Cacoethes 04-01-2024 11:37 AM

Oh noo how rubbish :(
Hope things improve soon

He didn't really say anything overly entertaining.
Although he was unaware that you can stay in places abroad that are not hotels (like apartments/b&bs etc)
And also asked what city in rome did we visit....:confused:

long road 04-01-2024 11:40 AM

He lives in bizarro world! And weirdly sheltered it would appear.

Going to try and nap to see if it helps.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 11:45 AM

Seems so!
And who tf hasn't heard of air bnb???

Good idea!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 12:17 PM

Morning everyone.

You should stick with your CPN just for the wtf value, Beckie!

I hope you can rest and maybe get up later on, Jen.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 12:22 PM

Pretty much the only reason I'm still seeing him XD

How be you lindsay?

Zurg 04-01-2024 12:22 PM

Hi everyone :)
My city is mostly shut down. No public transport is running. Maintenance people can't even get here to dig us out.
I hope a day in bed will be helpful, Jen.
Does your cpn maybe come from another planet, Beckie??? That would explain a lot….
Hi Lindsay. What are you up to, today?

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 12:27 PM

Kat, I was thinking that myself about Beckie's CPN!

Do you have everything you need to be ok inside, Kat?

I saw a nice rainbow and thought I felt ok but I actually don't.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 12:32 PM

Sounds serious zurg!
Are you ok??

I think he probably does tbh!
Gona be fun when the Dwp have to phone him about my pip review thingy XD

Aww lindsay :(
Hope the day improves

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 12:36 PM

Thanks, Beckie. Do you have anything nice to do today?

Is there someone else the DWP would be better contacting?

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 12:40 PM

I have things but struggling with the things because of the laws of physics

Not sure! Don't even have a psych atm because my cmht is a shambles XD

not_so_insig 04-01-2024 01:04 PM

Hello all. I am wearing a scarf today. It was a present from Lorraine. I have hearing voices group today if my mum turns up (rely on her to take me there).

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 01:09 PM

My electric meter has just informed me it has been topped up by ?50
Idk how or why XD
I didn't do it

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 01:14 PM

And gas.meter too apparently
Weird

Zurg 04-01-2024 01:33 PM

Yay for free gas and electricity :D
I'm okay. I've been alive for long enough to be able to say that i've survived blizzards and shutdowns that were far worse ;) It's going to be a pain for a few more days until the roads and paths have been cleared but i'll manage.
A rainbows, Lindsay??? There's supposedly a pot of gold to be found at the end of it. Sadly, rainbows don't have an end since they are circular so someone very evil must be responsible for the pot of Gold rumour!!!

not_so_insig 04-01-2024 01:44 PM

I am at the cmht and so far I am the only one that's turned up for the hearing voices group. Should be interesting.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 01:51 PM

Yeah definitely not complaining about it XD

Glad you're dealing with it ok. I guess you jist have to!

It's the leprechauns. The naughty, naughty leprechauns

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 02:28 PM

Sorry today's a bed day lr.

Sorry you're stuck in Zurg.

Hi Cacoethes. Your cpn makes me lol. He probably wouldn't if he was mine.

Did people turn up insig?

How are you osc?

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 02:36 PM

Hey tamo!
How are you?

not_so_insig 04-01-2024 03:35 PM

No tamobhuuta nobody else turned up. Had a talk with the people who run it for half an hour then went home. Put my bins out because this week only they're collecting it on Friday instead of Thursday due to new year's day. Now relaxing before I start cleaning my flat.

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 04:20 PM

I'm ok thanks Cacoethes. What are you up to?

Have fun cleaning insig!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 05:02 PM

Did you get warm home discount or something, Beckie? Enjoy!!!

How many people usually come to the group, Dawn? Maybe they all forgot it was back on.

I could only see a small chunk of the rainbow, Kat. How are you amusing yourself at home?

Have you been doing anything interesting, Tamo?

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 05:04 PM

I'm just trying to stay out of trouble!

Im not entitled to the warm home discount since i started work

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 05:06 PM

There are other ways that you can get credit but when I have got it those ways I have always been phoned in advance. I wonder what it is. Energy faries?

