It's slow for me too Lindsay. Wasn't sure if it was my connection.

I have had a long sleep. Am hoping that the communal line is free so I can test my new pegs! Atm the washing is in the machine. But on the flip side my cold and blister are much better. I can walk near normally today instead of hobbling about.

Ryl seems to be normal for me now. Oh and i managed to find enough space on the communal line for my washing.

Yeah it's back to its usual speed for me now too.

Did you have to get something horrible done at the dentist, Beckie? I'm going on Thursday to get a filling.

I hope you get your washing dry, Dawn. Are they fancy pegs you've got?

I was at the colouring group, I felt a bit better there than I did last week.

No they're plain wooden ones Lindsay. They came in a peg bag so I hooked the peg beg on my new smalls peg thing. They're dry now so I can hopefully use the washing line tomorrow.

Eta: this is my new smalls thing. I put my knickers and a pair of socks on it before as well as hooking my new peg bag.

Same here!

Nope, thankfully! Just a check up.
I could do with a crown or a filling, but a crown would be £375 and a filling would be £75!!! But she said if im not having any pain or anything, then it's not essential.

Good luck with your filling! Dentists are never a pleasant experience. You should treat yourself afterwards!

I'm glad you felt a bit better lindsay

I am glad you got on better than last week Lindsay. Sorry I missed it before.

Morning everyone

Morning all. I am bloody boiling here.

Morning (just!)!

How are you both? I hope you cool down soon Dawn - it's chilly here, I'll send you some cold air

I'm working on my project/dissertation, or I should be :eyeroll:

I am much better today thanks Lio. I am walking near normally now and so far i have had only one sneezing fit. So it's probably safe to say that I am nearly over my cold.

I'm ok thanks. Tired!
It's warm in the sun here, but chilly in the shade!

Go Lio go!!!

Afternoon everyone.

It's a mix of sunny and a bit dull here. I had to wear my hoodie when I went out.

That's good that you're getting better, Dawn.

Lio, you always seem to be in that situation! Is it a long term dissertation you're doing? I got so bored of mine because of the length of time I had to work on it.

Are you busy today, Beckie?

Glad you are feeling better Dawn :)

Thank you for the encouragement Beckie!

Hi Lindsay :) How are you? So I'm supposed to have been working on it for quite a long time, it's the final part of my degree and I'd really like to do well on it but I've been procrastinating for months now. My mentor suggested setting tiny goals of like five minutes at a time so that's what I've been trying today

It's supposed to get quite warm over the next few days I think, so that'll be interesting

Not particularly busy.
I fed Colin Robinson this morning and cleaned out the piggos. Then me and L went for lunch and I showered when we got back. That's about it!

How are you?

Ninja Beckie! Sounds like you're having a nice relaxed day :)

If I ever go back on Facebook will there be pictures of Colin Robinson to stalk?

I tried sitting outside on my bench but it was far too hot. So I have come indoors now. Have to brave the sun as it's bin day tomorrow and have to put the recycling box out. It's ordinary bin day tomorrow so I moved the ordinary bin to the collection point before. Time for a drink methinks.

It has been nice lio!

Yes there will Lio! Are you on insta anymore than FB? I could post a couple of pics on there if you are!

Exciting! I am generally more on IG than FB, currently having a break from both but I'd like to see pictures when I do go back on!

I'll post some on IG then for when you return! :-D

L has gone to pick S up from holiday club. I may nap. Been so tired lately!

You can do it, Lio! I think it takes getting in some sort of routine about when you work on it but that can be hard to get started and maintain. I like the idea of putting chocolate bars in between pages but that only really works if you're reading something.

Did you have a nap, Beckie?

Definitely stay hydrated, Dawn.

I was out sitting for a bit and it alternated between being really hot and then there was quite a cold wind.

Thanks Lindsay. I did indeed have a drink. I also put the recycling box out plus my blue bag. Also hoovered the communal area outside my flat and briefly sat outside again. Just got a few chores to do including washing my hair and drying it.

Morning everyone
I have work today. Ughhhhh

Morning, Beckie. Nooooo! Days off never last. I hope you get on ok.

Thank you!

I hope your day goes ok. I know you're going to find it difficult. Sending love <3

Hello all. I have the hearing voices group today so I won't be around much this afternoon. Then as it's a Thursday I will be doing my cleaning so I will be busy. I have already done some cleaning which I won't bore you with. Oh and I managed to get a communal line.

Thank you, Beckie.

I hope you have a good day, Dawn.

Thanks Lindsay:-)

Work isn't as chaotic as expected. Actually been pretty chill. Idk why

Hope everyone is getting on ok

Afternoon (evening?) All

I hope you didn't jinx things by saying that, Beckie!

Hi Tamo, how are things with you?

I kinda did jinx things.
It wasn't chaotic but turned into an awful day.
More info in RV. Not appropriate for here.

Hope everyone had a decent day

Hey night owls! (and non UK RYLers!)

Hey beth!
How're you doing?

Morning everyone

Morning! How are you? Are you working today?

Morning Lio
I'm ok thanks. I am indeed working :(
Just arrived and it is very busy.

How are you?

Hope everyone's doing okay? :)

Thanks beth
Hope you are too!

I hope you have a better day today Beckie, I know yesterday was tough. People are arseholes sometimes.

Hi Beth! Hope you are OK.

I'm alright thanks, I'm having a long day in the city due to some very inconveniently spaced out medical appointments

Afternoon everyone.

I hope your day goes ok, Beckie.

That sounds a bit annoying, Lio. Are there things you can do in between appointments?

Hi, Beth. Hope you're alright.

Afternoon all. Apart from being in pain due to being bitten i am ok. Think I am over my cold now.

Oh no, Dawn! One thing after the other! What bit you? Are you ok?

I am not sure what bit me Lindsay. Probably a fly or a mosquito. I was in a lot of pain last night but I am just in discomfort now.

Thanks both <3
Going OK so far. Busy but OK.

Inconveniently spaced appointments are the worst!

Hope everyone's day's go ok

Do you need to put some sort of cream on the bite, Dawn?

What time do you finish, Beckie?

I'm very glad to be home, it's been a LONG week

Have you been really busy with work, Beth? Or something else? Are you able to spend some time doing things that you like over the weekend?

Actual work is a bit of a disaster at the moment, (I sent an email of "concerns and things that are clinically unsafe", that I've seen - it's 1000 words long! I've got a phone call about it next week but wanted to send the info ahead) - but I'm also doing some bar shifts at the moment at the pub I read the quiz at, after my actual job shifts so I can try save up for therapy.

I'm not doing any work things this weekend though!


How're you OSC?

Oh wow, that doesn't sound good at all. I'm glad you have some time to yourself this weekend.

I'm struggling but trying to keep going.

I'm sorry you're struggling, have you got nice things to distract you this evening?
