Sunday Coffee & Chat - 5 April

Hi @Fluttershy1 

Other than Tuesday, I have a quiet week

Tuesday I have my depot injection, 90 minutes travel away. Followed by telehealth therapy

I don't usually do anything after the depot, but this was the only therapy appointment available

Hi @Fluttershy1 I am picking up my daughter at 12 and bringing her back to see my mum, sister & partner for Easter.  She turns 17 on Wednesday, so I will give her, her birthday present as well. But I would say we will be pretty chilled.

Just cooked rice

Since fried rice is best with leftover rice, which has been in the fridge. I made it now, just to age in the fridge for fried rice later

Hai @DogMan79 - that sounds like a busy Tuesday! But other than that is a quiet week, that’s always good! 

im off to the zoo Wednesday, Thursday doctors. 

Hai @Mustang67 - I hope you have a great day with your daughter! 

Thanks @Fluttershy1 I always do. She brightens my life up everytime I spend time with her. Enjoy your Easter xx

morning all, hope you're all having a nice start to your day✨

i've got some news to share - today's my last day as a moderator at SANE. i'm finishing up with this role to prioritise my studies (i'm back at uni). it wasn't an easy decision to make, but i knew it was necessary to prevent burn out for myself. 

i have learnt SO much from this community, and i feel very lucky to be able to hear people's stories and watch you all grow. it's been such a privilege watching you all support each other - the strength you've all shown is incredible. 

i will miss you all very much - and thank you all for making me feel apart of the forums family 💗 

i know i'm going to miss some tags so i apologise in advance: @Fluttershy1 @Cat34 @DogMan79 @Mustang67 @Blackcloud @MissGremlin @avant-garde @NightFury @Shaz51 @outlander @Eve7 @Snowie @PeppyPatti @Dimity @Appleblossom @Flutterbug9 @Chasingsunsets @AlwaysMyself @Cuddlebear @Carebear @Oaktree @ENKELI @GezzaP @oceangirl @TAB @Bill16 @StuF @Meowmy @SmilingGecko @DownMoreThanUp @Emelia8 @Zoe7 @creative_writer @Glisten @D1ng0 @MJG017 @Spirit_Healer @The-red-centaur @heartathome @Till23 @REDLINEZ750 @Captain24 @Bow @MatchaToad @Judi9877 @NatureLover @Rhymster @ccau_82 + everyone else!!

What are you aiming for in your studies 🤔 

Thank you 😊 for everything you have done here and remember you are always welcome back 😍

@rav3n  take care and I hope your studies are going well ahead! I really enjoyed talking to you when you used to be active on here. You’ve been the only peer worker that I relate to when it comes to sharing my issues relating to family and cultural traditions & you being able to understand that and share your lived experience of a similar issue has meant so much to me. ❤️ I will miss seeing you here so much. You’re a very kind, compassionate and empathetic and that’s what I admire most about you. I really thank you so much for all that you’ve been doing for all of us on here at SANE forums. 🫂

The support you have provided to the entire community here has always been full of kindness, compassion and understanding and it's always been so very appreciated. I wish you the best for your studies, I know you'll be amazing ❤️.

Oh, high pressure degree. One of the exceptions to the saying "P's equal degrees" since postgrad relies on higher marks. And careers rely on postgrad

I went to church this morning. @Fluttershy1 .

If I keep my word to @Dimity , I'll go for a little walk later.

Lovely teapot @Shaz51 !

@DogMan79 yep if i want to pursue a PhD or something at that level, i do need to keep my grades up. i'm not too sure if i want to do that level of studies though, but i'm trying to keep my grades up just in case. 😊

Thanks for everything @rav3n !

And All The Best!!! 🙂

We'll miss you @rav3n !

@rav3n That is really sad news for SANE 😢 as you have been such an amazing support here for sometime. I do applaud your decision though, it is not easy working and studying and to acknowledge that you need more time to devote just to study is brave. Thank you for everything you have done here ....I am sure it will not be forgotten (neither will you ❤️). Please pop in occasionally if you can. One of the great things about the forum is that WE ALL have a place. Please also keep us in mind if YOU need support. It may feel a little different from 'the other side' but we are here for you too. Goodluck with the study - I have no doubt whatever avenue you take in the future, you will be amazing 🥰

You will be missed  @rav3n 

Thanks for all the diplomacy you showed in keeping me in tow 😁

I personally wish you all the best and hope to see you back sometime,

fare thee well friend rav3n

Oh @rav3n I'm going to miss you! I've come used to seeing your name around. Thanks for being a great moderator and getting me started six months ago! Wishing you all the best! 🙂 

Hi @Cat34

@creative_writer @REDLINEZ750 @heartathome @Fluttershy1 @TAB  

 @rav3n  follow your rainbow, I'm still going to tag you most likely I know you won't be there but maybe it could see some positive energy sent your way.

Ithe news has a sadness to it, your presence will be missed and very warmly received should you pop in from time to time.

thank you so so much for the love and support 💖 @StuF @tyme @Zoe7 @creative_writer @REDLINEZ750 @heartathome 

@rav3n , I want to express my appreciation for how you have made me feel welcome and supported here. I loved your enthusiasm and kindness, too.

All the best with your studies and I hope you find your career as rewarding as I have found mine 🙏❤️🤗

@rav3n 

Sorry to hear the news of you leaving, but I understand the need to.

Thank you for all you have done, you have made a profound impact on many members.

Wishing you the best of luck in the next steps in your life.

Hi @tyme how is your day going?  I have picked up my daughter, so I am happy now 😃

@tyme @Appleblossom @rav3n @MissGremlin

@rav3n  Uni was some of the best years of my life. Go with your good self and may the path rise to meet your feet.

Take care @rav3n 💛. I only just came across your post, I’m so sorry this reply is late, I know there’s a chance you might not see it 😭

I just wanted to say thank-you for everything. You’ve been such an important part of the forum and I feel really grateful to have met you! Especially as the first Peer Support Worker I connected with here.

I haven’t been around as much lately, I’d already been missing our chats. Wishing you all the best with your studies, you’ve got this, I know you’ll do amazing!

Please give the biggest hugs to your blue rabbit for me 🐰 I always loved hearing about his little adventures (especially the beach photo!).

Thanks also for the tip of the banana up&gos- now also my favourite hehe 🫶. Maybe you’ll be back for another round of ‘elf on the shelf’ ☺️

I’m really glad our paths crossed. Take care again @rav3n you truly deserve the best 💛☀️

Hello @AuntGlow 😊

@SmilingGecko 

@GezzaP 

@rav3n thank you for being such an amazing Peer Support, you have always been fair and kind and you will be greatly missed.

Good luck with your studies, you will do will I have no doubt.

I hope you will still pop in and share updates (Enkeli crosses fingers and hopes!)

Hugs 🫂 xoxo
