Would a choc one be like a really thick hot chocolate?

long road 04-01-2024 09:27 PM

Icelans ones were pretty similar to one from the shop when I tried them and at least that way you definitely get to eat it the right temperature. My experience of Greggs is either they are fresh out of the oven and nuclear hot so burn your mouth or they are lukewarm and noone wants lukewarm beans!

My brain is also confused by hot milkshake Tamo.

I look forward to your review Beckie!

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 09:39 PM

They said 8.15 for meds. The nurse just said it's going to be another 15 minutes. But I've got my music.

long road 04-01-2024 10:01 PM

Did you successfully obtain your meds Tamo?

I am getting anxious about my CMHT assessment tomorrow and as such have a lot of nervous energy. Trying to work out what to do with it.

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 10:27 PM

I've had my meds! I made sure I was first in the queue. Screw needy patients!

not_so_insig 04-01-2024 11:38 PM

Good luck with your assessment Jen.

long road 05-01-2024 12:11 AM

Thanks Dawn. It's at 12:30pm tomorrow.

Glad you were first in the queue Tamo!

maii 05-01-2024 01:54 AM

Good luck with you assessment, LR.

maii 05-01-2024 01:56 AM

Morning thread dwellers!

Morning Beckie!

How are you today?

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 09:06 AM

I'm ok thanks!
Though my driving instructor has cancelled and that is sad :(

How are you?

long road 05-01-2024 09:10 AM

That is sad. Do you get the money back or dies it transfer to next session?

I got about 5 hours sleep. Am trying to gather the energy to get up and do breakfast and things. Anxious about assessment appointment od doom.

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 09:34 AM

It'll transfer to the next lesson!

Good luxk!

long road 05-01-2024 09:44 AM

it's not until 12:30pm so trying not to enter waiting mode too early!

Just had breakfast. Weetabix and tinned pears. Next step is to make coffee and do meds.

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 10:15 AM

At least it's not tooo late

long road 05-01-2024 10:33 AM

Indeed. Currently drinking coffe and doing my puzzle book as a distraction. Just trying to keep busy.

What will you do with your mor ing now your lesson has been cancelled?

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 11:32 AM

Good plan!

Currently getting SUPER frustrated that my watch won't connect but cleaned out the boys and need to go to asda and probably clean rest of the house and want to run but i do not like running in daylight XD

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 12:06 PM

Morning everyone. My ward rounds got moved from 1.30pm to 10.30am, luckily I wrote everything down yesterday. My friend R is coming to see me soon :)

What a fun day Cacoethes! But productive!

Enjoy your puzzles lr. Good luck with your appointment.

not_so_insig 05-01-2024 12:09 PM

Morning all. I am expecting amazon and yodel today. Bin day today so got rather wet bringing my ordinary bin in as it's pissing it down here. No wind thankfully.

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 12:12 PM

How was ward round tamo?

I finally sorted my watch!!!
Should probably go and do other stuff now
I want a piercing or tattoo

long road 05-01-2024 12:29 PM

Morning Dawn and Tamo!

I just had a shower for further distraction and because I did need one really.
Now watching you tube. Must. Not. Enter. Waiting . Mode.

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 01:26 PM

It was ok. The psych said they couldn't trust me if i wasn't honest about the thoughts The Organisation are putting in my head.

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 02:01 PM

Hopefully you've had the call now jen+!

Well, yeah that's pretty true tamo!
Honesty is best in most cases

one_step_closer 05-01-2024 02:48 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Well done for fixing your watch, Beckie. Do you feel like a tech whiz?!

Hope everything went ok, Jen.

Definitely better to be honest, Tamo.

Hope you get your parcels ok, Dawn.

long road 05-01-2024 02:59 PM

Assessment went ok I think, don't know exact plan yet but it wasnt you get no help at all. More detail in my thread.

one_step_closer 05-01-2024 03:01 PM

I hope what they offer is the right thing for you.

