Ive not been paid fully so thats another headache, I hate when things that are supposed to be simple just aren't. Things are a bit fustrated here too and I'm dead bored
i just had the best meal deal ever. it costed £5.50 since it was a premium meal deal but i got it for £1 off so i only paid £4.50 which is good. i had a chicken buffalo wrap with a dip, ready salted walkers crisps and pepsi max.
I think I 100% wasted my time in chat today
Im sorry I've been a broken record repeating myself and apologising then repeating myself and apologising then saying " I have a lot on" and using general chat spaces as support but just had a lot on my plate then something else comes up thats fustrating on top of everything. Ill be fine soon though, im just sorting it out then i could use general chat being more upbeat. Thanks for understanding
Hey @Nathan sorry to hear that you felt that way and the chat wasn't a productive space for you. If you wan't to use the baords for support or just to chat, we're here to listen.
@Verity I mean, i sort of got ignored for half an hour straight in chat, not a reply to a single thing i put for that half an hour, despite over 50-100 posts during that time from others nearly all of which got replied to instantly, with multiple mods in chat. I'm sure you can understand why that is a little bit more than just a feeling and more so a statistical fact. I'm not complaining, I just know for future is all. I could have made a lot more use of that time if i had known, with my manifesto instead.
@Nathan I completely understand how this could make you feel like the chat was a waste of time, I'm sure none of the members of community and staff want you to feel this way and no one deserves to feel ignored. We always try to treat everyone equally and sometimes chats are busy and we fall short, but it is never our intention.
Thank you for sharing how you felt, we hope it dosn't happen again but if it does feel free to give us a nudge, we don't want to miss anything you have said and value you joining chats.
I feel like of unintentionally contributed to this as I was also doing the chat. I'm really sorry @Nathan.
@Nathan
I’m really sorry if I was a part of this Nathan. I think you asked how I was and I did not end up replying. I’m still doing awful, but I never meant to make you feel ignored or hurt and I sincerely apologise if I did so because that is completely my fault and I shouldn’t let my own things negatively spill over onto anyone else. Your messages and your presence truly matter to me and I hope you know how much you are valued and appreciated here.
I always wanna isolate
I bite all the skin on my fingers and hands and nails
Im back in work tomorrow after a day off, I just don't want this job to be long term or even life and just having lesser qualifications scares me , i just found studying hard and everything but I still want to move forward. I'd feel so stuck this being it
Im struggling
Im feeling alone
here if you want to chat
Thanks bro, I was going to go to sleep but we can talk in the morning maybe after work if you want but I know might have college or Asda
Yeah, it's late. I hope you sleep well and have a good day tomorrow.

I'm fine, just trying to relax. How are you though and how is work?
I finished for today, its only 2.5 hours so been home for a while but yh I think hopefully thing home are hopefully better too, think if anything bad would have happened it would have happened by now. I hope you're relaxing well.
