    I think I'm in the minority I absolutely love the dark rainy days and nights.

    have a great day all.

    I don't mind a dark night either @Nightcity. My default position is at home getting cosy under a blanket in the evening so it almost feels more natural when it's dark and cold outside ☺️

    I bet Gus appreciated letting off some steam after 3 days of rain @Chris75_, even if you both got very soggy! It's good that he'll actually walk in the rain. I've known so many dogs who will point blank refuse even if it's just drizzling!

    How is everyone doing today? Anyone got anything planned for this week?

    Morning all,

    We've got a childcare center around the corner and just now a woman walked past with two kids and they were singing a children's song. Sounded lovely.

    Hopefully that sets the tone (or tune) for the day :)

    Aww that's lovely @SmellyBin! Your name cracks me up 😂 Wish I could have something more adventurous.

    Hope everything goes well with the nurse and your scan @Amberpearl. How are you feeling about it?

    Very quiet day at the mill, been in bed since Saturday Night. Not been in a good place mentally, just really low and fed up. Just gone into shut down mode, closing the world out and keeping my own council.

    To be honest I think this time of year tends to bounce off my other mental health conditions. But it’s also the time of the year to make you think of family, however due to me not having contact with my family I don’t want to think of them. Plus it was always my ex wife’s favourite time of the year, but in all honesty I hate Christmas. I always preferred working Christmas when I was a support worker and have always treated it as a normal day. I’ve not even watched any Christmas films since 2022.

    I’ve tended to find this time of year challenging as it plays off my other mental health conditions. I always preferred to work it during my time as a Support Worker. I’m not a fan of the festivities as it’s over commercialised and crammed down your throat for four months of the year. It’s always a reminder of family and in all honesty I don’t want to have a reminder of my parents, sister and other members of the family on my dads side of the family.

    To me Christmas is always a reminder of the endless arguments I had with my ex wife, I’ll be glad next month to have my divorce finalised. Ironically the second divorce finalised in December ten years apart.

    Christmas is definitely forced down your throat @Zippy1983, and it seems to be in shops earlier and earlier each year. It feels impossible to get away from which is tough when it's a difficult time of year for you.

    good evening …… yet another day… i did manage to go out to a workshop.. it is only once a month. so it was good… tomorrow again i have to go out. i really need to get the courage to go out tomorrow as well.. but it is a struggle to wake up every day …..

    anyway,,,, keep warm and sleep tight. and i think is good night for me as i am rather tired. i think it is going to be an early bed for me….

    Since selling my wedding ring earlier last year, something I wish I had not done so, but saying that wearing something that has your wedding date on the inside would of been a painful reminder.

    I’ve since been wearing a titanium claddagh ring with the heart facing inwards for if your married. However today I’ve finally ordered the above ring as a full time replacement on my wedding finger, even though I will be divorced as of next month. I’m going to continue wearing it with the heart facing inwards to symbolise lost love and what I’ve lost. But it’s also a symbol of strength and growth in my life since that dark day in October 2026

    I despise Christmas with a passion, never understood the need for it. by far the worst time of year. everyone gets stressed, shops go crazy, prices go up and they play ridiculous loud christmas music everywhere, not to mention everything shuts down for like a week and everywhere is crowded and busy.

    I pray for the day Christmas is abolished.

    My family ask me what I want for Christmas, and my answer is always to not celebrate Christmas.

    Apologies i'm cranky for not being able to vape, still though I hate it, doesn't make sense.

    No offence to anyone.

    Is it healthy to drink or lick vape liquid
