Yup, me too ono. Am trying to get my brain in gear to argue with a useless waste company about legal requirements.... how can anyone get enthusiastic about that?!

Me three. I felt so tired and out of it his morning. I think I slept well, but was just so so tired.

It's a year today since we scattered my Dad's ashes, so me and my Mam are going there and having a little picnic. Can't believe how fast that year has gone. So feeling a little bit sad, and still feeling pretty grumpy (but we can probably blame that one on hormones lol!)

Is fairly overcast again, but it can see a peeking of blue sky coming through, so fingers crossed it's going to be sunny again.

Edit: That's so lovely SJ! :A

Goodness Georgie, that doesn't seem a year ago at all does it? I hope it brightens up for your picnic and that you and your mum have a lovely time with lots of happy memories. (((georgie)))

I know tea, it's scary how quickly time flies by isn't it? :eek:

I can remember coming back and telling you all how it went, and how it was bucketing down and blowing a gale.

SJ - let me know if you come up with that pill.

Georgie- hugs for the sad. Hope you have a lovely picnic filled with good memories of your dad. I'll be thinking about you today.

Tea and ono - may I join your staring blankly at the screen club. What is it I do again?

Everyone is welcome

I have actually replied to some emails now, and as a consequence of investingating one of them found a bug in the code that has been there since forever, and because of where it is will need a complete new version rather than a sneaky patch into the production build.

My "To do" list grows ever longer :eek:

Can I please join you in staring blankly at my screen. I only had one day off and I feel like I've forgotten what I'm meant to be doing.

Faerie - what a lovely gift and I'm glad you enjoyed your swim.

((((Georgie)))) I hope all goes well today and you enjoy your picnic.

SJ - that's so sweet!!

There's loads I've caught up with which I meant to mention and have now forgotten but hugs and squishes to all!!

Cornwall was, as expected, a bit soggy but it was still lovely. Sunday wasn't too bad and we managed to get to Gweek seal sanctuary in the morning and then spent yesterday being blown about on clifftops in the rain, at the Minack and Land's End, before making the very long journey back home again. If anybody needs me I'll be curled up asleep somewhere...

I am a bit of a misery guts these days and I don't really know why. It is the TOTM and I am stuffing my face constantly. I am frustrated as I don't seem to achieve anything beyond getting up, going to work and doing a bit with littlewing. I am forcing myself to do most things.

I am very tempted to take one extra antidepressant to give myself a boost but I have stopped myself as I wouldn't know if it were safe to do so. I just feel that I am functioning but not feeling joyful or content even when it is all okay.

It's a weird feeling. Just a complete lack of enthusiasm for everything. It all seems rather a lot of hassle. Even when it has been sunny. Some is money-related as I want to do some decorating etc that I can't afford to do.

Hello all!

Another night of not sleeping too well. Dog was barking at nothing several times which didn't help.

I was also kept up by E needing someone to vent to. E lives with her mum. She pays rent (something like £300 per month, I think) but also has to buy all her own food which suits her anyway cos she works 2pm to 10pm shifts, so she prepares meals on a Sunday for the rest of the week so she can just come in, heat up and eat. Seems though her mum's new boyfriend has taken to nicking E's food. He ate a pasta dish she'd prepared a few weeks ago and apparently yesterday nabbed a curry. He's also been taking some Mars drinks she buys. So yeah, she's rather miffed at the mo!

I am having an attack of the scatter brained! Was doing mum's coffee this morning, then went looking for her mug (she has a favoured mug). Couldn't find it anywhere. Wasn't on the table, wasn't in her bedroom, wasn't in the bathroom, wasn't in the kitchen sink... driving me nuts. Looked on the floor. How could I lose a mug? Went back to the kitchen to finish making my coffee and not only is mum's mug there, there's hot coffee in it.

Georgie, I hope your picnic goes well. It is scary how fast time flies sometimes. My own father passed 15 years ago now and it doesn't seem anywhere close to being that long ago. All the best for your day.

Tea lover, I can sometimes get enthusiastic about arguing with people... depends how in the wrong I can prove they are though!

My GP can't even fill a repeat prescription in a timely manner. Had to wait a week for the last one! I dread to think how long they'd take if I needed an appointment these days.

Well this is timely, following our conversations yesterday.

That's an achievement in itself, it may be taking more effort than normal to do things but you're still managing to do them. Hopefully it's mostly TOTM related and things will get easier soon.

I'm not surprised she needed to vent. Is it just that he's unaware that it's not a free-for-all on anything that's in the fridge or is he an inconsiderate so-and-so who doesn't care that he's stealing from his girlfriend's daughter?

Me too!! I've lost count of the number of things I've misplaced this week. Finding my keys in my underwear drawer was an odd moment...
