Morning everyone

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Afternoon.

Thanks everyone. I'll be leaving for my appointment soon.

Miss you too, Jen, but just do what you can.

How are you today, Beckie and Tamo?

I hope your appointment went well osc. I am ok thanks.

Hi everyone
Hope your appointment was OK lindsay

I'm ok thanks. It's L's day off so we went to the retail park, went to asda, had lunch and then I went to see if my GP letter was ready (it isn't) and fed Colin Robinson and sorted my meds.

How are you tamo?

Anything nice happening today, Tamo?

Do you have things to do this evening, Beckie?

The GP said she thinks my pain and stiffness is muscular but she can't give me any pain relief because of the stomach issues I had with the last painkillers. She said what I need is physio but the waiting list is really long. So not the best appointment. I just need to continue the way things are for now.

Just looking after S when L goes to rugby later

Did she refer you to physio?

I hope S is as calm as possible for you.

I think I've been on the physio waiting list for a while.

He's just been playing outside so far, so that's fine!
I'll try and get him in for bed later. But L knows that if he doesn't want to move, he will NOT be moving. So I'm not overly stressed about making sure he's in bed for when she's back (though i will obviously try!)

Could you call them to chase it up? Or ask for confirmation?

Evening all

I'm home from work, just a half day to go tomorrow and then I've got 11 days off :) (apart from 3 quizzes and 4 bar shifts!) But 11 days off from my main job.

How is everyone?

Hey beth!
How are you?
Anything planned for your days off?

Other than the pub shifts, I'm seeing a friend on Tuesday, I have to take the car to the garage on Wednesday so I'm stuck there until it's sorted, and the cats have an appointment on Thursday, and then I'm getting my hair cut too.

Other than that, the plan is to catch up on the washing and house tidying ;) Nothing too exciting really.

Sometimes it's nice to not do exciting things! I do hope you manage to get some self care time in there too though!

I hope you enjoy your quieter days Ahimsa.

How were things with S Cacoethes?

Waiting lists are frustrating.

I saw the psychologist today.

Things weren't great. I summarised in my rv.
All is fine now though.

How was it tamo?

Morning everyone

Morning all. Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. I woke up late and then was busy. I broke a glass this morning.

Just done a phone call to the council. Urgh.

That's never fun
Did it go OK?

Morning guys x

It seemed to go ok. The council are sending me out a new council tax bill. Didn't realise when you transferred onto uc you had to pay council tax even if you're incapable of work.

Morning tamobhuuta how are you?

Morning tamo
How are you?

Council tax is such a pain! I resent paying it tbh XD

I'm ok thanks. Had a surprising ward rounds - they want me to go to rehab.

How are you feeling about that suggestion?

Hi everyone. I was with my friend for quite a while today which is why I'm just on here now.

I thought I have always paid council tax? But I wouldn't know for sure either way because I'm terrible at understanding money stuff.

What have you been doing today, Beckie?

Are you taking some time to think about things, Tamo? Do you have people you can talk through things with?

The psych is back in on Monday I think so I will be discussing it with everyone until then!

Did you have a nice time lindsay?

I'm just back from work. Exhausted!

Morning all. Beaten Beckie again :laugh:

Also Lindsay I think the council tax system is different in Scotland. For example your water bill is included in your council tax and you only have one water company for the whole of Scotland. Whereas in England and Wales our water is billed separately and not included in our council tax. There's also several water companies and where you live depends what water company you fall under. For example I am under a different water company to my parents. Unlike gas and electricity you can't change water company. So that may explain why you have always had to pay council tax bill whereas if you were on an older benefit it was included as part of your benefits package in England and Wales.

Morning everyone, how're we doing?

Day 1 of annual leave (from main job) and I've had the most confusing morning. I got told by the GP that I needed a review for my long term health condition, and I rang and said that other than ADHD, I dont have a long term health condition.

They said I needed monitoring bloods for my ADHD meds, which fair enough. So I booked an appointment and went in, and the nurse says I'm down for my thyroid bloods but she doesn't know why as I'm not on any thyroid medications. Correct.

She says my ADHD med monitoring ones are September so we can't do them, but she can test my thyroid if I want? I basically said "I'm here, you're here, there's a history of thyroid issues in my family, it can't do any harm to check so we may as well and then it's not a complete waste of an appointment!"

The plan for the rest of the day is
- have a bath
- tidy the kitchen
- put the washing away and put the next load on
- sort my car tyre out
- fresh bedding
- do the washing up
- mow the grass
- I'm seeing my friend at 3
- pub shift at 5

Morning everyone.

I didn't know that, Dawn. How are you today?

GPs get things wrong a lot I find, even though everything is electronic. I've been told I needed reviews a couple of times and then get a text saying actually I don't. My blood test results were read wrongly by someone in hospital once and they thought I had low potassium and made me drink those horrible salty drinks only to then realise the my potassium was fine on the initial blood test. I hope at least having the thyroid blood tests is helpful, Beth. Good luck with your tasks and I hope you have a nice time with your friend.

I'm in Norwich so didn't have time to log on XD

You're visiting your Nanny?

I am indeed!

Afternoon all.

I am ok thanks Lindsay except I got bitten by something last night and am now sporting a plaster on my arm.

Oh now annoying, is it at least a colourful plaster?

My blood test has bruised :(

We're getting there with my list -
- have a bath - done
- tidy the kitchen - half done
- sort the cats litter trays and water fountain - done
- put the washing away and put the next load on - done
- sort my car tyre out
- fresh bedding - the current bedding is washed and drying outside, I've not put new on yet though, so half done?
- do the washing up
- mow the grass - half done, I've done the back, but not the front - that may have to be tomorrow now.
- I'm seeing my friend at 3
- pub shift at 5

I've also been to Sainsbury's and Argos :)

Aw owie insig.

Well done Ahimsa.

No Beth I only have only boring plasters.

Back from visiting my nanny :)

Did you enjoy yourself Beckie?

That sounds annoying, Dawn. Is the bite itchy?

I hope wherever you got the blood taken from isn't sore and heals soon, Beth. You're getting through your tasks plus extra!

How are you today, Tamo?

Did you have a nice time with your Nanny, Beckie?

It's itchy when I don't have the plaster on Lindsay.

I did thanks guys!
Shattered now though!

Bites are so annoying!

How are you lindsay?

evening all

Morning guys!

Afternoon all. I am boiling hot but otherwise ok. I am about to watch Doctor Who.

Oh gawd Rylan is on Doctor Who. I can't stand him so gawd knows how long I will last.

Good afternoon all. My task today is to wash my hair.
