Enjoy your quiet day :)

I'm at cmht and have just drank a load of water prior to my blood test.

Cacoethes 22-07-2024 11:23 AM

Thanks tamo

Quiet days can be nice

That's good tamo. Definitely helps!

tamobhuuta 22-07-2024 11:58 AM

Water was successful!

Cacoethes 22-07-2024 12:26 PM

Excellent!
I am currently battling with the DVLA!

not_so_insig 22-07-2024 12:51 PM

Hope you're able to get it sorted Beckie.

tamobhuuta 22-07-2024 12:54 PM

Hope it's not too frustrating Cacoethes!

Cacoethes 22-07-2024 01:00 PM

Thanks guys
It was frustrating and now I'm panicking and don't really know what's going on!

tamobhuuta 22-07-2024 01:02 PM

Did they not just send you a sparkly new one when you passed your test?

Cacoethes 22-07-2024 02:04 PM

Nope. Because they need to double check with my psych whether she thinks I'm ok to drive or not. She is, I have been assessed by her, but it has to go through the whole process which can take forever

one_step_closer 22-07-2024 02:35 PM

Hi everyone.

Glad getting your blood taken went smoothly, Tamo.

Hope all your appointments go well, Beckie, and the DVLA stuff gets sorted soon.

Hope you have a nice relaxed day, Dawn, and get to do whatever you feel like doing.

I went on the bus to get some shopping and it arrived half an hour late so I feel annoyed at how much time was wasted standing waiting.

tamobhuuta 22-07-2024 02:59 PM

Think of all that fresh air you got osc! That is annoying though.

How are you getting on with the DVLA Cacoethes?

Cacoethes 22-07-2024 03:44 PM

Thanks lindsay
Just waiting at the GP surgery now. They're running late

The DVLA thing did not get sorted. Literally just a waiting game, but time is limited so it's a stressful waiting game.

That's so annoying lindsay!
I do not miss public transport!

one_step_closer 22-07-2024 06:11 PM

The fresh air of passing vehicles! I miss having a car.

Hope the GP surgery wasn't running too late, Beckie.

tamobhuuta 23-07-2024 08:18 AM

Morning all.

Cacoethes 23-07-2024 10:47 AM

Morning!
How are you?

one_step_closer 23-07-2024 10:57 AM

Morning both, how are you?

My smoke alarms sounded at 5.10am and I thought one of my worst nightmares had come true and my house was on fire but then they stopped. They only sounded for as long as they would have if I had pressed the button to test them. I got up and checked everywhere but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. I have emailed the person I'm allowed to contact at the fire service because I have some questions and worries.

tamobhuuta 23-07-2024 11:21 AM

I can see why that's worrying osc. Emailing your official person sounds like the right thing to do.

I've been to Mass, I didn't feel very well physically due to stuffiness and periodness.

one_step_closer 23-07-2024 11:38 AM

Sorry you didn't feel well at Mass, Tamo. Can you do things to make you feel at least a bit better now? Painkillers etc?

tamobhuuta 23-07-2024 11:45 AM

I've had painkillers and having a cup of tea. I'm going to try to brave the shower and wash my hair. Do you have any plans?

not_so_insig 23-07-2024 11:52 AM

Hello all.

one_step_closer 23-07-2024 12:08 PM

Hope that helps, Tamo and you manage to have your shower.

I'm just waiting to leave to go to the chemist and then the colouring group. Need to do a washing when I get back.

Hi Dawn, how are you?

not_so_insig 23-07-2024 12:17 PM

I am ok apart from some mild diarrhoea:-( . Contemplating whether to wash my hair today or tomorrow morning as I have a appointment with the nurse tomorrow. Also I am having a to good to go bag gotta pick it up this afternoon. It's at a new shop so I am unsure where the shop is located.

not_so_insig 23-07-2024 12:24 PM

Having looked at Google maps the store is located near to the bus station. So it's where I roughly thought it was.

Cacoethes 23-07-2024 12:42 PM

That sounds concerning lindsay!
Hope you can get it sorted

Hope you feel better soon tamo and dawn!

