How is your Wednesday?

Work
Well I started with a piece of paper that I was going to work on at 8.35am and never got to it. Instead....
...had to do some Sherlock Holmes type stuff, (don't ask), my title of P.A. means a P.I. instead I reackon!
...spent 3hrs with colleague who was in crisis - disaster averted.
Lunch (late)
Return calls and leave on time :dri:

Home
Don't chuffin' ask!

At least I accomplished a couple of things.
 
Honestly, mine's been a mix of weirdly awful and weirdly..okay. My old neighbour (remember her?) is here on respite and I haven't seen her yet. I've heard her, though! It was a nice 9 months of not having to deal with her again, ffs hah.

Then I got a text asking if I wanted to go to McDonalds. We went to McDonalds. And then the other woman reminded me, hey, we're having flat inspections tomorrow! I forgot. Entirely, completely, whatever, forgot. So I spent 3 hours picking up rubbish (two bin bags full...don't ask, it's a stupid story) and then I decided to finally get rid of old clothes that don't fit and probably never will again, so there was two bin bags of those. One of the staff offered to take them to drop them off either at a clothing bank or a charity shop. So that's four bin bags full of stuff out of my flat and it STILL looks like a bomb hit it. I have a lot of stuff and I can't do "neat and orderly", it's actually a major anxiety thing for me and I function much better when everything is to hand. I'm screwed.

There is also the reminder that the council have decided I need to start paying for my care here, because it's supported accommodation. Apparently they're gonna do a financial assessment and I won't "pay any more than I can afford". Which is interesting, because I've seen what their "baseline" amount is and it's barely enough to pay bills and eat, never mind transport. Or smoking. Which is a bad habit but literally my only vice and I'll be damned if I let someone take that from me, I don't drink, I don't go out partying, hell I don't even have a tv licence so I can't watch tv either. We got absolutely no warning of this, the letter just turned up saying "we're making you pay extra, that's that". Can I afford it? No. Can I move again? Also no, because HA housing isn't an option right now. Will I move again? Also no, because I'm fed up of moving. I moved to England six years ago this year and this is my fourth address so far.

Also I was meant to have therapy appointments Monday and Tuesday and I couldn't make either of them because I've felt like crap all week. So that hasn't helped my mood.

If you read that far, thank you. I'm good really. Probably too tired to actually care, lol. My dad's apparently sent me over a parcel. Is it bad that I'm really hoping it's tobacco?

Take a chill, you can only do so much... Have a 5 minute assessment of your priorities and importances and don't worry about the rest.
Deep breaths and relax.
Sending positive vibes.
 
... I know today is Thursday. But my day started off ok, at church group followed by a bit of birthday shopping for my daughter.
Then got back to my card and found a parking ticket being slapped on my windowscreen- 5 minutes late! That's all I was....
My afternoon was fun, school run and a very excited little girl who could wait to open presents, took her back to town for a impromptu shopping trip which she loved, then off to my parents for a suprise birthday party. Which she knew nothing about.
Party was fantastic, took loads of photos on my father's mobile phone and then went to "share" them to myself via WhatsApp and flipping deleted them all by mistake.
So cross I could have cried. I'd spent ages editing them too.
But the main thing was we laughed a lot, ate loads of cake and food and my daughter was very happy...
Just got the weekend to go now... she's having a Bounce Trampoline party and a friend sleepover... I'm knackered already... best have loads of coffee on hand- four 9 year olds... it'll be a longgggg day! X

There are ways to recover deleted photos - eg on my Android (Moto) they stay in the Photos app bin for 60 days and can be recovered from there.

Must admit I'd never noticed anyone doing that. You Mods are eagle-eyed!
That is one wierd obsession someone has...
 
@Qualcast&Flymo where is the photos app bin? My father's is a Samsung S6? If I could retrieve them (we don't have a PC/Laptop just a Chromebook and it isn't running Windows so a lot of the apps on Play store dont work x

On my Moto, you go into the photos app, tap on the three bar symbol, it lists the folders including the Bin. I assume this is generic Android, but I suppose it could be Moto-specific. Hope this helps!
 
I think it's just your phone hun. Samsung Galaxy don't seem to give you that luxury 😪 so cross with myself.
 
Thanks for that @Lady Kelly .
I hope you get your pics back, @ThePiggieHouse. In my experience, data isn't usually deleted completely from storage on a phone or 'puter immediately, even if it doesn't go to a 'bin' folder, it is still there until overwritten, so there's still hope for your photos! .:tu:
