Wouldn't that be fun @lou67 . I spend ages in there. So many things to look at

66Mustang..... It is a great place to work, whatever team you work in and they certainly go to the Nnth degrees to make adjustments and also make you feel welcome. There was a good TV programme (The Undeclared War) a couple of years ago if you see it around anout the place.

Lou67..…. Thanks fir your wishes, it means a lot and goes a long way to help. One of the hardest thing with me is accepting the way things are now. I haven't always been like this. I use to ne very active. I played Rugby, Badminton, Golf and whatever else took my fancy on a given day. I guess one of my biggest problems when I lay here like this is feeling sorry for myself. I try not to and mostly I don't. However, every nowcand them it creeps up me. I agree about the hot water bottles and heat packs. I find a long (about 2 feet) hot water bottle particularly helps.

Strawberry1...…. Thankyou do much for your blessings. It helps me a lot knowing that so many people care.

Hi @Ada 😊 good luck having the boiler service, I know it's stressful, do you at least get the same person do the service as last year or can it be anyone??

Strawberry1

@Ada , thinking of you 🤗 ❤️. Sorry to hear how things are at the moment. Hope the gas man gets things over and done with quickly. Don't be a stranger. Sending lots of love ❤️. Your not on your own I don't like strangers in the house .

Hi @Strawberry1 hope your doing good

@Ada
I suppose you are better dealing with it yourself then as it would probably stress you more if your partner was up. Good luck.

@AndyGT
It’s only natural to feel a bit sorry for ourselves from time to time I think that’s normal, but it’s great you don’t do it often as I know from personal experience it can make me worse if I dwell on it to long. I hope your pain eases soon.

❤️

@Ada
Aww you’d be more than welcome here ❤️

I have an aunt and uncle, the uncle is Scottish and the Aunt is from Yorkshire and they always have (friendly) arguments about how each other's culture is bad 😂

@Ada

That reminds me of a saying my Granny used to say when she saw a grumpy person

"they have a face like a bulldog that's just swallowed a wasp"

😊

It's just grey and dull here @Ada,it'll probably brighten up at 7 o'clock tonight when it's too late to do anything.

Our pets love going after wasps or bees, we call them "spicy flies"

Hi everyone

@Ada it's far from boring you are please never think that. You are my warrior that inspires me remember!

@AndyGT you have a heck of a lot of change to cope with and pain puts us in a place that's difficult too. I think you are doing well being on here and vocalising your thoughts as it is so easy to close down and hide (like I did). Please know that I am here to help in any way I can as are everyone here

@Albus_Scope enjoy your xbox fest. I wish we had a laugh button as so many people's posts are funny. You being one of them and it's nice to acknowledge that. Just a thought.

This afternoon I am going to try baking bread and scones. I say baking.…its a bread mix pack I add olive oil to and it turns into ciabatta bread. Not on @Teigr level at all 🤣.

Enjoy your afternoon all my Scopicles! tagging would take too long

66Mustang

@Marydoll5 does ciabatta bread have olive oil in it?? My Mum has never liked ciabatta but never knew why, but she doesn't like olives, so that would make sense!!

Albus_Scope

Awww thanks @Marydoll5 a life without humor is a life without meaning. Gotta help everyone get a smile on their face, even if it's only for a second. 😁

66Mustang

@Albus_Scope are you from the USA?? I hope you don’t think I’m being a Grammar Nazi but I notice you use the American spellings a lot with words like “colour” and stuff 😆

Albus_Scope

I'm not, but sometimes my spellchecker seems to want me to move, apologies for it making me sound American! 😆

66Mustang

@Ada

I can kind of relate to having people in my house, even though I live with family

If I had my own house I think it would be like my sanctuary, the final place I can escape to when there is nowhere else, if someone's in there then I kind of have nowhere else to go. Maybe that sounds silly but maybe that makes sense??

66Mustang

Ha ha @Ada we once had a carpenter who chatted really in depth about philosophy, I wondered why he was a carpenter as he seemed like an intellectual, but then a philosophy degree is known for not getting you anywhere in a career and trades are meant to pay really well!!! 😆

Rosie_Scope

Eeek @Ada, that's no good! Hopefully you can get it sorted soon without anything serious happening!
