What are your plans today?

[Laurel]

meh Lidl bakery, stuff where everyone's coughed over.

not sure my plans today- 2 coffees. Should I go on a walk where a panther has been seen. Do I risk getting mauled.

[Percy]

At Manor Farm with my adopted nephew and niece's.

[BFG_]

Gardening.

[Chess&Junkfood]

My plan was to meet up with my Brother today, but it didn't happen. My other plan is to do some hoovering. There might even be some shake n' vac involved! Although that might be going a bit too far!

[Mo34]

Another empty day. I did go for a drive to get petrol. Then on my drive home I went off somewhere else to another town (it's a nice drive up there though). About 2 hours in total behind the wheel. Highly unusual for me.
Back home, late lunch then fell asleep as I'm bored.

It seems to get harder and harder to fill my time with anything I find fulfilling.

This evening I need to find a mediation for my group tomorrow and a sodding Ted talk for a group I'm covering. :/ I've got the don't want go to work tomorrow feels.

[Laurel]

I had a day like that the other week Mo, no idea where I was going and got in the car on an aimless drive.

I managed to go, and also not get mauled. No sighting of a big cat anywhere just some ponies and a small frog.

On a train to Liverpool, going to look at a couple of museums and just wander around.

[Laurel]

got to help move my sister today. Hope my back is good!

Went for a run this morning followed by clearing the other side of our house. 30 years of ivy, bushes trees trying to grow and junk chucked there by previous owners.

[Amara 94]

To cut some old carpet to throw away, read, if the weather is alright cut some of the back garden.

Lay the carpet out in the back garden, two birds with one stone

PIP review. It's been ongoing for over 10 months, but today they wanted to telephone me - I've managed to avert that, but things are still very much up in the air.

Sorry, I'm just a bit self-involved today.

[avoider]

No, the forum is for people to post about their feelings and what's happening!

I'm sorry to hear that, those things cause so much stress.

[Percy]

I'm dreading my next PIP review.

[gregarious_introvert]

^ When's it due, Percy?

[Percy]

^Don't know, which doesn't help.

[gregarious_introvert]

^ Whenever it is, with the current backlog, you can expect the decision to take at least a year, so you'll get a year's extension on your current award.

[Dougella]

^ I don't know why with PIP they insist on putting people through so much stress by reassessing them when their conditions are lifelong. The only kind of reassessment done in those cases should be just to check incase people might need more support than they're currently getting! But anyway.

[gregarious_introvert]

^ The issue is that PIP isn't given for the condition itself, but the way in which one's life is affected by the condition and that can change over time; of course, the irony here is that any improvement in quality of life is usually funded by the income from PIP, so then removing that income would then cause a deterioration, necessitating receiving PIP again.

[Dougella]

^ Yes indeed.

[Laurel]

I got to walk long and far to supermarket. Problem it’s 19C, do I wear a sweatshirt.

I have to buy milk, vitamins, garlic, something meal-worthy, white tea as there’s never any milk at work. And use a free £10 voucher.

[Amara 94]

To fix shower hose, cook for today and the next two days, iron and then some studying.

[Laurel]

I can't go anywhere till my car is fixed, 5 days time..

[biscuits]

^ that sucks. Bus?

I'm taking my car to the garage for a new battery and then maybe going to a Japanese restaurant with my sister in the evening.

[Laurel]

Bus? God no. I might get Bus Bugs.
