An in-between phase

Thank you @doingitanyway, a lovely champers time was had 🥂

Thank goodness you clarified @Blackcats, I shall bear that in mind 😁

How lovely getting gifted champagne!

To be honest I think you reach a certain point when it feels as though things going wrong is the normal that you simply run out of "oomph" to get any more frustrated about it. It's still annoying, but eventually you just shrug and add it to the pile!

Chronic pain condition having a bit of a painful freak out today but did:

Usuals
Couple of surveys

Dredged through my deleted emails to reinstate important things after my inbox deleted itself for absolutely no reason
Then got a call apparently from Burstow Park School in Crawley (?!) saying I'd just called them about a tax issue, no idea what's going on there

£125 on the PB, thank you Ernie 😊

Small walk meeting an old friend for beers (with camra discount)

Hope everyone's having a good mid week, and if not, there are still two days of the working week left to get things back on their proper track 🍻

Glad you enjoyed the champers 🥂

You’re very lucky with the PBs, have you ever had a month where you haven’t won? Well done 🥳

Every day is a fresh start 🙂

I’m in a dry spell with PB, hoping it saving up for a decent win next month …..

Many months @Sun_Addict so I'm definitely not complacent and always very grateful!

Hope tomorrow is a fresh start as I had a little cry over dinner as I had to eventually give in and ask Mr PIP to cut my food up for me because it was too painful and unmanageable for me to do it myself.

It's rubbish enough being in pain without feeling demeaned and incapable to the core of your soul. Ah well. There are folk worse off than me and I'm grateful for being loved and otherwise well 🤞 (and hope things improve for those other folk too!)

Fingers crossed for you @dawnybabes, I expect they just don't want to spoil you when you've got a big win coming

Sorry about needing the lovely Mr PIP to cut up your food. I am not in pain now, but when I was it was all consuming. It was like an orchestra playing nightmare music so loudly I couldn't think, or move, or breathe properly. You do so well with living your pain that sometimes I forget what you are going through. Not much help I know, but I get it...

Oh PiP yes I can see how that would make you feel carp about things - it's awful experiencing a level of pain that interferes with simply living your life, and frustrating too when it means you have to compromise your personal ideals in asking folk for help.

Great news on that PB win though - nothing for us again this month.

Hope today is a better day.
