Well that's slightly less than Crookshanks demanding to be fed 4 times a day!

I'm glad it went well with your CC.

I saw my CPN. I mostly just cried.

Cacoethes 02-04-2025 07:01 PM

Just slightly!

Thank you :)

I'm looking after S now. L has gone to rugby. I'm praying he stays settled!

Was it a helpful appointment at least?
I know your cpn can be hit and miss

one_step_closer 02-04-2025 07:04 PM

Fingers crossed. When does L get back?

It was good to get things out but he didn't have any new suggestions or things that I feel able to do.

Cacoethes 02-04-2025 07:19 PM

Rugby finishes at 9. It's about a 20 min drive.
I'm hoping S will be in bed by the time she's back, but he gets separation anxiety so will probably make himself stay awake until she's home.

That's a shame. Im glad you felt able to tell him what was going on though

tamobhuuta 02-04-2025 10:12 PM

Hugs if wanted osc.

I hope S stayed settled Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 02-04-2025 10:13 PM

Thanks tamo!
He did and was all showered and in bed by 8pm.
I successfully parented! XD

How are you doing?

Cacoethes 03-04-2025 07:54 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 03-04-2025 01:53 PM

Afternoon everyone.

How are you today, Beckie?

Cacoethes 03-04-2025 02:43 PM

Hey lindsay
I'm ok. Exhausted! Just got back

How are you?

not_so_insig 03-04-2025 03:14 PM

Afternoon all. I have had a busy day so far. Amongst other things I put my washing on the communal line and been for a walk to the park. Still got my rotten cold so it was challenging but I managed it :-).

one_step_closer 03-04-2025 05:56 PM

How was your day, Beckie? Are you able to take it easy for the rest of the day?

Well done, Dawn. It's hard doing things when you feel unwell.

I'm just my usual.

Cacoethes 03-04-2025 06:51 PM

It was a lot of driving! The journey was only just over an hour, but there was a LOT of traffic and roadworks. It was a fun day though :-D
I can indeed take it easy for the rest of the day. That was my only thing. Put some washing on and swept the kitchen and tidied a bit, but that's it :)

Have you been up to much lindsay?

not_so_insig 04-04-2025 06:18 AM

Morning all.

Cacoethes 04-04-2025 07:50 AM

Morning!

not_so_insig 04-04-2025 01:24 PM

Afternoon all. Quiet in here today.

How is everyone? I have done several loads of laundry, put the majority of my bedding on the line and took it off as it was dry. Ran out of pegs in the end.

one_step_closer 04-04-2025 01:36 PM

Afternoon everyone.

How are your days going so far?

You've been doing lots of housework, Dawn!

Cacoethes 04-04-2025 01:43 PM

Not too bad thanks. I am tired!
Had to rush out because jas was 'ill' today. I was meant to do school pick up and then look after her for the night while mum is away.
Turns out, she was not ill and she wanted to avoid something at school :eyeroll:
But I had to rush out because mum had to leave to get a train and it takes an hour to get here.
So I took her to school late, cleaned the kitchen and now just waiting for pick up time, which is currently unconfirmed. Also need to go to a supermarket to get dinner stuff.

How are you lindsay? Up to much?

one_step_closer 04-04-2025 01:46 PM

At least Jas was honest with you I suppose. How are you going to occupy yourself until pick up time?

I've failed at a goal I set myself but have washed my hair.

not_so_insig 04-04-2025 01:52 PM

I am feeling much better cold wise today Lindsay. Think I am over the worse of it. Well done for washing your hair that takes effort.

Cacoethes 04-04-2025 01:53 PM

Suppose so!
I was going to walk to the co op to get dinner stuff, but not sure if I'll have time to get there and back and not have a time crisis! And co op is expensive, so I'll just go to aldi either before or after pick up time.

I wouldn't say you've failed! Sometimes we just don't do things we set out to do, and that's ok! I do it on a daily basis XD
Well done for your hair wash :)

one_step_closer 04-04-2025 02:15 PM

That's good, Dawn.

I always say it but we need Bernard's watch!

Cacoethes 04-04-2025 02:21 PM

We really do! That would be so useful for so many things!

one_step_closer 04-04-2025 06:28 PM

How is everyone this evening? Liking the lighter nights or not?

Cacoethes 04-04-2025 07:01 PM

I'm really tired. The lighter evenings are quite nice so far!
How about you?

Cacoethes 05-04-2025 06:51 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 05-04-2025 01:14 PM

Afternoon everyone.

