Mental Health is a nightmare, it’s like being on an endless rollercoaster! I walk in the bathroom some days, look in the mirror and don’t recognise the person staring back at me 😔 I’ve just been looking in some suitcases for some shorts for if it’s hot tomorrow, couldn’t find the ones I was after which is a nightmare! Then I’ve just been trying to get my right AirPod to seal and none of the tips are playing ball, the left is ok. Wanting to try out the hearing test function to see if I’ve lost any hearing over the years since working as a gardener/estate ranger with loud machines.

I love reading, sadly thanks to my mental health that has tailed off over the last four and a half years 😔 Once my living room is decorated, I’m going to get some decent bookcases set up for my modest collection.

Sorry about your air pods you can buy really cheap ones on temu if you don't mind waiting 2 weeks 🤣 I've bought loads myself all working great and all of them combined cost less than twenty pounds.
Probably by yourself a pair of shorts too but knowing our lovely British weather it'll probably hammer down when arrive.
I bought my mum 3 different hearing aids and she doesn't ware any of then, sure she just likes it when I shout at her😂, me not so much 🤔.
I can understand not recognising yourself myself I feel like who is this humongous person looking back at me, I look at photos from 15 years ago and think how was I ever that thin even though was a size 14 back then only looked a 10 🤣.
Chin up read a book, listen to some enlighten music or watch a funny film tge ones with Adam Sandler in usually cracks me up 🤣

P. S not sure if I'm doing this right as new on here not sure how to tag.
Also grumpy1314
Must be hard thinking you might have lost your hearing, do you do any gardening yourself now for yourself? Sometimes it's nice getting out on sunny day can cheer you up.
I was on antidepressants years ago but didn't like the way they made me feel, like I didn't care about anything or anyone now that was fine when it came down to my partner at that time but when I felt the same way when my son hurt himself knew I had to come off them

Ohh what type of books do you like?

😂😂😂😂 your mum probably does it to just ignore you, then when you least expect it she will give you a clip around the back of the ear for shouting at her.
I’ve got some memory foam tips on Amazon, going to wait a few weeks before I get them. Need to get some stickers and a sign for the new front door.
Thanks to my ex wife regularly having the bailiffs banging on the door in the past, I don’t like it when people bang on the door! Sets off my anxiety, I’m swearing like a pirate going down the stairs at a snails pace 🚡
Just fired up a playlist on iTunes, it’s gone straight into When a Blind Man Cries by Deep Purple into Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, just looked what’s next, Road To Hell by Chris Rea, Immigrant Song, Ice In The Sun etc
I’ve just been looking at two Lego Sets I’ve got to rebuild and just can’t even sit and build that, which is frustrating to say the least.
I’m going to hold off buying shorts, need to lose a few ton off the belly and then maybe I can get into the new kilt coming up to Winter.

I’m going to save up some money and get some stuff for outside of the flat, get a raised planter with a trellis for the summer and a chair to sit outside. Apparently they have a gardening competition, I’m a bit a ringer having worked for Oldham Council’s Parks & Countryside and started off on the private sector doing large private gardens, nursing homes and a large chemical plant where Man City’s training ground is located.
When my ex wife dumped me, because I couldn’t do the garden due to my health, there was over 3 foot of brambles covering the back garden, she had to sort that mess out, which made me chuckle. 🤭 she threatened me in January 2024, if I didn’t collect my things then she was going to put them into storage and make me pay for it! I’m well rid, I’m staying single until they carry me out of the flat. Two marriages and two relationships is enough for me!
my hearing isn’t to bad thankfully, but it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on the old lugs, I’m sure there picking up signs of alien life!0 -

Thats a good idea,
I’ve got a few audio books which are a varying variety.
Ellie Griffiths, Kate Atkinson, John D Burns, Alistair Moffat, John Nichol, James Holland, Dalai Lama, Clive Cussler are a few of the Authors I like and follow.Just a little run around the world by Rosie Swale Pope is a great travel book, is a good book to read - a woman who in the opening bit of the book it states - 5 years 3 packs of wolves and 53 pairs of shoes as she raised over £250,000 for charity.
Tuk Tuk To Toad about two female traveler's who had a custom bright pink Tuk Tuk built in Thailand, then drove it back to Britain all the way up through China and across into Europe.Lone Ride by Elspeth Beard - the first woman to ride around the world on a Motorbike, including going through Iran from Australia.
Few powerful reads that once you start reading them you can’t put them down.

Good news about outside for you some sun cheer you up sometimes. We sound very similar I've only had 2 long term relationships devorced once, chucked my ex fiancée out around 9 years ago so much happier now he was head work, to controlling ect, he's got his karma now though he's had loads of stokes and doesn't remember half the **** he put me though was even overjoyed he remembered my mother's name 😂 they didn't get on, strange thing was his mother went for me on holiday not long after I first got with him within I'd say 4 months of that she fell down the stairs cracked her head on a glass table (silly place to put that if you ask me) and had a stroke she's wheel chair bound now.

I work Mondays every week, but this week was the start of my new slightly earlier start and finish so it was the stupid-early bus and I was definitely yawning when I arrived :)
But I got to finish at 4.15 and I managed to get the bus so I was home earlier than usual :) The cherry blossom in town is beautiful, can't complain about that…
I am lucky that I have such a nice team to work in :) Our new(ish) manager brought us cake.1 -
I’m not your Mum 😂😂😂
I’ve got a very dark council worker sense of humour 🤭
I was 19st 6lb when I went into the mental health unit, I did get back down to just under 15st but gone back to 17st which is frustrating the life out of me. Need to cut out all the stuff that affects my Acid/Bile Reflux or else it’s like a scene from the exorcist or I just can’t breathe, doesn’t help having Spastic Cerebral Palsy and my stomach empties slowly, had to have my gallbladder out in 2022.I’m a lover of music, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Beatles, Cream, Luciano Pavarotti, AC/DC, Queen, BB King, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, The Blues Brothers, James Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, The Dubliners, Runrig, Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Celtic Music, can’t beat some of the old bagpipes! to name but a few. Don’t mind a few country songs, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, John Denver etc
