Time to get my gal, her ghoulfriend and their gourds out again! (yes I posted this last year but I haven't had the energy to make anything since 😔)

new development. if I go outside and don't bring food it gets stroppy and hides under the table. so that kind of works out okay? as long as I'm not near the table.

haven't seen the black and white cat from my pfp in a while. I just watched the neighbour opposite feed it something. it's cheating on me!!

I have ordered a new heating pad! I do still need money for just... everything though. food, toiletries, cleaning stuff etc as I have no income

if it helps as incentive, I can also buy some freeze dried meat snacks for the cats with donations & post photos? at least one of them is here every day

EE keeps sending me reminders to pay my final bill, but my bill is -£1.60 (as in, they owe me £1.60) and it's set up as an automatic direct debit payment anyway. I have no way to even try and pay them negative £1.60 because my account's now closed lmao 🤦🏻‍♀️

I *think* it's too small because of how it fits over my hand, but then what would I do about my wrist and arm? it's already quite spacious and slides around even when fastened tightly 😔

would help if I attached the photo...

black adjustable wrist brace fastened fairly tightly with velcro straps on a white person's arm.

physio debated whether to go small or xs. this is the small. before they gave me this I had a cast for 4 weeks because wrist wouldn't stop dislocating (it was way better after) and that one cut in to my thumb too 😖

need advice. this is the wrist brace given to me by physio. I can't tell it's too small or too big. it cuts in to my thumb. I have to fasten it tight because my arms & wrists are so skinny. if I don't it slides around & doesn't help. I have quite large hands for a woman too 😖 #MECFS #EDS

WIPs meaning "Work in Progress" art pieces

I also desperately need £9.90 for my prescription

proof that it will not stay on. even when the lights are (briefly) on it doesn't heat up :(

(apologies for blurry picture; one of the lenses on my phone doesn't focus properly & it's the one used for videos)

this is one of the many traps of being broke. can't ever buy anything decent quality because I can't save up, so I end up with crappy cheap shit that packs up in less than a year. I can't even contact them about a replacement as the company no longer exists 😔

my heated blanket just conked out; can't get it to turn on at all. the weather is getting really cold at night & I also use it every day for muscle & joint pain.
please could people repost my ko-fi link again?
the blanket will cost £19.99 to replace which I don't have 😖

I sent them a letter *and* told the receptionist in person to remove her contact info from my details. I explicitly told them that they do not have permission to discuss my healthcare with her.

Tired 🌈🏴‍☠️✨🔇♿🇵🇸 @flintsponytail.bsky.social · 2d

So the surgery has been contacting my mother about my appointments, including time and date, test results, prescription requests etc. Despite my telling them not to contact her about my healthcare. This is a serious breach of UK law, right?
I have no problem with any family reading this (hi!)
