Emma Drew #20 Jam jars, pork belly and excuses aplenty. Size slinky 16? No, more like a 20

If she has irregular cells she will probably be due another screening some time soon too. She announced in September she was cancer free from her last biopsy. So I'd assume she would be having screenings every 6 months?

I do worry I am turning into Emma right now. I have zero motivation, I’ve had to reduce my working hours from fours days to one. I’m eating so much and doing little exercise.

I need to sort myself out because I do not want to end up like Emma

Virtual hugs. Don't be hard on yourself, it feels so odd to have to pretend to care about the minutiae of work and other mundane things when it feels like we're living in some dystopian sci-fi! Things do feel a lot heavier than March 2020 - I think that by now all of us must at least know of someone who has had Covid, and it feels so much more real.

I think the reason why people are giving ya gurl shit is because she doesn't need the excuse of a global pandemic to retreat to her bed of cat hair. Aside from not being able to waddle into Poundland, Covid has hasn't affected her usual daily routine of snackies in her pit of despair.

I'm with those that feel they have the motivation of a sloth right now. I am lucky enough to be able to work from home but that doesn't mean that getting up and ready for 9am isn't a challenge.

I am also eating all my feelings lol. Yesterday I weighed myself and decided to join Slimming World again. I recently moved to the city centre and hate walking around here, I miss the green and parks so working out at home it is.

Emma, we're all going through the motions and you're very privileged. Put ya big girl pants on like the rest of us have to.

I just heard my daughter in laws mother died this morning, cancer not covid. She has spent the last year caring for her and her younger brother and still managed to clean her teeth and brush her hair. Emma has really not had any extra responsibilities.

How infrequently must she wash the cats bedding if they're refusing to sleep in it now it's clean? She's making such a big deal out of it
Yes if she washed them regularly they'd be used to the smell of washing powder
Bless you I can't even begin to imagine how hard that must be being on edge all the time wondering if your house is going to be flooded overnight I remember a few years back when a local town and city flooded really badly and driving past the houses and you could see where the water level had got up to.

Another one in the zero motivation club here too The other day I didn't do anything, hardly moved from the sofa and felt quite down tbh...then I started thinking omg am I turning into Emma? Then it depressed me even more Difference being she has "nope" days all the time and makes out how bloody marvellous she was during the first lockdown going for daily walks and making sourdough bread etc, did she shite do anything of the sort! I did do those things and I am trying to get out for a walk most days as well...and something we all have over Ya Gurl is we damn we'll get out of our beds!!

So sorry to hear that

Hope it goes well and that it doesn't flood. Take care and keep safe

Hope your council is more use than ours if any flooding does happen! Our council tell us if we need to be evacuated due to flooding (we are a seaside town so surrounded by water) to go to the town hall or a community center. They're where the hearts are on my screenshots (excuse the blurs, don't want to advertise where I live for obv reasons). Can you see two very blue reasons why it's a bad idea...?

Fingers crossed yours are a lot more helpful should the worst happen

I live quite near to Hebden Bridge, so if anyone remembers those floods, you’ll know what I mean. It’s a regular occurrence . Well I live in a village a good few miles away but that’s the closest place I’m willing to say/ people who know that area will know what the floods are like

I would imagine you are burned out from having to try and keep going through what is likely to become an entire year (maybe more!) of terrifying uncertainty and balancing life in a completely different way with misleading government information and doom from the media. Please don’t be hard on yourself right now. You need some time to recover and rebuild. And you WILL rebuild, it will just take time. In recovery they talk about ‘one day at a time’ and it can be applied to so many situations, like this one! Listen to what your body needs, maybe adapt a few things. I hear you on the eating. I’m an eating machine right now! So I’m trying to do some healthier swaps. I love soup so I’ve been making loads of homemade soup for nourishment and to fill me up but maybe you’re a soup hater! You’ll find something and you’ll work it out.

Take care of yourself x

Was wondering if there was some way of trending a #justiceforwisp type situation without identifying ourselves

Thank you to all of you, sorry I derailed the thread. Your words have really picked me up.

I think I need to remember that this is her life as a permanent state, I was very active in the first lockdown but this time I am finding it so much harder as I never dreamt we would still be here. I am trying my best to eat a bit less, move a bit more and take it easy.

'imma' give you a slap for the appaling use of the English language on your stories. Makes me rage.

Less than 3 weeks into 2021 (god hasn’t that dragged) and I think we can safely say this

- she’s failed her WLS and is gaining weight
- she’s killed the hamster
- she’s getting lazier by the day.
She’s actually going to need her legs cutting off and will be bed bound if she carries on

Did anyone get a response back from messaging Emma about Wisp? I think someone said they would.

When is the thumb tums birthday? Is it on the 26th? We need to hold a special party for it!!
