    @sugarbaby125 what a shame about your feedback on your scene.  Maybe it’s something you should discuss with the course organiser, in that it’s not helpful to have two different people commenting because they gave you conflicting feedback.  But as you said, you aren’t going to let it derail you.

    Your house looks so stylish Liberty Lily.:) 

    I haven't even read the info about the PIP form Sugarbaby. The man coming to help me fill it in is coming today. I might just send the form off then without the letter from my GP. I will read through the info properly before he gets here.

    I am dyeing my hair now as my natural roots are coming through. I did book a pedicure for tomorrow as I haven't had that done since mid August. I think I will get a pale pink this time as the dark red made my nails slightly discoloured. I am getting a check up at the dentist tomorrow too and then I will book the hygienist for a cleaning when I'm there.

    I think I am heading into perimenopause as I had my period when I was in York and then I got it again two weeks later. I am feeling very tired and I am going to get some iron supplements after I wash my hair and get dressed. I am wondering if that is why I had a fibromyalgia flare recently as that came out of nowhere. It is raining here, but I was going to drop off a charity donation bag and I wanted to look for some winter boots. I did declutter yesterday and rearrange the wardrobe so I can see what I have to wear with the change in season. I have to go out anyway to get the iron tablets so I will just take my umbrella.

    Oh yes, I need to buy a card too as it is my friend's 70th birthday coming up.:)

    I did get £150 from the DWP today which I think it because of my disabilities. I also got a message about my Covid booster which I have booked for next weekend at a local health centre.

  • Hello Ladies,

    Wednesday
    , that £150 is the cost-of-living disability payment. Most of us who are entitled to the payment are still waiting to receive it. 

    Chanie, everyone on the Neighbourhood Voices course had 15 minutes feedback/discussion with Ola and Kirk Ann on Saturday afternoon. The course is organised by Alisha, Kirk Ann and Ola. Alisha and Kirk Ann work for The Young Vic and Ola is employed in a more senior position with The National Theatre. 

    Alisha is a dramaturg and Kirk Ann is an assistant dramaturg. They work with playwrights to hone their plays which are being produced with The Young Vic, so they both have a wealth of the relevant experience to help us develop our 1st play and support us on our play writing journey. 

    The 2nd time I had a 1-1 15 minute zoom meeting booked with Alisha for 24th August at 3.15pm. On the day, she kept on contacting me, saying she was running late and moving the time of our zoom meeting. In the end, after sitting waiting to be let into the zoom meeting for 50 minutes, I ran out of patience and gave up. I was surprised not to get any kind of apology from Alisha and when I submitted the scene and the treatment of my play to her, she said she was looking forward to reading them and I said I was looking forward to hearing her feedback. I have never had the feedback from her. 

    The 1st ever 1 to 1 zoom meeting I had with Alisha, she waited until just before the booked time to contact me, to ask if she could move the meeting to a week later and I had no choice but to agree. On the day of the zoom meeting a week later, she was running late, so I sat waiting to be allowed into the 1 to 1 zoom meeting with her until she eventually let me into the meeting. Then I was surprised to find that she had not read any of the pages of my play that I had sent her to discuss with her, so I had to give her a verbal overview of what I had written so far. We did discuss my play and she made some suggestions, but it is difficult to discuss what you have written with someone else, when they have not actually seen or read anything that you have written. They need to see your style of writing, to comment on it.

    I feel that I am in a difficult position of trying to get the help and support I need and deserve, let alone expected from Alisha and Kirk Ann when neither of them has been very forthcoming in providing me with help and support. 

    My next step is trying to get all of the points that Kirk Ann was making in writing and with her suggestions for how I should make changes in that scene. Then, I can decide if the points she is making are valid and if her suggestions for changes are going to work in that scene.
