Hello all. I have done half my cleaning. I am not sure if i will do the floors as it's very hot here. If not then I will have very little to do. Atm I am sitting in front of a fan. The floors will get done tomorrow if I don't do them today.

one_step_closer 24-04-2025 06:18 PM

Is she a permanent type psychiatrist or a locum one? Most if not all of the psychs at my CMHT are locums. I remember a very long time ago when most psychiatrists were permanent and didn't move on quickly.

Did you make it to your group, Dawn?

tamobhuuta 24-04-2025 06:23 PM

Did you cool down insig?

I'm glad things were a little better today osc.

That's a shame Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 24-04-2025 06:34 PM

Not actually sure lindsay
They've mostly been locums for the last several years
Locums get paid more, which is probably why

not_so_insig 24-04-2025 07:13 PM

Yes i managed to make it to my group Lindsay. Fortunately my physical health condition calmed down enough that I was able to sit through the whole meeting.

Yes I am slightly cooler now tamobhuuta and I have done the majority of my flat's floors. Having a rest now as obviously I don't want to walk on freshly mopped floors.

Cacoethes 25-04-2025 07:46 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 25-04-2025 09:16 AM

Morning all.

one_step_closer 25-04-2025 02:08 PM

Afternoon.

How are you Beckie and Dawn?

Cacoethes 25-04-2025 04:11 PM

I'm having a bad day
But at work. So must continue on

How are you?

not_so_insig 25-04-2025 04:24 PM

I am having a bad day too.

Elmer 25-04-2025 05:15 PM

Afternoon/evening :)

Sorry to hear about your bad days Beckie and Dawn - I read your RVs and am sending internet hugs if they are wanted <3

How are you doing Lindsay?

I found a vegan Easter egg for half price at Tesco today, which has improved my day significantly

Ahimsa 25-04-2025 05:22 PM

Hey all,

Hope work is doing okay Beckie?

I'm sorry people are having a hard day today :(

I'm just home from work, it's been a LONG one, starting with the banking being about £380 out which I had to find where the error was at 7:30am, which is a gross time of day to be doing maths! I'm working this weekend too, boo! (I work 1 in 4)

Hey Elmer, how're you? Yay for half price chocolate!

one_step_closer 25-04-2025 05:54 PM

Sorry you're having bad days, Beckie and Dawn. I hope things get better soon.

That is a win, Lio! I hope you enjoy your treat.

Eww, what an extra awful start to the morning Beth! Do you have the rest of the day to yourself? I hope your working weekend goes as well as possible.

I'm slightly a mess.

Ahimsa 25-04-2025 05:55 PM

Yeah I'm home now, I was thinking of going to Asda to get pizza!

A mess? Do you want to talk about it?

one_step_closer 25-04-2025 06:03 PM

Pizza sounds good. Would you get one of their freshly prepared ones?

It's ok. I'm just distressed and then making it worse by being awful to myself for the reactions I have to being distressed.

tamobhuuta 25-04-2025 07:19 PM

Hugs where wanted x

Cacoethes 26-04-2025 08:13 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 26-04-2025 12:51 PM

Afternoon all. I am still not so great today but slightly better than yesterday. Currently I am watching Doctor Who.

one_step_closer 26-04-2025 02:13 PM

Hi everyone. How are your days going?

Cacoethes 26-04-2025 02:49 PM

I'm at work which is meh.

How are you guys?

not_so_insig 26-04-2025 02:50 PM

I am not so good. But I watched Doctor Who and Casualty. Didn't enjoy them for different reasons. Also washed and dried my hair. Put some makeup on including some lip stain.

tamobhuuta 26-04-2025 02:57 PM

Hi guys, I'm just finishing my breakfast!

one_step_closer 26-04-2025 05:25 PM

When do you finish work, Beckie? I hope people are being nice at least.

Well done with what you've managed, Dawn.

Kind of good morning to you then, Tamo!

Cacoethes 27-04-2025 09:56 AM

I finished at 9pm lindsay.

Morning everyone!
Audit day today. I'm in from 4pm-12am
Though last time I didn't leave until 3:30am. So we'll see!

one_step_closer 27-04-2025 12:36 PM

That sounds like hell to me, Beckie! You got on ok the last time though didn't you?

Cacoethes 27-04-2025 12:41 PM

Yeah, I quite enjoyed it last time!
But still not feeling 100% so idk

How are you?

Ahimsa 27-04-2025 12:47 PM

How is everyone's Sundays going?

Hope the audit isn't too bad Beckie!

one_step_closer 27-04-2025 12:49 PM

I hope it goes well, Beckie. Are you doing much before work?

Hi, Beth. How are you?

I'm about to have lunch but I only have tomato soup in which doesn't fill me up for long.

