Natty68

Evening all, well I was up reasonably bright and early this morning..lol. And it was so nice to see the sun shining that I put my dark pink washing out on the line to dry It was so lovely to see it on the line

Skint healing vibes for you sweetie, and a gentle hug.
Kazw gentle hugs to you too honey, hope you are okay after your car shunt. Hope the police caught up with the guy that did it and give him what he deserves, especially for driving with failed brakes..bet you he hasn't got insurance either, or an MOT.
Mumto5 hope you had a good time at Westfield today Hope you didn't spend too much...

(((HUGS))) Natty it's a horrible feeling, I know only too well. When they wrote to me, they had a totally wrong phone number for me, so Mr LW called them, and also told them I'm phone-phobic so they were NOT to call me, he'd give them his mobile number. Advance warning, the form, when you get it, is very daunting. They gave me a month to fill it in and get it back to them, I assume you'll get a similar time to do yours; take your time with it, and if you can, get some help. Mr LW filled mine in, and under the bit where it said "if you are filling this form in for someone, why are you doing it for them" (not quoted precisely, but that was what they were asking, iyswim) he put something to the effect of "My wife cannot hold a pen for long enough to fill out your narrative boxes, also the form was too stressful for her to cope with".
You'll be fine, Natty; you know where my pm box is if you need a friend - I believe Dragon is well-versed in these wretched forms, too.:o

Many thanks LW, I will say that I sort of lost yesterday. And yes I'm ashamed to say I didn't get showered or do my hair yesterday, I just got dressed and that wasn't until 6.30pm. But I made up for it today and had a long soak in the bath. Anyway went to the Dr's and that was a total mess up.. I had asked to see my dr and it was confirmed over the phone, but when I went in there they said it was with another dr. Was told that my dr could actually fit me in, so sat and waited but then the original dr called me.. Well as you can imagine I did not do too well at all and spent most of the appointment in tears, which was not conclusive to trying to explain to him what I wanted. Bless him he was brilliant and the appt actually lasted just over half an hour :A Talked to him about everything that has been going on, how I am feeling and other stuff. The upshot of it is he is putting me forward for secondary care psychotherapy, has increased my antidepressants to the maximum dosage you can have and has sent me home with a letter to DH to request he takes charge of my medications as I am not stable enough to keep them myself...:eek: Told me not to worry about the forms, I have enough going to on to back me up etc.. Which was something the chemist/pharmacist also said when I was in there. They gave me a lovely cup of tea while waiting for my meds, I think they saw I was still upset plus they also know me too..so that helps.

I may be going to try my hand at replacing the kitchen ceiling.. we have a bathroom leak

Piggers we lowered our kitchen ceiling instead of replacing it, which was actually easier. If you can fix the leak maybe this could be considered..it's less messy Although you do have to have very high ceilings, we have 8ft ones and lowering it by 2 inches has hardly made a difference.

Yowsers.

Hugs to burnt and bumped flyladies, do take it easy, this is a marathon not a sprint! More of a meander in my case...

Had lots of paid stuff to deal with so not an awful lot happening fly wise. Also took DS swimming - inlaws usually take him so my first time, proud mummy moment. Given the football debacle, I wasn't expecting great things but OMG he just went in, happy as larry, and got stuck in. I sat in the gallery. He waved once or twice but mostly listened to the instructor, and did lots of floating on his back, which he was told he was really good at. Aww.

Morning all. Up early again. Going off list now as I need to dust BR, will then have a nice soak in the bath before doing today's list as I need to be in a relaxed frame of mind to tackle all the new systems I'll be building at the paid stuff today. Mon/Tues lists are up to date.

Catch you all later.

Got myself in a right tangle not been to sleep yet- today is the plague of raining frogs of biblical proportions. Last night I got out my ID and empty meds boxes out ready (if I get in a state and loose my meds while I am out it will be a nightmare) found the ESA appointment letter and my appointment is 9am :eek::eek::eek: not 10am as I had mistakenly remembered from when I looked at the letter 3 weeks ago when it arrived.

Hit myself with a tonne of frogs remembering a vague thought that I not quite formulated properly when the letter arrived about arranging and finding extra cash for DS AND Skint Baby childcare to go to appointment.

Not to mention to comply with Ofsted Skint Baby would need to be registered with the nursery before she could be left there, and she has not even had a trial session or so much as a cuddle from the nursery nurses or SENCO that work there. Or the practical things like expressed milk and Skint Baby is still suffering nippl£ confusion with a bottle so feeding her is not going to be a happy experience for her.

99.9% of me wants to pull an abort and deal with the economic fallout when they stop my payments later, but the sensible 0.1% of me realises there is no leeway on the money merry go round to deal with it later and end up defaulting on something (and then choosing which one or more to default on with the least long term consequences)

So taking the two young Skints to the appointment is my only option, although the ESA booklet says not to take them.

Right, first order of flying - get some tea down my neck and get Skint Baby changed and fed now, and see if I can get out of the house by 7.30 :eek::eek::eek:
