Tea,
Yep I agree with you.
I felt good when going out for a cycle 5 days a week.
I think the bigger thing that has shocked me in to action is lack of money.
Penguin diet/food/ED
I was spending nearly a £5 3/4 times a week. I feel compelled to go and buy crap. I have started to prep meals for a few days in advance now. So just take them out the fridge and eat them. Have homemade and bought ready meals in the freezer.
As I said last week I got really tetchy with lodger. As I wanted him to go out so I could stuff my face. As its not something I do in front of people and then I hide the evidence. Which makes me believe that I do have an ED maybe only in mild form. I will admit that I know now I will fall off the wagon.
going to look up some clean eating dessert/treat recipes. So I can have the odd treat.
Penguin end
Seems to have got warmer again
Yours

Expect the temperature to drop 20 degrees and it to start raining as I bought a garden table and chairs set on the way from from work. From Tesco, I'd only popped in as I was short an ingredient to cook tonight and ended up having to get the security guard to help me carry this big box out to my carProud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

Has been hot here today at 23C and I have been sitting in the sun reading my book. Now going to eat my home made yogurt. Yes I know that's not hot for many but for here it's very good, thunderstorms expected tonight though.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

This is a rant. Feel free to ignore.
ER is back home. Dementia diagnosis so family want to get a power of attorney sorted. ER did not want to do POA. They have lied to ER to persuade him by saying without one he'll get put in the worst home in the area and won't have any say in his future. He was also very clear that he didn't want his children on it, so sibling who is helping him organise it is planning to add one of them without telling him. Solicitor is not aware of dementia diagnosis and ER's fluctuating capacity. It's just not right - they do mean well, it's not an ulterior motive, but you can't just lie to people to make them do what you want.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I caught a ghastly on my desk at work today!
Isn't that a type of fraud, Elsien? Didn't sound a good situation.
Little Sod had been eating frozen carrots today to try and cool him down.

Welly,
I do read all the penguins as very little triggers me. I would hate to think I have triggered someone. I tend to err on the side of caution and penguin it.
How long did you leave it before your BF/GF met your family. The only people who know about lego man is here, my lodger, husband and a couple of friends. my family don't even know I am seeing anyone.
Its been nearly 2 months. I know times does fly. But would like him to meet my husband, Yes I know its strange :rotfl:but just think he should as I spend time with him and support.
Still hot 25 :eek:
Yours

Had a nice day out on the bike again. Was happy just to go on my own, but when I got there my Uncle was all dressed and ready and eager to go! Left my Mam to have a crack with my Aunty and off we went with the words "Same plan as last time?"
The plan being taking the route that brings us out at the charity shop! Both ended up with some cool bargains, which we then have to keep secret from my Aunty....it's quite sweet really that he's frightened to tell her that he's been buying more stuff!
One of the "bargains" he bought was a belt. Now, I was convinced he was looking in the ladies section, but he reckoned they were all combined, so I left him to it....only for him to find one that he liked to then discover that the studs spelt out (will penguin, re religion, light hearted taking the mick somewhat) 'JESUS ROCKS'....cue laughter when he decided -egged on by me- that it would do as it would be hidden under his jumper....I told him just don't bend over.
Then we all sat out in their lovely garden for a while. Was nice, and whilst warm, not as warm as ours, which really is too warm to sit out for long sometimes.
He then gave me £40 to go and get some cycling gear....I think he's serious about this cycling lark
Hope everyone has managed to enjoy the sunshine at least a little bit, and has not suffered too much. D has went to bed in an absolute puddle!0 -
hi guys I'm in a amess.. I've been feeling so insane this week.. more than usual, and now I know why.. my blister pack is missing my 300ml of seroquel xr and 600mg of pregablin a day for a wqeek.. no wonder I cant sleep at all, I'm hearing voices and I feel really strong urges to self harm, and I haven't SHed for r 7 years. my impulsivityfeels out of control. . I feel really frightened of my mind.. 111 is useless they refused to help me with ny meds, this eve, and I've got big housing worries from an email today from my new agency and they want 2 months rent paid today, or I am in breach of my preexisting rolling tenancy.. that's £1400 £700 of which I dont have.. I write a post in housing but noone relied so I'll copy it hear, I'm sure it's too confusing to help me with, but I'm going absulutely mental..Ignore the bits that you already know about the threat of eviction when the sewage is fixed..
here's the post: I've been with my housing agency 5 years and it has gone bust so I've been switched to a different agency.. they switched me a month ago, I didn't receive any paperwork or phone calls or emails from the old agency , only from the new one, initially they wanted me to pay rent of £700 to them for the moth of June, but my standing order had already gone out to the old agency. I set up a standing order to the new agency to go out tomorrow, but I got an email from them today saying that I have to pay them 2 months rent today, £1400 in total, but I don't understand what the extra month is.. I'm on a continuous rolling contract from my old agency, this one hasn't mentioned another months rent as a deposit or rent in advance.. the email said if I didn't pay it today/tomorrow I will be in breach of my contract.. I have dyscalculia and am terrible with numbers, I'm so panicked as I'm on benefits and don't have the extra money.. they gave th3e dates as: " we need two months’ rent I put the wrong dates. You were paid up to the 19/06/2016 from your last agency's records so we need from the 19/06/2016 to the 18/07/2016 and then 19/07//2016 to the 18/08/2016. "
.
I paid my rent to my old agency on the 14th june 2016, so I presumed I was up to date in turn with the rent in advance, ..does that make sense? I'm worried as I lost my tenancy agreement from 5 years ago, my mother paid him directly the deposit and I think a month in advance, as my bank says the 1st payment to them was 14th sept 2011 but I moved in 14th aug 2011. I am estranged from my mother so I can't ask her, and because she paid him directly, it didn't go into my bank account.. I am so stressed and panicked and it doesn't maker sense, but as I said I'm crap with dates and numbers and have mental health issues.
This agency is really strict.. they don't like people on benefits, they are putting pressure on my to get contents insurance which I can't afford, and I think it's awful that they sent me this email today at 6.30 tonight, demanding the £1400 today, while I can't contact them til tomorrow, and I cant contact my ex agency as they have folded. and the line is dead. . I am really scared that I will get evicted if I don't pay the\ extra £700 today/tomorrow, ad I can't get money from anywhere as I went bankrupt last year so no overdraft or loan allowed, and no one to get the money off..
They have told me that once they fix the sewage problem they will evict me at some point, but I don't want to accelerate it or jeopardise the roof over my head, as I have noone to live with and I can't cope with homelessness and being socially cleansed away from my home town. I'm trying to keep this roof until I get a council flat suitible for my disabilities and that is proving so hard, as you have to be "positively contributing to society" i.e working or doing voluntary work for 6 months continuously , as it stands, I am not allowed to bid on half the housing stock and they are giving ground floor flats to workers most of the time, even though I have a mobility rating. I'm on band B and all the(very few) disabled flats go to band A.
This is really freaking me out!!I have never defaulted on my rent. can anyone shed some light? Most agencies make you pay in advance so if I was a month in arrears, the last agency would have asked for it back.. I'm so confused and addled.Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE0
