Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 2

Wellyboots6

I have a couple of dreams a night that I remember. Hubby thinks it's odd because he only has one a month that he remembers. I couldn't imagine going to sleep and not dreaming!

Speaking of which... Escapette slept 11pm-7.30am!!!

Hello all, I hope you are okay

I visited this page a few months ago (I think it was that long) and then kind of wandered off...I kind of went into recluse mode!

Quite bad of me considering that I don't do any socializing outside of the home, I could at least do it on the computer :P

You all helped me through a rough patch at the time so I thought I would come say hello and see how you are all doing Hope you don't mind!

:hello: hello kitty and welcome back. A lot of people on this thread pop in and out depending on how they're feeling so don't worry. Sometimes you need to retreat to your cave and be a hermit for a bit.

It's freezing here. Working from home and determined not to put the heating on if I can help it.

I used to be on medication which knocked me out like a light. Now my medication has a slight 'upper' effect which makes it difficult to fall asleep and it's rare that I stay asleep all night. This may be partly due to Mr CP who is a massive fidget/bed hogger/cover pincher. Sometimes I think Lucy and Ricky beds are the way to go. I do get tired and frustrated after a while and I am, as previously mentioned in this thread, a huge fan of naps, to the point where DA dog recognises the phrase "Shall we have a nap?" as his cue to curl up behind me on the sofa and snuggle in.

I also have completely odd and sometimes entertaining dreams. Like the serial killer zoo one I mentioned before. Or the dream where I was the purple power ranger on a coach trip to Copenhagen (never even been there).

Melly 2 -3 hours sleep is not enough. No wonder you feel terrible all the time. You're not giving your body any chance to heal.

You're doing better than me code, I'm WFH and have had the heating on all day. Still flipping cold though! Also not actually getting much work done.... motivational issues as ever lol.

Hi kitty *waves*

In other news... am going to see Will Young tonight. So excited! Third time seeing him. Slightly odd as going with FOH - tickets were booked ages ago and I thought might as well stick to the original plan. Might be bit weird as haven't actually seen him for a month or so. First step towards being friends maybe.

ETA: of course, there is a good chance it will be a total disaster!

Basically what WaS said Pyxis You're struggling to find a voice and you are suppressing your own thoughts and views. Because you are being so calm about it, maybe that means that it is time to speak up and share those views? This could be to do with the situation at the Am Dram?

You're probably right.
However, the fact that I was so calm throughout and didn't react to the 'strangling', makes me think that keeping cool, calm, collected and shtum is the way to go. Watch and learn, type of thing.

Georgiegirl256

Yes, that makes sense Pyxis How's things now? Or have you not been again yet?

Code, I'll say to you what I say to D when he wants to put the fire on...."stick a jumper on!" He wanders round I. Shorts and t-shirt, no socks or slippers (I've got to have warm feet!) and then wonders why he's freezing!

:wave: Kitty. Nice to hear from you

Go with your gut Pyxis. I'm guessing this is all to do with the Mean Girls so maybe letting them trip themselves up is the way to go.

Tea - have fun at the gig tonight and whatever you do, do not sleep with FOH.

That's actually pretty good going. If that was me, there'd be 2 cabinets on the wall, one secured with duct tape and neither entirely level. There'd be half of one attached because I got frustrated and wandered off, and the sink would live on the floor. It'd be semi painted, semi tiled(poorly) and there'd be more polyfilla than wall.

I'm slow, but persistent. Having a sink in a cabinet that was so wonky that I had to put a length of 2x4 across it to stop it collapsing, a freestanding cooker and a fold out camping table as worksurface being my entire kitchen for months spurred me on a bit. The reason I'm having so much trouble with the last 5% is motivation, I have a working kitchen now and what remains is just decorative finishing touches.

You would not believe the amount of planning that went into making sure the wall units stayed on the walls. I ripped all the plasterboard off as it was a stud wall, measured the height, did loads of calculations to figure out exactly how far above the floor the screws for the brackets would need to go, recalculated bearing in mind the thickness of the floor insulation + underfloor heating + slate tiles I was going to install, remeasured and recalculated again, from scratch, just to be sure. Then put extra wooden battens into the stud wall at what I hoped was the correct height and secured them with many, many screws. To the extent that they would take my 12st hung from them, so a kitchen cabinet ought to be fine (have I mentioned that I over-engineer everything I build? )

It was still a "cross fingers and hope" exercise when I attached the first brackets to the wall and then hung a cabinet from them, but none of it has fallen down yet!

What I did learn when it was all up was that either my floor or my ceiling is not level, you can see the gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling narrowing along the run.

Knew there was something else I meant to reply to! Yes, have a brilliant time tea!

Me and my best mate (at the time) went to Newcastle twice to see him....unfortunately that meant we had to see Gareth Gates and the rest of the Pop Idol rejects, but it was worth it to see him, we were mad on him at the time!

I haven't got a level floor in the house, which is annoying when you're tiling as you have to decide whether to do them straight, or put them up wonky so they look straight relative to the floor.

The worst part is the 10yr old extension! The levels are far worse in that part than the original 1930s bit.

code - definitely not. I'm too worried about being out past midnight on a school night for anything else anyway lol.

GG: he's definitely getting better with age.
