It's friday😁how is everyone doing? I'm awake mega early today so I'm setting up a plan for things I have to do today. Does anyone have a to do list?
Replies
I am organised planned all the time favourite thing no surprise then is my food plans meal plans.
Fridge we all buy them the veggies need to be made in to sauces the tubs freezer.
Then find used and do go off or way past sell by date.
Besides means freezer padded out with sauces all ready to use.
Freezer fruit to bag up do nor keep in bags but zip or clip bags.
Labelled and mixes.
All the time sparkling hygienic clean sterile work sufaces, stacks of washing up.
Some boogie strut my funky stuff while doing the tasks.
Diary a good tool bit at a time by teatime total cream , mice in their pink furry slippers again after home is scrubbed and clean.
If mice on stilts need to clear home but what helps is the music.
Have to plan for have my favourite song playing Who Can I Turn To When No body Needs me .
In my mind so as on own have to be practical sensible organised no support .
Just you and the lovely community who are my friends.
Best wishes anything can help with we will chat soon PM any time.
Please take care in my prayers.

I hope you are keeping safe and well.
I have a To Do list for most days and find it really helps. Today, I am on task number 2 out of a possible 6. I use my phone to create my lists and I can't remember how many tasks I have set myself for today, although I am trying not to consult my phone all the time as it is not healthy.
Take care

Please have a look at this organisation might help.
https://www.meassociation.org.uk.
Have the following nutritional advice and guidance.
If you doing this well done if not might be worth taking a look.
I know mentioned to me you had condition for seven years I learnt long time ago little knowledge helps.
I am aware of my own mental health and am learning educating my self after a long time.
Think about whole grains Pasta, Rice and Beans Pulses useful slow energy release.
Porridge and oats useful as well. Bake Beans on Bake Potatoes I buy those frozen ones good snack attack energy booster.
I use Home made Vegetable soup make a freeze or eat PNB Sandwich whole meal bread and a Apple and Glass Milk if energy low.
Use also fruit as a energy booster, have a bowl of variety.
I use Apples slices cut them up and add handful nuts Walnuts fine if allergies think of eating Cereal. Cornflakes and whole milk or eat Eggs poached no cooking .
Just know energy low want simple things to cook and eat.
Have ideas and happy to suggest anything .
Only suggestion is to use freezer add and make create meals portions for yourself when good days , then always got a meal to eat if tired.
Other advice is to avoid all Caffeine Chocolate, Coffee and Tea.
Alcohol. Any sugar stuff cakes, biscuits .
Apologise if you do any of this already
I can help be supportive if you need to ask me anything.
Please take care.

This evening I am now relaxing with a cup of nice wine. Teaching is very hard work. Tomorrow morning I basically get to do the same with another set. The difference is that I do not have to literally spoon feed or tell this group the answers, they are all a medium ability set thankfully. Their predicted grades are four to six. Not to say that the other lot are lazy however. I cannot leave them alone though. But tomorrow will be easier on me. I teach maths to four or five exam classes a week at a high school. I love it for the most part.
How are you today @Tammyjane33?

We are going to basically pretend that life is normal, play a quick game of cards as a couple, have a small cup of wine and also order a takeout. We may also do some cool art or watch a meaningful film too. I might even dress up but not totally decided yet about that. We will probably also make biscuits or cookies for this weekend.
Other original ideas for next month's date night welcome.
What is everyone else doing this week?
The weather is lovely and would like to go out... but I have to wait for the drs say so or the government. I'm trying to keep busy but really there is only so much you can do... I'm beyond bored now... having said all that at least I'm keeping safe...
I'm worried that my granddaughter is going back to school they won't be able to visit me once a week until we find out how safe that is going to be.
I have a bad case of depression and already tried killing myself that's why my son pops over with his wife and Erica just to see if I'm ok... its do good to see Erica even if it once a week. I don't let that in but at least I've got to see them.
My anxiety goes up every time I hear how many people has died.
Just so many people...
The news is frightening to watch. Especially as we have daily briefings that are always on. I try to check the news once a day but I do this online so I can almost censor the things I read. Totally normal to be feeling this way.
I'm glad you are still seeing family. Have you spoken to your GP about your depression recently? It's a really tough time at the moment. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts then please reach out to someone qualified to help you. This could be Samaritans or your mental health team. If you feel in immediate danger then please call 999. You are important.

Today I woke up and had a mini epiphany. So today after a walk I got the kids to write me a short article about trees in Britain during their English lesson. In math class both of the twins are currently working on the skills of colour and shape recognition using a set of colourful shapes and a abacus to help them. Other than art and geography, I am not doing very much in the way of formal lessons this week. From this week on, all lessons will happen on a ad hoc basis until early September. This is just like last year.
We are continuing our study of the Bible with a children's copy of the Bible and colour coded notes as well. This week we are focusing on Isaiah instead and memorising a few relevant verses too. I will also read part of a story out to them and we even have a chance to discuss it afterwards. Or I summarise the story in my own words for them. Thanks for the website @Ails it will be very useful in the future!
Next week I need to get the toy cupboard sorted out. Francesca is doing relatively well health wise. No more procedures for now either. She has another clinic day appointment and urodynamics test coming up.

Only got part of shopping delivered again . And the wrong version of a cream I use.
But had to use it .😡 this is what my face looks like right now red sore. Skin allergy. And dry skin. Mine requie different versions of e45 for different parts of body.
Last time I couldn't get it at begining of lockdown. Dr sent aquarius or somthing. Skin went blood red/purple and incredible sore.
Shampoo wrong one. I debating whether to use it or not.
The cold not helping my skin.
Got no micro meals most of the salad was missing. My store has had no eggs for weeks.
On top of that. The nurse informed me 2 weeks ago that. The pressure sorry on foot. Had for a year. Is infected because we had to wait weeks for proper dressing. Got anti biotic 2 wks ago tablets not liquid. So had to wait. Finaly got liquid.
Now she tells. I have 2 infections. The pressure sore itself and the foot...
Added to the pressures on my legs.
I'm still smiling.
I,d lose it other wise.
Realy want a shower.. it not adapted. Months of strip washes not doing my skin any good. But it gonna be a long time till they sort bathroom out.
Getting trousers on is still work in progress.fed up of just covering lower half with a blancke. It cold.
May hair grown to an unmanageable length.
I'm smiling through it.
Sorry for the moan.
