That's what Sundays are for Lio!

We've just been doing various things that needed doing. Cleaning out the piggos, cleaning, washing, and I made banana bread.
Might get Colin Robinson out this evening for a hold now he's done shedding.

one_step_closer 23-02-2025 06:49 PM

I didn't realise there is actually a yellow weather warning here.

Don't be judging yourself, Lio, just do what you like!

What did you do with Colin Robinson's shedded skin?

Cacoethes 23-02-2025 07:09 PM

That doesn't sound good lindsay!

I still have it currently. Not sure what to do with it!
I've folded it up and it's in a container in his cabinet atm.

Cacoethes 24-02-2025 08:50 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 24-02-2025 01:31 PM

Afternoon!

Cacoethes 24-02-2025 01:32 PM

Hey tamo!
How are you?

not_so_insig 24-02-2025 02:15 PM

Hello all. I have tesco coming later.

Elmer 24-02-2025 02:24 PM

Hello :) hope your days are going well

Beckie you should do some kind of artwork with Colin Robinson's shed! A snake mosaic or something!!

Do you have any fun treats coming in your Tesco order Dawn?

not_so_insig 24-02-2025 02:44 PM

Yes I have some ice cream Lio.

Elmer 24-02-2025 02:59 PM

Ooh, ice cream is good!

one_step_closer 24-02-2025 03:12 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Shedded skin art gives me the creeps! :laugh:

How are you all?

What kind of ice cream, Dawn?

not_so_insig 24-02-2025 03:22 PM

Creme egg ice cream Lindsay.

one_step_closer 24-02-2025 03:53 PM

I'm not sure what I think about that, Dawn! It sounds interesting but creme eggs are so sweet. Have you tried it before?

tamobhuuta 24-02-2025 04:00 PM

Yes to creme egg ice cream, no to anything snake.

I am ok thanks, got my L visiting this evening :)

Edit: she's not MY L, I just meant she's not Cacoethes' L!

not_so_insig 24-02-2025 04:36 PM

I had creme egg ice cream in a tub before Lindsay but this is a cone so am not sure what it's going to be like
Hopefully it will be ok and if not I know not to buy it again.

not_so_insig 24-02-2025 04:37 PM

Hope you enjoy having a visitor tamobhuuta.

Cacoethes 24-02-2025 05:20 PM

Just popping in on my break to say hi and hope you're all having good days!

one_step_closer 24-02-2025 07:10 PM

Hope you have a nice visit, Tamo.

Sounds interesting, Dawn. Ice cream is probably not as sweet as an actual creme egg.

How are you getting on, Beckie?

tamobhuuta 24-02-2025 09:23 PM

I had a good visit thanks. Meds at 9 so bedtime soon :)

Cacoethes 24-02-2025 10:59 PM

Work was ok thanks!
Same old really. 2 days off now :-D

Cacoethes 25-02-2025 08:29 AM

Morning everyone

Elmer 25-02-2025 10:17 AM

Morning! How are you? I'm on a train!

Creme egg ice cream sounds delightful.

How is everyone's Tuesday?

Cacoethes 25-02-2025 10:26 AM

Morning Lio!
I'm ok thanks. Kind of. Well, not really. But I'll live! XD

A train! Going anywhere exciting?

Elmer 25-02-2025 12:04 PM

Sorry to hear things aren't great Beckie :( don't forget to post for support if you need to

I'm on a different train now! Going on an adventure

one_step_closer 25-02-2025 12:18 PM

Morning everyone.

Sorry you're not doing great, Beckie. I hope you can enjoy your days off.

Enjoy your adventure, Lio!

Cacoethes 25-02-2025 12:41 PM

Thank you both :)
It's not bad enough to post for support. I'll probably just RV about it

Multiple trains! I do love an adventure

How are you lindsay?

tamobhuuta 25-02-2025 12:46 PM

Sorry things are hard Cacoethes, I hope they improve soon.

Enjoy your trip Elmer!

What are you up to osc?

one_step_closer 25-02-2025 12:52 PM

Make sure you post elsewhere if you do think it would help to talk things through, Beckie. Do you have anything nice planned today?

How are things today, Tamo? Any visitors coming?

