How to find friends

They are really helpful they had help me but we had to go on the next step the energy company was being stubborn and not doing anything so I had to go to ombudsman but that can take up to 3 mouth to deal with but even then the problem I got I don't think they get sorted but scopes energy advisors are really really good of recommend them to anybody who disabled all got disabled kids

I 1 electric blanket and it's really really good if you don't want to put your heating on I did have one but my daughter's took that one and we went out and paid for another because they are really worth it and my flaps look at drafty old shed lol 🤣

@Strawberry1 My daughter and my mom swear by theirs but I do remember back when they wasn't that safe. They have come along way. The hinge on my bedroom door is broken so I can't keep the heat in. This seemed like a good alternative

Strawberry1

Oh they are a brilliant idea @Eveie_Wonder

I dont know why ive never had one to be honest

Im going through the menopause and i think i would over heat lol

Strawberry1

They have definately made them better @Eveie_Wonder

I hope u get as much benefit from it as possible

Strawberry1

I have a door what rattles @Eveie_Wonder

Luckily my daughter gave me a door stop so i can have my bedroom window open because Im too hot and the door stops rattling

Theres always something with a house

Never ending jobs

Wishing you all the best @Eveie_Wonder

Let me know how u get on with it

Then main thing is its going to keep u warm

Best wishes always

No matter what all of us are up to - either today or generally, I somehow feel like there is wisdom in what you say 'I will get there eventually,' @Strawberry1 I am trying to stick to that :)

What do you think, @Eveie_Wonder and @madchris55

Eveie_Wonder

I think you and @Strawberry1 are bang on @SmellyBin

Lots of times I don't think I can do things but I need to remember slow and steady will eventually get there 😊

Strawberry1

Thanks @SmellyBin and @Eveie_Wonder

Strawberry1

Hows the electric blanket going @Eveie_Wonder ?

Yeah, that sort of things can be really hard, right? Not knowing if it's gonna work out, because sometimes it doesn't.

For me today it was a struggle to find myself a bit, the right mindset, you know? To allow the turmoil, but not losing myself in it.

This forum helps me to remind that I am not the only one with issues, how can we be ill without difficulties in the first place. We don't have to pretend and only share the happy things, because the human stuff is important too.
