    @independent_ sorry to hear that :/ always available if you feel you need to chat about it.

    I'm sore, tired and hungry atm - food will fix one and hopefully sleep will fix the other two :D

    @Supernova thank you. Not much that I haven’t already said lol.

    Ah hopefully food and sleep help! I should sleep but I probably won’t lol

    Of course, you're welcome. Doesn't matter if its repeated once, twice or a hundred times tbh. As long as you get it off your chest.

    Yeah and knowing myself I'll be waking up at 3am, so at least you're in good company :D

    Damn @Supernova when did you sleep?
    🎵 I feel so funny these days, I'd rather sleep than stay awake 🎵

    Like 12.30 @Apollo

    I always manage to stay awake till I'm exhausted in hopes that I'll get a good sleep and fix my sleep pattern. But I keep waking up within a few hours regardless. :(

    This is looking really good @GreenTea. I love painting by numbers, it's so calming. You'll have to keep sharing pictures each week so we can see your progress. Can't wait to see the final picture :)
    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 ❤

    Thank you. I brought a really cheap one that I was so so unhappy with. So I went on Amazon and found this one. The bottom corner is done too but it's so big I have to fold it to paint and last night wanted so more bright colours to do so changed the section. It's keeping me heavily distracted right now which is what I need because I'm really struggling

    @GreenTea you've done so much, it's looking good. I'm interested to see what the pink sections will turn out to be :)

    Hello everyone. I actually had to get out of bed before lunchtime today. :( It was worth it though.

    Please someone answer. But what do you think the wait is for private surgery is?
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. 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

    If you are willing to pay thousands up straight then probably straight away. All private care about is the money

    From what I've read, you need tonsillitis 4 times a year for them to be removed. Regardless of private or nhs

    @Shaunie not sure, but I always thought with it being private there’d be less of a wait than with NHS. But might not be as quickly as this month.

    That's what I've read on the NHS and Nuffield... There's still procedures and guidelines they have to follow in terms of reasons to perform surgery

    It will depend on your clinic and how urgent they think your need is I suppose. Tbh I’ve never had private healthcare so I don’t know for sure all I know is probably quicker than NHS if there’s good reason.
