Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

It's nice being a local tourist ono. I've recently had some touristy days out in Coventry (not home exactly, but very close) and have been amazed at just how much there is to see. As I was banging on about the other week lol. Hope you both have a lovely time

As ever, Friday afternoon is draaaaaaaaagging. All those years of finishing at 1pm have spoilt me... don't think I'll ever get used to this! Doesn't help that I know I've got an early start and lots to get done tomorrow and it's all playing on my mind. Have got to try and fit in a visit to a shop with very, very restricted opening hours.... and if I do make it there on time have got some tricky decisions to make.

Need to decide whether to buy and go ahead with some things for Guiding that the person who is technically in charge is dragging their heels about. I won't attempt to explain it all as it's a long-running difference of opinion about the finer points of running the programme etc. Have had numerous conversations with people higher up and they've basically told me to just crack on if this person isn't helping, but I don't want things to kick off! But mostly I want the girls to get the most out of the experience and at the moment that isn't happening so I'm hoping that will give me the incentive to pretty much go above her head.

Ok... that will have made no sense to anyone else but will appreciate "be brave" thoughts!

Calley, it was the way your ex treated you that led to your anxiety, there is no reason to believe that as long as Lego Man continues to treat with care and respect that things will be the same. Lego Man isn't your ex, he sounds far more stable and happy to spend time with you. This does sound like a very healthy relationship so far which is exactly what you need, once you feel secure and sure that you won't be hurt again all of those anxieties will slip away and you can then start enjoying being treated as you always deserved to be.

WaS,

Thanks. I know really deep down that I believe he would ever treat me the way my ex did. My ex claimed he wanted a relationship with me. Really?? thats why you keep running away and I never see you.

Its hard when you don't even like yourself to think that someone else could/would like you.

Any barge trip was really nice. Did make me a feel a bit queasy. had a pub lunch. Guess who took cash out and then forgot to take it with them :rotfl:

Back home again. It was nice as I did not have to drive LOL!!!

Need to go and drink a glass of water as all I have drank today is a cup of coffee.

Feel tired and done nothing today lol!!!!

yours

Who? You or him?

My cat doesn't appear to be on that pic Pyxis! He'd be the one starting a fight with some poor innocent! :rotfl: He took a chunk out of D's finger before when he tried to move him off his keyboard!

I love Lost, Georgie! It was the last series I managed to watch without making me feel terrible although the last episode upsets me. WaSp watched Breaking Bad and thought it was brilliant.

Have a lovely week,ono! Don't rush on the Pi, whenever you get around to it is fine! WaSp is very, very grateful. His Pi Zero arrived today, it is tiny, like a matchbox!

I am so glad you feel better Lambyr! You have accomplished lots this week, that's a reason to be proud. Have a lovely time with E!

I have only been on a barge once, Calley and that was on a school trip. It sprung a leak and we all had to get off!

Be brave, tea! If the higher up people have told you to go for it, then do it! You know you have the back-up and the girls would enjoy it.

I love the graph, JM! I am a total fit into the last column. I just want it to all be over now.

Hey everyone!

I am tired! My darling but completely mad mother decided to get up this morning at 5:15am, which may just about be a new record for her. It was gone 2am when she went to bed!

Anyhoo, I was fortunately able to convince her that 5:15am was just far too bonkers a time to be getting up and she went back to bed. Unfortunately, it was gone 7am by the time I was able to get back to sleep myself and I was awake again just before 10am so feeling a bit fuzzy headed today. On the plus side I do have some double choccy mochas that I can enjoy later... caffeine and chocolate!

So maybe it's the lack of sleep that's making me feel like someone who has had a few too many shandies but just wanted to thank everyone on the thread for being so nice the other day about everything. Can't say I don't still have many, many worries about things but I don't know, maybe it's cos I ranted like a loony that I managed to clear my head enough to actually focus on something. It's a silly thing really but finally building that silly website and getting everything set up on there has given me a sense of accomplishment I've not really felt in a while and I doubt if the panic was still wrapping it's tendrils around my brain I'd have managed to do that.

And the good news is E is over her bout of illness and will be coming around tomorrow. Missed her this week. We kept in touch of course but wasn't quite the same so I have that to look forward to.

So yes, thanks everyone. I'd treat you all to double choccy mochas if you were here, but since you're not, you'll have to imagine them... unless you don't like them, in which case, I dunno... cup of tea?

:T :T :T
No double choccy mocha for me, blahugh!

I'll have a cup, a porcelain cup if you please, of Sencha green tea with a slice of lemon, no pips, thank you so much!







Calley, you got queasy on a barge??? :eek: :rotfl:
What would you be like on a channel ferry? :eek:


Memo to self: never go on a cruise with Calley

In good news Milliefleur now has a day centre placement twice a week! Between our two social workers they managed to arrange it so that she has a social event most days. She now has the day centre twice a week, church on Sundays, a club another day and a befriender visiting on Saturdays. Hopefully that will stop her feeling lonely and inventing problems for WaSp to fix. I do feel for her because despite her blindness she is still very active and sociable, she doesn't do well sitting alone with nothing to do. Let's see if this helps, they have made a real effort for her.

Georgiegirl256

That's great news WaS!

elsien

That's great news WaS. You must both be relieved.
Millefleure now officially has a far better social life than I do. :rotfl:

Waves_and_Smiles

Hahahaha! I am exhausted even thinking about Milliefleur's social life, I couldn't manage all of that even if I went out! I know social services get it wrong sometimes but between our two social workers they have done such a great job for her, her own social worker also visits every 2 weeks for a cup of tea on a spare day so that is another social event. They really have given her so much support and she seems much happier now she has so much to look forward to.
