I still use my fax. Mostly for instructing a building society to make a payment out of a savings account. They won't allow emails for obvious reasons, or verbal instructions over the phone.
It's too far away for me to go in person.

It works well.

Not every GP practice has an nhs.net account which is considered the only secure way to email stuff.

So many parts of the NHS still use fax machines.

Good luck with the meds gingernutty

Messedup the old style board has good threads for eating/living on a very tight budget so it might be an idea to look there for managing with £40

I've been out charity shopping the last two days as it gets me out of the house, makes me walk, and doesn't break the bank buying clothes :rotfl:
I dug out my diary and checked my weight in October when my meds were put up to a higher dosage and I've put 10lbs on since then :eek: they also aren't helping so much anymore so I've started reducing the dose so I can switch to a different one. It might be a rollercoaster getting there, but I'm feeling pretty positive that it's the right thing to do.

Morning my Lovelies,

Hugs and squishes and handshakes all round for all. Its nice cool in the fort today.

Rained here last night. My pots needed it as they where as dry as a bone even though I have been watering them. My water butt has some water in it will check it out later.

I know self diagnose is not always a good idea. But I have had a physical issue for a at least a couple of months. Seems I have achilles tendonitis :j

Which is a massive pain as I walk twice a day both to walk dog and for me to get some exercise. So have taken a break this week of walking the dog and trying some stretches if no better in a couple of weeks off to the dr. not sure what they can really do. But that messes up the plans I had to start walking further and taking up couch to 5k!!!!!

Food shopping done and now I will potter about today. As not got any plans. Well apart from popping to see my mum.

Everyone take care.

Yours

Penguin About family
Is it ok to admit you don't like a member of your immediate family? I disliking a parent, to be truthful my dad. As time goes on liking him less and less.

I never bothered with fathers days this year or last year. My father never ran around after us as kids. He never came out and collected us from a night out etc.

I rarely bother asking for help with anything as he just does not seem interested in helping. Even when I was with my husband who was disabled. just because he was not keen on my husband, why would you not want to help your own daughter out.

But he seems to think that he can ring me up on a day and I will drop everything for him and collect him from here and there. Well no, I don't have the car everyday and at weekends sometimes me AM have plans.

Everyone take car.

It's perfectly fine to admit that, you can't make yourself like someone just because you're related to them.
The fact that it sounds like it's selfishness/a lack of closeness that makes you feel that way is probably harder than if he was intentionally cruel, at least then you'd have no doubt that you should dislike him.
Try to make sure you don't pull away from him to a point where you'll have regrets about things you didn't say/do though. My dad and I haven't always got on all that well but I do love him, even when I don't particularly like him, so try to make sure I don't keep him at too much of a distance as I really don't want to be plagued with "what if" when he's no longer around.

I feel like I'm wishing my life away at the moment. Work's so dull and I've got things planned pretty much every weekend this month so feel like I'm just counting down hours during the week until I can get to do fun stuff.

I hope everyone's well - hugs to all who need them, even if you don't particularly want them xx

Izzy,

I do get what you are saying. And wont stop seeing him as my parents are still together.

So when I see my mum, he is often about. Just can't deal with him some days. he is always right and that is that. Can't suggest anything to him as he is right. And he likes to have a sly little digs about stuff. Which just is not funny.

Penguin end

Can pick your friends but not your family

So quiet here! I hope everyone is getting on ok

I took a bus up to town today and very suddenly came over all hot and nauseous. I kept calm by reminding myself it was just part of the ssri withdrawal and luckily had some polos on me to keep me going to my stop. Once off the bus I bought some water and ginger biscuits and did my other shopping super fast before hopping back on the bus home. The return journey is always so much better when you know home is getting closer and closer :rotfl:

DS2 came back from holiday and I have now worked my way through his mountain of washing! So glad it's cooler but still dry enough to hang everything on the line

Take care all x
