I think, anyway! Not sure now! So I'll put it to the MN jury...and I'll happily apologize, because I have the ability to own my shit.

Chatting to a friend about going out tonight (after the week I've had, I bloody deserve it!)

She started on a massive stretch about me claiming PIP to "piss it up the wall", I obviously need the disposible income, etc, etc. It was really bitchy!

She's made catty comments in the past, but tbh I thought that was down to me- I have a weird sense of humor, and take the piss out of myself all the time. But never like this.

She said that, if I was independant enough to go out alone (I'll be meeting a friend, but eill be making my own way) I shouldn't be claiming Personal INDEPENDANCE Payment, and that "I'm what's wrong with the government atm!

I sent her a REALLY sarky text in reply, but it's made me doubt myself!

I need to calm down...

Here if you need a rant.

I'm on day three of giving up smoking atm, which is The Worst Day for physical withdrawal. I'll be crocheting a lot I think! 😂

Well done. I'm not at the quitting stage yet. I'm at the sticking my head in the sand, my fingers in my ears going 'lalala' and just ignoring my rising blood pressure.

I said, "A microwaved fry up sounds hideous! I wonder if they make one?"

I remember a fry up in a tin as a kid 🤮

I wondered if it was a Scottish thing because my English friends all looked horrified 😂

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 10:52

Ooh well done Radley!

I smoke for other people’s safety! I did stop after swine flu, for 6 months (a coma will do that to you Wink) but started again! Ugh.

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 10:52

Not a 6 month coma! I stopped for 6 months. I was only out cold for 7 days!

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 11:03

I quit once for a year!

I have to go and collect my glasses later- may even post a pic! (Identifying, yy...I have no fucks to give 😀)

Oh...and I do believe you are talking about "the full monty"? It had beans, sausages, bacon, and pieces of egg in a can?

this makes me glad to be vegan 😁

Well done Radley!

Bleurgh yes that was it, absolutely rotten 🤮

Haha I like that!

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 11:26

Speaking of vegan I’m a recent veggie. If anyone has any recipes/tips for new ideas I’m all ears (eyes?)

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 11:36

You can substitute quorn for pretty much anything! (Well, I can't- I'm alergic for some reason!). I need to reccommend tesco Spicy Bean Burgers

I will copy a fuckload of links for you later.

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 11:38

Oh no, that’s a pain! I’m off to Tesco in a bit so I’ll have a look for the spicy bean burgers!

I ended up on a halal meat thread and did some research on meat production which scunnered me so I can’t stomach it any more.

Thanks Radley Smile

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 11:47

Is there anything you don't eat? (I know meat, before you start😀).

Just came on to say I think your bloody awesome and that your friend was being a cunt!

I claim Pip,I say claim pip they've stopped my money(arseholes)and we've had to appeal despite the fact that I have to now take over 14,000 tablets a year to keep me alive,have arthiritis,rheumatoid arthiritis,brain damage(that includes having to use a wheelchair now,long term and short term memory loss,facial blindness and being about as dependent as a 2 year old child now)Ulcerative colitis,IBS,a severed nerve that runs down my spine and now the specialists think I have ME(family and friends are praying it isn't,I'm bloody praying it's that and not MS)I've had to drop so called family since I became disabledOP so far my friends have been amazing and so have my 5DC and my poor DH,but some of my family and complete strangers that argue that I don't need a disabled bay(because I look younger than I am go figure being as you can be born disabled)I know longer take anyone's crap and for that I do feel better.

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 12:03

Radley mushrooms give me the boak but other than that I’m pretty easy going with food Grin handily I love most veg although have to be careful with pulses as although I love them my IBS doesn’t Grin

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 12:04

ohtheholidays if you're staying, you'll need your kit...

-attention seeking lego
-gin
-PG app if that's your thing
And
-did I mention gin?

Seriosly- I only JUST discovered gin! I had some that tasted like Parma Violets the other day, and it was lush!

Have you sent off all your MR gubbins?

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 12:07

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 12:09

ohtheholidays bloody system is awful! I hope you can get it resolved soon!

Cheers Radley Smile I can’t do booze, it hits my stomach and bounces so have a Parma violet gin for me Grin

My poison of choice is ludicrously strong espresso coffee ☕️

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 12:13

YeTalk sorry for banging on about another thread but...I think we just discovered what happens when two OTS people form a fucked up tag team...Can't help it. I'm creasing!

BaaPlop wahahahah oh don’t! She’s certainly an odd duck isn’t she? And if I think someone is odd that usually means they’re really out there odd since I’m far from sparklingly normal myself Grin

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 12:15

I have just realised that hefty espresso consumption may not be helping my masking efforts in the slightest!

Then I realised that I don’t give a shit Grin

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 12:15

I'm pretty odd myself tbf! 😀😀😀🐏💩

Queenofthestress · 13/08/2018 12:17

I am so confused

YeTalkShiteHen · 13/08/2018 12:18

And that’s why I think you’re bloody wonderful! I really struggle to work out NT people, it’s so nerve wracking! At least with people who are ND then I know I won’t be judged even if they think I’m batshit Grin

Haha I think I’m the same, we have 2 coffee machines, a bean grinder, and a cafetière thingy. Coffee is my drug of choice!
