Daily Thread Sunday 13th November

Morning all, before and after.

Feeling very down this morning. I have Bipolar Disorder and my mood crashed down yesterday after having been on a high for a couple of weeks. I know I need to get back to normal but the 'bump' is never fun when you hit it. I looked at my finances yesterday and realised I've been spending without thinking and have got myself into a tiny bit of debt (ie less than £100) so I need to nip that in the bud before I get myself back into trouble. I get my pension on Tuesday so will sort it out and batten the hatches for a lean month. Just what I need on the approach to Christmas :S

I baked bread yesterday (partly 'cause I needed it, partly 'cause it always cheers me up) and it's delicious. Dinner is a sausage and bean casserole. Not much else going on here - I'll tidy house and tidy self before I go to Mass tonight and otherwise try and chill out with my book or a movie.

Hope everyone else has a peaceful Sunday. And remembers.

Morning everyone

Been a quiet but productive weekend so far. I finished my felt gingerbread men for hanging on the tree (pics on homepage). Want to have a go at making a bauble shaped one as I have the Sizzix cutter and some fab funky coloured felt. Just need some ric rac or something to embellish it with
This afternoon will be spent making onion chutney <drools> I am hoping I have enough jars to make two lots although I don't fancy chopping 4lb of onions to make it :eek:
Tea will probably be a roast as usual.

morning

donny - i tried a bit of toast this morning. didnt stay down for long

i am up and dressed and drinking but i so want to crawl back into bed. the more i drink, the worse i seem to feel. kept waking in the night feeling as if i need to wee but not actually needing to. now have the dull ache... i've finished anti-b's for chest infection so think i have another infection. dont think chest infection has gone either as i am still coughing like mad and feeling wheezy

i think i need putting down

ETA the gingerbread men look great :T

Lou - can you tolerate soup at all? It could contain the nutrients you need but being liquid may be a bit more bearable to get down your neck? Sending vibes to send off grotty infection. Thing is if you're not eating but still taking drugs that may well be making you puke. Sorry it's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am pleased though that you are at least drinking. there is stuff called complan that you can buy in Boots, sort of a meal in a drink good for building up the infirm. Might be worth a try?? xxx

No I haven't Mind you I imagine it's akin to me having to drunk prune juice when I was pregnant :eek::eek: Holding your nose whilst drinking is not the way to go

Morning all,

The weather here has changed drastically, it is definitely winter now.

Uolypool sending you loads of positive vibes to you and your family.

I have had another totally unproductive day and achieved very little. I did however have to prepare some things for work tomorrow, but thats about it for me today. Cant seem to bring myself to do much else.

Hope everyone has a lovely relaxing Sunday.
