    HHC 7.45am ?

    Count me in hon.. I need to get in the shower.

    OMG I have just seen two male blackbirds in my garden, well I say garden it was more like on the patio peering at me through the door. One was definately smaller than the other and I think it could possibly be a juvenile male blackbird of the bigger bird. It's strange because I have never seen two males together as I thought they always fought each other if in the same garden.

    Natty - glad you had a good time despite the walk, I enjoyed the photo updates!
    Toots - Has the change of home given you some extra motivation? You seem so very productive atm.

    Kitchen is very much done, looks a lot better for it but it took all day yesterday. DR will be next. I just need George to get off my knee so that I can get on.

    Anyway back to normality – lol. I have my care-worker coming out today so I have to make sure the living room and kitchen are nice and tidy etc..

    Also have my STAIRWAYS group this thursday and the psychiatrist on Friday. Not looking forward to Fridays appointment as she will be changing my mood stabilisers over to anti-psychotics on a gradual dose, now I have lowered my dosage of the other tablets. Should be an interesting time as D has already noticed and mentioned that I am rollercoasting with moods again almost to the point I was at before I was diagnosed with the Bipolar..oh great!! Why can't I ever notice this.. So all in all a busy week, oh I also have kidlet duty tomorrow for my friend T. And here was me thinking that Wednesday was going to be my "quiet" day..fat chance!!
    Natty big hugs honey, and please don't beat yourself up about not noticeing these things. You live it so don't see it at times.

    We've had another busy night here and another trip to A&E, where we waited over 2 hours and still weren't seen so we left. CPN due out today and to be honest i'll be glad to see him. Didn't get to bed until near 3am so i think it will be a very slow day. From now on i don't think we'll bother with the A&E or out of hours cause there all crap.

    Right i best get the kids ready for school...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all :wave:

    Good luck to any Scottish flybabies sitting their Standard Grades.

    The sun has disappeared. I'll never get the backs of my calves brown now :(

    I fancy going to Berwick Upon Tweed today. Might have to persuade OH as I think he has plans for the garden. He is finally building my greenhouse, yay!!

    Cuppa first and then I'll bash on.
