I had the world's shortest appointment - 1 min 32 sec! Everything is fine, just continue as normal.

I don't know what to talk about in those situations either.

That's good!
My cmht appointments are usually that short.
Neurologist keeps me on the phone for at least 30 mins. It's annoying!

You normally don't need to talk much as the parents will do ALL the talking. Eating and sleeping and pooping are the most common topics =P

And yes, pics of the queen.

Good to hear it was short and nothing to report, tamo!

In bad news, one of my earrings came out in the night and now I can't find it.

Yeah, new parents LOVE to talk about baby poop related things tbh.
And either brag about how well they sleep, or complain about how little they sleep.

Ah no! I hate that!

There's no new Casualty!

Disaster!

What are you up to?

Just been for coffee with L and aldi. Nail appointment soon!

How about you?

I've finished collating my risk scores for the past ten years. Mum wants to make a graph! I want to get the dates of all my hospital admissions so I can mark them on the chart.

Hello all. I have been very busy. My day consisted of walking from the far end of town to the other. Met my friend LJ for coffee in the museum which was thankfully mostly kiddie free and quiet. I was glad of a sit down and a cuppa by the end. I am resting now because my legs are knackered and am contemplating having some chocolate. I was out for 3 hours.

Thanks for the tips guys! Luckily limited conversation was required as the elder child kept asking us to stop talking so that I could chase her, so I mainly just did that.

How are you all doing? Are you going to make the graph tamo?

P.S. sent np a meeting the queen jpg and a group photo to see if she can spot any of us!

Kids are so tiresome.
Not a fan.

I am sad about no longer having long nails :'(
My fingers look so stubby now!

You up to much jenna?
Apart from dealing with my random meet enquiries...:tongue2:

Can you grow your own nails longer to compensate?

No idea who anyone is =/

Putting the scores in monthly columns was enough for me, I'm not putting them into a computer. I only have a tablet, it would be a faff. So not straight away anyway...

Sounds like you had a good time insig and Pi?

Hey everyone,

Not having the best day health wise. But I have managed to get to the sofa and am now watching Moana, drinking coffee and just finished the last piece of leftover birthday cake.

Had a call with my neuro OT this morning where I don't feel like I made much sense and I don't remember much of it other than she will get back in touch in a few weeks.

Our friend J coming over this evening. I hope I am well enough to see him as he moved away for his job so we don't see him super often.

I do try to np! But they just end up breaking :(

Sorry you're not having a great day jen
Hope the cake helps!

Sorry you're having a bad day LR. I hope you can enjoy seeing your friend.

I did have a good time tamobhuuta. Even if it was knackering. I have now had some chocolate.

Fear not, I annotated the jpg to show np lots of the regulars on this thread! Beckie- it’s the group one where I am inexplicably on your lap o_O

Sorry you’re having a bad day Jen, hope you can rest up and are well enough to see your friend. Also is it possible to have someone with you on speakerphone for appointments like that so that you aren’t required to take in everything that’s said?

Ahahaha! What an excellent choice of jpg XD

My partner is there at all my in person appointments including hoem visits but the phone ones are a bit like you get called at some point. I only knew it was today because I have a log in to the local hospital digital patient portal and my OT had put it on there. But probably would be good to have them there.

Feel mildly better. Friend just got here.

I enjoyed the jpg very much =)

Have a nice time, Jen =)

Glad you feel a bit better Jen!

I am in need of emotional support. I just simmered my curry for 15 minutes and felt grumpy that it was still really watery. I forgot to put the stock cube in :plain:

Woe.

Stick the cube in now and simmer again. You can't overcook curry!

Yeah, I did that, not helping so far! And unfortunately the fake chicken in this one gets too soft when it’s overcooked. Just got to hope K at least agrees that it’s not as bad as the time I made tofu risotto (that’s the only time they’ve ever been like ‘sorry but I’m not eating that’!)

Stick a bit of cornflour in?

You can tell my style of cooking is just to "stick stuff in" o.O

I didn’t see this in time but I was genuinely wondering if I should do that!! Great minds.

Say 'screw it' and get a takeaway XD
That would be my style of cooking. If i could ever be bothered to do proper cooking :tongue2:

I wish! Takeaway is a bloody drama in our house too due to dietary requirements and preferences. Genuinely easier to cook :P

How are you both this evening anyway?

Ah, fair enough!

I'm ok! Just winding down after glow beatz!

Have you resolved cooking drama?

I'd still eat watery curry =) Like curry soup with bread.

Was the curry edible or did K turn it down?

I'm... meh. Had a spurt of energy and did some washing up. Now watching Fantastic Beasts.

Well done for doing the washing up!
Fantastic beasts is an excellent choice!

Well, it was only some washing up. There's still loads left.

It is. It's the second one which I'm not massively keen on but I can't just skip to the 3rd! Although I did sort of watch it the other day (think I fell asleep or got distracted or something and woke up at the end?) so maybe I am allowed to skip it.

We made delicious Bolognese soup by accident once. I hope your watery curry was at least edible. Partner made me honey fried rice with steak once. It did not work...

Had a good time with our friend J. We haf make your own pizzas and salad for dinner and chatted a loads about lots of different stuff.

Oh and we did a page of the where my llama book our nephew got my partner for his birthday. It's like where's Wally but with 10 different llamas to find!!!

I am tired now but at least happier after doing something fun with my day.

Locate Llamas? =P

Glad you are happier!

Some is better than none!

I wouldn't be able to skip it either!
I'd say you'd be allowed to skip it under those circumstances. I always get distracted but it still counts!

I'm glad you had a good time jen!

Sadly no alliteration it's just called 'Where's the Llama?' but it's deceptively difficult and really good fun.

That said it does have the phrase A Whole Llotta Llama's to Search and Find on the front cover. So I will let them off!

I have hit a tiredness wall now and should go to bed but have run out of energy to get there so stuck on sofa!

Some washing up is better than no washing up! Well done :)

Oh no Jen, can you have one last blast of energy to get to bed or do you need to have a snooze on the sofa first?

Currently half dozing on sofa

Just dropped in here to say hello and wish others well and hopefully everyone is doing better than I am.



Take care and don't lose hope.

Thanks Mali. Feel free to post in one of the support boards if you want some input.

Exciting update I made it to bed! First try my muscles didn't work but second try I made it

Thank you and glad your seeming to feel better from that posting. Yeah, I need to post at some point and ask to see if I'm too far gone or smth.

Morning everyone!

Morning!

Although I am tempted to try and sleep a bit more.

Hey jen!
Sleep more if that's what you need!

Morning all :)
I was woken up at 7.30 by a certain bunny that wanted breakfast and thus decided to throw my slippers around until i Got out of bed…. He can be quite insistent ;)

Oh no, what a cheeky bunny! Will you be going back to bed for a rest?

Morning everyone. I just cleared out a drawer in my desk and found that it contained 68 highlighters. Oh dear.

Woah, Jenna, you never told us about your highlighter hoarding problems XD
Gotta go find some decent help for that!!! Before it escalates out of your control!!

Nah, i'm up now. I Think my cpn Will call in a few minutes. She'll be worried if i don't Pick up. Can't have that, can we???
