Marshmellows are probably in the kitchen somewhere!
I get overwhelmed easily at the moment so am avoiding it until OH comes home0 -
I just ventured in and the kitchen fairies did it! The sink is clear!
So the trick, katy is to totally ignore the kitchen and pretend nothing is wrong (kitchen fairies don't like to be thought of or disturbed) and then they will whisk round and fix everything! It works, honest!

Katy721, apologies if I've got the wrong person, but do I remember sharing commiserations on the pet bit of the forum a while back with particular regard to dogs that send their long suffering owner's blood pressure through the roof?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I think that may be Little Sod you are thinking of Elsien!
He is still a monkey, although slightly overshadowed currently by foster dog who is even worse!
How is Gitdog getting on?0 -
Ha ha ha! I'm just catching up on the whole day's events - quite a marathon and :hello: to all the people who are new to the thread
I was GOING to say - who wants 2.4 children and a dog when you can have a whole thread like this with thousands of lurkers and a real community hereAnd just as I was about to say it, along come 2 more dogs!!!!! Welcome to Little Sod and foster dog as well :rotfl:
The results of my labours today (with a team) were 110 jars of marmalade. I may post a picture later, but I'll only post it briefly cos it is in fact part of a private house. I've tried to make it unidentifiable, but just in case...... The person in the picture isn't me, BTW!Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0 -
Bad today no food.
Tomorrow I pick up my blend active before running round like a nutter.
SIL is a !!!!! dying or not today she had a snark at OH and has told the hospital not to tell him anything0 -
Mellymoo, if you're asking for information over the phone, hospitals generally are very wary about giving out specific information because anyone could phone up and say they're a relative. It may be hospital policy rather than SIL handing out orders.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Hello again all
Thanks for all the kind words everyone, feeling welcome. Am feeling a lot better. Managed to go shopping with OH (although my anxiety got the better of me in a very busy Asda) then to the gym this afternoon. Worked up a good sweat and it really helped
Dreading Monday. When I'm chaotic I babble and say too much and I think that let me down last time. My anxiety is scary sometimes, it's like I don't know my own thoughts and the most frightening times are when I have panic attacks so bad that I have seizures. It will be very difficult for me to have to try to explain why Im like this- because the answer is I don't know, truthfully. I know that my Cancer diagnosis, even three years after the operation that removed it, still haunts my life continuously as does the attack four years ago that caused my PTSD or the car accident six years ago which affected me so badly psychologically that I have massive panic attacks if another car even comes close to us and why I am not allowed to drive so have a national Concessionary disabled persons' pass.
SingleSue, I am the same. The curtains have been firmly shut for about 6 or 7 weeks now- for me it is because I have no wish to see the world outside.
Mine have been shut off and on for the last 21 years....now ex husband used to open them but I would shut them again as soon as he was out of the house.
PND started it all, before that I was ok, I was quite shy when younger but got myself over that in my teens, pretty much by forcing myself to be sociable and appear confident.
The curtains being shut is so I can hide away, I love looking at the outside world but don't want/like people looking at me.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
