Thank you so much mrs

Thank you why, I was admitted into a secure unit where I was monitored, I had a doctor who came in to review my mental health and my tablets and decided that the tablets that I am on are fine for me and the issue would be better resolved with a psychiatrist as it stems from my past. I also was reluctant to be on any higher medication. I went to A&E after struggling with suicidal thoughts and they believed it was best for me to stay in a safe place where I could be monitored.

Ooh. Forgot to post my cross stitch last night. You can see the tree coming on. It's bloody slow going though!

Flouncy said I would be kept busy until Easter with the 2 Heritage ones, but I reckon this one will keep me going til then alone. And beyond! Xmas Grin

The weather is gorgeous here, you wouldn't believe it Grin sunny , blue skies not a cloud in the sky, it has gone colder though but l don't mind that it is just lovely to see such a nice day Smile

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 20/02/2020 14:28

I don't know how you have the patience to do that Fluffy. I wouldn't. It looks great.

WreckTangled · 20/02/2020 17:01

The cinema was really good. Couldn't eat where we were going to because the kitchen had a problem which is annoying as I was looking forward to it. Bought the dc some bits and mil paid for lunch so that's good.

Mrsmadevans · 20/02/2020 17:07

Wreck glad you had a good day love Smile
Does anyone want a 20% off code for M & S , l have 2 going .
Am thinking what to do for Rudolph day on Tuesday and l suddenly thought l would write my cards...... l know l am nuts , it's just l hate doing them and when l am in the mood l thought l would do them but l will lose them and half the ppl l send them to will need money in them, plan aborted Grin normal service resumed Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2020 17:18

It was a good idea while it lasted, Mrs! Xmas Grin

Wreck, I'm glad you had fun.

The cross stitch is a mindfulness type thing for me. I like the inability to think about much else while I'm doing it. You know I'm not renowned for my patience in general, why!

Mrs, it's lovely here too. Not only was it light when I left the office, it was actually still sunny. Spring is definitely on the way!

Hope you are on the road to recovery @Mumbassa2

Lovely cross stitch Fluffy

We have had strange weather today. Sunshine so bright I had to close the blinds to watch the tv (catching up with Endeavour from the weekend while DS was out with a friend) and rain and hail of biblical proportions.

Mrs I buy my supermarket stamps on Rudolph days. It's after pay day and a memorable date so I don't forget.

Fluffy as our resident TopCashback expert can you tell me what I need to do about a purchase that hasn't tracked? I bought Green Flag cover for DD on Monday and it hasn't shown up. The instructions recommended temporarily disabling adblocker (I did) but no idea what I need to do now.

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2020 18:19

Woolly, you usually have to give it 7 days, then if it hasn't tracked then, raise a support ticket (www.topcashback.co.uk/account/enquiries/missingcashbackclaims/submit/). They'll investigate and come back to you.

The flipping app is clearly not posting my posts. Have tried posting twice to you Mumbasa but no luck :( I really hope you start to feel better soon.

I had 9 red cabbages appear today!!!

Wreck, that's a big cat!! But utterly adorable.

Why, a screaming hamster and a moody one is funny Grin

Fluffy your cross stitches are amazing.

Spring is definitely on it's way, the trees along Stamford Road are full of blossom!!

The vet bill was for essentials fluffy, so the price wasn't too bad, next job is to get her done, I do NOT want her having puppies Grin

Mrsmadevans · 20/02/2020 20:04

@EmrysAtticus that is brilliant well done Em!
@NoWordForFluffy clocks go forward in 5 weeks yay! It was still light at quarter to 6 tonight Grin
Is it me or has this Winter been interminable for everyone ?
@TheWoollybacksWife that is a great idea l must do something like that , it would be prep for the expenditure too Smile
Just going to watch the secrets of the museum on BBC 2 , it is just sublime Star

What a stunner PJ!

PJMasksGhekko · 20/02/2020 21:09

She's naughty, but loyal, funny, pain in the backside, the list goes on lol.

Thank you Emrys

WreckTangled · 20/02/2020 21:33

She's lovely PJ!

Mrsmadevans · 20/02/2020 23:06

Ahhh @PJMasksGhekko she's adorable so beautiful soft & fluffy and full of life and love Smile

Mumbassa2 · 21/02/2020 01:10

Thank you for the well wishes everyone, it means a lot❤️❤️. I agree that it’s best to take a step back from social media sometimes, I was only in hospital for a short time and the rest of it I spent focusing on my family. I definitely don’t want to be on social media as much as I used to be.

Lovely cross stitch fluffy

I wrapped lots of presents early last year, forgot what was in them and had to unwrap them and rewrap mrs it’s much better to leave itGrin

Love the cabbages emrys!

She’s gorgeous pj

Morning!

It's rather windy again. I'm bored of wind now! The washing put out overnight is probably dry though! 😂

I'm hopefully going to catch up today. I had to do 5 applications yesterday, which took loads of my time up. I have a plan today, so will see if I can stick to it! 😂 Something normally crops up!

Your dog is very cute, PJ; you can see how playful she is in that photo!

Wreck, I forgot to comment on your enormous cat yesterday. He's huge! 😱😂

Mrs, I get off the train at about 5.45 and it was still half light and wasn't quite dark when I walked through the door 15 minutes later. I'm loving watching the days lengthen.

This winter has been awful. Not overly cold, but wet and windy. I've done loads less at the allotment than I'd like.

Emrys, good going on the cabbages. Word of warning: snails and slugs LOVE brassicas, so you'll need to keep an eye out for the slimy bastards.

WreckTangled · 21/02/2020 07:15

He's giant fluffy! I always forget until I see other cats. Still can't believe he was in the rescue centre twice. He's a pain but he's not like most cats, more like a dog Grin

I'm fed up of the weather too. Have to go food shopping with the dc today which won't be fun then dd has physio later after that she's going to a friends for a sleepover.

Mrsmadevans · 21/02/2020 08:32

Morning everyone bit windy here too @NoWordForFluffy but at least it's not raining 😁 , you have been so busy I hope you are able to stick to your plan today 🤗
Wreck hope you have a good day shopping with the darling children and hope darling daughters physio goes well, nearly the weekend phew😀
Mum that's the sort of thing I do all the time I won't doing presents or doing the cards until at least a month before Christmas I have totally learned my lesson l can tell you! 😁
Better shift, off to Mum's , have a good day everyone 😀

PJMasksGhekko · 21/02/2020 09:54

Morning everyone, it's my birthday today, have got money so I'm going to spend it all on meeeeee Grin

Must get dressed and walk the dog, she is getting naughty!!.

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/02/2020 10:55

Happy birthday PJ hope you have lovely day.
