Cacoethes 05-10-2023 11:35 AM

Wow!

I know, i was joking! XD

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 11:36 AM

I hope L is OK Cacoethes.

Sorry you had a rough day yesterday Zurg, I hope today is less stressful.

Yes, my birthday was yesterday. I'm now 33 :) my family visited in shifts, I got Costa, cake and presents.

Zurg 05-10-2023 11:48 AM

Happy belated birthday, Tamo :D
33 is a very respectable age and one you can keep for years if you wish ;)

Beckie, i know people who legit see themselves as responsible adults and i would much rather have you look after me in case of an emergency than those people!!! Just saying!!!
I am crossing fingers for phone call happening soon, Jen.
Go to pee and put on a snuggle jumper, Lindsay. You will regret it otherwise <3
Lio, you should reward yourself with coffee and cake for adulting so Well!!!

Trying to look after myself and take it easy is surprisingly difficult. Maybe i should have some lunch soon. My wee bun bun is a bit poorly. He was yesterday too. He eats and poops but he doesn't run around doing his usual shenanigans. Maybe another pulled muscle…. I might try giving him some pain meds. I don't like him being sad and quiet bunny :(

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 11:48 AM

Yeah she's ok. Just tired. She doesn't sleep all that well and is a bit like me when it comes to resting! (As in, she doesn't XD)
So I'm glad she's having a snooze

Aw happy belated birthday!

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 11:49 AM

Thanks zurg!! :-D
Lunch sounds like a good idea!
Poor bun. Hopefully just an off couple of days

Elmer 05-10-2023 12:03 PM

Happy birthday Tamo! Welcome to the 33 club :)

I would like coffee and cake but neither of those things are in my house that I do not wish to leave :')

Hope that the bunny perks up, pets are so good at causing worry.

Hope the nap does L good Beckie

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 12:39 PM

She seems a lot better after a nap!

Zurg 05-10-2023 12:41 PM

I gave him some pain meds. He was not happy to eat the piece of pear with the meds on!!!! But if he wanted the pear, there was no other way. After resting a wee bit he is now busy munching on all the snacks he can find that he has abandoned over the morning XD
I had lunch. I feel so responsible. Such a freaky way to feel…..!!!

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 12:45 PM

Bless him!

Feeling responsible is weird indeed!

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 12:48 PM

Did you pee and get a jumper yet osc?

I hope the rabbit feels his normal self soon Zurg.

Thanks for the good wishes.

I'm glad L seems better Cacoethes.

Good lunch today! Minestrone soup.

long road 05-10-2023 01:15 PM

Lol at me failing to see you were joking Beckie!

Poor Findus. Hopefully he can nap and sleep it off.

I was on phone to OT for over an hour. And she brought up mental health stuff and I ended up being honest. Good call but a hard one.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 02:23 PM

Soup is usually a safe bet in hospital!

Really glad you were able to be honest jen

L felt well enough to go to asda to get some lunch.
So I've just made pasta and pesto for us both

long road 05-10-2023 02:29 PM

Pesto pasta is a god tier food. I miss pesto but as partner is allergic to nuts I would have to make my own which i have yet to get around to. Jenna has sent me a recipe though and when I finally buy a blender, it's just never the number one thing on my to do list, I am definitely going to try it out!

one_step_closer 05-10-2023 02:51 PM

I did pee and get a jumper right after I posted! I need to pee again though...

Well done everyone for what you've been doing.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 03:44 PM

You should definitely try it out jen!
But i get just not getting around to it

Oh no lindsay!
Hopefully you've been by now!

one_step_closer 05-10-2023 03:47 PM

Pasta and pesto is not an exciting thing. *runs away*

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 04:22 PM

You don't have to run away for having an opinion lol

long road 05-10-2023 05:57 PM

It might not be like the most exciting thing ever but it is very tasty and always satisfying. Plus it's kind of forbidden food for me which makes it more exciting XD But like Beckie said different opinions are fine!

I was rudely awloken form nap by duty GP and am now going back to sleep.

one_step_closer 05-10-2023 06:45 PM

I think pesto is a bit yuck!

*runs back*

I hope you got back to sleep, Jen.

How is your patient doing, Beckie?

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 07:28 PM

My patient went home!
She still has parental responsibilities but was feeling a lot better.
I have been put as her new emergency contact for work, so I must have done a decent job XD

nonperson 05-10-2023 07:30 PM

Evening everyone.

I love pesto but totally understand why people might find it gross.

Poor L! But well done for being a good carer, Beckie.

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 07:33 PM

Well done Cacoethes!

Loving pesto.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 07:34 PM

Thanks guys!
Don't think I've ever been the carer before XD

nonperson 05-10-2023 07:34 PM

Do people have a preference for green or red?

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 07:49 PM

Usually green, i think mostly because that's just what we had growing up!
I do like red also

nonperson 05-10-2023 07:52 PM

I always go for green too. But occasionally red. Dunno why! I think I saw a yellow one once... o.O

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 08:04 PM

Yellow??
Idk how I'd feel about that!

nonperson 05-10-2023 08:06 PM

ikr

Not sure what made it yellow!

