You work hard for your money, I think you deserve a mandalorian helmet tbh!

Indeed. I wanted to do a bushcraft course thing, but they're so expensive!

Oh don't encourage me. I'd only sit at home watching tv with it on =P

Youtube is free. I'm fairly certain there will be loads of stuff on there teaching skills to survive an apocalypse XD

Dooooo it! :tongue2:

There probably is. The only trouble is, I have the attention span of a gnat and I'm more of a learn by doing kinda person! I could give it a go though!

Noooo. But yes. I would look awesome and would absolutely take the creed and never take it off again.

Yeah, same. I think survival is more based on instinct than learned skills tbh. (I've also been watching the Last Of Us and have given this a lot of thought recently...)

Also also... I've forgotten how annoying my laptop keyboard is. The V key keeps getting stuck. Who knew that was such an important letter.

You would look awesome

That's probably true
I still need to watch that!

Ugh. That sounds super annoying.
I very rarely use a laptop these days.

Oh I would look awesome for sure. >.>

I'm watching it veeeery slowly because it properly freaks me out...!

I hardly use my laptop nowadays but randomly turned it on today and after a million updates, here we are.

I can't do anything slowly.
I'm all or nothing XD

I only use my laptop if i have to have an appointment online. Which is very rare. And i turn it on hours before the appointment in case of random updates!

Morning everyone

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Bit upset.
It's mother's day and i didn't even get a card.
Affected me more than I thought it would
Oh well. We move on.

How are you?

I'm sorry, that really sucks. *hugs* if wanted. I hope you can be extra specially kind to yourself today.

I am ok. Covid free so going to Mass later. And I'm looking forward to organising my paperwork once my folder arrives.

Thank you <3
I'm just gonna get on with my usual Sunday stuff.
Pilates, cleaning, dye hair, washing etc.

Yay for being covid free!
Hope you enjoy mass

I'm sorry you didn't get a card, Beckie. :(

Sending love to all Mums to humans and Mums to animals and people who find Mothers day hard.

I'm glad you're covid free now Tamo. I hope you enjoy mass and get your paperwork sorted and feel accomplished.

Remember Sunday is RYL bedding change day, Beckie. I've already done mine.

Thanks <3

Yup, stripped the bed this morning! Just need to put fresh ones on later.

I prefer to get it all done in the one go. How is your day going?

I just got a phone call from a number I didn't recognise (obviously didn't answer! Sometimes don't answer first time to a number I do know!) They left a voicemail in a different language. I've never had that before.

Not bad. Just cleaned out boys. Now gonna dye hair, chill while it's doing its thing and then get on with a quick house clean.

Weird..maybe they got the wrong number?

Is your hair going to be the same colour or different?

I was more thinking it was a new way for Sadako from The Ring to kill me since I don't have a VHS player!

Afternoon all.

I'm part way through my Sunday bedding change. Gonna put a new purple duvet cover on and swap to a brand new duvet as well. Luxury at its finest. =)

Hey, NP. Have missed you.

I'm glad you're going to be having a luxurious bed. I hope it helps you sleep well and is nice and comfy and cosy.

Same. Purple.
Waiting for it to develop now.
Always surprises me how much i get out of one small pot of dye. When i first ordered them, I got 2 as my hair is below shoulder length, and i didn't think 2 would be enough, but just 1 was plenty!

That's a bit dark lindsay XD

Oooh sounds lovely np!
Purple is my favourite colour.

Howdy Lindsay <3

I bought new pillows a few weeks ago too. It makes a big difference having new stuff. What would really help to make a comfy sleeping zone would be to actually paint my room... but currently I'm looking at new curtains. I keep coming across some made from old saris that look really cool.

How long does it take to develop? I do like your purple hair.

Are you re-doing your whole bedroom, NP? It would be great to have a nice peaceful place to go.

I bought new pillows when I got my bed.
Does make a massive difference!

Only 30 mins. But i usually leave it on 10 mins longer. It most likely doesn't make a difference, but i do it anyway!
Thank you!

My file divider came and I sorted out all my paperwork and it's amazing!

Getting things sorted is always a nice feeling

How's your hair getting on Cacoethes?

Not really. I agree it would be nice to have a peaceful place to go but ultimately I am lazy and decorating is scary so I'll just Google things for now.

It took me ages to find pillows that don't hurt my neck. I just have one memory foam one now but have three assorted other ones on my bed to fill it up. I take my pillow when I'm admitted to hospital.

Well done, Tamo. You're a professional! It's nice to get things all sorted and in their place.

You can just imagine things for now, NP. I haven't ever redecorated or anything since I moved here and don't think I could be bothered now.

Hair is now bright purple again! :-D

And I have also done all my things. So I can chill now.
Actually made pretty good time.

Good stuff, Beckie. I always think things will take me longer to do than they actually do. What are you going to do with your chill time?

Yeah.
I was feeling so overwhelmed this morning because it seemed like a lot. Even though it's my normal sunday, aside from dyeing hair. And I don't usually get overwhelmed by it.

Probably just continue watching torchwood.
Need to feed the boys also.
And myself.

Evening all :)

I had a bit of a lousy morning that messed up my entire routine to start the day. But i went on to being busy. Mostly to avoid thinking too much or paying too much attention to my emotions….

You've all been amazingly cool today and achieved lots of stuff!!!

NP, i've found in the event of entering into a bit of unknown diy-territory that googling any kind of process is a big help!!!

Also, i want purple hair!!!! :D

Hey zurg!

Sorry you had a bad morning.
Sounds like you managed it though, so well done!

Purple hair is the best! If I do say so myself :-D

Agreed that purple hair is the best.

I'm glad you agree!

Purple anything is the best.

Well done on being busy yourself, Zurg. Sometimes keeping occupied is the best thing to be doing, even if not the most restful.

Also if googling DIY stuff equates to knowledge and experience then I am a highly proficient (bordering on professional) DIYer! I've got the skills when I put my mind to it, just not often the effort for long winded, disruptive and messy projects like painting rooms.

That's very true Non-Person, my new car is purple!

True!

I'm hopeless at any kind of diy stuff.
My neighbour is great at things like that though.

A purple car... *swoon* =o

*waves* My parents have gone home so I am back!
Had a good couple of days with them here but it's nice to have some time to ourselves again now.

Helloo!
Glad you had a nice couple of days :)

Managed to not be too symptomatic while they were here. No dissociative seizures for last 5 days.

Managed to go to the seaside twice!

Got a doctor's appointment tomorrow I am a bit nervous about

Sounds successful!
I can't remember the last time I went to the seaside. Or where i last went to the seaside!
Possibly Brighton last year.

Hope it goes well.

Its beautiful!!!

Yay on the no seizure front Long Road!

I live 20 minutes drive from the closest beach and can get to another 2 or 3 within 30-40 minutes. So we go to the seaside quite a bit (my partner drives as I don't have a licence). I grew up in England's most land locked county though!

Thanks Ahimsa! I am pretty happy with it. Longest ever streak since I started having them is 3 weeks, maybe I will get there again this time!

That's cool :)

Morning everyone!

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Morning Beckie and Tamo,

I am nervously waiting for my GP appointment that was meant to be 10 minutes ago.

Morning.
Not sure how i am.

Hope your gp appointment goes ok.
GPs are often late.
Which is sometimes a good sign, means they don't just kick you out after 5 mins and will actually spend time sorting stuff. In my experience anyway.
