Up for a chat?

Sleep well @Till23 and @Appleblossom 😊

Thank you for your chat and time. I do feel better. I am no longer crying 🥰. And I think i shall also be able to log off and get some sleep now too without mental stewing.

Never any pressure on you @Till23 . Always just a pleasure and joy to chat when you do pop on. Take care of yourself, and hopefully having fun with your sports too.

@AlwaysMyself hey i would of responded earlier if not wasting the last hour plus on a massively disheartning waste of time, is tyour request filled by the other wonderful forumites

sorry just saw last message....

sorry you were crying and happy your not now!

hope you get that sleep and wake to a better day

Thanks @REDLINEZ750 🥰

Sorry to hear you also had some disheartening things last night. Did there end up being any positive next steps come out of it??

Welcome to chat it over if it helps.

As for my gnomes, I am currently experimenting with how to paint grey (or salt and pepper) hair for the male gnomes. Its still in progress experimentally on the gnome on the right. Next Step is to redo some highlights to lighten it abit again.

The gnome on the left was actually from Woolworths, and I like that it has a garden pot. But I also like variety hence the other 2 from kmart.

hey @AlwaysMyself sadly no which i need to look into and see if i got my own wires crossed or where it went wrong.

go to a seyvice thats all aboutn helping with certain problems i learned of from SANE, look them up read around web site take a breath and dive in to be asked have you thought about ringing these other people si i say i know them why and get told that they can get me ongoing support if thats what i need so i asked why dont you just have that in bold letters for people to read instead of the bullshit i just read saying you could and signing up for nothing,

that was me done

did you get good sleep? thanks for wellcome

Just catching up on this thread @Till23 submissions for the newsletter are due by the start of October 😊 I'll send through an email too to see how you're going with it

@AlwaysMyself these are some great ideas that would be great in the newsletter. I wonder if you'd be interested in adding them to our next one? We can be sure to tag you when we put out our next expression of interest so you'll have a bit of time to decide on an idea that you're excited about!

Oh, that is a very frustraiting and disappointing experience @REDLINEZ750 !! I had a similar circular loop experience a year ago where Service A did an interview assessment and referred me to Service B. So Service B did an interview assessment and referred me to Service A! They didnt take in the background detail that I made an appt with them at the recommendation of Service A who didnt have anything suitable lol. I was pretty annoyed, but was able to keep an even tone and explain to the unlucky person delivering me the "recommendations from the assessment" that I felt very frustrated and upset because I had said in the booking *and* interview that I was referred from Service A, and felt that I wasnt being heard properly if they were giving Service A as the recommended service to contact. They took it on board and agreed to re-discuss with the team for an alternative suggestion instead. But it was only because I was able to calmly assert myself that I got that outcome. I felt simultaneously like hanging up in anger or yelling about how I felt because I was so desperate to find support -- thankfully i did neither extreme response, but took a few breaths first.

I wonder whether planning what you would like to express and the circular-service-loop experience would be helpful for you?

I wonder if the two services could even organise a phone call between themselves to see if/what they jointly think can be provided to support you best? 🤔 rather than just passing the hot potato between them.

I slept ok. About average for me. 🙂

I improved my gnome beard colouring a little more this morning. Now I have to repaint the surrounding areas lol due to the flecks of grey.

Oh I understand these gnomes now @AlwaysMyself a picture says a thousand words. I hope you are able to work out the grey paint!

I have been doing a little bit of catch-up gardening - not enough, but it's something! I hope to do a bit of weeding later this afternoon. I seem so busy! I have another big sport comp in a month. I am feeling a bit stressed about it and other stuff!

I hope you got a good sleep last night and are feeling better today

Ok thanks @Ru-bee re newsletter submissions
