Morning All

So far I've

Unloaded TD
Emptied WM
Reloaded TD
Put dishes away
Washed more dishes
Took recycling out

Need to go and reload the WM now and do DS's breakfast.

Vanilla - hugs - take all the support that's offered - thinking of you.

I need to get loads done today as we go away Saturday, I need to finish packing, I've still got an ironing mountain that isn't going to get done before I go away, the house needs sorting and silly me said everyone could come here for tea tomorrow night - we normally go to my mum and dad's but because mum's on jury service I said I'd do tea and everyone could come here.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Morning all

Still struggling to find much GUAG but the state of the place downstairs is still getting to me so the living room will be getting done this morning.

Also have a few bits to ebay so if I manage to get that done to it will be positive.

Need a cuppa first though.

Morning everyone, just a quickie before I head off to therapy in a bit..ugh!! Not looking forward to it today for some reason. Probably cos my mood is a bit blagh!! Oh and the sun isn't shining

Bit annoyed with my care co-ordinator at the moment as she hadn't been to see me for a month after cancelling my last appointment. Hadn't heard from her either so bit the bullet and phoned her the other day to see when she was coming round next. Well apparently she hadn't been to see me as there was various emergencies to deal with and she was also on annual leave. Now why couldn't she have picked up the phone at some point inbetween all this and told me. She knows how I am regarding my paranoia and how important it is for me to have unexpected change in my routine. If she had told me in advance I would have been okay with it, well up to a point. Hmm looks like I will have to have a wee chat to her about it next week when she comes out. Oh well!!

LW I'm doing okay honey, the usual up and downs. More downs than ups at the moment. Probably hormones mucking around with my mood stabilisers..lol Trying not to isolate myself too much but I tend to not realise I am doing it, it just happens..lol How are you doing hon?

Vanilla honey, hope you are okay. Sending you plenty of hugs and coping vibes. :A

Hugs and love to everyone especially Toots, LW, LL and also Jojo and Rachel

OK ladies, HUGS to everyone who needs them. I hope you all have better days today.

Vanilla - you are being very strong, and doing very well. Don't apologise for 'taking up the thread', there is no need. Onwards and upwards and big HUGS for you!

Apartment is looking nice, and OH is impressed and pleased as he's not very mobile at the moment with his bad back. I think that is what prompted the take away treat, so at least I didn't have to cook again. And we tried a new place. Best one yet, as the Korma's here tend to be really bland. This one was really yummy!

Thanks for this thread and the support
