I was eating dinner and dealing with a soggy, and slightly unhappy, cat.

Back now!

Beckie must be in bed by now.

Did you find anything to watch on iPlayer?

long road 18-06-2023 09:28 PM

Poor soggy cat. Being soggy is the worst.

How was dinner?

Nope nothing to watch have come to bed as my brain is gone. Don't want to rest or sleep but probably have to and I am unhappy about this

nonperson 18-06-2023 09:36 PM

He hates being wet.

Dinner was good! Very tasty.

Well, you may be unhappy about it but it sounds like it's what you need to do right now.

long road 18-06-2023 09:48 PM

I am trying to accept this. And not get too silly. And confuzzled.

Night NP xx

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 06:22 AM

Morning everyone!

*picks up imaginary bins*

long road 19-06-2023 08:40 AM

Morning!
Sorry for making an imaginary mess. I was feeling extra sily and had the zoomies last night.

How are you this morning?

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 08:51 AM

Morning!
It's ok. Zoomies can do that!

I am very much not ok.
But we carry on!

How are you?

long road 19-06-2023 09:02 AM

Is ther anything you can do that might help with carrying on?

I am not sure how I am yet. In a bit of pain and brain isn't fully in gear

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 09:06 AM

Nah. Just got to get on with it.

Coffee and painkillers?

long road 19-06-2023 09:17 AM

I hope work is manageable.

My mouth is killer dry from taking my strong painkillers last night so might have to pass on coffee :( Breakfast and the painkillers does sound a good idea though.

First step get out of bed.

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 09:32 AM

Thanks :)

Take your time! Can't rush these things when you're not feeling 100%

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 10:15 AM

Morning guys, sorry you're not feeling great. I hope things improve.

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 10:20 AM

Morning tamo
Thank you

Any plans for today?

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 10:24 AM

I've had a hairwash, after a cup of tea I'm going to sort out meds for the week. Then of course watching doctors at 1.45pm! What about you?

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 10:27 AM

I have work today.
Went to aldi this morning.
Nothing exciting!

long road 19-06-2023 11:00 AM

Thanks Tamo.

I have had breakfast,.taken my meds, had a shower and got dressed. Now resting for a little bit before heading outside. Pain got better as I got up and started moving about so haven't taken any painkillers yet.

And those few activities took an hour and a half so definitely not rushing!

When does your shift start Beckie?

I hope today's Doctors episode is an exciting one Tamo!

not_so_insig 19-06-2023 11:59 AM

tamobhuuta there's no Doctors on next Monday. I think that it's starting it's summer break. Animal Park is on then next month is Wimbledon.

Afternoon all. I have stomach ache and my mh still isn't good.

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 12:30 PM

Love and good wishes for today for anyone who is struggling.

My day so far has been nearly falling for an Evri text scam. Getting too hot going to the chemist. Extra hot and tired washing my hair. Every time I sneeze I feel really cold. Weird. Last night I bought snacks from ALL the places so have spent some time attempting to cancel as much as possible.

long road 19-06-2023 01:11 PM

Sorry to hear you are struggling still Dawn.

Glad you managed not to fall for the scam in the end Lindsay. Hope you are having a well deserved rest after getting hot and stressed out. And that you feel better soon.

I am forcing myself to watch the episode of my show where the main character was falsely accused. Trying to get over being unsettled about it becaus eIndo enjoy the show and I think watching the episode will help with that.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 01:35 PM

I hope work is OK Cacoethes.

I'm glad the pain is better LR. Don't distress yourself with TV!

Sorry you're not feeling good insig.

I hope things cool down so you can do the necessaries osc.

not_so_insig 19-06-2023 01:44 PM

Thanks Jen and tamobhuuta. I am sitting here waiting for tesco shopping order to come. I can hear crying but am unsure if it's a baby or my cat lol.

long road 19-06-2023 01:53 PM

I needed to work through it Tamo. I am feeling a bit better about the drama as I can tell it will be resolved by the end of the episode. I think it was more my state of mind when I first tried to watch it and it's good to get past it and move on.

I am a bit wobbly mentally but not because of the TV.

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 02:44 PM

Looks like we're all not so good today. We need something to cheer us up a bit.

How about a nice big chocolate cake?

