    Good morning all!

    @Ava16

    Hey! I'm good thank you. How are you? :)

    @Shaunie

    Aww thanks so much :)

    @independent_

    In all honesty, it varies! When I first set up my phone on direct debit it took a while. According to Google, it takes at least 3 days. Try not to worry. The most important thing is that they say you have paid. If you aren't sure the right amount of money went out, you could always contact your bank to confirm :3

    Sometimes my cats like to try and wrap eachother up when pretending to help.

    They haven't successfully done it though but my mum still tries (and fails) to keep the cats out of the way.

    Aw cute @Dancer

    Everytime I get wrapping paper out and lay it down to put something on it - teddy sits on it straight away like I’ve laid it out for him. He’s funny 😅

    How long does a direct debit take to go through? My EE app says I’ve paid but it’s not showing up on my bank account as paid? Is it because it’s nearly christmas? I don’t have any pending transactions

    It can take some time @independent_ maybe not helping that it’s Christmas and things are going a bit slower

    One of my cats is currently snuggled up with me under the duvet. I had my 2nd dose of the vaccine today.

    Thanks guys @Laura_tigger82 @Shaunie I just have an impending sense of doom right now and feel like if something can go wrong, it will, so this thing with the direct debit is really worrying me. Just worried it’s not gone out but I guess I’ll keep an eye on it and if it doesn’t come out in a few days I’ll speak to the bank and EE.

    @Shaunie I’ve now got the image of little dog wrapped up in christmas paper :lol: Theo likes to try to eat wrapping paper on Christmas morning.

    Didn't feel a thing. But now all I want to do is stay in bed.

    Maybe a chill day is in order then @Dancer I had my booster yesterday and my arm was killing lol so I had a relaxing day. It’s definitely a bit better today. I hope you feel better soon too

    Well done @Dancer! How are you feeling after your vaccine? :)

    Got my fingers crossed for you @independent_. Not that I think you need it! I think it will be just fine given time :)

    Glad to hear you are feeling better today after a relaxing day yesterday.

    Thanks everyone for sharing your pet stories! Always makes me smile <3

    I might aswell get my booster too while I’m off. Cause If I’m sick then I won’t losing money from being off sick again. I hope I will get some sick pay atleast

    Jaffa cakes sound wonderful @Dancer :)

    Even though I am dairy-free, I seem to be able to have the cheap supermarket own Jaffa cakes because they tend to contain soya rather than milk! :)

    Aww, Teddy! <3@Shaunie

    ive had a busy morning. Went for a walk round the park with my old support worker and her daughter (we are friends now) and that was nice to catch up with her. Then went to town and got a few last minute present bits and bobs and picked up my medication. Was a bit annoyed though cos i picked up my meds from my GP had sent then got home and found my psychiatrist had posted my prescription and its already here so i could have took that with me too. Oh well im not going back again today lol. He sent me the questionnaires scales things for ADHD but i havent read them cos it made me stressed.

    currently packing to go to my mums for christmas and watching the purge lol
    how are we all today?
    The sun will rise and we will try again
