I have been without my HRT for slightly over a week now.
I have told the GP surgery that if I kill my entire family this weekend, they will be entirely responsible.
My husband’s response is to make me a large G&T so I won’t be able to catch him πŸ˜‚

Is the commentator on the CANvsNZ Rugby match paid by the word? It’s too much talking.

Can someone at the @gmcuk.bsky.social explain to me why Aseem Malhotra is still on their Register? Pedalling medical misinformation is inconsistent with safe practice in the UK.

I feel like an athlete in the starting blocks waiting to spring into action but the gun isn’t going off.
It’s horrible.

I will have so much to do once we move, the new house has a large unruly garden to sort out but at this moment I am jobless. My garden is perfect, the house is done, no more DIY projects to do.
I could pack stuff up but I worry this may jinx things if I do.

I am in a weird state of mind.
I am stuck in a holding pattern, waiting for the conveyancing lawyers to get their acts together so we can move into a new house more suitable for us, living with an 87yr old woman with dementia is hard enough as it is.
I can’t plan anything.

We were supposed to be exchanging contracts in our house purchase this week but found out today the our purchasers buyers haven’t got a mortgage. FFS how can it get this far without that being checked?! #Conveyancing

Does anyone remember Trump shouting at Zelenskyy in the Oval Office that he was risking World War 3………?

Is the Pope’s funeral being held outside because they can’t risk Donald Trump bursting into flames if he enters a church? #PopesFuneral #Rome

I am reading all the advice I can but having been bought up with her correcting every mistake I made (she was a school teacher). It’s so hard to resist correcting her now.
I know it’s the disease and not her fault but correcting her just makes her cross but I can’t help it.

My 87yr old mother is in the early stages of #dementia. She functions pretty well but is still in denial about her decline. She burns more food than she eats but still thinks she is a great cook, she forgets so many things then denies you ever told her them. It’s really hard to be her daughter now.

Feeling yucky today.
I started an oral GLP 1 drug as part of a clinical trial and after 3 days, I am having the worst sulphur burps. It’s disgusting 🀒

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I’m not sure about Trump putting America first but he will certainly be making it America alone. #Trump #Deranged

I now don’t know how to feel about her death.
I am sad, especially for her family and her children, who are now orphans as their father died 2 years ago too.
But I can’t cry. Maybe I am still in shock or processing it, I don’t know.
It’s a tragedy no matter what.

I just didn’t enjoy visiting her any more. It wasn’t pleasant to be criticised constantly. It felt like she was trying to belittle me. My husband couldn’t understand why I had stuck around so long.
Still our families were all friends too so it created a bit of a rift.

A childhood friend of mine has dropped down dead of a massive stroke age 59. I broke off our friendship when my daughter was about 7yrs old as she was constantly telling me how my parenting techniques were wrong and I should do everything her way (think late Victorian child rearing) 1/2

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I?

Anyone else working out when Trump is asleep so you know when you can get a few hours of no terrifying newsflashes?
I was worried it would be bad but this is so much worse than that.