You were up early, Beckie. Are you busy today?

Cacoethes 05-04-2025 06:31 PM

Yeah. I stayed over at my mums to look after jas. Didn't sleep well and was up early!
Was quite busy! We came to mine to play some Mario kart on the Wii (i dominated!) And then went to a burger place and then me and jas went to Gravity (the massive trampolining place) then I took jas home. Was a lot of driving! Just got back and had a shower. Waiting for L to get back from her dad's.

How are you?

not_so_insig 06-04-2025 11:48 AM

Morning all.

not_so_insig 06-04-2025 12:22 PM

Where art thou Beckie and Lindsay? Hope you're both ok and just enjoying the sunshine.

one_step_closer 06-04-2025 01:10 PM

Afternoon, Dawn. I'm just quite slow. How are you today?

Cacoethes 06-04-2025 02:32 PM

I am here! Just been busy today.
Cleaned out Colin Robinson and the piggos
Also went to get more moss for Colin Robinson and then pets at home to look at fish. Then lidl to do a little shop.

How are you Dawn?

Up to much today lindsay?

Elmer 06-04-2025 02:49 PM

Ehehe little Lidl

Cacoethes 06-04-2025 03:00 PM

Hi Lio!
I was going to type 'lidl lidl' shop but wasn't sure if anyone would pick up on it XD

Elmer 06-04-2025 04:27 PM

Hi! It was an excellent joke

Sounds like you've all got lots on!

My cat who is on a prescription diet seems to have decided he doesn't like one of the two flavours the prescription food comes in :wow:

Cacoethes 06-04-2025 04:38 PM

Thank you! I'm glad you picked up on it!

Oh dear! I've never owned a cat, but I hear they are generally fussy.
Hopefully he doesn't go off the one he still likes :ermm:

one_step_closer 06-04-2025 06:30 PM

I also love the little Lidl! Is that your tasks done for the day, Beckie?

Oh no, Lio! Does he have to stick to the prescription diet forever? I don't have that sort of problem with my cat, he will eat absolutely anything.

I managed some small things but not everything that needed done.

Cacoethes 06-04-2025 06:47 PM

I'm glad you appreciate it also lindsay! :-D
Yep that is everything!
S is back so will be chill time when he's gone off to bed

Well done for managing some things :)

one_step_closer 06-04-2025 06:48 PM

Thank you.

I hope you have a nice relaxing evening.

Cacoethes 06-04-2025 07:25 PM

Thank you!
Hope you do too :)

We're going to get the Wii fit out and do some snowboarding and bowling XD

Cacoethes 07-04-2025 09:40 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 07-04-2025 02:34 PM

Afternoon, Beckie. How are you? Did you win all the games last night?

Cacoethes 07-04-2025 05:41 PM

Hey lindsay! I'm ok thanks.
I did indeed win all the games! :-D

How are you? Been up to much today?

one_step_closer 07-04-2025 05:50 PM

You win every single game you try even if you've not played it before, you should put that on your CV!

I'm my usual but I did manage more outside things today.

Cacoethes 07-04-2025 06:06 PM

I should! Excellent idea! :-D

Well done!

one_step_closer 07-04-2025 06:59 PM

Thank you.

What are you doing with the rest of the day?

Cacoethes 07-04-2025 07:02 PM

Nothing really!
I went out this morning to get my meds, L's meds and post a card. And went out again a minute ago to go to asda.
The rest of the day has been just chilling!
S has gone to bed now, so we'll have dinner at some point and stick on GoT.
Oh, I do need to sort my meds though!

How about you?

not_so_insig 07-04-2025 07:09 PM

Evening all. I had tesco today plus amazon. Nothing interesting in my amazon order just clothes pegs, a charging cable for my phone plus a pet loss sympathy card for my friend who lost their dog recently. Tesco wasn't very interesting except for a creme egg trifle. Oh and some wine glasses because I realised I haven't got a matching pair of glasses. My next door neighbour said that we must have wine on one of her days off in the summer (she works long hours).

Cacoethes 08-04-2025 08:04 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 08-04-2025 11:10 AM

Morning, Beckie. How are you today?

Is RYL slow for anyone else? It might just be because I'm using my MacBook. I'm guessing it's maybe ok for people who use their phone.

Cacoethes 08-04-2025 11:50 AM

I'm ok thanks. Had the dentist this morning, which actually wasn't too bad.

It's slow for me too. Hopefully it'll sort itself out! Usually does

How are you?
