I've stuck her in front of fireman Sam, while I tidy up, around her

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 16:13

Good plan. She can come and hang out here if you like. I'm up for some fireman Sam watching.

and despite what the friend says- I am not a danger to others Hmm

SnowyMouse · 16/01/2015 17:34

Hmm Sad visitors for tomorrow have cancelled. Now I have a pizza that will need eating, that doesn't fit with my eating plans (and no freezer room).

Mentalpsychiatrist · 16/01/2015 17:45

What numpty suggested you were a danger to others Caulk?

It's the weekend and we're off to the pub for dinner later. Might have a G&T while I'm waiting. Have been remarkably mentally normal this week.

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 17:59

She's all your, Caulk :) And who the hell said that?

I've just realised I've got lots of stuff to watch, incl the Xmas Call the Midwife, Miranda, big bang anf silent witness
Must catch up!

SnowyMouse · 16/01/2015 18:11

Why on earth would they say that?

Ivytheterrible · 16/01/2015 18:15

Be warned Millie Xmas call the midwife is a bit traumatic if you are hormonal or emotional in any way. It made me weep anyway...

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 18:34

It's the "best" friend, the one who will "never forgive me" for the od and didn't speak to me for three months after it...

I'm known for being quite self aware, so I'm pretty sure I'm not a danger to others. Hmm

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 18:38

Thank you, Ivy, I'll keep it in mind

Caulk, that says a lot more about her than you

Mentalpsychiatrist · 16/01/2015 18:41

Caulk she's clearly an idiot and not worth wasting any mental capacity on.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 18:42

She is one of my housemates, so is around a lot, and we've been best friends for about seven years. I get that I'm not easy to live with sometimes, but I'd rather not be told it, especially if she thinks I'm dangerous towards others.

Reminder: I'm not.

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 18:43

Of course you're not. I wonder what her own history is, to make assumptions like that about people

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 18:44

Her history is a very very sheltered life.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 16/01/2015 18:45

Sheltered? She must have lived down a hole.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 18:48

She took some time between jobs a few years ago with what she believes was depression. Believe me though, when I say it wasn't. I know we can't see into peoples heads and stuff, but it really wasn't.

She grew up in a hole with is known as Cheshire.

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 19:05

I always worry more about people like that, than I worry about people who aspire to be mentally normal

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 19:34

Lovely friend has sent DD a lovely gift, I'm akways touched when someone does something nice for us

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 19:34

Aw, how sweet. I'm making tea if anyone wants some, that is a lovely thing of me to do

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 19:35

*always. Why does my phone fail to correct my typos, but keep insisting I write "gay", when I mean "hay"
Sort it out, phone

Millie2013 · 16/01/2015 19:35

Earl grey, milk please

Enpoid · 16/01/2015 19:36

Skimmed milk, one sweetener for me. Ta. Grin

SnowyMouse · 16/01/2015 19:40

skimmed milk please Smile

CaulkheadUpNorth · 16/01/2015 19:44

I have no sweeteners. Sorry. Would honey do?

I also need to make real tea food tea if anyone wants any?

Enpoid · 16/01/2015 19:45

It's alright, I carry my own Grin

I've had my tea - curry. Mmm.

SnowyMouse · 16/01/2015 19:46
