Thanks for reminder Becca rushes to get first pick of comfy sheltered branch !!!
Settles in with fleecy blankets etc !

Yeah, I get that. I did like Hetty Feather though haha. My friends and I watch different kids shows all the time on youtube when we need a break from our Uni work and other mind numbing but stressful commitments.

I'm home from uni for the weekend to try and finish sorting paperwork out because sfe have messed up with my tuition fees, I mean they messed up my maintenance loan as well but that's sorted now thankfully. And I know I should be focusing on that but instead of thinking about that and how to sort it in the quickest and most efficient way possible my subconscious has decided to work on something completely different, not at all pressing but enough to disturb my sleep last night (waking me at four in the morning) like I'd been struck by lighting with the fact that I seem to have fallen for a good friend. Who seems to feel the same way or at least similarly but now he's working at the other end of the country for a year and neither of us are a fan of calling/texting/emailing because we're both on the autism spectrum and now I don't know what to do.

Do I wait till he gets back and hope he doesn't find someone else? do I message him and ask him for his address and write him a letter? (I do actually need his address so I can send him his birthday and christmas presents) do I message him and tell him how I fell and hope for the best?

I've never had this before and the entire thing is making me feel sick.

I do think some of my anxiety about uni and assignments and the issues with my tuition fees are probably being projected here but I don't like it at all.

It sounds like distraction to me, you need to get student finance sorted out - if it isn't you could find yourself kicked off your course. You need to prioritise that.

The relationship it sounds like you need to wait BUT I'm shit at relationships so that's probably the wrong advice!

Totally think you need to prioritise sorting out student finance. That's the most important thing right now.

I get the distraction thing, I have that too and I know how hard it is to work on what you need to, but that's what you need to be concentrating on right now.

I need to have my meds and get an early night (I'm aware this rarely works out well for me these days) but again last night I didn't get rest until gone 2am and it's really impacting on my health which is shit anyway as you all know. So fingers/claws crossed.

First I need to raid pinks fridge for that cheesecake though.....

haha, go get the cheese cake. Oh yeah it's totally distraction. I'm sorting through paperwork and photocopying letters and sending stuff tomorrow, unfortunately I can't send it all till tuesday but it'll be done sooner rather than later. I have no desire to tell the guy anything because I'm a wimp and relationships are terrifying and even though I like him I like where I am with him now as friends.

Ne'er a day will pass before us, when we have not tried our best! Kept our cauldrons boiling nicely, cast our spells with zest!

I loved the ITV series so much!

I'm very tired after a school trip to London yesterday. Out of the house for 12hrs and non-stop the entire time. I didn't even get time to grab a coffee!! Was a good day, but knackering.

Sending feathery love to everyone. Welcome to the tree namechange pink I hope you had a great dinner - sounds yummy.

becca I hope your IBA flare doesn't last long. My tummy still hasn't properly settled since all of the issues in September. I think it's partly due to my thyroid levels being a bit off. Remind me to call the GP on Monday to get a blood test form.

We closed to Early Helpnthis week. Feels like I've just about got the hang of riding a bike and then the stabilisers have been ripped off and I've been given a push! There's a long story behind the reasons. We were going to be open to them until January. But it should all work out for the best I hope

Woken feeling dreadful thinking of maybe trying out of hours as last night was again horrendous but feel like I'd be wasting their time. Need to get food as well can't afford to do both. Maybe I'll wait and see if my meds help or not.

Weather dreadful here today.

Get some food, take your meds, cuddle yourself up somewhere cosy and see how you go. Weather was horrendous here last night. Our chimney has started leaking again. Call to the landlord Monday.

Got the letter through this morning confirming that we'll get the PIP back payment in on Tuesday. Hallelujah! Now we can re-apply for careers and get that back payment sorted too

Had to phone out of hours which is now 111. Took hours to get seen and I mean hours. Spoke to about six people! Got an infection and antibiotics but the antibiotics can interact with my diabetes meds and now I'm scared to take them.

Good news for the PIP!!

oh No! Have you had an interaction with those ones before? Have you taken some yet?

Totally exhausted now - tempted to go to bed

No. I rang 111 and spoke to a lovely nurse who told me nhsdirect Wales actually employ a pharmacist and she asked him and he said I'd be fine as I'm on small doses of both. I'm still scared though am about to take it. My ibs is really bad at the moment though I'm dreading that getting worse

Small doses but still effective obviously!

That settles it then, take your meds!

What helps when your IBS flares up? Does peppermint tea help with that too? It been working wonders for the bloating that I've had.

DH and I went for a little walk with dogdog this morning, found an awesome globe-shaped red & white spotted mushroom in the woods. The leaves are beautiful this time of year.

I took them about half an hour ago. Now having bad panic attacks and my bowel is spasming as well.

This is all honestly too much for me to cope with.

Peppermint makes mine worse (I know it doesn't for most people). im permanently in a state of panic, nothing that can be done for that, despite sounding completely calm like the nurse from 111 said and GP. It's an automatic response appearing calm - doesn't mean I am, its symptomatic of being abused as a child every time I showed any emotion, literally had it beaten out of me.

Am going to attempt rest now.

I love this time of year too. Though I've missed all my usual enjoyable things I can still walk where there are some leaves which I've done a couple of times.

Morning owls just popping in so I don’t lose you.

Becca How are you doing this morning?

pink you are not going to lose me!!! .

Still unwell, got meds and food. Hoping to rest after lunch.

Twit two! I can hear the real owls in the trees outside

Yet another night of crazy dreams, the 4th in a row where I feel like I haven't slept

I had wierd dreams too! In one I was taken by the mental health team to an abandoned house to prepare for therapy in another county and forced onto a bus which drove underground and under the sea.

Like I said. Wierd.

I have social worker this morning... Could be why!!

We never got there by the way just ended up at the abandoned cottage "because of NHS cuts"

Sorry Becca that must've been a horrible dream, but that is a little bit funny! Even in our dreams the lack of funding for the NHS is evident.

The DCs headteacher has been off sick since half term. Just found out that she has cancer, I think it's stage 4, but I haven't had that from a reputable source yet. She's in her 40s and the most amazing woman and teacher. I'm so upset by it

I'm sorry to hear that curtains

I've been unwell with blood sugars today and been told to stop my diabetes meds because they're interacting with the antibiotic afterall. Now need to take antibiotic and terrified to do so all over again. The GP I spoke to today said I should neve have been prescribed the antibiotics I was given.

I find trusting medics hard.
This does not help!!

Oh what a nightmare for you!

Just found out another friend has cancer.
