Well done on chores and finding some positives on a difficult day.

long road 05-09-2024 12:34 AM

Thanks it's been hard finding the positives lately as there have been a lot of negatives.

Should really be trying to sleep but my mind is all over the place. Hope you can get some rest soon.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 12:39 AM

I feel ya!

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 08:05 AM

Morning everyone!

long road 05-09-2024 11:05 AM

Morning!

I didn't sleep until sometime after 3:30am so have only been awake half an hour.

How are you this morning Beckie?

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 11:11 AM

Same here Jen.

Morning all.

long road 05-09-2024 11:23 AM

Morning Dawn,

Hope you aren't too tired this morning. Any plans for the day?

tamobhuuta 05-09-2024 11:26 AM

Morning all x

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 11:39 AM

I am going out for my tea but other than that I have no plans other than cleaning my flat Jen.

long road 05-09-2024 11:55 AM

Morning Tamo! How are you today?

Any idea what food you are having when you go out Dawn?

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 12:30 PM

Not really. I am not sure what's on the menu as it's been changed since I last went there.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 12:32 PM

Where is it you're going? Is it a chain or somewhere independent?

I'm just home for my lunch

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 12:36 PM

Hey guys

I'm ok thanks
Went into town this morning for a wax and got some stuff from asda. Bus back and cleaned the kitchen, put washing on, made jammie dodger blondies, will make tuna pasta bake also. And will put some washing away in a minute. And also do a bit of general tidying.

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 12:38 PM

It's a chain Beth. Had a look at the menu online and can't quite decide. The jacket potato is the favourite atm.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 12:45 PM

Ooh what's on it?

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 01:03 PM

Chilli

one_step_closer 05-09-2024 01:31 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Hope your days are going ok so far.

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 02:51 PM

Hey everyone
I think I've got everything done today

How are you lindsay?

long road 05-09-2024 02:56 PM

I ended up having a nap. Just woke up.

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 02:58 PM

Feeling any better for the nap?

long road 05-09-2024 04:28 PM

Not really. Am proper out of it today.hiw is everyone else?

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 04:30 PM

That isn't good! :(
Hopefully tomorrow will be better

I'm ok. Got quite a bit done today

long road 05-09-2024 04:32 PM

Fingers crossed. Hoping if I can rest and avoid a seizure then I might break the cycle and start to feel better again.

Well done for your tasks.

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 04:41 PM

Fingers crossed for you jen!

Thanks :)

not_so_insig 05-09-2024 04:54 PM

I am back from the pub. I had the jacket potato with chilli in the end. Was nice.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 05:42 PM

Oh yay, I'm glad It was nice

one_step_closer 05-09-2024 06:12 PM

Well done with what you've done, Beckie.

I hope you have a seizure free day/night, Jen.

Glad you enjoyed your food, Dawn.

How is your day going, Beth?

long road 05-09-2024 06:29 PM

Just had a roast dinner. Perfect food for a rainy day like today. Eating seems to have given me a little bit of extra energy. Not much but enough I can watch TV on my laptop.

Glad you enjoyed your food Dawn.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 06:30 PM

My day is okay, got back from work, cleaned a bit of the carpet (I've got the whole room to do with the machine) and I have therapy at 7.

They want to change our early shifts from 7:45am to 7:30am, with a big task to do before 7:45.

Going to try get some of the wallpapering done afterwards, I was meant to do it the past 3 weekends.

one_step_closer 05-09-2024 06:47 PM

What are you watching on TV at the moment, Jen?

Is the shift change doable, Beth? I hope therapy goes ok.

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 06:56 PM

Definitely a good roast dinner day jen

I hope therapy is helpful beth
Shift changes are annoying
How're you feeling about it?

Thanks lindsay!

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 06:58 PM

I struggle with being awake enough when I'm there for a 7:45 start!

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 07:04 PM

Not surprised! That is an early start!

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 08:04 PM

It's super rubbish in winter, because the office is in the middle of the building so it's dark when I get there, dark when I leave and I get no daylight :(

Therapy was hard so I'm going to make hot chocolate and get cosy.

long road 05-09-2024 08:11 PM

Hot chocolate and getting cosy sounds like a good plan Beth.

I got peckish so I am having some fruit toast.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 09:09 PM

Ooh that sounds perfect with the weather!

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 09:25 PM

Winter is so depressing
I had the same issue working in a care home

Sounds like a good plan beth. Self care ftw!

Fruit toooassstt! I made my special tuna pasta todah

long road 05-09-2024 09:41 PM

Tuna pasta bake ftw!

The fruit toast was so good.

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 09:43 PM

It's a secret recipe that L is dying to know, because my pasta is so good! But i will never tell!

Fruit toast never disappoints!

long road 05-09-2024 09:45 PM

Just tell her the secret is love XD

It never does.

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 10:04 PM

I got 2 pieces of the wallpaper up, another block of the carpet cleaned and the skirting boards painted.

long road 05-09-2024 10:12 PM

Well done Beth! What pattern/ colour is the wallpaper?

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 10:21 PM

It's this :) on the bottom half of the wall, and the top is really pale pink.

long road 05-09-2024 10:22 PM

I like it beautiful and peaceful colours

Cacoethes 05-09-2024 10:57 PM

Definitely telling her that next time she asks jen XD

Well done beth!
That is an awesome wallpaper!

Ahimsa 05-09-2024 11:21 PM

Thank you :) This is my hallway. If I think about it when this is done I'll have done loads on the house this summer/autumn! (Since June)

- Replaced all 9 doors (which had to be varnished twice on each side, so I had to do 36 coats!)
- Redecorated and retiled a bathroom
- Decorated the hallway by the door and by the bedrooms

long road 05-09-2024 11:56 PM

By the end you will be a DIY master!

Cacoethes 06-09-2024 07:27 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 06-09-2024 10:07 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 06-09-2024 10:17 AM

I'm ok thanks.
