Morning @Sandy_123 hope all's good - are you ready for the onslaught with your lovely family xx

Sandy_123

Yes lol, they will land later,  full of stories from holiday. 

SueHeath

Great - bet your looking forward to it - keep meaning to ask have the tree's gone xxx

Sandy_123

Getting weird replys over the trees, one person asked lots of questions, then decided, they were no good as she wanted to use them to grow mushrooms on. ??? 
😶 but didn't think a fern bark would do it.  I'm like ok, weird. I did advertise then for fire pits etc , didn't really think of fungus

SueHeath

Oh yes @Sandy_123 us gardeners are a bit weird ha ha, people use tree trunks for all sorts, perhaps you could get the family to cut it up for you and if your area allows leave it at the front of your property, some one might take it xxx

Hello everyone.

I'm a bit anxious at the moment, there are lots of stresses going on in my family.

Sorry to hear about peoples troubles with the NHS. I am having a lot of trouble getting any care at the moment as well.

Sandy_123

Morning @66Mustang sorry to read that you can't get any care at the moment,  hopefully you get that sorted soon.
Also hope the family can work through the stresses, I think alot of people are under stress at the  moment with  costs of everything.

@Sandy_123

Thanks; I don't really know how to get the care thing sorted. The usual answer is to go to the GP to kick things off but they aren't seeing patients at the moment!

I am thinking of switching to private care thanks to a family member offering to pay, which is extremely generous but the budget would still be limited. I could afford to see a doctor every month or two and maybe get some medicines but if they said I needed to do something like weekly appointments with someone there's no way we could fund it.

My family is not really stressed about the cost of living, not because we have money as we don't, but because we have so much else going on and the cost of living is at the bottom of the list

Oh by the way @Sandy_123 I have had some relatives who have tried to get rid of stuff online and they got strange replies a bit like you are getting.Apparently free stuff attracts a lot of time wasters. They said the best thing to do is write on the advert that you want a token amount like £5 then when they arrive just say actually they are free. I'm not sure that would work with trees/logs but maybe worth a try.

If you have e consult on line with your practice, fill it out and they might get in touch. 
Private health care sounds good. 
I think i will  need to take picture of the trees, to stop the silly questions.

Blue skies and sunshine here after sixteen hours of rain.

Alex_Alumni

That's a lot of rain @Teigr do you think it was needed? 

Teigr

We were desperate for it @Alex_Scope;our garden was absolutely parched.

Alex_Alumni

Well that's good @Teigr I'm glad to hear
