I love the pictures, they have made me smile a lot.

It's so cold here in knitting myself a hat.

are we allowed to see the hat?

what is everyone else up to this evening?

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 04/02/2015 19:52

Yes but on two conditions.

  1. I have all the hugs and tea because my boss is coming to see me on Friday to say goodbye and this is a Very Big Deal. Mainly because of lots of messed up stuff about being too big to see her. Which I cannot make sense in words.

And

  1. I need to get my charger for my phone.

I'm trying to figure out what to say to cpn (email).

I liked the pics too.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 04/02/2015 19:57

Here is my hat, the black and grey one and a baby hat, which is the purple one.

would you rather be Mentally Normal or fat?

The black and grey one looks nice and warm. Nice colour for the baby hat.

Millie2013 · 04/02/2015 20:05

They're lovely, Caulk!
Snowy, can we help?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 04/02/2015 20:05

Thanks Grin I like doing baby hats because they make up so quickly.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 04/02/2015 20:06

Well that's 50 minutes of my life that I'm glad have passed. Talked about horribly upsetting things but feel strangely calm.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 04/02/2015 20:07

Lots and lots of well dones for you.

Millie2013 · 04/02/2015 20:07

I hope the calm lasts, MP. Is DP there to give you a hug?

Mentalpsychiatrist · 04/02/2015 20:09

Am sitting in the hospital car park gathering my thoughts. DP will brlle waiting for me and she's very good at hugs Smile

SnowyMouse · 04/02/2015 20:17

(((( mp ))))

SnowyMouse · 04/02/2015 20:19

I don't know millie, I don't know where to start.

Millie2013 · 04/02/2015 20:29

If I'm struggling, I quite often send an email to myself, just pouring out my thoughts. I used to share an office with a lady who was passive aggressive and when I was pissed off at her I'd do that and not hold back..at all
Thankfully, I always sent it to myself, otherwise it could have been awkward!!

am watching Shoah

not a mood brightener unless one chooses to focus on the extraordinary resilience of survivors and other favourite themes instead of how Poland was so completely stuffed full of death camps

It's Wolf Hall on the TV in this house. I fell asleep during last week's so I'm a bit lost.

Millie2013 · 04/02/2015 21:40

Nothing on TV here, for fear of waking smallperson. I could, of course, just go downstairs and watch TV, but that would involve a complicated setting up of the camera/monitor to spy on her and I have no idea where the chargers are
And I'm too lazy

Millie2013 · 04/02/2015 22:08

Non-parental type people, can I ask a question? What brought you to Mumsnet? I only came on here as I was planning/having a baby (I forget at which point I joined) and it wouldn't have occurred to me to join as a non parent. But it's a fab resource for non parenting stuff too and I wish I'd known about it sooner!

there are so many random things to google that bring up mumsnet threads in the first few results !

happy Thursday everyone Flowers

what are we looking forward to most today? apart from going back to bed at the other end of the day, I'm looking forward to snuggling small lamb person and maybe possibly a trial little run to see how calf behaves

Lamb is so sweet! I'm just lying here with the cat.

Still working on this regain-sufficient-mental-normality-for-workplace-safety-and-appropriateness-by-next-Monday lark.

I'm not very sure how it's progressing.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 05/02/2015 08:55

I have eleven secret children's don't post about much.

This is my standard response when asked why I'm here.
