Hey everyone!

I really enjoyed chatting to you all on the bank holiday thread I made last week. I thought I'd make another one today! What's everyone up to today and how's your weekend been so far? 

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I've been getting everything ready to go back to work tomorrow. Super anxious so trying to keep myself calm

    I’m just spending the day in bed, as I’m not feeling so well. Perfect excuse to catch up on some Netflix 💓 How has your weekend been Aife?

    @GreenTea I hope it goes okay tomorrow, the first day back can be a really worrying feeling. What sorts of things have you been doing to keep yourself calm? 

    @Past User sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon :). Have you been watching anything good on Netflix? 

    My weekend's been nice and chilled. I did a food shop, then just spent the rest of it catching up on TV shows too. I've been watching The Bold Type on Amazon, it's such a good show! Has anyone seen it?

    I’ve had a very stressful weekend , we still haven’t a clue where dad could be, trying to get everything sorted for college next week and trying to get this essay and other tasks finished for Saturday so I can print it off at the library 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    @Aife out for a walk at the moment but it's just started to rain and I'm in a t-shirt 🙃 probably gonna go home now and do some self care like face masks. 
    I just don't know how it's gonna go, six weeks off, major changes to everything such as timetable, building,  how class will work etc.
    The whole thing is just filling me with anxiety

    Hi 👋 

    i have had a nice weekend. I major challenged myself yesterday and went to a party all day. I had henna done there and got a picture drawn by an artist of me. Also am very proud of myself because there was so much alcohol there and I literally had like 4/5 drinks all day and when I started feeling bit drunk I stopped and just had lemonade or coke. So I’m feeling proud of mysef and am glad of it today lol. Am so tired tho after so much people-ing so I have got a bag of popcorn and some Diet Coke and plan to spend all day watching films :) 

    hope u all having a nice weekend 
    The sun will rise and we will try again

    @Millie2787 It sounds like it's been a really tough weekend. I really hope your Dad is okay and I hope you're okay too <3. 

    @GreenTea oh no! It always seems to rain when we're least prepared for it! Lots of changes and not knowing how things will go can be a really scary feeling. It's really positive you're taking time today for some self-care. Face masks are a great idea! 

    @Jellyelephant This is so great Jelly! I'm really proud of you <3

    @Past User Great Netflix choices! Bridesmaids is one of my favourite films!

    @*BananaMonkey* I love Netflix days! What are you watching at the moment?

    That sounds amazing @GreenTea! You'll have to let us know what it tastes like!

    What are y'all watching on Netflix? Struggling to find things to watch
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,687 Skive's The Limit
    I think we should have a continuous weekend thread & a week day thread that just go to every weekend/day, just a thought :)
    & my sunday was & still is shit

They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I went to an Eagle sanctuary. Then after that we went to a nice restaurant for lunch and had a massive roast. Does not help my Cramps at all!

    @GreenTea I started watching Travis Scott's documentary but got bored! Have you seen The Great Hack? That's really good! Your cake looks amazing! Is it vegan? 

    @Shaunie that's a nice idea! Sorry to hear your Sunday wasn't the best. Are you up to anything nice this week? 

    @Kasa2103 that's really cool! Did you take any pictures of the eagles? 

    @Past User a picnic in a castle sounds amazing! Hope you had a nice time :)

    Cool. I will start them back up. Will try to remember each week if I can. What about Monday threads where we share our week plans too? Or just friday thread 
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,687 Skive's The Limit
    I think monday thread would be good too. But not sure what others think.
