A very happy accident!

I don't drink anymore because of FND sometimes making me act drunk when I am sober. But I went through a short phase of drinking Guinness around d17 -18 before moving back to cider which was always my main drink of choice.

Don't think I've ever tried sherry. I know its more of an old person after Xmas dinner drink!
What does it taste like?

I do like a cider.
Do you like fruit cider or just kind of general apple cider?
My favourite for ages was mango and raspberry rekorderlig, but we stopped doing it for some reason :(

Mainly apple cider but I do like pear cider. I find the fruit ones a bit too sweet, that and down her ein the south west you get ribbed for drinking 'squash' instead of proper cider XD

Sad times when a favourite anything disappears.

The fruit ones are very sweet tbf
Definitely couldn't drink more than one.
A lady the other day had diabetes so I offered to show her all the labels of the drinks she was thinking of. The amount of sugar in things I didnt even think of was insane!

It is :(

Thanks guys, I definitely did have a very productive couple of days which is nice. :)
Glad work was okay Beckie. Hooray for happy accidents! I don't drink any more but I do miss it. I liked a good cider. Strawberry and lime cider in a beer garden on a warm day - what a treat.

To quote Keeping Up Appearances "it was like ferret pee". Disgusting imo and only people I know who like it are the elderly.

I am still awake.

I have however put a load of washing on, tidied the kitchen counter, steam mopped the hallway floor, done my invoices and sent them off, and put 4 more things on Vinted.

I haven't sold anything on there yet though. There's 16 things on so far so hopefully I get something sold soon.

I need to be up at 9:15 and it's already half 5. I'm not sure whether to just try powering through and staying up, at this stage.

Morning everyone

Hope you manage to get through today ok beth

How're you Beckie?

I'm ok thanks!
Did you manage to get any sleep?

I fell asleep about half 6, so an hour and a half ish?

What's your day looking like?

Better than nothing I suppose! Still not great. Hope you manage to get through the day ok.
Got anything planned?

Looking pretty decent.
Going for a drive this morning, getting some new windscreen wipers. Driving to MK later to pick something up (I am absolutely NOT driving in MK though XD) and work at 5. Then L is picking me up from work at 8 and I'm staying at hers.

That sounds like a good day!

I'm going door shopping (the excitement is real!) this morning, the place is only open til 12pm on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays. I've managed to persuade my Dad to drive me there though as it's an awful bit of road and if you go even slightly wrong, you're on the motorway. I've only driven that road once in 11 years of driving.

So I need to be at my parents for 10am. Annoyingly now I'm stuck in waiting mode though as I don't need to leave for an hour, which is not enough time to try sleep more.

Then a class at 1, and then hopefully get some sleep!!

It should be! :)

Ooh door shopping! Bit weird that it's only open until 12 on a Saturday! That's the only day lots of people are free!
Yeah definitely sounds less stressful to get your dad to drive.

Ugh. Waiting mode is awful. Hope it passes quickly!

Morning Ahimsa and Cacoethes. Sorry you didn't sleep Ahimsa. I hope you both enjoy your days. I'm thinking of stealing a handbag off L so I'm giving it a test run on my walk to Mass today.

Morning all. My new bra came this morning as it came from the USA so wasn't sure if it was coming or not as tracking stopped working once it was in the UK. But no ransom fee which is good :-) . Also a bracelet arrived today and it fits. I bought it as it was going cheap over Easter and totally didn't expect it to fit so the fact it does is a bonus :-) .

Afternoon everyone.

Sorry you didn't get much sleep, Beth. I hope you can get some sleep later. Door shopping sounds interesting!

Hope you have a good day, Beckie. Working again?

Hope Mass is good Tamo and you successfully steal the bag and like it!

You had to get a bra all the way from America, Dawn?!

Doors have been purchased!! I had priced them up online and they were £2500 for the 9 I need, and then delivery on top - which is INSANE money and absolutely not affordable.

I found a cheap door place with virtually identical ones, I've got all 9 and delivery for £800! Which yes is expensive but when its been on the list for 4 years and doors are expensive anyway! And my current ones are falling apart, are yellow stained, are old fashioned hollow ones so dont keep any heat in, and have big chunks out of the bottom where they dont meet the carpet - its an investment!

How is everyone else doing?

Great deal there, Beth! Do the company fit the doors?

I've been to the chemist and post office, done a washing, cleaned my kitchen and bathroom, and hoovered. The wind is picking up a lot now. Think my neighbour's hat just blew off his head and into my garden!

It's a bra with a design on Lindsay hence why it came from the USA. Also it's a pull on bra (I have difficulty with regular bras) and I only know one company in the UK that does my size in pull on bras. They don't have fancy bras. Mine is a Gryffindor bra.

Loving the Harry Potter bra!

Thanks tamobhuuta.

Clothes should always be fun!

I am also wearing my new cobalt blue top. But that came from a company in the UK not the USA.

Hello everyone,

Was doing better physically today but took that feeling ok and tried to do all the things and now am not feeling so good. DOH! Having a snack and then going to attempt to rest. Still have a touch of the zoomies though so might be tricky to relax.

Well done everyone on their tasks!

Do you get new clothes regularly? Blue is my favourite colour.

Oh dear ninja Jen! You just can't seem to find a balance. But I think I too would try to do lots of things if I felt better after being restricted with what I could do for a while.

Balance is tricky. About to attempt to nap.

Hope you can have a good nap.

Alas my attempt to nap has failed.

Boo. What are you going to do instead?

Hi all. More productive days I see! Sorry about the nap Jen, hope the rest at least helps. I've been super busy today with the baby shower stuff, and spent a bunch of money too. But I like what I've got and the to do and to buy lists are shrinking thankfully. It's so muuuch. I hope it goes well after all of this lol. I'm home now, thankfully resting as I'm pretty achy and tired! Anyone up to anything fun this evening?

Well done for doing all that, Luce. I hope you can relax for the rest of the day. I never do anything fun! Will put the TV on soon.

Good morning all.

Morning everyone!

I did not get much sleep last night.

How are you Tamo?

I am good thanks. Been wondering where everyone was! Sorry you didn't get much sleep. Are you up to much today?

Morning everyone.

Sorry you didn't sleep well, Jen.

What are you doing today, Tamo?

Not got much on, so can have a chill day.
Want to try and have a shower at some point.

You up to much?

I hope you can have a nice relaxed day and have your shower if you feel able.

Hey everyone!

I hope you have a nice day lr.

How are you osc?

My sister has come round. I'm also working on a painting.

Hi Cacoethes, how are you?

Afternoon all. When I eventually got to sleep I slept well. Managed to have a shower plus wash and dry my hair. Oh and get dressed which is an achievement.

Hope you have a nice time with your sister tamo
What are you painting?

I'm good thank you! Had a really good drive today and yesterday :-D

That's good Beckie.

Anyone else suffering from high winds? I hope I don't lose the television signal again.

Thanks dawn!

Yeah, really windy here!
Fingers crossed it wont affect your tv! Always annoying

Hi Beckie, I'm glad you've had some good drives. How long till your test now?

I hope you enjoy your time with your sister, Tamo.

Well done, Dawn.

Yeah it's windy here too. Another storm passing through.

10 days!

Is it rainy and stormy where you are lindsay?
It's sunny and warm here but super windy!

Had a nice time with my sister. She was helping L with organising her clothes, I just watched mostly in between painting. I did a Jesus for Fr R to say thanks for all he did for me whilst I was in hospital.

Thanks Lindsay.

10 is a proper count down number! No it's not raining here.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time with your sister and your painting, Tamo.
