LindsD 7 Aug 5:16pm, 7 Aug 2024 69,216 posts	0 LindsD I have tried tempting with food and drink.
LindsD 7 Aug 5:17pm, 7 Aug 2024 69,217 posts	0 LindsD What do you mean Idris? Communicating by text? Or just not rattling their cage? I find it concerning that she doesn't do anything really w her friends.

IdristheDragon 7 Aug 5:53pm, 7 Aug 2024 8,624 posts	0 IdristheDragon Sometimes communicating by text/instagram/whatsapp. Sometimes (like now) I have managed to get the living room (usually she does!) and she is elsewhere. Although she is out with various friends quite often too Am feeling she will snap sooner or later but tomorrow she’s off to Edinburgh for a couple of nights which helps!

LindsD 8 Aug 2:48pm, 8 Aug 2024 69,234 posts	0 LindsD She seems much brighter today. I think it was to do with the job-that-she-hates. We've told her she doesn't need to go back. Also I was in a foul mood yesterday, which doesn't help.
leaguefreak 9 Aug 9:53pm, 9 Aug 2024 12,993 posts	0 leaguefreak Cedd is starting to open up a little about how stressed he has been about his brother. He is utterly worn out. Also he has turned into an actual bloke. I'm not sure how that happened. He did stealth growing wile we were all looking at Cuthbert.
