Morning everyone, thanks for all your wishes and sorry to make everyone concerned, I'm back home now. I got sent home at like 3am in the morning so didn't have chance to update as went straight to bed as was tired. I was put on 3 drips and had some medicine but they said I didn't have to stay in hospital as theres a long wait on beds if I don't want too, so wanted to come home. They are speaking to my consulant to rush things for me.

I feel alot better than what I was apprently I was massively dehydrated as my stoma (ileostomy) has been overactive so been losing alot of fluids from my body which is why the reason I felt so weak and tired, so after having alot of drips put in I feel better. I wanted to come home so I didn't miss the chance in voting today

Good morning everyone! How are you all?
I had a nice day off yesterday, I'm around today except for at lunch time where I'm gonna be walking down to my polling station.
Don't forget to vote if there's an election in your area!1 -
Morning @Jimm_Scope2

Ah hello @Ada, there was no need to be worried about me on Monday! It just can take time to get back into the groove of things after some time away you know? I appreciate it though 1

Just a random question in response to "don't forget to vote"
In the past I have sometimes decided not to use my vote if I feel I don't have enough knowledge to use it responsibly if that makes sense. I don't know if that's justified or silly?? I suppose no one has all the info really. All my family members also say that if I only know a little bit I would probably make a better judgement than an average person with more knowledge, I won't comment on that or whether I disagree but was nice of them to say

I've done something similiar in the past, where I didn't like any of the candigates so decided just not to vote at all and leave it to others. But I went and voted this morning.

I think it's important to exercise your democratic right. I will say, knowing even a little about what is going on in the world probably puts you in a better place than many people to make an informed decision.66Mustang said:@Jimm_Scope

Even if you don't know a lot, a quick check on what your local parties/candidates are proposing will likely give you enough information for you to be able to decide!
I do think even if you can't decide, a spoiled ballot is better than no ballot.1 -

Thanks for the reply Jimm but thought I'd mention this bit!!
My Dad used to spoil his police and crime commissioner ballot paper because, as an ex police officer, he loathed the relatively new idea of politicising the police - when he joined he swore to serve the crown and country but not a particular political party. Maybe the oath has changed now?
Just to add a little thing I found quite amusing. I have an elderly and kind of eccentric family member, who I won't identify... they voted for a liberal candidate because "they were the only one with an English sounding name". So they voted liberal, but the motive for doing so was anything BUT liberal!!
A vote is a vote I suppose2 -
Thank you @Ada ... I wouldn't say I'm interesting, just that I've had a lot of varying life experiences/traumas/ accidents, some my own doing and some just 'bad luck' or other people ... but I am lucky to have had the strength to push through and carry on. Much like yourselfAda said:Shout out to @WhatThe
@WelshBlue
morning. I wish you would chat on here. You both are so interesting xx
I may not be proud of some of the things I've done, but am damned proud of how I turned out ...
I'm like Marmite ... either love me or hate me. I can be with my wife and someone we know can talk to her and totally ignore me. I still sleep at night though. Usually I think that person is a total dingbat too. Small town minds can be the most closed
I do read the thread, but you've all got such a nice rapport going on it sort of seems a shame to be an interloper
Betty is beautiful
My day is trying to pot up plants ... bringing home to roost how useless my hands are getting for simple things
Rain will soon stop play. So over it now. About the only year since finishing work I'm glad I still don't work in the forestry industry1
