It chucked it down here. Now I'm wearing an extra jumper. Trying to find a present for a friend now. I'm thinking nice prayer beads but I can't decide what colour.

Afternoon guys

Good luck with your phone call np

It was raining here too

Prayer beads sound like a good present

Loads of rain here earlier too. It's super sunny now though.

Does your friend have a favourite colour, Tamo?

Rainbow colours!

I'm finally home from southmead hospital.

What's everyone up to?

Need a wedding gift idea. Something inexpensive but personal.

Eek... personalised photoframe so they can put a nice wedding pic in it?

Etsy have some cheapish engraved wooden ones.

Not sure it'll arrive in time. It's on the 6th.

I live in a little town with some nice gift art shops. So it's combating the anxiety to go look.

Ah yeah time is a bit tight for online shopping then. Can anyone go with you?

Nope. No local friends at all. Mum is on holiday and dads partner is away too.

Have you been out on your own since being back home?

Maybe choose a quiet time of day to go if that would help.

Yeah. Been out once by myself and once I was dropped off and did the appointment making by myself.

Not sure when would be quiet really. It's full of retired people all the time it seems. Maybe I'll go when it's raining next.

That's good you've managed it already - hopefully it went ok before so will be alright when you go out again.

Ah yeah, that might be a good time. Even retired people don't go out in the rain.

Yeah, had a melt down the first time but managed the second time.

Ugh. Hate how stupid and ridiculous I am.

That's encouraging that you managed the second time round. It might improve again next time.

You're not stupid and ridiculous at all. Try not to beat yourself up!

True.

I have that restless leg feeling. In my arms! So weird.

Hope it passes soon Lillie.

Me too!

Bertie is demanding dinner. Which he never gets till 5 at the earliest.

They'll always try to push their luck if they can.

Yes my male was particularly persistent today. He gets some treats later because today is his birthday. I gave in at the end.

True np

Happy Birthday kitty!

Thanks Lindsay.

My cats will be 10 at some point this month but I'm not sure exactly when.

Bertie will be 1 mid to end of this month but I'm not sure when either lindsay.

I can't believe Bertie isn't one yet. It seems like you've had him for much longer.

I agree there np.

Hi everyone. I have now rewatched all the Harry Potters.

my wee niece is onto book four of harry potter and has watched the firt two films

in other news y new slipknot hoodie arrived today :-D

My sisters are into Slipknot, don't really understand why!

cos the knot are ****ing awesome :-D

I'm seeing them in January :-D

Not my cup of tea.

I like a lot of their older stuff.

I love slipknot!

coco has taste :-D

I do!! :p

I like a few songs.

Morning everyone. Too early to be awake...

Since when has Renee Zellweger been 50?!

Since her birthday :-P

I thought she was way younger than that!

Morning all. I've got to get a blood test today.

Hope it goes ok tamo.

I've had a sof a nap.

I knew someone was going to say that!

Tamo, that's what I thought too. Ick, blood test. =/

Hehe. Forgive me. I had 0 sleep last night.

Today I need to bath and wash my hair and hoover the house and put the recycling out. What's everyone else's plans?

And wash up. :-(

Similar to your plans. Just done some washing up, need to shower and put bins out later. Desperately need to hoover. Change bedding. Such a fun packed day.

Also got a physio assessment over the phone at 2:45... =/

Our days sound thrilling.

How can they do a physio assessment without looking at you?!

I'm not entirely sure! But it's apparently how they do it with Bupa and quicker to get a referral somewhere rather than going to the GP. I guess they'll just ask me a lot of questions... Other people I've talked to at work say it's been ok, just got to be really clear about symptoms.

Weirdly the physio man who's going to ring me has the same name as one of the really posh people on Made In Chelsea so I'm trying not to believe that it's actually the same person.

I couldn't name anyone on that show! But yes, hope not.

Bertie keeps licking my porridge bowl. Naughty cat.

I can, unfortunately. He's one of the worst of them too but I'm sure it's not the same person, heh. Just... mind's going a bit haywire with it all. =/

Naughty Bertie.
