Sorry Buffy but I think it's time someone else took a turn. Be careful looking at flats by the way. They will all be leasehold and management charges can be "interesting". The smallest house that you can afford may be a better idea. I hope that you feel better soon and in the meantime, start planning.3

You sound like one of our clients with no heating

can you order a small electric heater for your room from amazon , just to take the chill off
its certainly not the time to be cold and once you are cold to the bone its difficult to get warm3 -
I’ve got a small electric heater and it’s brilliant. I only use it if it’s really cold.Take care xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Buffy - this is not ok and it is not fine. You are absolutely entitled to feel hurt when someone who is supposed to love you and who shares a house with you leaves you alone and fails to help when you are very sick. Yes, I know your mum has limitations but she should be working right up to them to do everything for you that she can, even if that's just leaving cups of tea outside your door. If I wasn't now at the other end of the country I would be turning up to push food parcels through your letterbox!Please get a stack of microwave meals delivered for both of you and tell your mum to call the surgery for whatever pills she needs - the pharmacy will have no contact delivery options for while you are isolating. And stay hydrated and eat as much as you can manage. If you think you are getting worse, call your doctor.When you're better, you need to find a therapist to help you sort through the situation and figure out what you want to do next.Hugs, purrs and doggy cuddles from hereRB xxDebt free May 2016...

Thanks Rosa XX
Am too ugh to type much.
One thing I will say, electric blankets are amazing. For whatever reason I can't ever sleep for longer than 5 hours max but with covid about 4 pm I get so tired and this afternoon I fell asleep with the blanket on low, I woke up SO relaxed and peaceful.
I am going to move the smallest bun outside next weekend. My isolation period will be up and won't be too tricky getting her out.
Small changes.

Nevertheless she persisted.5 -
when you're better, get some viewings on properties booked in. Start making steps towards getting your own place. You have done your time - now time to put yourself first x4

Morning all,
Am planning a shower today and hopefully to clean out either the piggies and indoor rabbits, then it is back to bed to plan tomorrow's cover. I do feel better but I felt better on Saturday like this, then had a fairly awful Sunday. need to do some washing.
I seem to be watching a weird cartoon. Kinda funny. Think it was originally Italian.Nevertheless she persisted.3 -
