Right then i'm sure you all wnat to know how assessment went - well it lasted for 2.5 hrs :eek: and am now totally exhaustimacated

Covered everything from what kind of birth my mother had???? like how am i supposed to remember that? honestly!! to childhood experiences, why i hated school, why i drank my way through secondary school, what happened on the day i had my first 'breakdown', how i got well after that, what work i did and why, the physical health problems i have, my relationships with family members and OH, what happened at work, when did it all happen, what i do with my day and what i think i need to make me better.......

You all tired yet? :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, getting referred to psychology and have had meds increased yet again - think i might keel over if i have any more but fingers crossed it will do something might be a bit doolally for a few days with the increase mind you!

2.5 hrs - that's a marathon :eek: I bet they asked you about your sex life too - they did me the other day!

Did you sleep well last night with exhaustimacation?

Morning TM

No actually they didn't ask about sex life funny enough, its probably on their list for next time :rotfl::rotfl:

I did sleep well, though decided to go to Mr T's at 12.10 am for some bits and bobs for some strange reason :eek: so i guess not really a full nights sleep as such lol

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!
Incase you didn't notice, thats me trying to sound positive!

I've had a awful few days, but i won't bore you, what matters is i'm back and raring to go! Plus my brother is back from his holidays so i'm hoping he has brought me back something nice :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, FAIRY, hope you managed to sleep well. Thinking of you and lets hope they sort your meds out. I know how important it is to get right. My dad has severe mental health problems and has done for the last 30 odd years. He never had a breakdown for nearly ten years as they finally got his meds spot on, anyway, he had a heart attack last year totally out of the blue (and it was me who saved his life ) and they said it was his long term meds that caused it. So they changed them. Needless to say, within 8 weeks he had a full blown breakdown resulting in us all having an awful christmas. :mad::mad::mad: Anyway, we fought for his normal meds, my dads prepared to take the risk and his specialist said his heart is now fine. He is now back to my "dad" again and not some stranger. Of course the worry is always there that he might have a heart attack again but he sees someone quite often to check things and they now say he is "as strong as an ox". Sorry for rambling.... You can probably tell that i'm a real "daddy's girl". He means the world to me.... Just made myself cry writing that!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway.... back to my steps.... lets see if i can manage the following:

Stash £1 DONE
General tidy up DONE
Hoover upstairs, downstairs and stairs DONE
List 5 items on ebay
Prepare kids tea before i go to work
Do 100 sit ups (throughout the day, no gym today )
Online banking DONE
Go to shops for milk, bread and basics DONE


Just set myself up with a small list today. Think thats all i can face

Ohh and can i ask when did you get the fabric from (the bulk)?? My mam has given me a brand new sewing machine a couple of months ago and its still in the box. Want some cheap fabric i can play with, :cool:

Have a nice day everyone!!!

Definitely i have started a crafting challenge now too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you are more than welcome to join me

I'd love to hear more about what you do - sounds amazing xxxx

Bet your glad the assessment is over, will you need to go back or is that it? they are exhausting, I hate talking about my background so feel for you.

I'll join the challenge, sounds like fun! I started one of the rag dolls yesterday, figured that the expensive fabric I'm buying for the Art Dolls needs to be used up to be cost effective, the fabric I used was an unrepairable 1920's taffeta evening dress, so still has all the buttons and lace on it and lots of fabric, so I spent last night beading a bodice, looks really pretty, should be able to make 3 dolls in total out of the fabric, I have decided that each doll will be different so thats a bit of a challenge.

Todays 10 positives are

1. Finish dolls skirt
2. Put hair on doll
3. walk dog x 3
4. tidy living room
5. put washing out on line and wash bedding as its so nice
6. put away Mr T order in a way that makes sense
7. pay day today so pay mortgage etc
8. quiz night at my kids old school, the head is retiring so we are going as a surprise!
9. Have a lovely bath
   10. pay £1 in HMF and something off CC
   
   Have a lovely Friday everyone, Lie in tomorrow TM6:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
   Sending Hugs to Dinah, Xans mum and Counting Pennies xxxx

Morning Gang!

Sorry to disappoint you all but no exploding snot balls from me :rotfl:However am now reduced to more of a snivel which is a bonus! Manic morning - little man had a huge nappy leak - wet from his boobs to his knees so has been a huge strip bedding/bath/ lots of cuddles morning! Loving all your crafting - wish I was more creative, cross stitch is about as far as I go - trying to do a Thomas pic for Xan's room!

Got a blooming Parking ticket yesterday - parked on a yellow line with perfectly valid blue badge so need to try and appeal that. Had just been to the hospital with Xan and was told there is unlikely to be much improvement in his walking, so to come out to the ticket left me feeling very :mad:

Anyway today I will

• SB up to redeem level
• Mccains
• Check out Ciao
• Start sorting bits for joliday!
• Chase docs re insulin script
• Sort blood form
• Have blood test if queue is not too mahoosive!
• Ebay pics ready for free listing day
• 5 scheduled auctions
• 5 new BINs
• Write parking ticket appeal letter
• DY review
• Finish Book