Ahimsa 27-04-2025 01:03 PM

Hey OSC, have you got any bread or anything to go with the soup?

I'm just on my lunch break now as I'm working this weekend, it's been one hell of a morning! Think we had 8 emergencies at the same time (and none were ones we could ask to come later)

Cacoethes 27-04-2025 01:09 PM

Thanks guys!

I went to asda and poundland for some bits. Just had lunch.
Now in waiting mode!

That sounds hectic after beth! Hopefully the rest of the day is more settled!

Ahimsa 27-04-2025 01:12 PM

Oh it was, we ran out of space on the car park and seats in reception. Emotionally draining too.

We had a meerkat in yesterday though and it's having surgery tomorrow (I'm off tomorrow from working the weekend. Off from this job anyway!)

Did you get anything good from Poundland/Asda?

Cacoethes 27-04-2025 01:55 PM

Jeez! That does sound awful!

A meerkat!!!

Mostly caffeine and sugary things to get me through the audit XD
And salad and herbs for the piggos

one_step_closer 27-04-2025 05:26 PM

I didn't have any bread but had some time to go to Aldi for some things so got a sandwich.

That sounds very stressful, Beth.

Hope you're getting on ok so far, Beckie.

Ahimsa 27-04-2025 05:58 PM

Yay for sandwich - what did you choose?

The afternoon was pretty sad with a freak accident, and then someone called as they'd found a snake in their garden so that brought that in - and it launched itself at me and the nurse!!

Then drove past a really bad car crash on my way home.

Very glad to be home for a few hours now!

one_step_closer 27-04-2025 06:04 PM

Oh wow, so intense. I don't think I could have dealt with all that. Are you ok? What are you doing with your time at home?

I got a cheese ploughman's sandwich. It said that it included pickles but I thought all cheese ploughman sandwiches included pickles.

I thought they did too? Maybe they were just listing everything they'd added?

I'm only home until 8, I need to go to the quiz then. I've just had some toast so I'm thinking get some of the washing up done, kitchen cleaned and some of the washing away maybe.

tamobhuuta 27-04-2025 07:23 PM

Hi guys. I don't eat real ploughman's because meat but I wouldn't expect pickles. But seems that's just me.

Hectic days! Well done everyone.

I got up at the slightly more sensible time of 11am, just been plodding along.

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 03:01 AM

Just got home. So morning everyone, I guess! XD

not_so_insig 28-04-2025 12:00 PM

Morning all. I eventually received my post having had none all last week. I suspect that Royal Mail is only delivering twice a week again as i had a load of post. Including 2 things that were posted nearly a week ago.

tamobhuuta 28-04-2025 01:40 PM

Afternoon all.

I'm glad you finally got your post insig.

I hope you got some decent sleep Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 01:42 PM

I got about 3 hours of broken sleep XD

How are you both?

one_step_closer 28-04-2025 02:17 PM

Afternoon everyone. How are your days going so far?

I hope you can get some proper rest soon, Beckie.

not_so_insig 28-04-2025 03:07 PM

I am ok thanks. Wrote 14 postcards. Posted them all now. 4 are going to Germany. I like getting German addresses because they usually arrive quickly. I use my label printer which makes writing postcards easier for me as I don't have to write the addresses. Just the postcrossing ID and the message. Oh and the stamps which takes up half the room on the card (thanks Royal Mail!).

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 03:07 PM

Hey lindsay!
How are you?

I've had a pretty good day thanks
Got the car washed, picked up meds, got L an iced caramel latte and met her for her break, then made brownies and did all my morning things and wrapped L's birthday present!
Just need to put my meds in the boxes now.

Ahimsa 28-04-2025 03:38 PM

Hey everyone,

That's so productive Beckie! I'm off work today from working the weekend, so I've been into town to get some leaving gifts for my friend (her last day is tomorrow) and a birthday present for my brother.

I'm just home now so I've put a wash on and going to do the washing up before my pub shift at 5.

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 03:47 PM

Meds have been put in boxes and I also organised our meds cupboard XD

Was town busy beth?
When I went into my local town, everyone was out because of the lovely weather!

Ahimsa 28-04-2025 03:51 PM

Busyish? I just went to a retail park though - I was at least 10th in the queue, in the 2 shops I went to though?

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 04:12 PM

That does sound quite busy!

one_step_closer 28-04-2025 05:35 PM

You must have so many postcards by now, Dawn.

So much productivity with so little sleep, Beckie! Why did it take so long for your car to be cleaned?

How are you with buying gifts for people, Beth? Do you find it hard to decide on something or not?

I went to The Works with my friend yet again because they had more new fidgets. I love getting new fidgets!

Cacoethes 28-04-2025 05:38 PM

It was an inside and outside clean!
Very thorough! They did a very good job. Worth the wait :-D

Glad you had a nice time lindsay!
