Sorry to hear that lr. I hope you get some decent sleep.

It was intentional, I was awake anyway and it needed doing.

That's the best pasta bake Beckie, good choice!

Costa hot chocolate is ace, have you tried the Black Forest one?

This is a quiet day for me, usually I have to do all that along with a 9 hour shift but I'm off this week!

I haven't tried the black forest one!
Will have to

Morning everyone

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Morning!
I'm ok thanks. On the train, beginning my sneaky journey home before my nail appointment at 2 :-D

How are you?

I'm ok too. Waiting for my dad at 10.30. Do you know how you want your nails?

How did you get away with saying a nail appointment would last so long, Beckie?!

Hope you're having a nice time with your Dad, Tamo.

Hi Tamo and Beckie :)
Hope your nail appointment and a break at home can help lift your spirit a bit, Beckie <3
Hope your dad has brought something yummy for you, Tamo :)
I'm taking a wee break with a latte machiatto. I should be hoovering the livingroom before a friend of mine visits later today but she doesn't care too much about the state of my home and the past 5 days have been way too much so trying to avoid ending up in a mental breakdown….!!!

Lindsay, you sneaky wee Ninja!!! ;)
Hope you will have a nice day too<3

Thank you, Kat. And you! Hope you have a nice time with your friend.

Is he bringing you costa tamo?

I have 2 ideas but can't choose so I'll ask my nail lady for her professional opinion!

They didn't ask lindsay!
They didn't even ask what time I'll be back XD

Thank you zurg!
It is especially nice seeing the piggos!
Gave them a little parsley and a head scratch!
Well, gave pippin a head scratch. Merry will not entertain the idea. He acts like he's better than everyone XD

If she doesn't care then don't stress zurg!
Your mental health is more important than a hoovered living room!
Hope you enjoy yourself :)

Hi all,

my meeting today went better than expected!

Hey everyone,

I am still in bed. Yesterday's triple threat has taken it out of me.

Yay for piggos and lattes and things going better than expected.

It wasn't my dad, it was my mum. She did bring me Costa :)

Yay Costa! What did you have Tamo?

Afternoon all.

Good afternoon Dawn!

Thanks Jen.

How are things?

I am much better than yesterday. Slept very well. Actually a bit too well.

Glad to hear it. I guess you woke up late is what you meant by sleeping almost too well?

Hey guys!

Lindsay and dawn, thanks so much for my Christmas cards :)

Glad you got it Beckie I was kinda worried that you wouldn't get it because you are IP.

Yes Jen I woke up late.

Opened all my post today. Made me smile!

Yay for positive post. I am waiting for a second call back from pharmacist at my GP surgery. The first cal could have gone better (see RV if you want details):and now I am stuck in waiting mode for the call back. It's been an hour...

You're welcome, Beckie.

Waiting for phone calls is horrible. Have you got anything to distract you a bit, Jen?

Struggling to focus on distractions as I have no idea when I will get a call. Or what the outcome will be.

I really hope they phone soon and you get a positive outcome.

Have you heard back yet LR? I'm going to read RV now.

I've just woken up from a nap

Yay for fun post!

Hope the call is OK lr.

Glad you slept well insig.

I had a latte and blueberry muffin. Om nom nom.
I started painting my gift for my godmother.

Hope the call was ok jen

Was it a refreshing nap beth?

Blueberry muffins are the best muffins
Apart from the Cadbury ones with the caramel inside them

Was it a good nap, Beth? Hope you're not preparing to be up till the early hours of the morning again!

What are you going to paint, Tamo?

Muffins should always have chocolate in them.

How are you getting on, Beckie?

I would agree with most other bakery items, but muffins are best with blueberries!

Oh no! I don't like how it's all jammy in the middle!

Each to their own!

I think i might have a cold

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

In the end the nice nurse practitioner who knows me phoned back at 5:15pm, said I think you need to see someone but I am meant to finish at 5pm so come and see the duty GP who finishes at 6pm (and just so happened to be my GP Dr A). Saw Dr A, at 6:10pm, chest sounds tight and have a slight wheeze but not in acute phase so going to see how I go tonight and if it gets any worse/ I have another attack then start a course of steroids. They had had a crazy busy day by the sounds of it.

Blueberry muffins are my favourite especially from M&S. Although M&S also do this really nice victoria sponge muffin with a jam and buttercream centre.

Glad you got to speak to people that know you

That sounds delicious
M&S is another level for most foods

I'm doing a triptych. Immaculate heart, crucifixion and therese of Lisieux.

I'm glad you saw someone lr, I hope things improve.

*passes Cacoethes a tissue*

Raspberry and white chocolate muffins are my favourite.

Thanks! I stole a stack of paper towels from the bathroom XD

Ooh raspberry and white choc is a winning combo

Ooh I had forgotten about raspberry and white chocolate muffins they are also amazing. Turns out I just like muffins!

Hope it's a cold and not COVID like the psych Beckie!

Muffins in general are excellent. But NOT with bits of nut in.

Thanks jen!
Was planning to ask for a test when night staff come on

I agree tamo
I like nuts, but not in a muffin!

Good plan Beckie.

I agree Tamo nuts don't really work in muffins I think it's a texture thing, don't really want the crunch of a nut in my muffin. Plus my partner is allergic to nuts so I tend to avoid bringing them into the house which is where I mostly eat muffins unsurprisingly!

Does that mean you can't have peanut butter?

Yeah the crunch throws me off in muffins

I'd be sad if i couldn't have peanut butter

Do you have smooth or crunchy Cacoethes?
