That’s just it really. I really need a cuddle but that’s not possible so can anybody just support me right now? My mental health is on the floor right now I’ve never felt as low it’s making me feel so ill

i haven’t seen the psychic reading one, that sounds so funny 🤣🤣.

I don’t really have a signature dish 🤔🤔. I like doing curries, chilli, spag bol, shepherds pie etc. and have a bread maker which is great for homemade pizza.

You will have all those jobs with cleaning and mess and washing up to do soon, I know it 🌺💕.

It really is funny 🤣 the daughter is fuming 🤣
Ohh I’d love a bread maker , I’m terrible at making spag Bol I don’t know why but I make a good lasagne but have to use fresh pasta sheets. I can’t get on with them hard ones .
Homemade pizza sounds absolutely delicious.
When I was on slimming world I used to make my own steak bakes . Used warburtons sandwich thins and put tinned chunky steak in them and then sealed them with egg yolk they were delicious.
Thank you for having faith , I really hope so xx

Ooh, great tip! I’ll try that one.

Sunday roast and chicken tagliatelle sound so lovely. You are an amazing mum, it shines through in how you speak about your children and how understanding you are. Maybe all these future dreams of cooking meals and doing normal stuff can provide you with some hope (even as they are also making you sad).

I’ll get those films on my list 😄, thank you. I just looked up the fox video, where it bit him on the leg? Hilarious 🤣🤣. This is the goat vid, I think there might be a longer version too but this is the gist. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Fbkq4vqVgL1CDxu/?mibextid=UalRPS

Hope you’re ok tonight and can get a good sleep.

😂😂😂😂😂So funny!
Yes that’s the one , it always makes me laugh .
Have you seen the video where the woman is having a physic reading on a video call? And the woman says ‘Fiona is that a ghost behind ya’ and she says ‘no it’s me daughter’ 😂😂😂😂
What is your signature dish to cook?
You know what , when I get a house I’m never ever going to grumble about mess , pots, washing , cooking ever again! I’m going to appreciate every small thing.
Thank you for saying I’m a good mum , that means a lot xx

Don't be sad.. Next year you WILL be in your house and you can go watch fireworks with your youngest

Not sure why so many tonight but there you go
Thankfully our silly dog isn't bothered!

Thank you Munchyseeds2,
I can only pray and hope that this time next year will be a lot different to now .
I wish my children could see the fireworks here tho , it does look lovely with them glowing up the lake xx

Oh it’s life changing!
So when you’ve got pots and pans that are grubby with food stuck to it after cooking you get a tea bag (can be a used one) and put it in the pan and cover it with cold water. Leave for 10 mins and after it just wipes cleans , no scrubbing required xx

You are so bright Laura to be dealing with all of this and still chatting away, writing eloquently, on the phone endlessly to the council, emailing etc.

well done for eating 3 cookies! It’ll be your body craving some food after the shock of Tuesday wore off. Craving healthy food and a roast dinner also sounds awesome like your body is wanting to get back to normal.

I’m going to look up “my fault” on Netflix, sounds right up my street 😊.

That sounds a good sign that you’ve had some improvement in the FND already and hopefully it’ll get a bit better. Maybe they’ll give you some physio when things are more settled? Hope the appointment on Monday brings some answers.

i dabble in TikTok but watch fb reels more often. Have you seen the video with the toddler saying “it’s a fucking goat!”, I don’ t know why but I always find that so funny 😂.

I love a bit of old school Taylor swift - Our song and Teardrops on my guitar 💕. Also fearless and sparks fly. I keep meaning to watch the tour film on Disney +. I think you can get a free Disney + trial if you want to watch it to pass some time Laura (as if replying to us doesn’t take up all your spare time 🤣.

Thank you RaspberryBeretxx☺️
I can’t wait to make a Sunday roast for my children and chicken tagliatelle. And then do my tea bag trick on my pans .
Feel sad tonight , I can hear fireworks outside and it just hit me that it’s bonfire night soon and made me really pang for my children . I’ve put tv on for the first time because I feel so lonely. Just to have some background noise .
Have you watched ‘Miracles from heaven’? That’s a good film but very sad. Oh and another brill rom com is ‘Forever my girl’.
Im due to have physio but its been put on hold until ive seen neurology.
I havnt seen that video , I’ll have a search for it now. Have you seen the fox video?😂
I have Disney plus on my phone , I should start watching stuff on it really 🤔 xx

No tictoc here.. ..I'm too old (55) for that, no Facebook or insta either!

As long as you enjoyed the 🍪 who cares how many you had....healthy eatings for another day

I think you write really well and your sense of humour shines out, you come across as really caring as well, I can see you working to help and support others in the future, you would be good at that for sure xx

You’re not old Munchyseeds2!
I don’t have Facebook or insta but I like watching funny things on tik tok.
The funniest video I’ve watched was this man in the street talking to some men who were filming this fox in the street. I think it was London or somewhere like that.
The man is giving them a spiel about not to be afraid of foxes , they’re one of the nicest animals in wildlife and they are good tempered creatures.
He then gestures to the fox with his hands to come towards him and is going ‘see I told you’ and the fox then proceeds to bite him! 😂
Thank you for your lovely comments about me , you’re so sweet. Thank you
I would love to be able to help people in the future xx

I think you’re very bright, Laura. When you’re settled, perhaps you’d like to do a free open university course.

Oh wow thank you Apolloneuro,
That’s a lovely thing to say , I’m going to add ‘I’m bright’ to my ‘nice things about me’ list , thank you.
I have been on entitled to and it says I will get help with my rent too which a good, but I definitely want to get back into work I miss working so much.
I have always wanted to do an open university course but never got round to it , but what better way to start my new life and to get a new qualification to go with it?
I’ll take a look now , thank you xx

Hello lovely
Apply for everything you can as soon as possible - I think it's backdated to the day you claim, ( it always used to be) no matter how long they take to sort it out...I'm sure any extra money would be very welcome when you get your house

How are you doing today? Any progress?
Hope you are feeling a bit less sick and have managed to eat more than a croissant

I love a bit of telly me....watching joan on itvx at the min, I also like those ch5 dramas they do over 4 nights.

I read the Tattooist of Auschwitz...I thought it was really good, made me cry.
I also like anything by kate. Morton xx

Hi Munchyseeds2,
How’s your day been?
I’ve just been very naughty as there’s a subway next door and I ordered not one but three cookies and I’m embarrassed to say but I ate them all. They weren’t small either . I’m craving healthy food though and I’m craving a Sunday roast .
I will try and claim for what I can but my head is so jumbled at the moment I can’t focus on one thing for too long but my support worker is helping me with that .
I’m ok today thank you , well I’m not ok but I’m ok considering if that makes sense . It helps a lot to be able to talk on here , I feel like I’ve met so many lovely people on here , you all was there for me when everyone else turned their back. I will be forever thankful 😌
I haven’t heard anything else today unfortunately but my mental health coordinator said that the email that the boss of the mental health team sent to the council was very very good. She stated he made it very clear that the accommodation offered to me wasn’t in any way suitable for me .
I’ve just had 3 rather large cookies 🍪 I’m ashamed to say , I thought I’d buy 3 (telling myself it was because it was cheaper) and thought I’ll eat 1, then I thought well I haven’t finished my cup of tea yet so I’ve got to have another then the other cookie was looking really lonely in the bag on its own so I had to put it with his friends and gobbled that too!
Oh I love dramas , when I get my home I’m going to be a sad telly freak who puts her pjs on as 5pm and shuts shop for the night.
I haven’t read anything I’m looking online at it now xx