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 08:12 PM

Apparently it is yellow peppers!
First one i came across was a jamie oliver one.
Hate that guy. He got rid of turkey twizzlers and decent school lunches in general. Prick.

nonperson 05-10-2023 08:14 PM

Pepper pesto... not sure what I think about that but my face is making a disgusted expression.

I kinda like Jamie Oliver because he dumbs things down to my level.

I also think healthy school lunches isn't a bad thing =/

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 08:23 PM

What do uou think about curly fries np?

nonperson 05-10-2023 08:29 PM

I think very highly of curly fries!!

How is it possible for curly potato be even better than straight potato?! =P

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 08:46 PM

I mean, now i actually have a child yeah.
But AS a child, hell no!

I do enjoy the video of him showing american kids how chicken nuggets are made and it's gross, but they still choose them and he looks utterly defeated XD

Curly fries are the superior fries

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 08:53 PM

My dad can prepare himself a fish, head and all - including eyes - and STILL EAT THE FISH

nonperson 05-10-2023 09:02 PM

I think I'd rather not see how chicken nuggets are made. And that's maybe why I only eat the meat-free versions nowadays.

Dunno how your dad managed that, tamo!

I was served whole prawns in the pub the other day and had to pull the head and tail off and it was honestly the most disgusting thing that it put me off eating more than one...

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 09:27 PM

My step dad used to do that with pheasants.
Quite often I'd open my coat cupboard and find a few pheasants hanging in there (before they had been plucked)
Thankfully just a phase

Surprisingly, the quorn nuggets taste literally exactly like maccies nuggets!
I mainly eat veggie versions of things now

Yeah i wouldn't like that np!


On a food related note, does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants in Cambridge??

nonperson 05-10-2023 09:32 PM

Hopefully a short phase...!!

Yeah veggie nuggets are exactly the same =P

Sadly not. I have never been to Cambridge! Are you looking for something more unique than the usual high street restaurants?

long road 05-10-2023 09:56 PM

Hate to tell you no but red pesto generally had red peppers in. I know because I can't eat it (I have a food intolerance to peppers)

Healthy school lunches aren't a bad thing but the way it went down from all to nothing wasn't the best. I think it being banned at school mad em rebel and eat more when we were allowed to buy it on sixth form from the sixth from canteen and if it had always been available seeing as I had a packed lunch I probably wouldn't have been fussed.

I have eaten fish I have gutted before but only the tail part.

I too have never been to Cambridge

I am having Weetabix and banana for dinner after waking up from a nap like half an hour ago.

nonperson 05-10-2023 10:22 PM

I thought red pesto was more tomato based? =o

long road 06-10-2023 12:13 AM

I thought it was red pepper I might be wrong.

*Checks Google* well according to Google traditional red pesto is sun-dried tomato based but some red pesto contains roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomato. So be careful in your selection of red pesto in case you accidentally end up.witth peppers NP! Today I Learned.

Cacoethes 06-10-2023 06:00 AM

Morning everyone!

Was looking for something a little more special np, because it's my bday weekend!

I've always assumed red pesto was just sundried tomato based
I love sundried tomatoes

Elmer 06-10-2023 08:37 AM

Pesto is so expensive now I nearly died

Morning :)

nonperson 06-10-2023 09:20 AM

Yay for the pesto Google facts =P

Morning all.

I'm currently busy trying not to look awkward waiting for my train to arrive...

Cacoethes 06-10-2023 09:24 AM

Everything is expensive now!
The boys have cucumber every day, a single cucumber is 79p!!!!
They were 65p when i got the piggos last November

Anyway.
Morning Lio and np!
How are you both?

Going anywhere nice np?

nonperson 06-10-2023 09:26 AM

I'm alright. Bit tired. Going to London for the day with my family though.

Why do people insist on walking so close past you on train platforms. Nearly had my phone knocked out of my hands just now.

How're you?

Cacoethes 06-10-2023 09:37 AM

I hope you have a nice day!

Because people are twats

I'm okish
Work today, bit worried

nonperson 06-10-2023 09:40 AM

Thanks.

Yes they are.

I hope it goes ok. Just do what you can and remember you have a good support network there.

Cacoethes 06-10-2023 09:50 AM

Thank you
Yeah that's true.
It'll probably be fine

Elmer 06-10-2023 10:03 AM

Hope you have a lovely time in London NP - and yeah people are idiots

Beckie, what NP said. Take care of yourself.

I have the dentist (alas) and then my depot (alas^2) and then I'll see how the rest of the day goes

one_step_closer 06-10-2023 10:09 AM

Morning everyone.

Hasn't it just been your birthday, Beckie? It feels like it! I hope work goes ok. Make sure to say to someone if you need anything.

How are you today, Jen?

I have the dentist too, Lio. Hope you get on ok with both things.

I hope you enjoy your day, NP.
