I love the running elephant but it’s hilarious that you don’t know where it’s come from 🤣🤣🤣

Where has it come from?I didn’t send a gif or anything it just appeared. I did drop my phone earlier so maybe that’s why?And even if I did open the gif thing I never searched for ‘running elephant in pink converse’ I’m honestly baffled xx

Evening @RaspberryBeretxx , my chips and drink (s) were lovely thank you I’m stuffed now though. It was really nice to get out of the room for abit and the restaurant has a big glass wall at the back looking out over the lake, very peaceful .
Oh I used to love going to soft play when my children were younger. I could sit and have a nice hot and cold drink and watch them have fun, although they would return sweaty messes 😂
I used to love the tiny trolleys in supermarkets they are so cute! I’d love to see 15 demented preschoolers running around Lidl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My daughter , she’s 17 now and she has really bad OCD and when she comes food shopping with me she re-stacks the trolley into neat piles as I’m throwing it in 😂 so I have to walk around with all neat piles in my trolley .
Thank you so much for your support and for being happy for me , that’s so nice and makes me feel warm inside . 6 days tomorrow woo hoo xx

I love the running elephant 🤣🤣. When I was reading your message I was trying to work out whether you were referring to demented preschoolers or what 🤣.

Ah, that’s sweet that your daughter likes a neatly stacked trolley. To be fair, I’d quite like someone to stack my trolley neatly 😆.

It was nice at soft play today as not too busy for some reason. It is nice to sit in peace for a while 😁.

Hope you have an amazing sleep 😴 xx

That running elephant is fantastic!

I’ve had a nice day. We look after our baby granddaughter on Mondays and pick up the 4 year old from school. So lovely and cuddly xxx

No worries at all. Love the look of your chips and drinks. it must be good to get out of the hotel room a bit. How are the breakfasts?

I know what you mean about hot drinks. I had a Pepsi max at soft play today as I was thirsty and a coffee wouldn’t have helped! I also went to Lidl. Dd was thrilled as there used to just be one mini trolley so you had to be lucky to get it but now there are about 15 😳. I can’t quite imagine the chaos if all 15 were being driven about by demented preschoolers at the same time 🤣.

That’s great that you can get planning with furniture, white good and grants. Hope you get all sorted. So so lovely that your children are excited and love the pics. I’m really happy for you all. Tomorrow it’ll be only 6 days! Xx

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , sorry I didn’t respond sooner my internet is playing up today so I’m stood outside where there seems to be the only signal 😂
Thank you so much it’s lovely isn’t it . I literally cannot wait now. I’ve shown my children the pictures and they said they love it. I love that it has a downstairs loo and a shed 😂
This time next week hopefully I’ll be in it . I hope you’re having a good day?xx

Such exciting times the house looks lovely and as you recover you can explore the woodland ut hasca very healing effect on mind and body. I just came to day maybe you could paint one wall teal as a homage to Tealpoet! Fingers crossed for a quick move in date. This situation has restored my faith in humankind and the power of miracles.

Hi @Playgroundincident , I hope you are ok? Thank you so much , it really is lovely and hopefully if my leg gets better I’m going to definitely go on some walks in the woodlands.
Im definitely going to pay homage to @TealPoet and also have lots of spoon themes in homage to all of you too. It’s a miracle isn’t it , all the help and support and kindness, I’m stunned by it all tbh . And I’ll be forever grateful xx

Evening Laura and spoonies, hope you enjoyed your chips and hot chocolate. It’s been a lovely day here today and I have done a a tip run to get rid of rubbish.
Won’t be long until you move in Laura, less than a week tomorrow. I bet you cannot wait 😁 xxx

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs , I’m glad you’ve had a lovely day . What is it about tip runs that make you feel so good?😂I love them they are so therapeutic.
My chips and hot chocolate were lovely thank you, I’m still sat here don’t want to go back to room 😂
I know it’s so very near , we need to do a wattsapp group so I can send you all a video of it xx

Looks delish. My niece says you need to add a bit of mayo 😅.

Weekend was good. Didn't get up to much though. Have a very quiet life, which is fine by me.

Hope you're feeling OK. Remember to rest yourself and don't overdo thingsBrew

😂😂😂😂I don’t do mayo , I even have a McChicken sandwich from McDonald’s with only lettuce on . Im not a saucy person really.

Im glad to hear you had a good weekend , I’m same as you love a quiet chilled no drama life although the drama has entered the building with all its aunts, cousins and second and third cousins this year.
Im feeling ok thank you got anxiety today but I can’t expect to feel fine everyday but at least I know now it’s just a bad day not a bad life xx

@Imbluedalale I've made it through the working day with some good news for a change. Management wanted to increase our time in office from 1 to 2 days per week but there isn't actually enough desks to accommodate more than the one day we do so that was a relief for many. Womens Aid offer grants too. I only had a quick look but I'm sure you are eligible. I will text a link xx

Oh that’s brilliant @nornironlady , I’m so pleased for you.

Hope this week flies by for you, nice as the hotel room is!!
Are your support team going to help you get settled and get started with the bits you need?....I hope your applying for everything that may help ... don't you dare feel you shouldnt!
We are cheering you on lovely xxx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 , How’s your Monday going so far?
I really hope it does too, I’m not going to be staying in a hotel room for a while that’s for sure 😂, however I am very thankful I’m here but having a home means I can have my children with me again that’s the main thing . My support worker is going to help me apply for furniture I think it’s called white goods so kitchen stuff like fridge , cooker and washing machine. I’m not sure yet but she did mention about grants so hopefully I may be able to get some more furniture with that if not I can manage without for time being and get it as and when I can .
Thank you so much for cheering me on , I’m so glad you’re all here with me xx

Good Monday morning to the Spoonies 😉One week to go @Imbluedalale that is so exciting I bet. With only 7 days, if there is anything you need help with just ask. As long as it involves helping from behind a screen I'm yours! I'm finding it a wee bit hard to get going this morning but it's a WFH day so I can get myself together for leaving the house tomorrow. I will get my hair washed later and make myself a bit more presentable for the world beyond my front door 😄

Hi @nornironlady , how’s your WFH day going so far? Good I hope . One week to go Eeekkkk. Oh I cannot wait. Thank you so much for your offer of help that’s so kind, I have to see my support worker to see what I’m able to apply for , I was meant to see her today but her little one isn’t well and she had to go pick her up from school. Hope you enjoy washing your hair, I hate doing mine it’s too thick even after loads has fell out . I’ve got all tufty bits at the front and sides and haven’t any hairspray so I’ve been using my face spray to seal them all down 😂I look like I’ve had a mini electric shock on my hair xx

oh and a downstairs loo, that’ll be so handy! And a shed!

im so pleased for you 🥰. Only a week to go!
