Cute! Crookshanks used to walk over my keyboard and search for stuff on Google!

Cacoethes 07-01-2024 07:09 PM

I do like cats, but I'm more of a dog person!

The fluffies are fine thanks!
They gave me attitude for a couple of days after getting back from holiday, but they're over it now (mostly thanks to veggies and herbs)

I am just about to eat spaghetti and meatballs in a tomato sauce.

Then going to double check the online click and collect order for tomorrow before watching some TV to try and relax after an afternoon of form filling. More form to fill in tomorrow.

Aww cute kitty cats!

The way to a guinea pigs heart is definitely veggies and herbs!

Cacoethes 07-01-2024 08:13 PM

Ooh yummy!
Top tier meal right there!

Glad you're slowly getting the form filling done!
Slow is probably the best way to do it!
You'd think you'd be able to do it online by now

It is!!! They are very food motivated XD

tamobhuuta 07-01-2024 09:03 PM

Mmm meatballs. I had a cheese and salad sandwich which hit the spot.

maii 07-01-2024 09:04 PM

Good afternoon all - I hope everyone is doing well. Take care.

tamobhuuta 07-01-2024 09:05 PM

Hi maii how's your day going?

long road 07-01-2024 09:59 PM

I can confirm my spaghetti and meatballs was delicious

Yeah planning to slowly finish it over next couple of days.Weirdly I did my initial application form online but for review they have sent me a paper copy!

I must be a guinea pig for I too am very food motivated. I got fruit toast as my treat in this week's shopping!!

Was it good cheese Tamo?

Hey Maii!

maii 08-01-2024 12:03 AM

Hi Tomo, I'm just (barely) hanging in there, I guess, and I hope you all are doing better than myself today.

long road 08-01-2024 12:31 AM

Day is almost over for me. Been a bit of a tricky one. But productive.

Are there some things you can do to help yourself out Maii? Maybe do something nice for yourself?

maii 08-01-2024 01:16 AM

Thanks LR and I'm sorry it was "tricky" for you and know that all too well myself.

Its almost over for me and I take my nighttime meds in about 2 hours.

But to answer your question, I don't know, I just made some tea and am going to watch a movie that doesn't require much thought for myself to avoid wallowing too hard.

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 04:43 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 10:27 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 10:28 AM

Yaaay someone is up! :-D

I'm ok thanks.
Trying to practice acting normal for my work meeting XD

How are you?

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 10:31 AM

I'm ok. Got up in time for breakfast but back in bed now! I hope the meeting goes OK.

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 11:23 AM

It's good you got up for breakfast :)

Thank you
Here early so just chilling in the bar area
Haven't opened yet so it's empty and weird

long road 08-01-2024 12:44 PM

Morning!

Hope your meeting goes well Beckie.

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 01:03 PM

Just had a nice visit with my dad.

one_step_closer 08-01-2024 01:37 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Hope your meeting goes well, Beckie.

How are you, Jen?

Glad you enjoyed seeing your Dad, Tamo.

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 01:41 PM

How are you osc?

It snowed for 3 minutes - while I was asleep!

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 01:42 PM

Hi everyone!

My meeting went well. Doing a phased return
And I saw E :)

Oh no! Not snow!

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 01:43 PM

I'm glad the meeting went well.

Snow is good, in the amounts we get here anyway.

one_step_closer 08-01-2024 01:46 PM

No snow here. I have been to Lidl and also washed my hair and hoovered.

I'm glad your meeting went well, Beckie. :)

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 01:47 PM

Well done osc.

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 01:59 PM

Thanks guys!

I do not like snow. It interferes with most of the things i have to do during the day! Slippery paths, wet, cold, having to have the same conversation about 'oh it's nice and warm in here!' With every.single.customer when I'm at work!' (Though that one applies to whenever it's cold. And we get the opposite with the air con in summer)

Well done Lindsay!

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 02:30 PM

Weather update: it's snowing again, but very lightly.

Edit
It's got heavy!

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 04:32 PM

Snowing here too :(

one_step_closer 08-01-2024 04:51 PM

I kind of want some snow. Hope it doesn't get too bad with you both.

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 04:56 PM

I hope not. I have stuff to do, places to be!

not_so_insig 08-01-2024 05:25 PM

It's very cold here. But it's not snowing.

tamobhuuta 08-01-2024 05:29 PM

I reckon no more than a cm here.

one_step_closer 08-01-2024 06:52 PM

Beckie and Tamo will go to sleep and wake up to a thick layer of snow!

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 06:55 PM

I really hope not!

one_step_closer 08-01-2024 07:00 PM

That's what usually happens here when we're meant to get snow.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 07:11 PM

Fingers crossed for no snow!
I have to get a train tomorrow!

I'm currently watching mulan

not_so_insig 08-01-2024 07:26 PM

I currently have a cat sitting on me. I am in bed because I am freezing despite having the heating on, had several hot drinks and a shower.

Zurg 08-01-2024 07:52 PM

I have snow. As much as you could possibly desire. It's free too!!!!

Cacoethes 08-01-2024 08:04 PM

That sounds like an excessive amount of snow!

maii 09-01-2024 01:15 AM

I also had snow.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/07/weath...ate/index.html

But I'm fine, and yeah, free snow; Zurg :)

maii 09-01-2024 01:15 AM

How is everybody doing today?

Cacoethes 09-01-2024 02:03 AM

Not bad!
Apart from it being 1am and only had 1.5 hours sleep XD

How are you?

long road 09-01-2024 02:04 AM

I have not slept yet. Taken my painkillers but still in pain so struggling to sleep.

Oh no Beckie! Do you think this is you up now?

Cacoethes 09-01-2024 02:29 AM

Sorry to hear that jen!
Sounds awful
Hope the painkillers kick in soon

Yep this is definitely me up now!

long road 09-01-2024 02:56 AM

It's almost time I can have another dose. Hoping that will do it.

Oh no! Hope you do not get too bored! May Have suggest a shark documentary and or film?

Cacoethes 09-01-2024 03:02 AM

Fingers crossed!

I'm already bored XD
Currently watching random disney films.
Oliver and company atm!

long road 09-01-2024 03:26 AM

Oliver and Company, is that the strange one with the cats?

not_so_insig 09-01-2024 03:28 AM

Hello all. I am awake but have not attempted sleep yet.

Cacoethes 09-01-2024 03:29 AM

Mainly dogs, oliver is the only cat.
Had it on video as a kid

long road 09-01-2024 03:32 AM

I knew ther was a cat in there somewhere! I hope it's entertaining.

Hello Dawn how come you haven't tried to sleep?

I can feel painkillers starting to kick in now so going to make another attempt at sleep myself

Cacoethes 09-01-2024 03:34 AM

It's similar to the story of 'Oliver' the musical.

Good luck jen!
