@Blackcloud mostly pretty tired honestly, my insomnia won again last night so I’m running on like two hours sleep 😅 my week was a bit busy as I’m in the process of organising all kinds of assistance things with my mental health and life circumstances in general but a couple days of driving out to the country was certainly a big help
also!!!! I saw you mention fishbowl earlier and I was like OMGOMGOMG because fishbowl is truly one of my absolute favourites too 😍 sadly I no longer have one local to me anymore but when I did live near one it was truly the best, it’d always make me feel soooooo much better if I wasn’t doing physically well too

@Sparky79 please believe me when I say I’ve been making those exact same jokes for weeks especially as a mushroom enthusiast and I am SO GLAD someone finally said it! 🤣

@lonemushroom I was going to say that mushrooms in beef wellington are to die for, but I restrained myself

@lonemushroom sorry to hear about your sleeping issues 😞 regardless, it seems like you’ve had a great week though and that you’re working on getting things back together regarding your mental health and circumstances 🙂 and I can imagine driving to the country takes many hours!! I know when I was with my family and extended family overseas when we decided to go on a trip from one state/area? to another, we had to use a van for us to get to there and I’m pretty sure it took like a total of 13 hours each both to get there and to get back from.
fishbowl is definitely one of the very places of all time to order takeaway from!! That’s sad that it’s no longer local in your area 😕 and true, it’s definitely worth eating when we know we need it!! 😋🥗

@Blackcloud Oh wow! That's so cool that you can explore courses in this way through OUA. I may look into it myself, thank you!
... how did you go on the strawberry matcha front? 👀
This is sooo fair! It feels like a lot and when we add all of life's other costs on top of that... it can definitely be too much. I am glad you made a decision that felt best for you.
It seems like you are really taking your budgeting seriously atm based on your recent comments - that's really difficult, so you should be very proud of your efforts. 💪🤩

Hello @Shaz51 - a bit of a late reply, I'm sorry!
How is life feeling for you today? 💛
I totally feel you on the gardening front, I have a few plants that... need way more TLC. 😅
My housemate has a black lab that is a jumper and a licker haha it can be a lot, but she is hard to be cross at because she is so cute!
What kind of dog would you like, if you could have any?

hi @AuntGlow no worries! 🙂
I actually gave a matcha berry bomb (is that what its called exactly?) with oat milk a go, which is like a matcha with berry puree/syrup on it. Not a fan of the taste as I've found the syrup/puree to be a bit sweet for me. But I do consider on giving the strawberry matcha a go next time! hmm, how about sometime this week? 😄
you know whats funny? this has been my first ever fortnight (ever since I've moved out) that I have not spent a single dime on eating out (takeout/takeaway meals AND/OR meal delivery plans) within this whole fortnight (I get my next fortnightly income/paycheck tomorrow). i do consider it to be the hardest decision i've made though, since i felt that ordering takeout meals from certain places/restaurants are and were more yummy and worth easily getting full with when you eat them, than my own AND mum's homemade cooked meals lol.
thank you, i try to do the best i can to not put myself at any financial risks. 🙂

@Glisten reminds me of a joke - "Who's the fastest race care driver?"
"Lauda."
"Okay, WHO'S THE FASTEST RACE CAR DRIVER?!"
"LAUDA, F*&^%NG LAUDA!"
Yes the new Dalkeith, where no one from Dalkeith would actually want to live!! As I said to someone, if I wanted to live in Dalkeith, I'd move to that part of the city.
I happen to like the Valley of the Swans. A house down the road from me that has the same dimensions as mine sold for over 700k recently. I told my mum I'm selling up and we're going on a round trip to every country we've ever wished to visit.
I hope your coma like nap was enjoyable. I can't remember if I took my nighty night meds. If I'm still awake at 0300 I'll know I haven't!
I hope your week is going well. Make sure you buy yourself somethin' pretty to remind you of how amazing you are 🙂
