    Morning my lovelies! Big love to those that need it today. Ice creams and sun shades for all of those who are already melting.

    £12 a month sounds like a bargain @Lou67!! I'd love to do something like that but not sure I'll ever get in a public pool again. Maybe I'll win the lottery and have one built in my garden 🤣🤣🤣

    I'm confused about how best to do the curtains as there's multiple windows on the same small wall but I'll make another post. Definitely going to try and be bold and go bold with the colour choice!!

    Sorry your neighbour is going through that @Ada, I was fortunate not to get bullied in school but it's something I've faced as an adult and it sucks. In what way are they bullying him?? Your comment earlier about devils in sheeps wool was really interesting, it reminded me a lot of my step mum. Everyone thought she was absolutely amazing but it couldn't be further from the truth. The worst part is she was always stirring the pot behind the scenes blaming everyone else for the stuff she actually did herself. I don't think telling your friend not to trust is good advice though, I know you mean well but there are amazing people in the world too and it's only through trusting them you can forge good friendships!! Like the ones we've both been fortunate enough to make on here ❤️

    @66Mustang!!!!! GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with your support worker today, will respond to your PM later as I'm going to sit outside for a while and the laptop gets too hot out there 😅💗

    Morning @Sandy_123, sorry you're not feeling well! I've been getting a sore throat and cough with hayfever so I hope it's just something like that rather than you coming down with something worse xx

    Good morning @Beaver79, I hope you're keeping well? x

    @Biblioklept I can relate about swimming, it sounds such a fun thing but I couldn't do it in public now 😕

    Something that sounds super fun is swimming in like a river or something instead of a swimming pool but even if there was no one around I would feel weird doing it, like what if someone found me 😆

    Ive messaged the drs as I've got a temperature with it. Probably take them a week to read the econsult

    Might be best to ask the Dr about your tummy pain @ada

    Enjoy being out side @Biblioklept

    I changed my mind @Sandy_123, I stepped out and it was much too hot, I don't get any shade in the garden at all until the afternoon so will wait until then!

    Sorry you've get a temperature too, I hope it doesn't go to your chest and the doctor gets back to you soon

    ❤️sending healing love❤️

    Morning everyone, hope you all have a good day. Its far too hot outside today so not doing much today I don't think. My appitite has completley gone too not eaten properly in 4 days, only been having 1 sandwich a day and even that is a struggle to eat. I feel okay though just not ever hungry.

    @Lou67 enjoy your aquafit class.

    @Ada sorry you only had 2 hours sleep and the tummy pain is still there, I would speak to the nurse or doctor as you've had the pain a while now just to be safe.

    @Beaver79 goodluck at the vets, hope they sort out your dogs cough.

    @Marydoll5 have fun having your eyelashes done, let us know how you get on.

    @66Mustang have a good time with your support worker.

    Everyone else hope you all have a good day whatever your plans are.

    I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

    I bbought A brolly that sinks into the grass to put over a chair @Bibliokept, they are not very expensive but they do the trick. Everyone fights over that chair now as it gives instant shade look at one of those

    @Sandy_123 hope you feel better soon!
    @ada sorry to hear you're still getting the stomach pain, though I agree with everyone, you probably should contact your GP as it's been going on for a while. As for losing things, that's quite common for ND people, it's called "object permanence" if it's not in front of us, there's a darn good chance we'll forget about it. 😅

    @rubin16 I always go off my food when it gets hot, it's never fun!

    I really hope the pooch is ok @Beaver79 !

    @66Mustang @Biblioklept I couldn't swim in public any more either, I'm glad sis found a private hire pool for us to use though. Even then I feel weird doing it. 😆

    Eeek looks like I missed a couple of posts, so sorry I think they came when I was writing my big one.

    I hope your doggo is okay @Beaver79!! Good luck at the vets ❤️

    Good morning to you @Albus_Scope!! I'll take as much sun shade and ice cream as you're willing to part with! I think the sun is getting to my head, probably explains my PM back to you 😅 I'm trying to train myself to like wearing socks but I swear it's like 1000x hotter when I wear them!!

    Glad you found the tens machine @Ada! I don't really know what they do, they look like those machine things people use simulate labour 🤣 does it contract the muscles when you wear them?

    Morning @rubin16! 😊 My appetite goes in the heat, not sure why! 4 days is a while though, are you feeling okay other than that?

    Ooooooooh great idea @Sandy_123!! I invested in one of those giant parasol things with a stand last year and I think maybe I didn't set it up properly or it was broken or something because even the slightest bit of wind it would sway all over or the brolly part would close 🤣 WIll have a look at what you've suggested, thank you! ❤️

    With your big brolly @Biblioklept has it got a base that usually stops them from swaying some have bases that need water inside them

    I didn't even know they did such a thing as private pools like that @Albus_Scope, do you not have to speak to the owner when you arrive? I'd wonder if they're just sat watching me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a great idea though!!! Do you go often??

    Don't get me started on object permanence, I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached!! When I moved in here I'd learnt a bit about it so now have most my stuff displayed or organised where I can see it without opening stuff, it's helped a little but god it sucks. I can't tell you how much of my house is made up of things I've ordered because I forgot I had it already or couldn't find something 😅

    The base is heavily weighted and comes in four parts thay way soooo much each so I'm not sure it's that, it sways at the top, like the arm that comes out holding the brolly part 😥

    If it's the banana brolly the top is meant to sway but if it's got heavy weights around it at the bottom it won't topple. I gave mine away as it was too big for me and heavy

    I feel okay, just can't seem to eat anything or get hungry. I get to the point where I'm feeling weak and even then can only nibble at things.

    Eugh what pain!!!!! Honestly drives me mad. They should check that it's even accessible to you first before referring off, I get so frustrated by this sort of thing 😔

    Have you called the drs again @Sandy_123 ? xx
