    WaS i'm sure you don;t need to worry about ESA/PIP/DLA, with the amount and strength of evidence you have i think you'll find it goes through without problems

    - - -

    What a nightmare weekend we've had! I managed to lose my phone yesterday, it got picked up by someone and we tracked it for a hile but they switched it off. Finally figured out how to send a message and realised the only way to get it back in the area Swain lives in wwas to offer a reward and hope whoever had it would take the money. Low and behold this morning we got a phone call to say someone had found it, so Swain went and got it for me. A reward is a small price to pay for having my phone back. I'm lucky in that it has the hello kitty cover as whoever found it thought it belonged to a kid :o and its not obvious its an iphone. Felt bad for Swain as he kept saying he'd sort it out for me but all day yesterday i just felt crap about losing it. :(:o but thankfully i have it back now.

    I think i'm due and upgrade actually but whatever happens that damn phone (or its possible upgrade) is being insured!

    Yes I did get to the carvery and I had pudding. Not impressed with the pudding but the carvery was nice.

    Had a choice of lamb, pork and beef I had lamb and beef as I rarely cook those for myself. And best of all my dad paid and I am still stuffed even now LOL!!!

    WaS there is no way on this earth they will kick you off of ESA, You are a lot sicker than my husband and they tried it on with him.

    As Much as I like him and think he is fab. I know deep down that now he could never hold a full time job down, he has days when he does not get out of bed. He gets very frustrated being one hand. And does not always know what is appropriate for the circumstances. Does not drive so that limits where he can go for starters.

    He is so clever being an engineer. He even use to work on aircraft engines!!! He now can't even help me with the car. And he use to do all the servicing even use to change the brakes for me.

    And now he can't even cope with everyday life. Which is very sad as he has a lot to offer.

    Yours

    I saw the super moon eclipse!

    Well, I missed the totality, as I didn't wake until 4.50, but there was only a crescent of light showing. Then I went back half an hour later and there was a three-quarter moon showing. The sky was incredibly clear, really, really clear, loads of stars. Orion was very clear, even his belt, and there's a planet, not sure which, Venus perhaps?

    If you're awake, it's worth popping outside to have a look...... You might catch the last of the eclipse!


    Anyway, getting ready to go off now! If I disappear for a few days, it's because there's no wifi where I am!

    I missed the moon. Normally I wake up in the middle of the night but last night I slept through til morning. Grr :(
    Can't believe it is Monday already. Although super organised today. Got dinner in my slow cooker already. Just need to stack the dishwasher again as I cleaned it last night. Our dog walkers must think we're pigs as the kitchen is a bit of a dumping ground.

    WaS, if I remember rightly, we met you because of a benefits review. Try hard not to worry.

    I missed the supermoon, but am enjoying the photos online.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
  • I missed the a supermoon too :( I usually wake up in the middle of the night too, but slept right through. Oh well, the photos look really good!

    Enjoy your trip Pyxis!

    I've no idea about how all these benefits work WaS, but I'm sure you'll be just fine. It's only natural to worry especially when it appears that everything might just get dumped on you at once :eek:

    Venus will be the brightest object in the night sky apart from the Moon when it is out, and it is often visible around dawn or dusk, so that's a good possibility.

    I didn't even attempt to get up for it, I would have loved to see it as I've been interested in astronomy since I started infants school, but been having enough problems with tiredness the last fortnight without deliberately depriving myself of sleep.

  • Need some Dutch courage guys! I've mentioned before about my fear of getting my eyes tested....well, it's that time again.

    Want to get some new glasses/sunglasses before we go to Vegas in two weeks, been putting it off, and now they're fully booked until the 13th Oct. my own fault I know for not going sooner, but I've never known them to be booked so far in advance.

    D has booked with another opticians, but I'm going to go down, and see if I can maybe get a cancelation or something.

    Anyhow, I'm cr*pping myself! give me the dentist anytime!
  • I hate it too Georgie, especially when they have their face right up in mine and I'm quite photosensitive so shining that light in my eyes isn't comfortable. I have to go every six months because I have contacts but it's something I put up with, like a smear. Hugs and courage potion for you. It will be over before you know it and you'll have lovely new glasses

    well not good at all today.

    Penguin -nothing bad but a bit private

    had a major crisis last night. Was threatened with solicitors and the police. I was told they had all my texts and logs of all my phone calls to them!!!! And where going to use them against me. And a family member was dragged in to.

    I got very hysterical had to take a valium last night which left me feeling very empty.

    The family member who was suppose to be spoken to, phoned this morning and never said a word. So think the person is lying. And also claimed they had long a chat with there own mother and said they should go down the legal route too. I did suggest to them had they told there mother the whole truth. Again I doubt it very much. And what could come out is going to be make them look a bit stupid no matter what they claim about me.

    And now I am too scared to even go out the door now and just have to wait and see what comes through the door I suppose. And think that will push me over the edge to be truthful.

    I have even cancelled my afternoon tea with my mum and shopping with my husband tomorrow as just can't face anyone at the moment. I have done something stupid, did agree to something that might happen on wednesday that will take me across the road from the person works who threatened me. its favor to a family member. So hard to say no and they know I don't work and could hardly explain the reason why did not want to do it.

    Penguin end

    So not a good start to the weekend or the end to a nice day yesterday. I know its all my own fault and do
    probably deserve it. Being truthful.

    Anyway nice sunny day.

    Hope everyone else is fine. If not hugs, handshakes and special squishes all round.

    Yours

    Calley
