a chance to win an iphone 11 and yep I won the phone paid the £1 they asked for a page came up with details of the win but
disappeared after a second now I am wondering if it is legit cos I gave my card details and a £1 was withdrawn from my bank account.
I guess I will have to wait and see if an iphone 11 comes in the post,eh?
Has anyone else here won a phone by clicking on the ads at the bottom of this page,it's too good to be true so I guess it must be a con?
And I gave my card details oh no!I figured if it wasn't legit you wouldn't allow the advert on your website page?Am I right?It was a scam I cancelled my card with the bank so no harm done.

Glad you cancelled your card. Yes sounds like a scam, if they ask for your bank details it's not genuine.

I'm not sure about whether this site would allow ads like that (I haven't seen one) but sometimes it can be pop ups/adware on your own computer/phone.

I been trying to keep myself busy with watching movies to distract myself from social media bullying.

Trying to keep busy to cope with boredom, but the thing about having exciting plans is the lack of excitement leading up to them.

My arm still hurts,it only woke me up briefly last night though and I didn't have to get out of bed,I just used a large bean bag to prop myself up in bed in a seated position cos it hurt less in that position and I was able to get back to sleep again.My arms has been hurting for two weeks now and I really am fed up of being in pain!

Lockdown is really starting to make me very low I am fed up of being stuck indoors and not be able to just go out find a cafe or coffee shop and sit there for as long as I want.and the cinemas being closed.Also upsetting is the prospect of when these place are open again not being allowed in cos I haven't has the vaccine.The world has gone to pot it's a living nightmare!We have lost so many freedoms and we are headed for world dictatorships.

My arm hurt so bad last night and I ran out of painkillers,from 9pm last night I've been asleep in the sitting position,lying down brings excrutiating pain now it is 4.40am and I am awake might as well stay up ,have a shower at 5am,put bin bags out for dustmen and stay up till it is time to go to post office and then go do a food shop.Not feeling like going out but it's food shop day.I gotta pay money into my bank so the bills get paid too!

I'm having a difficult time. I tried retail therapy. I was just looking at stuff. But I don't know what I want.

Marylin · Jan 19, 2021 at 03:09 AM

I've been up since 4.30am I had toast, took my medications,tidied the kitchen, put dished in sink to wash later,changed cat litter,put bins out for binmen
and had a shower,dried my hair and got dressed and had a cup of tea.I am going out to pay bills and do a food shop at 9am.I am getting tired again and yes my arm still hurts a lot,
damn it!

Not doing so well. We are in a horrible heat wave and still in this semi-locked down phase. My husband is being a grouch. I'm tired of it all.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 19, 2021 at 02:17 PM

I seem to be doing better today.

Have Hope · Jan 19, 2021 at 03:36 PM

I'm in bed.

Mountaindewed · Jan 19, 2021 at 04:55 PM

I wasn’t doing bad today. I’m just confused right now after therapy about what I want and don’t want. I’m in bed now but I have a video session with my Pdoc in about an hour. I wonder if he’s gonna blab to my T that I seem like I’m in a funk and if they will put two and two together. Often he doesn’t even seem to catch onto my body language or tone.

I am also legit very tired. I haven’t slept good in 2 nights.

Buffy01 · Jan 19, 2021 at 08:06 PM

I feel like my day was off. When it should have been good. Nothing went right.

TunedOut · Jan 20, 2021 at 01:20 AM

Felt energetic/got a lot done yesterday but was so tired last night that I forgot to take the 300 mg gabapentin pill that I usually take every evening. So I woke up between midnight and 1:00 AM. Having decaf coffee and took that pill in hopes of getting back to sleep in a little while. If I don't, it will be a low energy day.....

Deilla · Jan 20, 2021 at 01:45 AM

I'm doing well this morning. I've been talking with a new friend I made in-game. It was nice to have some kind of human interaction. I'm going to do some chores then head back to bed.

Mountaindewed · Jan 20, 2021 at 04:00 PM

I’m not coping badly today. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. Got dressed. Kept my visible moods in check. I’m not S or thinking of SH. Basically I’m still just super down and I don’t know why. I’m not hungry. My stomach is really off and my anxiety is through the roof despite 2 mil of Xanax spread throughout the day. I wish I knew what was wrong.

Discombobulated · Jan 20, 2021 at 05:26 PM

Such a strange day, very dark and rainy all day, but doing okay today despite some very realistic worries about people I care about.

Mountaindewed · Jan 21, 2021 at 02:30 PM

I’m seriously considering going inpatient to the mental health hospital. My anxiety is so out of control. I don’t feel like it’s a safety issue but I can’t eat much and I’m sleeping terribly and it’s just taking a toll on me.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 21, 2021 at 03:02 PM

Today my coping ability is off & on, sometimes ok & other times pretty difficult.

Discombobulated · Jan 21, 2021 at 03:35 PM

I feel sad today, a few things getting me down, but I am okay and coping with it. I'm safe and warm (on a cold winter's night) and going to watch some TV.

WovenGalaxy · Jan 21, 2021 at 03:56 PM

Things are going pretty well today. I also was able to do a load of laundry and saw my parents - and side note, my parents got the vaccine today which I'm feeling very happy about.
