Morning campers..

Sorry didn't get back earlier - had an episode at my therapy group which sort of threw me. Then I had the psychiatrist on Friday who has put me on another mood stabiliser while withdrawing from the other one I am on. Unfortunately it has made me a bit hyper/chatty/flitting from one thing to another/crashing rather quickly. Woah that's major emotional change there..how scary it looks when written down..lol. Poor D had terrible trouble reigning me in when we went shopping yesterday..lol. I was bouncing around so much in the end he let me get on with it. Trouble is he had to keep removing things from the trolley..lol Am a bit quieter today, thankfully, but I still feel a bit fuzzy headed.

Got a fantastic book out of the library yesterday - Borderline Personality Disorder for Dummies. Yeah I know bad title, but believe me it is so enlightening. It was a bit scary seeing me on the pages, if you see what I mean. But at least it was in plain english and I could understand most of it.

Have a fair bit todo today - have a shopping list as long as my arm to buy things in town, plus I really must pot up my seedlings that arrived last week from my vegbox farm. I think I will put these in the veg plot, even though they aren't veggies - they are flowers..lol. It will help pollination etc..

Must remember to reign myself in with the money and not get to the state I was in last month and not have a bean to my name after paying all my bills..

Vanilla did you get my pm hon, got a bit worried.
Happy Belated Birthday Triker. Hope you had a good day.
Hugs and love to everyone, especially to LW, Toots and LL, hope you are all doing okay. Off to shower and then get shopping.. :rotfl:

Natty ~ you take care, if things with your meds don't settle down, I would suggest a trip to the dr to discuss it with them.

Ebay stuff is done, well enough for now.
Hovering round and floors are done
OH has gone to work.

Off to find something to do.

Good morning
I haven't done much so far, but I am up, washed, dressed & breakfasted. Creatures have been inspected! Fish are enjoying their new home, 2nd ladybird has hatched, caterpillars growing, dog fed & cat asleep (as usual). Dh & DS dispatched to the bottle bank.

It did rain last night (not as heavy as previous night), but the ceiling is still up :j Our bedroom is about the only room that doesnt need decorating, so really don't want plaster falling off :eek: And we are not covered for accidental damage to ceilings, only 'standard' accidental damage :mad: (as I recently discovered when DH put his foot through the ceiling - luckily only cost £20 to fix anyway ).
DD's room looks wonderful :j I should have posted before & after pics - truly miraculous! Hopefully she will feel calm & relaxed, and do some revision!!

Minion is baking cookies - I daren't look in case the kitchen has been destroyed, so I am lounging around with the cat enjoying every moment of my laziness.

I wonder if having the place sparkly is having an effect on her? Or she is just aware that her birthday is 3rd June?