I have arrived early to work. So sitting in Costa.
There's a super annoying diversion down my road. So I have to go on a 10-15 min detour, as opposed to the 3 minutes down the road I need to go down :plain:
Only for 5 days, but highly inconvenient. I'll need to do the detour literally every time I have to go anywhere at all! Important work though I guess.

not_so_insig 23-07-2024 01:16 PM

Thanks Beckie. I have decided to wash my hair today. Hopefully my diarrhoea will have cleared up by later on as it's minor.

Oh no regarding the diversion! They have closed the road in my village for 35 working days. Fortunately it is not a major one just a pain if you happen to live on it as there's a diversion too. Luckily for me I don't. But in another village there's a 10 months of roadworks going on which unfortunately the bus goes through so it's a pain. Have only taken the bus once so idk how badly the buses are effected.

tamobhuuta 23-07-2024 02:39 PM

Oh no for detours!

not_so_insig 23-07-2024 03:21 PM

I have managed to wash and dry my hair so hopefully I will be ok to go to town.

Cacoethes 23-07-2024 04:49 PM

Well done Dawn!

Detours are indeed a pain!
Gonna feel even worse when I leave work at 9pm!

one_step_closer 23-07-2024 05:27 PM

There are always loads of roadworks here, at least they're doing something about the roads or whatever I guess.

Hope work is going ok, Beckie.

Dawn has a new signature pic!

tamobhuuta 23-07-2024 07:41 PM

So she has! I washed my hair too insig :) but i let it air dry.

Cacoethes 24-07-2024 07:55 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 24-07-2024 08:22 AM

Hi Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 24-07-2024 08:31 AM

I'm ok thanks.
Bit tired! How are you?

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 08:57 AM

Hello all. I am awake early because I have an appointment with the nurse today. That's if it doesn't get cancelled again.

Cacoethes 24-07-2024 09:17 AM

Hopefully not!

I'm at a nurse appointment currently. Well, in the waiting room! Having a blood test

tamobhuuta 24-07-2024 11:02 AM

Appointments for everyone. I've got therapy at 12.

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 11:37 AM

Hope it all goes ok Beckie and tamobhuuta. I have had my jab.

tamobhuuta 24-07-2024 12:00 PM

Did it go ok insig?

one_step_closer 24-07-2024 12:15 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope all of your appointments went well/go well.

What are you doing today apart from appointments?

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 12:45 PM

I am putting my recycling out. It's ordinary bin week this week so will be doing that too.

My jab went ok tamobhuuta except it hurt a lot. But I have found the more it hurts with jabs the more effective it is so I don't mind :-D .

Cacoethes 24-07-2024 12:50 PM

My appointment was OK thanks! Got blood first time, despite forgetting to drink more!

Work in 10 mins

tamobhuuta 24-07-2024 01:35 PM

Glad to hear it insig and Cacoethes. Hope you enjoy work Cacoethes.

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 03:55 PM

I have done some cleaning and some laundry. I have also put the recycling boxes out and the ordinary bin too.

one_step_closer 24-07-2024 04:21 PM

I have sorted out my bins too. Who still has RYL bin night?

Yay for getting blood first time! Hope work goes well.

Did you get on ok with therapy, Tamo? Weren't you supposed to be finished?

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 05:20 PM

Interested to know Beckie's bin night as she's moved now.

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 06:49 PM

I am busy cleaning my flat as the boiler man is coming tomorrow afternoon. I hope he comes relatively early. Moved everything from the table underneath the boiler, just gotta tidy up the bedroom mainly as that's the worst room. Putting a streaming service on so that I have noise whilst I work.

tamobhuuta 24-07-2024 07:46 PM

Therapy was fine but I did the homework wrong so I have to do it again this week! We paused the self confidence module to do the voices one.

not_so_insig 24-07-2024 09:30 PM

Glad therapy was ok tamobhuuta but oh dear at homework being wrong.

tamobhuuta 25-07-2024 08:52 AM

Morning all.

Cacoethes 25-07-2024 09:11 AM

Morning everyone!
