Glad your evri delivery arrived dawn.
Maybe they're having trouble with their tracking because I had something similar recently where it hadn't said out for delivery but had just been delivered!

That's so disappointing lindsay :(

tamobhuuta 09-07-2024 06:52 PM

That's good you'll get to cook it insig.

I'm ok thanks osc. Going to have an early night because I'm meeting a priest for a chat and Confession tomorrow morning. How are you?

tamobhuuta 10-07-2024 08:21 AM

Morning guys.

Auror. 10-07-2024 08:59 AM

hey..

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 09:48 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 10-07-2024 10:33 AM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 10-07-2024 11:30 AM

How are we all?

not_so_insig 10-07-2024 12:31 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta. Having a lazy day. Apart from putting the bin out and washing my hair I have no plans.

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 01:39 PM

I'm ok thanks.
Been rushing about a bit this morning and getting various paperwork bits done and changing address on a million and one things!

How're you?

one_step_closer 10-07-2024 02:13 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope your days are going well.

All the places you need to inform of an address change when you move is never-ending!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 03:12 PM

Hi lindsay!

It is! So far I have done most of them! Just doing the phone call ones now. So DVLA, UC and PIP. Everything else I've done online. Yay Internet!!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 10-07-2024 03:49 PM

Everyone's busy busy! I've been to therapy, that's me for the day.

not_so_insig 10-07-2024 04:30 PM

I haven't done much today just some laundry, planning my meals for the rest of the week on my meal planner, and catching up with classic Coronation Street. I still have to put my recycling box out plus it's ordinary bin week this week so have to put that out too. Plus write some postcards.

one_step_closer 10-07-2024 04:35 PM

Online forms are much better than phone calls!

Hope therapy went ok, Tamo.

How many postcards do you have to write, Dawn?

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 04:48 PM

Hope therapy was helpful tamo

I think I've done everything!

one_step_closer 10-07-2024 04:55 PM

Well done, Beckie. I am in awe of you for all the adulting you're doing that I would likely freak out about and put off!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 04:57 PM

Yeah, except I've adulted too much too soon and now in financial **** :crazy:

one_step_closer 10-07-2024 06:25 PM

Oh no. Adulting is tricky. How long until you get some monies?

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 06:36 PM

Next Friday. But after paying just my rent, I will have £17 left. And still need to pay all other bills, including car payment and petrol. My car tax is due on 1st August. I can't get to my new job without a car. And other less important but still important bills.
So yes. Slight meltdown mode.

Ahimsa 10-07-2024 06:38 PM

evening all

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 06:57 PM

Hey beth! How are you?

Ahimsa 10-07-2024 07:01 PM

Pass (see RV) but welcoming distraction!

How is everyone?

Is L able to support with finances? Just until your new job (congrats!) wage starts?

Hey OSC, how're you?

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 07:14 PM

Sending much love beth <3
Here to chat if you need to

She already is and has already been covering basically everything. She doesn't mind, but I feel so useless! And idk what the UC situation is now we've merged our claim. We won't know how much we'll get for a couple of weeks. And I still have to pay £720 in rent for this month and next month.
Once I'm done paying rent in my old house and I've started my new job, things should settle. It's just getting there.
Thanks for the congrats BTW!!

Ahimsa 10-07-2024 07:32 PM

In positive news, we've just found out we can put glass into the recycling bins from August!

It's been driving to the recycling place 20 minutes away for the past 10 (at least) years to recycle a mayo jar!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 07:48 PM

Well that is positive!

And good on you for bothering. A lot of people wouldn't!

They refuse to take the bins if they hear glass in them at the moment!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 08:24 PM

Well that's good I suppose!
If it can be recycled, it should be!

not_so_insig 10-07-2024 08:27 PM

I wrote 12 postcards in the end Lindsay. Most are going within Europe so I am hoping that they arrive soon. One is going to Brazil! I can't send any more atm until they arrive or they expire (postcards expire once they have been travelling for more than 60 days). I can send a maximum of 14 cards at once.

Ahimsa 10-07-2024 08:43 PM

That's interesting Insig, I didn't know you there were limits on sending?

nonperson 10-07-2024 08:47 PM

Engerlaaand, Engerlaaand, Engerrrlaannnd

=P

tamobhuuta 10-07-2024 08:57 PM

Well done everyone for anything achieved!

I mean, how do they know?!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 09:10 PM

Is the footie on, per chance, NP? :tongue2:

nonperson 10-07-2024 09:21 PM

It is but I am watching it on my own tonight!

Sorry to just butt in and not read what everyone else has been saying =x

nonperson 10-07-2024 09:29 PM

Also I think I might be the only person watching it who gave themselves a quick pedicure during half time =P

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 09:34 PM

Are you enjoying the game np?!
I'm not a football fan but GO SPORTS!!!
No worries!

You could be right! But self care ftw!

nonperson 10-07-2024 09:40 PM

The first half was quite exciting. Better than England have been previously. I think I'm enjoying it more watching it on my own than with the guy though (I won't tell him that!)

Yes self care is important!

Not sure if I'm correctly up to speed but are you working at Pets At Home now?!

Cacoethes 10-07-2024 09:55 PM

Well that's good! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

It is!

Nope! I got an interview for pets at home, but I have managed to get a job at WH Smith in a motorway services! Hopefully start asap

nonperson 10-07-2024 10:15 PM

We're through to the final!

Aw that's great but I was excited for all the super cute dogs you'd get to meet at Pets at Home!

Yes it will only allow you to request addresses if you have a slot free. If you don't have a slot free then you can't send any more. Once a card gets registered or it expires then you get a new slot. I only have 14 slots and they're all currently taken hence why I can't send any more. For every 50 cards registered you get an additional slot up to a maximum of 100 slots.

There's a forum which people arrange private swaps which aren't counted towards the slots limits. I only do them very rarely due to the cost of stamps and even then it's mostly within the UK.

I'm so confused! Slots from who?

I'm also in the UK and have never heard of this process. Do you not just go to the post office and post whatever? I mean how would they (and who are they?!) know if you took 20 to different post offices?

Cacoethes 11-07-2024 12:33 AM

Tbh pets at home would be awesome! But Wh Smith pays more. And I need money more than cute dogs right now!

Wooo go England!

Cacoethes 11-07-2024 07:43 AM

Morning peeps

Auror. 11-07-2024 07:53 AM

not morning but hi

Cacoethes 11-07-2024 08:02 AM

Heya. How're you?

Auror. 11-07-2024 08:07 AM

dog child is v sleepy she just woke up to reposition from a big dream

just glad she can rest

do you have anything planned for today?

Cacoethes 11-07-2024 08:39 AM

Aww bless her. I love seeing them have big dreams.

I have a few bits to do. Need to return something to screwfix, go to the gym, clean the boys out, sort out some doctor things, chase up paperwork things for my new job and sort car insurance hopefully when my nanny sends me some money hopefully this afternoon. I hope it'll be enough because car insurance quotes can change by the hour and what it was yesterday may not be what it is today.

How about you?

Auror. 11-07-2024 08:41 AM

oh gosh you have a busy day!

well. when its finally tomorrow here we have therapy and riding lesson. nowhere near as busy as you.

dog child is having another dream because she is making noises and moving!

Cacoethes 11-07-2024 09:35 AM

I hope therapy is helpful for you. And hope you enjoy your riding lesson!

I wonder what dogs dream about!
