I am not sure doughballs would post well. Don tyou buy them from the fridge section cos of the garlic butter?

I am having a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Cacoethes 12-11-2023 06:21 PM

Good point!
They are in the fridge section

Nice! What kind of biscuit?

long road 12-11-2023 07:06 PM

A hobnob!

tamobhuuta 12-11-2023 07:07 PM

I saw a patient slip through a supposedly locked door and instead of following I alerted the authorities!

long road 12-11-2023 07:09 PM

Well done for being responsible Tamo!

Cacoethes 12-11-2023 07:25 PM

Hobnobs are a top tier biscuit

Well done tamo!

not_so_insig 12-11-2023 07:28 PM

I don't like hobnobs.

one_step_closer 12-11-2023 07:58 PM

Well done Tamo. :)

Chocolate hobnobs are especially good.

nonperson 12-11-2023 08:07 PM

The dark chocolate ones are especially especially good!

Cacoethes 12-11-2023 09:07 PM

Ooh the dark chocolate ones! <3

nonperson 12-11-2023 09:10 PM

ikr!!

Cacoethes 12-11-2023 09:22 PM

Someone teleport me some dark chocolate hobnobs pls

long road 12-11-2023 09:26 PM

I no have teleporter. Or dark chocolate hobnobs soz.

Cacoethes 12-11-2023 09:41 PM

You are forgiven, seeing as teleports (unfortunately) do not exist.
Not commercially anyway
*puts on tinfoil hat*

long road 12-11-2023 10:52 PM

Got anymore tinfoil hats?

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 04:49 AM

Always!

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 08:06 AM

Morning all. *tips hat* .

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 08:20 AM

Hey dawn

long road 13-11-2023 08:26 AM

Morning Beckie and Dawn.

How are you both?

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 08:34 AM

I'm ok thanks jen
How are you?

long road 13-11-2023 08:39 AM

Not great but a little better than yesterday I think

Just taken my once a week sit bolt upright, don't eat or drink for 30 minutes, do not pass go medicine.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 08:40 AM

A little better is better than nothing!

How annoying!

long road 13-11-2023 08:49 AM

For sure. I am grateful for even a little improvement!

It is rather annoying. I am thankful I only have to take it once a week. Can't wait for the timer to be up so I can have coffee!

Need to ring CMHT today and try and work out what's occurring. Not looking forward to it.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 09:16 AM

Ringing the cmht is never a good time

long road 13-11-2023 09:53 AM

Exactly. I called and left a message so now I get to be anxious about when someone will eventually call me.

But I have done breakfast and morning meds and I have coffee now so I have that going for me!

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 10:21 AM

Ugh!

That's good!

The weather can't make up its mind.
Been rain and wind all morning, now it's sunny!

long road 13-11-2023 10:41 AM

Decided to leave message today as I called 10 times on Friday and at no point did anyone answer the phone. And when I spoke to crisis person yesterday they said CMHT rarely answer phone as they have no time and instead just triage messages.

It's a bit like that here too. Was really sunny. Now clouds are gathering.

What time is your driving lesson?

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 10:44 AM

Good plan.
If they don't call back nearer the end of the day, i recommend trying again.
But hopefully they just weren't picking up because of a morning meeting.
My cmht pick up the phone almost immediately. Clearly they have too much time on their hands XD

It's at 10am, so soon!
Honestly just not feeling it today, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

long road 13-11-2023 11:01 AM

I called at 9am today and at 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2:30pm on Friday I think they just don't answer the phone XD

Also put a patient triage thing into GP surgery explaining things have been worse mentally this weekend. So might be able to get GP to chase CMHT.

Enjoy driving! I hope you get to practise manoeuvres!

one_step_closer 13-11-2023 11:40 AM

Morning everyone.

Hope the CMHT get back to you soon, Jen.

Hi Dawn, how are you?

Hope you have a good driving lesson, Beckie.

Zurg 13-11-2023 12:10 PM

Hi all :)
I admire all people with the skills and courage to brave driving!!! It is one of the very few things i shall never attempt. It is doomed to end in disaster.
I cross my fingers for someone picking up the phone or calling you back, Jen!!!
Hi Dawn and Lindsay :) what are you up to, today??.
I'm still ill. But the annoying pain has almost passed so there was room for an annoying cough instead. I suppose you can't win with these things…

one_step_closer 13-11-2023 12:24 PM

Oh dear, Kat. Not fair. Are you being nice to yourself and looking after yourself?

I have been to the chemist and post office, washed my hair, and dusted (which I always forget to do). Just been doing my usual internetting and going to read a bit more of It.

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 12:27 PM

I am ok apart from a bit tired as I didn't sleep well. I am waiting for amazon and yodel today with people's Christmas presents. It's windy af due to storm Debi. Glad I have nowhere to be today. I also received an text from Scottish Power as they're responsible for the electricity network here and I am registered as a vulnerable person with them.

one_step_closer 13-11-2023 12:36 PM

I hope you have a better sleep tonight. Fingers crossed the power stays on, do you often have power cuts in stormy weather? It's been really wet and windy here but seems to have calmed down a lot.

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 12:40 PM

My parents have more problems with power cuts than I do. Growing up it wasn't unusual to have a power cut in the winter. I haven't tried watching telly yet but judging from the wind I won't be able to. My cat isn't bothered about the wind but I had a cat once that hated the wind.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 01:07 PM

I had a good driving lesson but am now exhausted!
Concentrating is tiring! Plus i got up at 3:30am XD
Did well though!
Was randomly really nervous at the start but eased into it

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 01:58 PM

My parcels came. Yodel came and then a minute later Amazon arrived. Now to check them out and then try and take a nap.

long road 13-11-2023 02:57 PM

Thanks Zurg and Lindsay. GP called but not heard from CMHT yet.

Sorry you stil feel ill Zurg, illness sucks.

Dusting is impressive Lindsay I rarely dust but there are parts of my house that really need it!

Buying Christmas presents already you are super organised Dawn!

Glad you enjoyed driving Beckie.

Had a few seizures this morning so have been resting on the sofa for the last couple of hours listening to music. Think I dozed off a few times. My new blanket is super soft and cosy.

Guess I will try and do something about lunch shortly.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 03:00 PM

Thanks jen

Rest definitely sounds like the way to go!

long road 13-11-2023 03:44 PM

Bit more with it now.

Watching Fight Club.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 03:52 PM

Good

I am not and am now going to nap

long road 13-11-2023 03:58 PM

Hope you can nap and it helps.

I phoned CMHT again. My theory that they never answer the phone continues to be proved...

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 04:52 PM

Sounds like mine Jen.

long road 13-11-2023 05:02 PM

Sad to hear it Dawn but not suorised. I left a message on their answerphone at 9am and at 4pm have heard nothing.

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 05:08 PM

Yeah last week I tried too and couldn't get through. They're supposed to move buildings in a few weeks time I wouldn't be surprised if nothing changes other than the phone number.

one_step_closer 13-11-2023 05:09 PM

That's rubbish. My CMHT usually answer fine it's just Duty who rarely answer.

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 06:39 PM

How frustrating jen!

tamobhuuta 13-11-2023 07:08 PM

Evening everyone. We did a quiz and my team won!

Cacoethes 13-11-2023 07:16 PM

Well done tamo!

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 08:11 PM

I had a 2 hour nap before. Did me some good after a bad night's sleep. Now contemplating what to have for tea. Might have chilli. Or something else from the freezer.
