Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a good day
Any plans for the weekend? 1 -
Housework and laundry,those are my plans for the weekend @Jimm_Scope,I hope the excitement's not too much for me.1
-
To be fair @Teigr, while my mum is over on Saturday it's in part to help me with getting some recycling over to our local recycling centre. In fact apart from that, and then lunch with my mum afterwards, I don't have anything on this weekend really.1

No I've nobody. I'm very nervous, can I write down what I want to say. My signal on my phone not always the best and I'm. Worried Il be cut offJimm_Scope said:It shouldn't matter if it's over the phone or in person @Amberpearl from the perspective of the outcome. Of course it can matter if you find doing things in-person very anxiety inducing. Do you have someone to sit with you to support you through the assessment? They can help you remember things to bring up and just be a bit of support for what could be a stressful thing.
So do I still have a chance even. Though they can't see me1 -
Yes, you can write down notes and everything you want to say. That's a really good thing to do, especially if there's nobody available to sit with you. If you have concerns about your phone signal let them know at the start of the call. They should attempt to call you back if anything happens. You still have a chance, even though they cannot see you. Many people have had telephone assessments and received PIP.Amberpearl said:

Sounds like your mr has a really hard life,drink sleep drink then has to get up an hour early,it must be difficult for him!Ada said:
To be honest At this moment I regret the phone call. I already went through all this chat with docs. Years ago.Beaver79 said:It is not surprising you are exhausted today @Ada You have done a really good thing. We are here for you if you need to chat. Take care.
All I wanted was sleepers that work. Now instead I have to cut back the strength on those that don’t work. I do get it. But it’s not going to get me sleeping. Have to see what these additional meds are he didn’t actually say just that there not a sleeper just will make me drowsy.
I just feel to old and to tired to go over old stuff.
And mr not happy. He likes things the way they are. It messes with routine. He’s had to go pick up my new strength meds and the additional ones. But doc only giving me a few days of the additional ones so it could mean mr got to go again next week.
Between me n you n Scope Family he has routine. Drink sleep drink. And once a month my meds.
He had to get up a hour earlier.
Wish I hadn’t made that call.1 -
@Ada there's no need to apologise, you don't have to specifically say hello to everyone everyday! I know you wish me a good day regardless
I'm doing alright today thank you! I hope your new medication helps things1 -

I'm. Not sure what they will ask. But I desperately need the extra money0 -
I'm shattered had xray then went to town did a lot walking so went for a cup of tea to sit down, this old lady is sat on next table counting her change, I said what you having coffee or tea my treat. So she sat on my table talking to me.
Then met my daughter we went to lunch then took baby to the park. Finally resting my back because it aching. I did buy some new trainers tho and a top and a new costa travel mug2 -
I had a good day at my mums also saw my granddaughter before she goes to Disneyland Paris tomorrow for a few days.I’m just settling down to watch Gogglebox.
Enjoy the rest of your night everyone.@Beaver79
Glad your results weren’t as bad as expected but look after yourself.
@Sandy_123
That was a lovely thing to do buying that lady a coffee, I bet it made her day.
Enjoy spending time with your daughter and granddaughter.
@Ada
I hope the meds help you as you can’t go on much longer without some decent sleep.And you’d never drive us mad we are here to listen 😊
❤️2 -
Crikey forgot about gogglebox just put it on now, it dont feel like a Friday2

@ada I didn't see your post about new meds until tonight. You are so brave telling the doctor your trouble with sleeping meds and why you need them. I'm so glad he properly listened and is going to work with you to find a solution.
@Beaver79 I'm so glad you got your diagnosis. Sometimes high cholesterol can be genetic. You might find your parents suffered from it too.
@Sandy_123 that was a lovely act of kindness to that lady today. I always find you get more pleasure in giving.
I have had a rough few days with low mood. I'm hoping to conquer it tomorrow
