The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Where are you going with L, Beckie? That is a cool t-shirt!

Hope you are sleeping, Jen.

I went on the bus to get Crookshanks a cardboard scratching board because he loves them although they are very messy. He's not too bothered with it right now though instead he is sleeping on my lap. I also went to McDonalds because I had a voucher.

Did you have an appointment, Jenna?

How are you getting on, Tamo?

Yummmmy, McDonalds. I hope Crookshanks shows an interest in his new toy once he's awake.

Yeah, I had an appointment and I feel very confident I got the right day and it was also within their opening hours!

Best thing about McDonald's is the McFlurries :) i hope Crookshanks enjoys his new toy. Are you enjoying the snuggles?

I'm ok. Not great but better than yesterday which is definitely a good thing.

Afternoon all. I am attempting to make an apple crumble. Cheated slightly and bought ready made crumble topping. If it turns out half decent then that's a win.

How annoying jenna! Very strange situation!

We went to the RSPB nature reserve. Had a coffee then did one of the trails. Was really nice!
Then we went to another coffee shop, just because. Then asda because i needed one thing and actually got the one thing instead of loads of things XD
Then chilled at mine for a bit.

Ooh maccies! What did you get?

[not_so_insig]

Made the apple crumble. Too hot to eat rn so am waiting for it to cool down. Will probably have it later with ice cream.

[tamobhuuta]

Mmm apple crumble!

[Pi.R^2]

Aww that sounds nice Beckie. You might be my new favourite couple!

tamo I disagree with your McDonald's opinions

Dawn, how did you prepare your apples for your crumble? Hope it's nice!

[tamobhuuta]

But.... Pi.... how...???

[Pi.R^2]

McFlurry??? It's just vanilla ice cream with a few sprinkles! Absolute let down imo.

[not_so_insig]

I peeled them, sliced them up, added sugar and shoved them in the air fryer for 15 minutes in a cake tin. Then added the crumble mixture on top of the apples and baked for another 10 minutes in the air fryer.

Sounds fun, Beckie.

I got a Big Mac and fries. I am terrible at eating Big Macs, they just don't stay as one thing.

You are very air fryer savvy, Dawn. Hope you enjoy your crumble.

[Cacoethes]

Aww that's sweet jenna! Who was your old favourite couple? XD

I like a mcflurry. But it really is just whippy ice cream with bits of various chocolate in

Yeah big macs never stay in one piece!

I got nearly 4 hours of sleep. Which is a result!

Glad it looks like you guys have been having fun :)

[not_so_insig]

Thanks Lindsay. I have yet to eat it.

[long road]

Hope you enjoy your crumble when you do eat Dawn. Will you have it after dinner tonight?

I am propped on my sofa watching you tube on my TV. Feeling better than at 1am this morning but around the same as 4pm yesterday. Essentially still I'll but not the illest. Hope I can get some sleep tonight *fingers crossed* 4 hours in 34 is not a vibe!

[one_step_closer]

I'm glad you got some sleep, Jen and will keep my fingers crossed that you get more and have a better night tonight. What are you watching on YouTube?

[long road]

Just watching some travel vlogs. Might try and watch an actual show in a minute.

We have ordered pasta from the Italian place for dinner. Because partner is not up for cooking and I definitely am not! But I didn't want anything super greasy as my tummy isn't the happiest

How has your day been Lindsay? Has Crookshanks been enjoying his scratch board yet?

[one_step_closer]

What kind of pasta? I hope you enjoy it.

My day has been mixed. Crookshanks has mostly been not bothered by the scratching board and has been sleeping instead.

[Pi.R^2]

Enjoy your crumble Dawn, you do indeed seem very skilled with the air fryer.

Beckie - my sister and her boyfriend were my previous favourite couple.

Jen - I too wish to know what pasta you're having!

Lindsay- tell me one of the good bits in your mixed day please :)
