    Did you enjoy the match last night @Sandy_123? I didn't but I heard it was a good one!

    @Marydoll5 It's so cute! Thank you for sharing the picture.

    Hey @Amberpearl, I know what you mean about cats keeping you company. I know how much it can hurt, but this hurt does heal with time.

    Hello Mustang, Rubin, Beaver and Lou. Lot's of chatter to keep up with today so sorry if I missed something

    P.s I am loving all the animal pictures

    My plans are big for us......we bought a mobile home (static) in Newcastle. Its on a caravan park which is half way up the Mourne mountains ⛰️ so we are surrounded by forest. The town is by the sea and 10 minutes walk away. I'm so excited!!!!

    We get the keys today so car is loaded up to the gills with everything to move in and we are going to stay tonight. With us both retired and not great mobility wise it was a no brainer. Here is a pic of our view

    Someone mention Christmas? I love Xmas, always put my tree up on 30th November, as my nan who I was close too died on that day, my best mate died on 1 December two years ago, so it's fitting to have it up 😊 plus the grandchildren love it too 😊

    @Nicebrit I know how you mean. I’ve said this before so sorry if it bores anyone but thought I’d share as you weren’t about before…but we know of a lady who had a son in the army who had to be away over Christmas but he was allowed leave in September or so. His Mum put decorations up and they were going to have Christmas then but he was killed before he got to go home, now his family still put their decorations up several months early every year which is kind of nice I think

    hello. i am feeling a bit hopeless lately. I struggle most of the days.. This morning i went where i go all Mondays but i just struggle to stay. Still i manage to be the whole session. Tomorrow is a day for myself so I am not sure what i will be doing. Wednesday back again to the same place. But i spend too much time on my own hence using some days to go places where i see people i take it like a job. so it is kinda volunteering without being really volunteering. but in a way it is. only thing is i can say i wont be coming today and it is all fine. my issue is with the medication i am right know venlafaxine. i sleep like a log but i had very strange feelings during the day. at times feel very anxious with is a bit the opposite what the medication is suppose to do. calm me down. Still i am not sure about the esa assessment result and i can not stop thinking about it. having flash backs about it. she was writing like crazy and start feeling like she was not listening at all .and was writing gibberish and not what i was telling her. Also my heart been racing a lot but will have an echography of my heart at some point.. it seems that venlafaxine has several side effects. if i leave my mind to wander will get really crazy. But it is hard to stop it. my mental state goes up and down and hard to keep still. anyway maybe people on venlafaxine can shed a light on the side effects because currently really leaves me very weird. sorry for the long text.

    awe thats lovely, it's a nice way to be remembered. I think this year I'm going to get some Personalised baubles to family members who aren't with us anymore, it's a nice way to keep their memory alive 🌟

    sorry to hear you're struggling, I'm don't take the meds your on, so apologies in advance. I struggle with anxiety, stops me from doing the things I want to at times. it's good you've reached out, and hope someone can give you some advice/help.

    Take care 🌟