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 02:55 PM

Mmm chocolate cake!

long road 19-06-2023 02:56 PM

Ooh chocolate cake. I'll put the kettle on.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 03:04 PM

*finds plates and fancy cake forks*

long road 19-06-2023 03:18 PM

Who wants tea, who wants coffee and who wants hit chocolate?

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 03:32 PM

I'll stick to my Pepsi Max!

Make sure you really are doing something nice for yourselves today.

long road 19-06-2023 03:40 PM

Well I am having a cup of tea in my duck mug. Tea is always nice.

I just had the funniest image of pouring pepsi max from a teapot XD

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 03:45 PM

Enjoy your tea :) I'm wondering if you have more than one duck mug.

If I ever visit you I will expect Pepsi Max poured from a teapot now so don't forget.

long road 19-06-2023 03:52 PM

No just the one duck mug. It is my favourite mug though, but I only drink tea out of it. I have my coffee in a different mug. Hot chocolate might go in the duck mug but I prefer it in my yellow mug.

I shall have to buy a separate teapot just for pepsi max should you come to visit!

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 04:07 PM

Tea for me. I had tea with my dad and sister :)

long road 19-06-2023 04:09 PM

* pours you a cup of loose leaf from the teapot* milk and sugar?

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 04:22 PM

That's kind of cute that you have different mugs for different things.

How was tea with your Dad and sister, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 04:22 PM

Just milk for me please. Medium brown.

Tea with Dad and sis was lovely :)

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 04:24 PM

I could never make tea for someone else which would make me useless in a lot of jobs! It's too complicated getting it right for different people.

I'm glad you had a nice time, Tamo. Are you doing much else today?

long road 19-06-2023 04:29 PM

*hands Tamo a cup of medium brown tea*

Having different favourite cups means each one reminds me of a certain drink. Although I do drink out of the other mugs in my house just have my three favourites.

not_so_insig 19-06-2023 04:32 PM

I have had my tesco shopping order. I keep on going to feel ill so it's taking me ages to put everything away because I can only do a few things at a time. Still haven't put everything away. Thankfully I had no frozen foods and I have put the milk in the fridge.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 04:41 PM

It's ok to take things slowly insig.

Thanks LR.

Now I'm going to pray, then I will probably watch TV. What are you up to?

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 04:57 PM

Do you ban your partner from using your favourite mugs?

You'll get through it, Dawn. Even if you can only do little bits at a time. I'm sorry you're unwell.

What will you watch on TV? I've had a bit of an early dinner. Will watch Paramedics On Scene at 7pm.

long road 19-06-2023 05:04 PM

He doesn't use my duck mug which is my absolute favourite or my coffee mug, the yellow mug I use for hot chocolate is more general use as I don't drink hot chocolate very often. And I don't use his favourite mug He let his sister use his favourite mug the other day. She is very privileged. Although now I think of it she did buy it for him.

I am watching Foyles War on TV.

Cacoethes 19-06-2023 05:10 PM

I have volunteered for the closing shift also. I say volunteered, i basically begged them to let me do it. Lol.

long road 19-06-2023 05:23 PM

You getting dinner at work then?

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 05:44 PM

All those mug rules. :) could turn into a drama if someone slips up one day!

Are you enjoying Foyles War? Have you watched many episodes?

I hope you're ok, Beckie.

long road 19-06-2023 05:49 PM

Ah I don't really mind. I just prefer to use certain mugs. I can handle using another if one is dirty!

I am enjoying it, I am on my third episode today.

In a bit of pain but sort of managing.

Sorry I haven't replied to your thread Lindsay I read it but wasn't sure what to say

one_step_closer 19-06-2023 05:52 PM

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Jen. Are there lots of episodes to keep you going for a while?

Would you take some painkillers so hopefully the pain won't get worse?

It's ok not to reply to my thread. I will pass my apologies to you too and Beckie and whoever as I don't know if I'll be able to reply to any more support threads this evening.

not_so_insig 19-06-2023 06:09 PM

I have eventually managed to put all my shopping away. I moved to the bedroom where it's slightly cooler and fell asleep on the bed. It's helped because I am not so hot as before. My nap has also helped mh wise too.

tamobhuuta 19-06-2023 06:14 PM

I'm watching twenty twelve.

long road 19-06-2023 06:18 PM

The episodes are an hour and a half long (plus ads as I am watching them for free on itvx) and I have at least 16 episodes to watch.

I could maybe take some paracetamol and see if it helps. I doubt it will though.
