I have woken up for the third day in a row feeling queasy :vom: only this time I have a migraine thrown in too and keep feeling giddy every time I stand up! :bye: I have to be better by Saturday as I'm "doing Christmas" and am cooking for 11 family members. It also doesn't help that I'm very worried about my Bestest Ever friend (the sister I never had) who is having a major operation today.

Anybody play an instrument here? I’ve started piano and while playing itself is easier than expected I always stumble when reading music 😕😂

I did piano for 3 years when I was 8-9 years old. I forgot everything now though

This is how am I with my irritating seizures, I have partial seizures (pretty much what you describe!), complex partial (out of it and looks like I’m drunk or on drugs :crazy:!) and tonic clinic (fits). Does take up a lot of your time, just feeling like absolute rubbish and laying next to a bowl for company! Last one (I know of, have them sometimes and don’t realise, just feel wiped out :mal: ) was last weds, longest I’ve gone in a while! Fun times! 🥳x

Thanks everyone! It's appreciated.
 
So my housing situation has changed. This place was supported accommodation, but the council pulled the plug on the team that provided the support AND chose to start charging us for said support. I mean fair enough, right?
The council wanted to charge me £128 a week for the privilege of having my medication handed to me once a day.

Oh, and even though they didn't bother sending out the financial assessment forms til August and therefore didn't get us the numbers til September, they're backdating the payments to April, which means they're insisting I owe them £3000. Snort. Yeah good luck with that.

Ahhh but it gets better. See it turns out that if we're paying for care then we're supposed to be given an option to get the care from somewhere else. We aren't required to use the council. Did the council tell us that? Did they <bleep>, I only found this out in September when they immediately started hitting us with final demand notices for payments they'd told us about the previous day. They're still not getting that £3000.

So apparently enough people complained about this that the council decided to be very nice and allow us to redo the care act assessments and the financial assessments. We were supposed to have a bit of grace time to get the numbers back and decide what we're gonna do but then I get a harried phonecall on Friday saying "um, the council are insisting on starting payments again from Monday. I've got someone coming out to help with the meds. We'll work it out. Somehow."

Monday comes, the people turn up. Nobody knows how frequently they're supposed to turn up, the council staff don't know if they're actually allowed to talk to me anymore, nobody has heard a damned thing from the council themselves and honestly the words being used to describe them right now would make me blush and I swear like an Irishman (funny that, lol). The advocate turns up today to let me see the letter he's sending to the council about the whole "we're still not paying you 3 grand" thing and he asked me if I knew what was gonna happen next.

I just laughed. The council couldn't organise a drunken bender in a brewery at this rate.

If you read all that and managed to follow it, congrats! If you're confused about anything, trust me, you're not alone. :beer:

You poor men, you simply can't multitask! My hubby reckons he is multitasking when he chats on the phone whilst playing mine sweeper on the computer.... poor man! :xd:
 
I am annoyed as :cen: and so is my middle son. He is working away from home and applied for a postal vote in good time. Guess when it arrived? Lunchtime today after he had chased it up THREE times. There is not enough time for me to forward it onto him and for it to arrive back by tomorrow. This Council down here is a joke! My son has the right to vote and wanted to but just cos this Council can't get it's finger out my son now can't vote!

Not very good of the council. It might be worth him or you phoning the elections department tomorrow to tell them what's happened. I wonder if it might be possible for you to vote as his proxy? (As well as voting for yourself)

I had that idea too. My son looked into it and you can't apply online! You have to print out the form, fill it out in black pen and post it off to them.
 
Had my braces tightened today, the woman put in two mental bands around my molars and a fixed wire with protective tubing sort of around it, to support my other teeth. She leads this procedure with “this is probably going to come off but we’ll see” well, soon as I ate anything it snapped from the bands on both side, protective tubing off, puncturing my cheeks and bleeding a lot. Had to use nail clippers to stop the metal making holes in my cheeks. Brassed off is an understatement, going back tomorrow for it fixing properly and telling them they are NOT doing that again :cen:

Ow!
That sounds painful!!
 
My house maintenance rant for today is that I was so engrossed in scrubbing mould off the bathroom wall after my roof leak incident that I missed the DPD courier delivering my dehumidifier :( I
I had a smaller dehumidifier delivered before but what a rip off- it was sold as "1500mls dehumidifier" but it actually just has a bigger water tank and is exactly the same power as the "500mls dehumidifier" and will only remove a cupful of humidity a day! So I splashed out on the "11 litre dehumidifier with touch screen humidity control for the whole home"... but its currently riding around in a van because I was busy cleaning off the mould caused by the first dehumidifier being a rip off :(

Do you mean bouncing around in a van?
 
When you wash piggy cube beds with a piece of newspaper still stuck in the bottom of one. :hb: The whole piggy cage liner/bed wash is covered in bits of soggy paper the size of dust. Trying to get it all dry now in the hope it will wash off. Thank goodness it was all in a wash bag! That'll teach me to rush around doing several jobs at once and not paying proper attention to any.
 
People that drive 20mph in a 50mph zone and its a 6 mile long country, nice flat road, mild bends and turns, made me late for my doctors appointment. And no I couldn't leave earlier
