Just needed to be heard for a little while

MU, how exciting! Keep safe and have a great time.

WaS, the surveyor will probably be lovely - the company usually screen candidates carefully. He will also be very used to houses in different states.

dibuzz, what a gorgeous photo. Glad you got some sleep over the weekend.

Have a great day, virtual family.

Always have my mobile, I use it as an alarm.
Had my kindle next to the bed both nights.
Have got new curtains but they are still in the packet.
I don't have a watch or clock.

Hey, very self indulgent, but I'd like to tell you all I feel better than usual today.

Last night after a really lovely massage from fir we listen to a meditation ( we sound very hippyish) to go to sleep and I just couldn't get comfortBle, and my tight back, that fir had rubbed and rubbed, wouldn't go flat on the bed. I got a pillow and put it half way down my back , below my bra line, and got a little click and suddenly felt a little better and good lie flat.

I bet an osteopath could get great noises out of me today if I could get a clucky click with a pillow in bed. ( I'm not meant to have spinal manipulation any more , but by heck I miss it, little else feels as good)

My shoulders which have become tight and hunched habitually, are settled a touch lower, and walking felt more comfortable this morning and I feel just....better. Now, if every dodgy bit of my spine felt so relieved and my other joints attended too, I wonder how I'd feel!

Could you try leaving your mobile and kindle in another room, just to see what happens?
And any other electrical equipment, like TV, phone, etc.
it may just help.

Public place, tell a real life person, check in when safe home,


Amazed how many of the friends I have who blind date do not meet in a public place.

I met my husband on a blind date 43 years ago

We went out with another couple though, we were not alone.

Just to repeat LIR's good advice, and I wouldn't give away too much private information either.

Have a good time and I hope he's all you want him to be x

I have my friend on call to check in with and we are meeting in a public place I will be safe!

And I'm not in a rush to rush thing if that makes sense, just want to see if we get along as well in person before I think about it some more

I am excited for you, MU. (Now I am married, I have to live through other people!)

Good Afternoon all! Good luck MU, how exciting!

Hahahahaha, I shall try not to do anything (too) illegal to the surveyor!

I have been putting the finishing touches to cleaning and tidying up and now my food order has arrived a day early. Of course, it did. Now I have a huge box to unpack! But plenty of time until 3.30pm yet so having a coffee for 5 minutes.

Hello, Was! Didn't realise he wasn't coming until 3.30. What a pain!

Can you tell me what chilli liquorice is like, and what you use it in?
Is it a paste? Or is it liquorice sticks with the added flavour of chilli?
I've asked some friends, but they've never heard of it!

Sometime soon someone I know and trust is coming to stay with me. She never uses forums and I had to explain things like Rofl to her.

I was thinking of showing her this thread as an example of what forums can mean, but I am aware I have put stuff she might find uncomfortable to think about in connection to me on here.

She has a connection with art as therapy, and I think to see we have a residential artist would particularly capture her interest.