Difficult things are piling up on me but today is colouring group. My friend isn't doing well either so I'm worried about how she'll be when we're out.

Cacoethes 25-02-2025 01:37 PM

Thanks both, I'll be ok :)

Just cleaning today! Which i have just finished.
Cleaned, hoovered and mopped upstairs and downstairs.
Now idk what to do until L and S get home
And I can't currently move because I've mopped everywhere XD

I hope you manage to enjoy the group lindsay
And that your friend is ok

not_so_insig 25-02-2025 03:58 PM

Hello all. I am feeling good today. Met a friend for coffee before hence why I just posting now. Took the bus and got pissed off at a woman who let her dog wander about on a long lead and nearly tripped several people up and let her other dog sit on the seat with dirty paws.

one_step_closer 25-02-2025 06:33 PM

Have you managed to occupy yourself, Beckie?

I'm glad you're feeling good today, Dawn.

My friend was ok at colouring but I was very much not and I feel like I've wasted the best thing in my week.

Cacoethes 25-02-2025 06:59 PM

Just about!

You haven't wasted it lindsay
Well done for managing to go

Cacoethes 26-02-2025 09:06 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 26-02-2025 01:35 PM

Afternoon all. I have been wild swimming. Managed 11 minutes in the water as it wasn't as cold as last week.

one_step_closer 26-02-2025 02:44 PM

Hi everyone.

How are you, Beckie? Have you been doing anything fun with your day so far?

Well done, Dawn. What do you find are the benefits of wild swimming?

not_so_insig 26-02-2025 03:12 PM

It helps me with my sleep Lindsay and also I feel good mentally the next day.

Cacoethes 26-02-2025 03:16 PM

Nothing fun unfortunately!
Went to pets at home for fish stuff (that they didn't have) went to homebase (which also didn't have what we need) and then asda. Then came home. I fed Colin Robinson and did my morning things while L is napping.

How are you lindsay?

one_step_closer 26-02-2025 07:01 PM

I'm glad you find it helpful, Dawn.

It's so annoying when shops don't have what you need! I feel like Colin Robinson needs a tie and a cardigan!

I'm still struggling.

tamobhuuta 26-02-2025 07:03 PM

Evening all. I've got L coming soon :) well done everyone for reaching the evening!

Cacoethes 26-02-2025 07:03 PM

It is annoying!
In this case with homebase, they close in 4 days, so the shop is basically empty because everything was 90% off before it gets taken over by B&Q.

I would love to put Colin Robinson in a tie and cardigan! I don't think he'd be too impressed though XD

Sorry to hear that lindsay. Have you spoken to anyone?

Hope you have a nice visit tamo!

one_step_closer 26-02-2025 07:24 PM

Hope you have a nice time with L, Tamo.

If you have computer skillz you can photoshop or whatever thing is used nowadays. I am so not computer literate any more!

I spoke to Duty earlier but it was someone who didn't know me so they weren't helpful.

Cacoethes 26-02-2025 07:29 PM

I'm not really great with computers either tbh!

That's annoying. Can you try again tomorrow?

one_step_closer 26-02-2025 07:32 PM

You could take a photo and print it on paper and then draw on it! I remember before photoshop when people would draw moustaches on magazine photos and black out teeth!

I don't really like reaching out too regularly.

Cacoethes 26-02-2025 08:29 PM

Basically all of our school books were like that XD

I know. It is difficult, but also important

Cacoethes 27-02-2025 08:25 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 27-02-2025 01:21 PM

Afternoon, Beckie. How are things with you today?

Cacoethes 27-02-2025 01:53 PM

Not too bad thanks.
Pretty tired. And got a panic inducing email from the ED team
About to start work

How are you?

one_step_closer 27-02-2025 01:57 PM

I hope work takes your mind off your worries and that it's busy but not too busy and everyone is nice to you.

I'm my usual. I have an appointment with a GP at 2pm about some of my pain so will see how that goes.

Cacoethes 27-02-2025 05:14 PM

Thank you!
It's not been busy at all thankfully!
And people have been mostly nice

I hope it was a productive appointment!

one_step_closer 27-02-2025 06:22 PM

Are you working with people you get on with?

The GP has given me painkillers and referred me to physio.
