too exciting! But i do need to go to the shops and pick up my meds.
And glow beatz tonight.

Well, you are always working so hard so i think you deserve a bit of sofa time!

No call yet :plain:

I'd just call them lindsay! If they're not contactable any other way, you need to tell them that!

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 12:05 PM

Ninja, Beckie. Glow Beatz again!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 12:06 PM

Sounds like a good day!

Hey OSC.

yah, I'm off work this week because it's my birthday on Friday (It's a big one!) and I have a show Friday night and Saturday night to rehearse for.

Rehearsing is one of the things on the list!

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 12:11 PM

Ooh, birthday! I hope you have a good one.

I'm too scared to phone the GP surgery!

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 12:18 PM

I hope you have a lovely birthday week Ahimsa.

Osc, i was very nervous phoning the GP, it was such a relief when I got an auto message telling me to email.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 12:23 PM

Depends if I'm up to it tbh!
Feel very sick and headachey!

Birthday!
I'm so glad you got a week off for it! Big birthdays are special!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
I used to be like that tbh. Now i actually prefer to call people, because i can get things sorted straight away rather than waiting days for an email!

not_so_insig 19-07-2023 12:33 PM

My cat litter arrived. He didn't bother ringing the doorbell or even knocking just dumped it outside my door. As it was 2 very heavy bags that made it tricky. But I got it in my cupboard now which was slightly knackering. It was only the fact that I heard a noise that I knew it was delivered.

Apart from ryl bin night I have nothing to do today. I think that it's ordinary bin night tonight am confused because I missed a week due to being on holiday.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 12:45 PM

The dr has called! Hooray!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 12:47 PM

Yay!!

Was it okay?

I made progress and made it to the car garage to get my tyre looked at!

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 12:56 PM

Yeah. Got to go for more blood tests at the beginning of August but that's about it.
Apparently the cmht were meant to talk to me about meds a couple of weeks ago. Lol
Unfortunately now the pharmacy is closed for lunch. But i actually have enough meds until tomorrow morning, so I'll go tomorrow.
I'll go to aldi though. I do need to just get out of the house. Going a bit stir crazy!



Yay! Well done!

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 12:57 PM

Hurray for doctors and cat litter!

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 01:02 PM

Assistant manager has just posted an incentives board at work.
Apparently I am 3rd at selling sides to go with mains!
(1st is people ordering on the app)
It's complete coincidence, because i HATE upselling XD

long road 19-07-2023 01:08 PM

Afternoon everyone!

You have been busy bees in the thread today!

It's a nice day here today so i am out in my hammock under the shade of the gazebo listening to music and chilling.

Had a bit of trouble waking up this morning was trapped between waking and sleeping and maybe had a non epileptic seizure but came round eventually.

Beckie just to say you can be clever without getting science and maths stuff that goes into things like engineering. Lots of different types of intelligence and skills etc.

Lol at accidentally being the person people who already want sides go to!

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 01:21 PM

Jenna, I've come to ikea, which is in the same retail park Chiquitos used to be in. RIP.

I thought of you.

not_so_insig 19-07-2023 01:22 PM

I fancy garlic bread. Alas I have none :-(

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 01:35 PM

Do you like garlic pizza bread or French bread? Or both! I like pizza bread garlicky.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 01:55 PM

Sounds lovely jen!

That's true. The assessment people on Monday said i am 'highly intelligent'. Most professionals do tbh! Just not in a maths/science kinda way!

Aww RIP chiquitos!

I've just been to aldi.
They have put bottles of fake coke up from 49p to 55p. Which kinda messed up my budget tbh!
But L is bringing some veg and grass from her garden for the piggos! :)
I do have enough food for them until payday, i think. Always end up going through it faster than i expect!

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 02:20 PM

I'm waiting to find out when my Asda delivery is coming. It's between 2pm and 4pm. Usually put the bins out and fill the bird feeders at 2.30pm. Also waiting for a new very pretty notebook and have just finished my current one but I usually write in it about 3pm but my new one isn't coming till late. I have loads of notebooks but want to use this one next. Might just write on some paper and then transfer it.

I hate when they leave deliveries and don't even knock. Especially if it's at the front door where everyone can see it and potentially steal it.

Sounds like you're on a roll, Beth!

Maybe you can just set up your fluffies in L's garden and they can munch through it, Beckie!

I'm glad you're getting hammock time, Jen. Did you manage to do something to make it higher off the ground?

Garlic baguettes are in my Asda order, and the van has just this second pulled up!

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 02:24 PM

Hope you're having fun putting away your shopping!

long road 19-07-2023 02:27 PM

We found some left over fence posts from when we put the garden picket fence in and have use them to raise the frame :) It was amusing while we tried to see if it was safe partner almost fell out of hammock when we didn't have the supports right XD all sorted now though.

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 02:28 PM

Well done!

not_so_insig 19-07-2023 02:56 PM

I have dyed my hair. It's a light blonde. Watched Keeping Up Appearances whilst it was developing.

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 03:12 PM

Nice :)

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 03:26 PM

I smacked my head off the door frame when I was bending down to pick up the shopping, luckily the delivery guy didn't see though!

That is very crafty, Jen. My Dad was always fixing things and building things with random bits.

Ooh. Have you had it that colour before, Dawn?

How are you getting on today, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 03:29 PM

Ow, is your head OK?

My day is OK thanks. Been stressing about my care plan mainly!

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 03:32 PM

Yeah my head is ok. I didn't even flinch it just made an awful sound!

What's stressing you about it? I saw your post.

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 03:40 PM

I have 2 bags full of grass and veg now!

Yay for garlic baguettes!

Oof! Hope you don't get a bump on your head lindsay!
I whacked my head weeks ago and it still hurts when i touch it XD

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 03:53 PM

There's loads of old **** in it that is unhelpful, and nothing helpful about how to help me now. I worry a GP will look at it and misunderstand me. Thanks for your reply!

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 03:55 PM

GP records have a lot of random stuff in them

not_so_insig 19-07-2023 04:39 PM

I have had blonde before Lindsay but not for ages.

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 05:21 PM

It is upsetting to see past stuff that is often wrong, Tamo. *hugs*

Doing great, Beth!

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 05:23 PM

Thanks osc.

one_step_closer 19-07-2023 05:26 PM

Can you do something nice for yourself, Tamo?

long road 19-07-2023 05:29 PM

Been trying to nap for the past 2 hours. First in the hammock then in bed but to no avail. I am tired and achy and a bit grumpy about it.

Oh well maybe I can sleep earlier than 3am tonight. But I do want to have energy for Roleplaying tonight.

Well Done Beth.

Ahimsa 19-07-2023 05:30 PM

What type of roleplaying is it? :)

tamobhuuta 19-07-2023 05:32 PM

I'm in my oodie watching friends :)

long road 19-07-2023 05:34 PM

Tabletop roleplaying but online. It's a friend's own system and we are trying to start a revolution to free an occupied part of our fictional country

Cacoethes 19-07-2023 05:34 PM

Well done beth!
Very productive!

I'd be grumpy about that too jen!