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 05:17 PM

I very bravely reported my drain as blocked and they were like, no, all the showers do that. That's my interesting thing.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 05:27 PM

I'm gonna go with energy fairies!! :-D

Drains in hospitals are always getting blocked!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 05:37 PM

I hate to think what's down those drains! The problem with the showers in my local ward is that they keep turning off really quickly and going cold. It actually puts me off having a shower.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 05:44 PM

Showering in hospital is very rarely a pleasant experience!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 05:44 PM

Hospital in general is unpleasant!

What's everyone doing this evening?

maii 04-01-2024 05:58 PM

Hi and good morning everyone ... I'll try to learn your names but I doubt I'll remember.

Cacoethes ~ I know I post when you all are asleep and I'm ok so no worried about that I was just saying it was quiet in general yesterday seemingly.

osc ~ no plans this evening as of yet.

Hope everyone is doing well.

maii 04-01-2024 05:59 PM

Actually the best water pressure I even had was when I was hospitalized but they didn't allow me a brush and just the comb makes my hear flat.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 06:05 PM

Very true lindsay!

Hello maii!

Ah ok! Yeah it was pretty quiet!

not_so_insig 04-01-2024 06:14 PM

There are 6 of us including me in our hearing voices group plus 2 leaders Lindsay. One person emailed one of the leaders to say that they were unwell but nobody knew what happened to everyone else. Maybe they forgot or were unwell.

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 07:04 PM

O well, fingers crossed for a turn out next time!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 07:08 PM

Morning, Maii. I hope you have a good day.

Sometimes it takes people a while to get back into their routine after Christmas I think, Dawn.

Are you back in your routine after your holiday, Beckie?

What are you up to, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 07:10 PM

I'm waiting for L she aims to visit at 6 but is always late. Can't complain, she brings me Costa!

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 07:14 PM

I hope you have a nice visit. Have you heard they do new hot milkshakes now at Costa?

Zurg 04-01-2024 07:21 PM

A hot milkshake???!!?! What is this witch craft????

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 07:28 PM

I didn't really have much of a routine pre holiday!.
But yeah, kind of!

Hot milkshakes??

long road 04-01-2024 07:39 PM

Isn't a hot milkshake basically a latte or hot chocolate anyway? Or do they do whacky flavours???

Evening everyone!

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 07:46 PM

Hey jen!
Feeling any better?

Just remembered coming out of the arrivals bit of the airport and literally the first thing there is a massive Greggs straight in front of you
Like welcome to London...GREGGS!!!!
Peak british

long road 04-01-2024 07:52 PM

A little better. I have spent all day in bed and a large part of it asleep.

I mean who doesn't want a sausage roll after being stuck in a plane for ages XD

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 08:02 PM

Hopefully you can still sleep tonight!

I was really hungry but wasn't feeling the greggs!
Do usually like a greggs though
Sausage, bean and cheese melt is just *chefs kiss*
And the yum yums!!!

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 08:27 PM

Mmmm yum yums

long road 04-01-2024 08:33 PM

Well either I will sleep or I won't. Might not sleep because I am nervous about assessment of doom anyway!

Sausage bean and cheese melt used to be my go to! They sell frozen ones in Iceland you can cook at home!!!

Yumyums are good but I don't think I have ever had a Greggs one....

one_step_closer 04-01-2024 08:41 PM

I think one of the hot milkshakes is a strawberry one. Sounds disgusting.

I only get ham salad baguettes from Greggs now.

I hope you do manage to get a good sleep, Jen.

long road 04-01-2024 08:49 PM

I haven't been to Gregg's in ages, usually go to a local pasty shop / bakery these days. Love me a proper pasty and you get good ones in the South West!

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 08:49 PM

I did see that Iceland have a greggs range now!
Probably not the same

Hot strawberry milkshake???

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 08:52 PM

Literally just got the costa email about the hot milkshakes!
The first email was upside down

tamobhuuta 04-01-2024 09:11 PM

My brain is confused by hot milkshakes.

Cacoethes 04-01-2024 09:15 PM

I'm definitely gonna have to try one
