Those of us who stay in bed all morning do not die of cold.

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 09:39

Awake (barely)

Flowers Millie and Caulky

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 09:40

Well done for awakeness Enpo.

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 09:43

Thanks

You must be knackered Caulk

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 09:44

Yes. But I didn't take the quetiapine so I'm also less drowsy than usual. So it's swings and roundabouts. I'm embarrassed at my general stupidity more than anything else, but never mind.

Powering through with knitting and coffee and Netflix.

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 09:50

Ah don't be embarrassed. You don't know how you would've felt if you hadn't got yourself somewhere safe, and, while this time you found you felt okay by the time the duty psych saw you, another time things might've deteriorated instead of getting better.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 09:55

Yes, you are right. Thankfully Lovely Therapist is big on contingency plans and writing down what to do in every situation, so I didn't need to think whether I should or not, if that makes sense.

Everyone has gone out, I've just heard the cars go. Shall I have a huge rave-y party?

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 10:00

Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea that couldn't possibly go wrong in any way. Grin

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 10:02

I feel that putting it on the internet and telling people I'm doing it is the way forward, and probably the best way to stay safe. I know people usually have drugs so I can offer anti psychotics or benzos.

In other news, we have snow on the ground and it's bloody melting.

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 10:05

Yes, open invite on FB surely the way to go.

No snow here at all this year Sad

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 10:15

I'm too busy being Mentally Disordered to use FB at the moment, I might accidently let someone from work know that I'm not well but well enough for a rave

You're down south aren't you? IoW has snow forecast for this week so you might get some.

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:17

snow on the ground here too! but only a bit

went for run with many jumpers, normal coat etc on top of my t-shirt which was last night's nightie and no bra whatsoever - my poor withered nungas

house is really cold, am shutting off the bits that don't have radiators and wondering whether I could have a bath fully clothed

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 10:17

Yes, southeast. Fingers crossed Smile

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:18

OP posts:
Enpoid · 19/01/2015 10:18

Untrammelled nungas?! Shock

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:19

I mean whistles, glowsticks, 'orns

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:21

not a lot of movement obviously

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 10:22

Sure. Will leave the front door open so you can all come in, i'm off to shower so you'll have to let yourselves in. Don't drink the red milk though, it's not mine.

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:29

yuck milk

I've got a strobe light somewhere, some tiny hot pants that say BADASS, some fishnet dance tights and a gonococcal hip Grin

have even got some tunes

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:30

Love the new thread title

Enpoid · 19/01/2015 10:38

YES

It's a proper do Grin

Shall I bring Mavis? She was a bit of a raver back in the day

Mitchy1nge · 19/01/2015 10:38

'let's go fucking ballistic! 95 million miles a second! watch out!'

that would be a better thread title

oh have not been out for AGES

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/01/2015 10:41

Sure, all welcome, including Mavis.
I'm planning on staying in bed knitting so you will all have to sort yourselves out.
No drinking the red milk though.
