Not really, the prayer group takes the whole afternoon and then I go straight to Mass then it's dinner time.

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 12:18 PM

Hopefully you'll sleep better tonight after being busy, Tamo.

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 12:22 PM

Hopefully.

What is everyone up to today?

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 12:27 PM

I was supposed to be meeting up with my brother but he cancelled so will just have a day in the house. Have changed my bedding and washed my hair and will clean Crookshanks bowls and mats after he has his dinner.

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 12:34 PM

That sounds productive OSC!

I'm going to get some tidying done and I've decided I'm allowed to pop into town if I get things done first.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 12:34 PM

Do you need anything specific in town beth?

Sounds productive lindsay!

I'm going to be going out for a drive in a bit

not_so_insig 10-03-2024 12:35 PM

It's Mother's Day today. I am going out for a meal later today so won't be around much. It's the final of Dancing on Ice later so will be watching it.

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 12:38 PM

Well done osc :)

Enjoy your town trip Ahimsa. What will you do there?

Have fun on your drive Cacoethes. Where do you think you'll go?

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 12:38 PM

Enjoy insig!

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 12:43 PM

I think I'm just dopamine hunting because my ADHD meds aren't working

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 12:48 PM

I'm thinking maybe the retail park for the big charity shop may be a better plan! I can also get some new exfoliating gloves from B&M while I'm there :)

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 01:10 PM

That sounds fun. I love shopping for the dopamine! Though I don't have adhd.

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 01:16 PM

I got half my room tidied and vacuumed! Think thats enough for now.

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 01:17 PM

Well done :)

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 01:18 PM

Thank you!

How is your day going?

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 01:26 PM

Good thanks. Going out to my prayer group soon, it's an hour's drive away, my dad is very kindly giving me lift.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 04:00 PM

Been busy in here today!

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 05:01 PM

Well done, Beth. Are you going out now?

Have you been on your drive, Beckie?

Hope you have a good day, Dawn.

Hope you enjoy your prayer group, Tamo.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 05:02 PM

I have been on my drive
It went really well

How's your day going lindsay?

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 05:16 PM

Did you go somewhere in particular? I'm glad it went well.

I decided to go to Tesco and get some things for the Foodbank.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 05:22 PM

Yeah, went to the town I'm doing my test in. Wanted to go to a fish shop but the fish L wanted was no longer there sadly. Then went for a coffee and to another town to do some manoeuvres.

That's so nice of you! I'm sure it will be appreciated

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 05:27 PM

It's good you're getting lots of practice combined with doing nice things too.

I'm hoping to donate things every Sunday. I used to do it regularly but then stopped for some reason.

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 05:28 PM

Was the fish for a pet or food?

My meeting was good. The journey home was surprisingly quick so I've time for a short sit down before Mass.

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 05:32 PM

Will you be walking to Mass today?

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 05:36 PM

No, not after my night time leg pains. Maybe tomorrow.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 05:40 PM

Yeah, it's good :)

That's such a lovely thing to do lindsay
I've had to use a food bank a couple of times and it is a lifesaver for a lot of people, especially these days!

It was for a pet tamo
Glad your meeting was good

nonperson 10-03-2024 07:01 PM

Hello all

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 07:06 PM

Np!!!
How are you? You've been away a while!

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 07:20 PM

NP I have missed you!

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 07:32 PM

Hi all!!

I ended up in town, the retail park didn't have any of the things I needed (heat protectant for my hair, clips, and exfoliating gloves.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 07:34 PM

That's a shame beth
At least you got out for a bit!

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 07:39 PM

it's fine, I got what I needed in town :)

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 07:39 PM

How's your day been? Well done on driving!

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 07:45 PM

Good :)

Thank you!
Its been ok. Driving always makes me happy

nonperson 10-03-2024 07:48 PM

Yeah I realised I don't think I posted since my birthday. Just been busy I guess... Not feeling so grand tonight though but I thought I'd better check in on you guys

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 07:48 PM

Is town far from you, Beth?

one_step_closer 10-03-2024 07:49 PM

Ninja NP! We're here if you need us.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 07:56 PM

It has been a while np
Sorry you're not feeling great, you know we're always here for you!

tamobhuuta 10-03-2024 07:59 PM

I'm glad you got what you needed Ahimsa.

Hi np! Sorry you're not feeling great.

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 08:02 PM

It's about a 25 minute drive - but so are most places! Where I live though there's one unreliable bus per hour and thats it though.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 08:06 PM

I hear you on the unreliable buses!

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 08:14 PM

Yeah its not ideal!

I could walk to work, which would take an hour (which in summer is fine but not when I'm starting at 7:30am!), I could get the bus there which would be a 45 minute bus into town and another 30 minute one out of town as there isn't a direct one. Or I could drive the 12 minutes there.

long road 10-03-2024 08:17 PM

*waves*
Hey everyone, and a special hello to NP as we haven't seen you in a while!

I've spent the last 2 -3 days on quite a bit of pain, taking my stronger painkillers and napping a lot. FND and concussion do not play nicely together. Plus had a sinus headache on top as hay fever has been playing up.

Haven't caught up properly too out of it as I am too out of it.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 08:22 PM

Driving sounds a lot easier beth!
My walk to work is 30 mins, which is ok but not when it's cold and wet. Which it usually is tbh XD

that sucks jen

Ahimsa 10-03-2024 08:22 PM

Hey LR, I hope you're feeling better soon. Sending love

long road 10-03-2024 08:24 PM

Cold and wet sounds like UK weather Beckie XD

It does indeed suck. Hoping tomorrow I get more of a day. Thanks for love and well wishes Beth.

Cacoethes 10-03-2024 08:38 PM

Exactly Jen XD

Fingers crossed!

nonperson 10-03-2024 09:14 PM

Hi Jen. I know you guys are here, just haven't got the words lately...

My walk to work is about 40 minutes and I start at 7:30 too so I understand, Beth! The drive is like 6 minutes long (in a rush)!

long road 10-03-2024 09:52 PM

Understandable not having the words NP, mental illness does that sometimes. It's always nice to see you here but no pressure!

Cacoethes 11-03-2024 08:31 AM

Morning everyone
