Want to play Elden Ring /Dark souls but can't afford the price?

Get these cheaper alternatives from Steam!

Mother has been in Hospital for 5 weeks since this Tuesday past. (Mother is due home tomorrow hopefully) Due to her treatment for bladder cancer she is urine incontinent and gets a limited amount of pads free to help cope. ( enough for her to use 2 during the day and one at night... it isn't enough but there you go.)

     During her stay the staff have "borrowed" these pads for other patients... the hospital couldn't provide her with any some of the time. Monday I brought in 6 night and the same day pads. After I left during the following day ALL of these pads... with out mother being asked. Yesterday I brought replacements. I put them in a bag and left them in a position which should have made it clear that these were patient property. Many of these nurses are clearly awear that these pads are my mothers not the wards. Last night when mother was sleeping ALL OF THESE PADS were effectively stolen. Now we are going to have to buy more privately to cover the next few weeks before we can get more free.

It's bad enough that the hospital apparently don't have enough pads for everyone but to take someone else's equipment especially without asking should be unacceptable.

I wonder if the smallpox vaccine can protect against monkey pox? Would save research time if a vaccine is needed.

He was one of my favourites... I was introduced to his work as he did the title music for Carl Sagan's  Cosmos series...

Well we are going to be homeless within the month.

We received a letter from the council I will quote....


Dear Mrs Roe,
                 
The Rent Officer Service tells me the maximum amount of rent I can use when working out how much benefit I can pay you.

As I have current decision from the rent officer I am unable to take your rent increase into account until the decision ends on 26 October 2022.

I can confirm that your housing benefit will remain the same unless you have any other chances in your circumstances.

Yours Sincerely,


What is worse is that mother is doing nothing about it... She is not intending to appeal... she isn't making any kind of alternative plans... she is just sitting in her chair and making the odd comment about me packing up. The only way we can afford this increase is if we no longer eat food or use any power. I already had to use up my Christmas and birthday money to make up for the shortfall just to pay for our basic groceries.

Yes I have the option of moving in with Henry.... But well if I do so I will never see any of my other friends ever again.... And that should be unacceptable. Croydon may be a dump. But it's home.

Last Wednesday mother was admitted to hospital because of chronically low levels of calcium in her blood as well as some other issues. This evening I was informed that she has tested positive for Covid.

The more I learn about this Vladimir Putin character the less I care for him

I'm starting to think he might be a wrong 'un, despite what that nice Mr Trump says...

I think Putin has "lost it". If he doesn't withdraw his very rich friends will become his enemies and somehow he'll be bumped off.

You'll all call me a filthy casual but I love playing Elder Scrolls Online... When it isn't available I am also playing Destroy All Humans. I love the humour and the 1050 aesthetic
