Good stuff, Beckie. When do you finish?

Glad you managed to nap, Jen. Are you watching any more of the Olympics today?

I love a good shopping result!

Good you managed a nap jen!

Was definitely not bored today!

What did you get tamo?

I finished at 6pm.
Just waiting for L.
According to maps, there has been a crash on the M11, in addition to the road closure that was already there :crazy: so she might be a while

Oh no, I hope it's not too serious. Hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you sitting inside somewhere while you wait?

I got a board from hobbycraft to put ideas for a big canvas on. I got a dress and handbag from tk maxx, also birthday cards because I have 3 birthdays in August.

Have you got home yet Cacoethes?

How are you osc?

She arrived shortly after I posted! She just caught the end of it I think.
I'm home now :)
Exhausted does not cover it! And my feet are killing me

Sounds like a good haul tamo!

Hopefully you sleep well tonight Cacoethes!

I'm sure I will!

Good morning everybody.

Morning tamo
How are you?

Tired. I've been up since 6 because my back was hurting. How are you?

Oh no! Back pain is awful.
Is it easing up at all?

I am not really ok.
Having a nightmare with the getting to work issue. Access to work won't review my case early because I've already started my job. And they're still working on cases from January! So I'm super stressed.

That is ridiculous!

It is. I literally begged him to reconsider, while being mostly unable to talk through tears.
But no

Hi everyone.

So sorry that things are so problematic, Beckie.

I'm sore too, Tamo. Got a new mattress yesterday. I hope your pain eases soon.

Afternoon all. I slept for ages after staying up to watch yesterday's dressage. It was good.



Showjumping this afternoon but I will watch it after I have had my tesco shopping order. 2 substitutions and 0 unavailable items.

Glad you enjoyed it, Dawn. Hope your Tesco order arrives ok and you get to enjoy more of the horsey action.

Thanks Lindsay. I seem to be getting a lot of new drivers who have difficulty finding my address. Sat nav shows up as a lane which isn't in my address then takes you into a car park. People think that the sheltered accommodation opposite is the correct building whereas I am a flat in a much smaller building. Then the odd numbers are the first block whereas I am an even number. The amount of times people either turn around or go to the sheltered accommodation when getting deliveries is ridiculous.

Hi lindsay and Dawn

It is problematic.
Just feel like life is throwing a ton of **** at me right now and I'm expecting more bad things.

I understand that feeling, Beckie. I really hope life does not throw anything else your way because that is just completely unfair. Keep going, hopefully you will keep getting closer to things being sorted out or at least not so stressful.

I think my postcode shows a different street name in sat navs so sometimes people get confused by that.

Thanks lindsay <3

Good morning.

Morning all. I have cpn appointment today, boo. Not looking forward to it.

I hope it's better than expected insig. A said he would ring me - at some point...

Thanks tamobhuuta.

Hi everyone.

I hope your appointment goes well, Dawn.

I hope A does phone you Tamo and it's useful.

How are you doing today Lindsay? Thanks.

Still really struggling. Don't know why. I'm going to the colouring group today though, just hope I don't get upset or start dissociating.

I hope you enjoy your colouring group and find it helpful osc. Will you see your friend there?

Sorry you're not so great today but I hope that the group is at the very least bearable.

Thank you both. Yes, I meet my friend at the bus stop and we go there together. I'm struggling generally so it was hard and then a little boy stole my sensory toy and I didn't want to ask for it back so I felt quite anxious without it.

How is everyone getting on?

Sorry you lost your toy osc. Can you get a new one? A better one!

Morning everyone
At work again!

Morning Cacoethes, how's work going?

Morning everyone.

I have two of the same sensory toys at home, it's just that in the moment I really needed it.

When are you working till today, Beckie?

How are you today, Tamo?

Afternoon all. I am going wild swimming today. Need to brush my hair first. Am already in my swimming costume. I had a postcard from Germany this morning and what appears to be my stickers.

It's horrible you didn't have one when you needed it but I'm glad you have others.

I'm ok. We're pausing my therapy.

Nice day insig!

Just working until 6pm today
It's going ok. I did cry though. Sad times

Hope everyone has a good day

Hugs if wanted Cacoethes.

Thank you tamo <3

I am back from wild swimming. A dog come up to me in the water. He just wanted a fuss. Apparently the dog thought I needed rescuing according to its owner.

What a brave doggie.

Dogs can do such amazing things. Did anyone watch that TV show about some dogs and their jobs?

I didn't lindsay, but dogs are indeed incredible!
Some of them can sniff out cancer!

Morning everyone

Morning all. I have been and collected my bin. Luckily whilst I was there the recycling bin men were coming so I was able to get my recycling box and paper bag straight after it was emptied. My neighbour came out so I had a brief chat with her.

Need to have a shower and get dressed.

Morning guys.

Morning! Or afternoon now.
I'm at the beach with L and S. Lovely day!
We go to a little known beach in Norfolk. It's very quiet, even now in the height of the summer holidays! And there's toilets, a fish and chip shop and a shop selling locally made ice cream in nice flavours like stem ginger!
Couple of hours away but worth it!

Hi everyone.

That sounds perfect, Beckie.

Sounds lovely Cacoethes.

Hi osc, how are you?
