The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Bloody national rail. Hope there's no more wretched train drama. Good thing you always leave plenty of time!

I'm OK thanks. Sniffly and sleepy as per but I've upped the allergy treatment level to Full Blast so hopefully things will improve.

Currently making cookie monsters!

Idk why they can't just give the train staff what they want!
Very much doubt the train staff are gonna be like 'oh ok, guess it's not worth doing anymore!'
Tbf, it's just the overtime ban today, not strike.
Need to force the people responsible for pay to get the train to work/home. See how fast things change!


Hopefully the treatments help! Must be so annoying!

Oooh what are they?

[not_so_insig]

Morning all. Another visit to the gp surgery today.

[tamobhuuta]

Morning guys. Curled up in a ball with period pains :(

[tamobhuuta]

How are people? I took some painkillers and I think I'm feeling better.

[Cacoethes]

I'm very glad painkillers are helping tamo!
Period pains are grim

I'm panicking about trains and not getting to the airport on time *facepalm*

[long road]

*waves*

I am having a staying in bed day. I got back to sleep around 9:30am and woke up a couple of hours later having a non epileptic seizure. Got a headache too, so have taken painkillers.

Glad you are feeling a bit better Tamo.

When do you need to be at the airport by Beckie?

[tamobhuuta]

Good luck Cacoethes!

Sorry you're not feeling well lr.

[Cacoethes]

Hey! Sorry you're having a **** day jen
Staying in bed certainly sounds like a good idea

I have to be there in 4 hours and 20 mins!
So will get to Farringdon at 2:47pm, then the Elizabeth line to Heathrow takes about 40 mins i think. It goes every 5 mins.
So I'll have time! I just panic!

Thanks tamo!

[Pi.R^2]

Glad you're feeling better tamo!

Sorry you're having a bad day Jen, hope a bed day helps :)

You find out which terminal soon right Beckie?

[Cacoethes]

In 3 hours and 14 mins jenna!
On train to Farringdon now.
The aforementioned 4 hours 20 mins was when i find out destination and terminal

[long road]

So very exciting!!! I hope travel goes smoothly *touches wood*

I am looking forward to getting to ride the Elizabeth line one day. I am a bit of a train nerd (comes of being a civil engineer I think) and I had friends who worked on building it.

Thanks everyone. Bed day seems to be helping a bit. Had about half hour where I had energy to sit up, watch a video on my phone and eat lunch. Now it's time to nap again. Despite not feeling great I am in a positive state of mind which can only be good :)

WHAT. What the heck are you going to do at Farringdon until 5:30???

Glad to hear about the positive state of mind Jen :)

[Cacoethes]

Thank you jen!
I quite enjoyed the Elizabeth line! The aisles seem wider than the other tube lines, and haven't been around long enough to be destroyed by vandals yet XD

I'm glad you are feeling more positive!

I decided to just come to Heathrow jenna!
So i am strategically placed in between terminals 2 and 3. Which is right near the free transfer to terminals 4 and 5. Which only take about 15 mins
So once again, i may have made it more complicated than it is XD

[nonperson]

Surely that all just adds to the mystery and excitement? =)

[Cacoethes]

It does!
Currently I'm just enjoying watching confused tourists

[nonperson]

You should pretend to work there and help them out.

[Cacoethes]

I've never been here before. I probably know less than them XD

[Pi.R^2]

Even more reason to pretend to work there :P

[Cacoethes]

And i may get arrested. I probably already look dodgy after walking to T2 for a hot chocolate, then walking back and chilling by the Elizabeth line/between terminals XD


18 minutes!