Is there something nice you can do now?

long road 05-01-2024 03:06 PM

Am having some beans on toast with grated cheese on top for lunch. And then might ring local charity to debrief a little bit / get emotion out I think.

one_step_closer 05-01-2024 03:20 PM

Brilliant lunch choice! Hope you get someone helpful to talk things through with.

not_so_insig 05-01-2024 03:40 PM

My yodel parcel came and so have the bin men. Which is good because I managed to fill 2 paper bags full of cardboard. Thankfully I have no more cardboard atm. Just amazon left now but last time I looked tracking said it was expected between 5.30 and 7.30 pm. Which probably means it will turn up at 8 pm. Then I will have the fun of trying to build a scratching post for my cat.

Eta: just checked now and it now says 5.45 to 7.45 pm

Yeah it seems to be working because I'm trying to taper off my Clonazepam and the gaba receptors are getting quite the workout along with my sleeping medication; but I also at some point would like to also taper off the gabapentin but right now I'm in an awful mental headspace and its not the right time for me ... maybe when I'm in better shape. I Hope your back starts to fell better, Minx66
Good morning everyone at RYL :hop:In about an hour will get ready for my walk again but I can't make it as far as I did yesterday.

I hope you all are doing well.

long road 05-01-2024 04:28 PM

Morning Maii, Hope the weather is nice for your walk later.

I am waiching MasterChef the Professionals while I wait for a call back from local support place (I left a voicemail)

one_step_closer 05-01-2024 04:50 PM

I hate building things. Good luck, Dawn!

Are you just going for a walk or is there somewhere you need to go, Maii?

I used to like watching cooking shows but not any more.

not_so_insig 05-01-2024 05:32 PM

I don't mind building cat scratching posts Lindsay. Whether my cat will use it is another thing.

maii 05-01-2024 06:28 PM

Hi LR and osc :)


I just started walking again mainly for the exercise. I'm back from the walk as I don't drive. It was windy today here in new in New England US. Pretty day though outside. I purchased a soda and only drank 1/2 bc I don't really need the extra caffeine, but at the same time I needed a little boost. I didn't really need to go anywhere special I did pick up 2 pairs of jeans at a thrift store. I'm learning to be more vocal with other ppl and I'm usually quiet.

Hi insig, how are you today?

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 06:51 PM

Hi everyone. I had vegan fish fingers for dinner, they were weird.

one_step_closer 05-01-2024 06:55 PM

Crookshanks loves those cardboard scratching things. Well, he basically loves to scratch anything! I hope your cat will use the scratching post and enjoy it.

Sounds like lots of positives, Maii. Well done.

What are vegan fish fingers made of?

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 07:05 PM

I've no idea *googles*

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 07:07 PM

Seems to be either mycoprotein or rice flakes.

Cacoethes 05-01-2024 08:47 PM

Did ryl die for anyone else??
Couldn't get on for ages and it's at that stage now when it could genuinely die at any time XD

maii 05-01-2024 08:48 PM

Thank you osc and I'll try to focus on the good and positives. I'm hard on myself sometimes (most of the time) and I didn't feel it was ideal and my mood(s) shift easily and sometimes I hit lows and things feel surreal. But yeah, better than staying tied to the computer chair.



How are you, tomo?

Indeed it did and I got a v bulletin database error for a while and I was concerned and thought we were hacked or smth

maii 05-01-2024 08:50 PM

If RYL goes down (for good) is there an alternative site/place/forum to where we can all meet up? I don't wan to lose the connection I have with you folks. Please let me know and I'll join another forum with the same UN to let you know its me from here.

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 08:54 PM

Oh no RYL is dying :(

I'm ok thanks maii, how are you?

How are you Cacoethes?

not_so_insig 05-01-2024 08:59 PM

My amazon parcel has arrived and I have built the scratching post. It arrived nearly an hour ago.

The site was down for me too I was legit panicking.

Maii there's the good limbo which some members set up. It has a chat if there's nobody on this site. A lot of members here are also members of that site.

maii 05-01-2024 08:59 PM

I know, I hope not.



Good you are ok, tomo.



Me, I'm sort of in the 'I don't know' phase and the day isn't over.

tamobhuuta 05-01-2024 09:03 PM

I'm so ready for the day to be over.
