and die of being cold

I've just turned down lunch, and eaten sweets and cake instead. Weight come on easily when you do that too.

how much do you want to lose mp?

Re. Therapy, I have often wanted to leave, but haven't ever actually left, came close last Saturday tho when she was being non-fluffy

Which bits of the Cotswolds do people like particularly?

The pretty bits.

It's probably all muddy and icy this time of year. I prefer peaty earth underfoot to Cotswold sludge.

The only places I know work peat are some of the Scottish isles.

Under the pavement here is just liquid chocolate.

I'm feeling very low. I really need to get back to the maths, but can't concentrate.

Snowy, be kind to yourself, maths has been around for squillions of years, it will be there when you are ready to pick it up
Do you do any crafty type things? I find them quite good when I can't face doing other things
How many times a day do you have carers coming in? (I'm a relative newbie, so not sure of your story)
Thinking of you

The Cotswolds are lovely, we often pop to Broadway for lunch, as it's not too far away, but I love all of the villages

3-4 times a day. I don't have anything crafty at the moment, not sure what to knit.

Can you do one of the wooly hugs blanket, made up of squares? It won't matter about your tension if you just do lots of squares. Or a corner blanket, where you start with three stitches and increase the first of every row.

Millie have you been to Snowshill Manor? I go to Broadway after there sometimes.

I can't seem to get the effort to get out of my chair... only 3-4 days til I see CPN.

Snowshill Manor is nice, used to know someone who worked there.

What will the CPN do? I don't have one, so never really know how they support people. I saw one today, but in the same way I saw the receptionist and other people at the cmht place.

I don't know if there's anything she can do, maybe she can ask about increasing my meds, or touch base with me more often (I'm not psychotic, just low now, but psychosis can come hand in hand with the depression, and I avoid professionals when I'm psychotic).

I've not been to snowshill yet, but it's on out to do list!
Snowy, do you have any other support from people in real life?

I don't have anyone close by, I live alone.

So what's everyone having for tea/dinner?

Just had a peek at the website...'Snowshill Manor currently closed, reopens 28th March'.

Hope you are ok Snowy.

I'm not sure what I'm having for dinner, probably a(nother) jacket potato (I've been buying the frozen ones, as I can't be arsed at the moment)
Just waiting for OH to get home, it's been a long week

Is snowshill national trust?

we've had our ritual Friday post-CAMHS McPukes - veggie deli wrap thing (430 cals) and medium fries (350? cals)

today has come to almost 1400, not running tomorrow so that's ok

I'm having plain fish and a range of veggies. I was planning on cooking a beef casserole but missed the window for the slow cooker and this didn't involve chopping up meat.

Had pate on toast and an apple for lunch, washed down with builder's tea.

I love my slow cooker, there's a slow cooker group on Facebook and they cook some amazing stuff :)
