Sorry to hear about your cat, Tamo. It can be heartbreaking. *hugs* Take care of yourself. I hope you get to speak to your godmother.

I hope you're less anxious when you're actually at work, Beckie, and have a good shift.

Thanks lindsay
I don't think i will be less anxious.
There's a whole thing going on with a creepy stalker guy.
It is very worrying
I'm anxious that he's going to come in again

How are you?

He's barred right? I hope he doesn't come in. It's not fair that it's making you anxious.

I didn't get to sleep until about 6am because of hay fever. Going on the walking group today so I'm hoping the pollen count isn't high.

Good luck both.

Oh I am sorry that you didn't sleep well last night Lindsay.

I have been out this morning and am currently wondering if I should put something in the slow cooker.

Never mind I have decided on something else that doesn't need a slow cooker.

Slow cooked things are yum.

I have very little room in my fridge after my tesco shopping order yesterday. Unfortunately the slow cooked item would generate left overs and it's too warm for it to be left out. I cant freeze it as I have no room in my freezer.

First world problem, Dawn! What have you decided to have?

How is your day going, Tamo?

I am pleased, turns out our useless psych is leaving!

I hope the new one is better for you then.

Me too. But I don't care much as long as they write my prescriptions - my GP isn't allowed.

Barred guy came in (he didn't come in yesterday)
He wasn't happy about being barred but didn't make too much of a fuss.
I was literally shaking!
Hopefully he won't try and come in again.
I am so so very tired

Definitely a first world problem. I had Chinese style pork steak and chips. Finished off with a white chocolate magnum.

Morning everyone!

Morning, how are you?

I'm ok thanks.
Glad i got all my outside things done this morning.
It's pouring down!

How are you?

It's brilliantly sunny here and very hot - 22 degrees!

Grey here, quite muggy.

Only 19° here
It's not cold. Just cloudy!

It's definitely hot here today. It's currently 27 degrees.

My weather report is cloudy and mild.

How is everyone's day going?

Only 23° here
And very cloudy!

I'm ok. Just very bored.
How are you guys?

Boredom is not good. Have you tried reading any of the books I sent?

I didn't get up till 12.55pm which is way too late and I hate myself and am worried. Got all my housework done though.

I haven't! I will start one now!
For some reason my brain didn't think reading was an option
Silly brain

Well done for getting your housework done
I'm sorry you got up late though

I hope you can concentrate and enjoy at least one of the books but liking all of them would of course be better. You don't really read much do you? Maybe your brain was thinking about the things you usually do.

I wish I could sort myself out with the getting out of bed thing. I'm trying to tell myself it was because the night before I was up all night with hay fever so maybe I needed this sleep. Still not really acceptable in my view though.

Did anyone notice having more light on the longest day?

Thanks :)
I haven't tried to read in ages
My concentration isn't fantastic!
It's sad because i was ALWAYS reading when i was a kid!

If you were up all night i would think that's a good reason for sleeping in!

I didn't notice.
I'm not the most observant of people tbh lol

Reading is a good escape.

I don't know if I noticed any more light either. I stick to my bed time schedule and it might have been a longer light while I was in bed.

How has your sleep been recently?

It is

My sleep has been hit and miss
Still getting up really early for some reason
Think that's just what i do now!
Constantly exhausted though!

I'm sorry about your cat, Tamo <3 I hope you Got to have the call with your godmother today.

Dawn, that dinner sounds delicious!!! And boo, to 27 degrees!!!!

Lindsay, i Think it's okay when things slip a bit every now and then. I know it's difficult to not be overly critical when it's yourself but i Think that maybe you're being a bit harsh on yourself???

Busy as a bee, Beckie!! I hope you enjoy the gig tomorrow :)

I feel like ****. Went to Rammstein concert yesterday. 40.000 people attended. I have never been more sober and yet i have never felt so drunk after a gig. I didn't consume anything while there so absolutely no one could have drugged me.
I am seriously getting too old for this ****!!! I love the concerts when the music starts blasting and people go crazy. Everything else, i hate!!! Anxiety made me smoke more than half a packet of cigarettes. It's gonna take me weeks to recover from this. I am a wreck right now.
But hey, i was roasted by fire, made half Way deaf from evil german heavy metal and swooned over the entire band. Still worth it!!!

Thank you! :)

40,000 people is insane!
The Olympic Park (where the concert is tomorrow) is 60,000 capacity which is a bit scary!
Sounds like you enjoyed the actual concert though which is good!
I agree that all the other stuff that goes with it is anxiety provoking! I am very anxious about those things tomorrow!

Morning everyone!

Morning all.

Has anyone had a pm from a user asking for money? I have and reported it to Jenna.

Hey Dawn

Yeah i had a weird message.
Didn't read the whole thing as it was very obviously spam right from the start so i didn't bother!

Yeah it was an attempt at getting money from people. Dont send peeps!

There's so much spam around these days i think it's rare for people to fall for it now.
My nanny is 81 and she gets the phone calls and hangs right up on them.
But i guess some vulnerable people will still be taken in by it.
These scammers are disgusting

Yes I know someone who doesn't know how to use the Internet. She doesn't know what Google is or have an email address. When she gets transferred onto universal credit then she will have to use the Internet and I worry that she will fall for the scammers.

I have a call blocking phone which means anyone who isn't in my contacts has to announce themselves so I know who's calling. It stops the majority of scammers and I can block their number.

Also my dad had a scam text on Saturday. Fortunately I was able to tell him it was a scam one but not everyone in their 70s would know.

Unfortunately you need the Internet to do most things these days.
My nanny attempted to have Internet and a laptop. She did a computer course at her library but she just can't get to grips with it!

My phone comes up with 'suspected spam' if they call so i manage to avoid them. I don't get many anyway

I just read that scam PM too. For a while I thought it was FROM Jenna so was going to reply with "Wtf, have you been hacked?" but then I eventually cottoned on. *eye roll*

I'm having one of those days anyway where I'd be an easy target for scammers...!

Hey np!

I miss the days of the fun spam we would get here.
Multi coloured dog poo bags, ugg boots at discount prices....

I think I got that PM too, I forwarded it to Jenna.

Fun spam was very fun. How on earth did we not fall for it? :laugh:

I know lindsay!! XD

Have you left for hella mega yet? How long does it last? Are you staying there for a bit?

My same friend who went to all the MCR gigs is going to hella mega too. I don't know how she finds the time, she's a psychologist. Maybe she's a private one.

I'm waiting for the train to kings cross now!
Gates open 4pm, estimated finish 10:30pm
So a long time! So glad i got seated ticket. I would NOT be able to stand for that long!

Awesome!
Maybe! Unless she saves up all her holiday time for concerts?

I have discovered today that my brother is going to hella too but at Huddersfield not London. He has been a Green Day fan since like forever and played Weezer at the weekend that's just been.

Awesome!
Yeah same. I remember when my step dad bought me American Idiot by green day on cd. Played the **** out of it!

Green Day are my favourite band who are playing. I hope you enjoy yourself.

I've seen Green Day live a couple of times. ****ing awesome! So so so good live.

I'm so jealous =(

Apparently Green Day also makes everyone start using the F word =P

I am a firm believer in the feeling that swearing is good for the soul!!!
