Haha!!!

I thought for a minute that it was one of those words that reads the same upside down, but after precariously lifting my already broken laptop upside down, I realise it is not.

It reads qnd upside down.

However...

qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd
qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd
qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd
qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd
qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd
qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd qnd

Mwahaha.

Ahahaha!!
How do you even pronounce that?!

Turn your phone/laptop upside down and it's pronounced pub!

Turns out that the burns night isn't very popular. I cant say that I am disappointed.

Dawn! I have a Welsh question for you.

So... at work we have an oak called the Pontfadog oak because it came from a really really old oak which died a few years ago near the village of Pontfadog. But my question is, how do you pronounce Pontfadog?

Is it like... Pont-FAH-dug or Pontfa-DOG? If that makes any sense.

It's Pont-FA-dog!

Cheers Eska! That's how I've been pronouncing it anyway but i can say it with enough confidence.

Eska is right btw.

*slumps on top of zombie and np*

It’s a shame you’re not a fan of Burns night Dawn although I am also thankful no one seems inclined to set off any fireworks. Burns was an amazing poet and in glad an important literary figure is so highly regarded as to have a day that people are aware of for them.

It also matters to my Scottish support worker so tomorrow I have a one day late Burns night (well day) planned with classic Scottish food and stuff planned to surprise her. Unfortunately though my Asda order didn’t have the haggis I ordered in it and was impossible to try n get today so it’ll be Scottish Food, homemade Cajun meatballs I made Friday and neeps and tattles :p. Epic dessert planned though and it’s the thought that counts I hope!

THats such a thoughtful thing for you to do buttons!

Morning all. Furry alarm clock strikes again. Though he did let me have until half 8 this morning. A whole extra 30 minutes.

Morning everyone.

So lovely of you Buttons <3

I really wish you had some doors Lillie! Although one of mine was moaning at me outside my door this morning.

That sounds amazing Buttons

Morning guys

Cats can be lovely but also very annoying it seems!

Good morning everyone. Hope you slept well? I did, except waking up needing the loo once.

I was the same tamo
Woke up once for the loo at about 2am

Slept very well. Think I might have been woken up by the cat at about 5am as I found myself asleep on the sofa at 9. Went to visit our new allotment, I've got no clue what I'm doing.

What is everyone up to today?

An allotment sounds cool!

I'm not doing much. Was going to go swimming but I have a delivery coming and tbh the pool will probably be noisy and full of kids, even though they do have separate lanes for serious swimming

My godmother's husband has an allotment and occasionally she brings us vegetables :)

Swimming is great, fingers crossed it's not too busy!

That's nice tamo, there's nothing like home-grown veg.

She brought us a squash once and Mum made a delicious pie. I ate some of the filling by itself.

I love to swim!

Home grown veg is the best!

I don't know why people like swimming, it makes you feel all wet! Even a shower is bad enough.

It's a great exercise!
I have pain issues so the gym is really painful for me and swimming is good because no pain! And I can just switch off for an hour and not really concentrate

Whatever works for you!

I have pain issues too but I find exercise helps. Because of the fact that I can do more exercise swimming than walking or going to the gym it's really helpful. Plus because I have to pay full price swimming is cheaper than the gym. The only issue is during that time of the month and when the kids are off because that means that I cant go.

Yep each to their own!

I don't really mind when the kids are off because there are designated lanes most of the day and the kids don't tend to go in those unless they actually want to swim lengths which is fine.
And I don't have that time of the month and haven't in about 6 years so that's not an issue!

An allotment sounds good, bring us some veg once you're all sorted Soft Kitty!

Stop bragging about your lack of woman issues Beckie! :tongue2:

I can't swim so it's not for me. I don't think I'll be able to learn now.

Haha! It is quite glorious :p

That's fair enough lindsay!
What are you up to today?

I can imagine!

I have done quite a bit - been to Tesco, hoovered, changed bedding, put a washing on, had a shower. Now I don't really have anything to do. I hope I can find something to occupy myself with.

What are you getting up to while waiting for your delivery?

Wow well done!

My delivery has arrived so I'm just chilling now with a cup soup

I also may not have had so called womens issues for at least 7 years now.

I'm noming pringles.

Yay us!
Women's issues suck

Mmmm pringles

SHUNS you both!

What kind of cup a soup and what kind of Pringles?

Get stabbed in the butt every 3 months and you too could be issue free. Simples.

BBQ

I don't really have a need for contraception so I'll just suffer every month!

BBQ is tasty. Enjoy. :)

I'd say the need to not suffer is need enough. That's why I have it.

I don't have a need either but still have it because I hate women's issues. And it saves money!

I had a vegetable cup soup!
It was rather nice

Are GPs/whoever ok about it if you don't need it as contraception?

I'm not sure if I've ever had vegetable cup a soup.

How is everyones day going?

I have an IUD which is great (though a difficult process in the first instance). Bum injections made my women's issues much worse unfortunately. I'm sure a GP would be very understanding if there are other reasons you might want contraceptive meds. People have them for lots of different reasons.

Vegetable soup is quite yummy.

My day is okay. Went to Homebase as my OH insisted on perusing the trowels. Got hot cross buns from Morrisons though.

Hey all!

Yeah, many people take birth control to manage periods & other reproductive system issues. I also have the depo shot and that's my main reason for getting it.

I got up to eat and I'm now I'm back in bed.

I did need the depo at the time and just never stopped it!
I've been warned about increased risk of something or other but I'm not bothered.

I enjoyed it!
It was a heinz one.

A day out browsing trowels sounds interesting...

How many different types of trowel can there be?

Reckon np will be the best person to answer that one.

Ah yes
Np come back!

I mostly associate trowels with builders.

One of my brothers has a 'shot trowel'. It has a bell on it like a bicycle bell.
It's basically a large trowel with holes for shot glasses. We used it when I went over on xmas eve

That sounds completely weird, who thought that up?!
