    Evening all. Feeling so so . It was busy at times but it was not as bad. Loads of people in the workshops etc...people were there checking on us on how we work etc.... But I do not think that mp was there. Maybe people from her team..

    It was better than getting depressed at home.

    I get more depressed when I am at home like now. Anyway tomorrow will be another day...

    Thank you. Now just watching telly. I hope for blue skies tomorrow... If so I will go out if not I might just stay at home. It is true it is better to go with the flow and worry when things happen other than keep worrying. It is hard to change but I have worried in the past and it did not happen. now worry for others in particular what rachel reeves is doing to people with properties etc… what an awful woman.

    we can not get our past back. but maybe we can do something for the future. but i am trying not to think about it. politicians in general do not care any more for their people …. and this party is really attacking people who are not rich. it is really unfair. you can not buy because of taxes you can not sell because of taxes… it is very hard. if i were rich i probably would not buy a property now. i have tried mental health and physical health resources and nothing worked. so right now i might have to start thinking about a more natural approach.. But future being sick is very bleak and scary. Better not to think too much about it and obviously the older we get the harder the chance to get better. But people do not understand the sick.. i still hope i will be able to get my health back. hopefully one day.

    I hope all goes well today @Catherine21 for you/little Fifi if she goes for her teeth out. Thinking of you.

    Good morning everyone

    @Grumpy1314 I hope you're good. Did I read yesterday you posted that you were into ground maintenance or horticulture? Where abouts did you used to work? My brother's in that sector and enjoys it but he says it's a job where you need a plan for when you're about 45 because it's a young person's job

    I am so sorry you feel so conflicted @Catherine21.

    My Aloysius (yorkie) had quite a lot of teeth renoved last year but he had halitosis so I knew all was not well (even though he was checked yearly). He did not let me ever touch his teeth without him biting me, hence removals but his problem was only last year at 7 years old. My insurers ended up covering it as he had an infection so c 600.00. Many get charged up to c 1200 so I was 'lucky' really.

    Natalie-Tiffany (shih tzu) had a lot of teeth removed last year - they were cracked/unknown reason, she'd not had toys etc that were hard. No halitosis/obvious discomfort. Again, insurers covered cost c 600.00. She was aged 7.5 years old.

    Both recovered well. Natalie-Tiffany was done on election day so I was staying up all night anyway but she/I was up all night for 3 nights coughing (her, not me) (? anesthetic tube/irritation) so was worrying but she then recovered well.

    I hope Fifi recovers well and uneventfully. They're such a worry; my other two need teeth doing but I'm in no rush/no discomfort/no halitosis or anything else obvious.

    The two that were done have tongue hanging out now but not causing them any problems at all with eating etc. Not as 'photogenic' but they/I, do not have an issue with that! They're comfortable so that's the biggest priority.

    Take good care today and my very best wishes to you Catherine xx

    Good morning

    I am feeling exhausted again.

    I wish this fatigue would just do one and give me a break.

    Its going to be hard but I'm going to meet some friends later who I meet every Thursday.

    @Catherine21

    I will be thinking of you today and I hope that all goes well at the Vets. X

    Morning all. I don't feel rested even though I slept. But still I woke up like two times. I am not sure I will go out. I think I will stay at home.

    @Catherine21 I hope the vet goes ok and she recovers quickly. Don't worry about using your savings, it's a legitimate expense.

    Omg, watching Emmerdale 🤣. Shan't spoil it for anyone who watches it. Gripping. That's all I'm going to say. You'd think it was real 🫠😁🤣.

    PLEASE do not worry what UC may, or may not say. It is YOUR money, not theirs; they've paid it to you it is therefore for you alone to pay, and spend, on what you see fit. The next review I have I'll be a bit more polite and just tell them to 'do one'.

    Your only priority is what's best for Fifi, and you. It's great you have faith/trust in your vet, that's more than half the battle. My Nats was only in surgery for so long as so many needed removing, its usually much quicker when just cleaning. Keep strong and thinking of you both ❤️ 💙 💜 💖. 🫂.

    Afternoon my lovelies. Sorry, I'm playing catch up!

    I hope everything goes smoothly at the vets. My guys are all old now and are still having teeth removed. It's always a worry, but the vets do so many of them, it's never anything to worry about. 😊

    In fact, I think the two brothers definitely need another vist to aunty vet, their breath pongs!

    animals are sometimes better than people . they do not judge. i hope it goes well with the vet.

    i have an issue with the universal credit… it is more with the new style esa. i had the second payment but it is less than what universal credit says. i hope it rounds up next month but as for this month they paid officially less money. two payments of 281.10. universal credit says i should get 609.05.. it is not by a lot but why…

    i will check next month if the amount is the same. But yes i am worse off. But i will see what happens next month.

    Sorry to hear that @Schildpad it may be worth making a separate discussion if you're having benefits woes, as you're more likely to get a reply from someone in the know that way. 😊

    I'm. OK I guess

    Watching tv

    I am tired even when I have a nice night sleep. I am laying down in bed watching TV. And I can not wait for night time to go to sleep...

    Sounds rough there @Schildpad have you had your vitamin D levels checked? Or iron?

    I think it'd be a shame to totally cut yourself off @Grumpy1314 who will you show your new gnomes to for a start! How're things going with the meds now? Have you been taking the antidepressants daily? I know, I'm sounding like a mother hen again. 😆

    I'm betting it'll be 9 teeth removed @Catherine21 the vets like to go quite hard on tooth removals, but it's worth it. The lil lady will be very happy she's had them out soon enough. 😁

    @Grumpy1314 I do understand you as i feel the same way.. i do not believe will be anyone there who cares for me but i have to make an effort to care for myself and do it for myself.. and no one else. i still believe there is something there for me to fight for . it is a hard life is not nice but i have to make an effort and wait in case good things will happen. i also have my phone off so i am not disturbed and watch telly all the time.. it has been on since this morning. and it will be on until i go to sleep…. sometimes is the phone but i have it on airplane and keep checking internet….. it depends… But there have to be hope. there must be hope…. i truly hope nice things will happen and that keeps me on…

    i am not sure i have vitamins sometimes.. maybe i should stick and have them on a daily basis. but i just feel pretty hopeless. i sometimes feel like i am better when i have to force myself to go to a place than stay at home.. i lately do not feel like going out if i do not have to.. it is a difficult situation. anyway tomorrow i have to go to another place so i will be a bit busy from 12.30 when i leave home until i get back home hopefully before 5 pm.

    monday is bank holiday so i will miss my monday gathering. i really not sure.. every day seems to be a struggle but i think i will feel worse if i do not leave home. i should have done so today but i just have no energy. i will try to keep my vitanims and have them as it could be i am not eating very well which is true… i just can not be bothered.
