My DG Ep10 - Read Bird's Replies

47 Comments

This is Bird and this is my take on what happened in the DG this week.

What do you like to do during your 'me time'?

Thank you for your comments. Read some of my replies below.

My DG replies: Aaisha786: Dear Bird, During my \u2018me time\u2019, I love to draw, watch The Dumping Ground and play on my phone! I think that you are such a loyal friend. Good luck with your fishing!!! Bird: Hi Aaisha786. What kind of things do you draw? I\u2019d love to be more artistic, like Candi-Rose. She\u2019s amazing, so creative. Thank you. I try to be a good friend as much as I can.
My DG replies: Book reader dancer: If I don't have my 'me time' I quickly become exhausted, so usually I read my book or listen to an audiobook whilst sitting in bed, sometimes I go outside for a peaceful walk or bike ride if the weather is good and when I'm done I feel much more energised! Bird: Hi Book reader dancer. I think we all need to just take ourselves away for a bit sometimes, have a sort of \u2018reset\u2019. They sound like great ideas. It\u2019d be great if the weather was a bit nicer here sometimes wouldn\u2019t it! Can\u2019t help but think I may be in for some cold / soggy fishing trips\u2026
My DG replies: footballguitaristgirl24: Hi Bird, I love the dumping ground! During my me time I like to play my electric guitar as it is so much fun and it makes me feel happy! Bird: Electric guitar? Wow, footballguitaristgirl24, that is AMAZING. I love music. What\u2019s your favourite song to play? Anything that is fun and cheers you up is great, everyone at The DG has their own thing \u2013 painting, football, sewing, chocolate\u2026
My DG replies: Safah: During my "me time" I would usually sit down, play some relaxing music and meditate. But, I have a question for you bird. You seem so kind and helpful but how do you keep up this attitude and act all the time? Bird: Sounds very peaceful, Safah, I might try that. Not sure how much meditating I\u2019ll get done in this place though, might have to hide in the attic. I\u2019m don\u2019t think it\u2019s an act. I genuinely want to help people and to keep the peace. It\u2019s just hard to do sometimes when people can\u2019t see that I\u2019m trying my best! Hopefully they will be a bit more aware after this though.
My DG replies: The Worst Witch fan: Dear Bird, What I like to do for a bit of 'me time' is that I like reading a book, spending time with my friends and drawing. I think that you're so kind and that its ok to put yourself first before others and you don't have to help them if you're busy. Bird: Thanks The Worst Witch fan. It\u2019s hard to put yourself first sometimes, especially if you\u2019re worried that it\u2019ll cause problems for other people. But, at the end of the day, we can only really help others after we\u2019ve helped ourselves first. We need to be kind to ourselves.
My DG replies: U18129839: Hey bird, My me time is normally practising my acting singing and dancing and also reading but also when I feel sad i watch the dumping ground because it always cheers me up and I feel so lucky to have a mum and dad and I know where they are. Everyone on the dumping ground is an inspiration to everyone. Bird: I was thinking you were very energetic there, U18129839, but it sounds like you\u2019ve got a good balance with some reading and quiet time too. We\u2019re all lucky in our own ways. Everyone here at The DG is like our own weird and wonderful family, which helps whenever any of us are feeling down about our other family as we all stick together (mostly!) to help each other.
My DG replies: U18130162: Dear Bird, In my me time, I read, use the tablet/ my phone. I love hanging out with my friends and we have me time together. Keep believing and good luck on fishing! Bird: Hi U18130162! I spend loads of time on my phone too, but I like to balance it up with something outdoorsy, like how I want to try fishing. You and your friends have me time together? That\u2019s kind of cool. I guess we do that too sometimes when we\u2019re all vegged out in front of the TV but doing our own thing.
My DG replies: U18134336: Dear Bird, In my \u2018me time\u2019 I like being alone in my bed mostly drawing and watching DG I think your so kind and I think Candi-Rose and you could work out! Bird: I\u2019ve heard drawing can be great, U18134336. You can just get lost in whatever you\u2019re creating. Sasha loves it, she disappears for hours or even days at a time when she\u2019s making a new piece of art. Eh? Not sure what you mean about me and Candi-Rose ;).
