Yep!
Very tasty!

Sorry to hear that lindsay. I hope your day improves!

Not much!
Doing some washing, watching doctor who, trying to figure out what deliveries are coming when!
Having payday and black Friday and singles day fall on the same day is not good for the old bank balance!

Thanks. I'll really need to go to Asda!

I got an email from Shein about singles day but I've never even heard of singles day. Is it a new thing? I don't think I've bought anything in any of the deal days. Have you got lots more deliveries to come? Washing is a good thing to get done. I've changed my bedding and done a washing. Are you still enjoying Doctor Who? It's still nothing I'm thinking of watching!

I'd never heard of singles day either!
So it's most likely either new or something else we've randomly adopted from the US or another country!
Yep quite a few more deliveries to come! :ermm:
From schuh, boohoo, kavee, very, under armour and the ncfc shop....
I think that's everything! Had literally 6 big boxes from amazon yesterday!

Well done! I need to change my bedding too actually!
Yep still enjoying it!

I was just about to ask what on earth singles day is too... Valentine's Day for lonely folks?

I've just had a Google and apparently it is basically a counter to valentine's day and originated in china!
Because the date is 11/11
So all singles!

I'm considering getting a dominoes tonight
According to the app, i haven't had one in over 5 months!

Oh that makes sense. Are there special valentine's Day discounts though? Or are these ones just pity discounts for single people? =/

I was looking at Papa John's pizzas yesterday. Yum.

I'm not sure! I don't think I've ever been in a relationship long enough to celebrate valentines day! Lol!
I'll take a pity discount though!

We're getting a papa johns here soon!
Is a bit much as we already have dominos plus several more independent pizza places! And we are a very small town!
I do prefer papa johns to domino's though!

I first had Papa John's in America and it was amazing. The UK version wasn't quite as good when I had it... but I wouldn't say no to it or a Domino's.

Ah that's a shame!

I occasionally like to watch Americans and Brits argue on Quora about whose food is better.
Read one this morning about 'american cheese'
As in, the plastic cheese.

I'm doing well at behaving myself :)

Great stuff, Tamo. It's not behaving yourself though it's looking after yourself. Keep it up! I'm proud of you and hope you are proud too.

I've ordered another sausage supper, already had one this week. I'm struggling to cook now because I suck at using the air fryer and I don't want to use the oven because of all the energy it takes and I don't have microwave stuff in the house and I'm sick of salad. It was better when I didn't have an air fryer and just used the oven and microwave.

In what way do you suck at using the air fryer?
Does the oven really take that much energy?
I would have thought that running the oven would be cheaper than ordering in!
But anyway! A sausage supper sounds nice!
I had my domino's!

Hello all.

Morning everyone!
I had a weird dream. Jenna was in it

Afternoon all. I slept really soundly as I didnt hear the postman putting my new but secondhand dvd through my letterbox. I just gotta test it now before leaving feedback on ebay.

How was the dvd?

How are you Cacoethes?

Hey everyone.

I always forget to check second hand dvds. It's worse when it's a box set you haven't seen then I don't do that because I'll spoil it but have sometimes had problems with the dvds later on.

I hope Jenna was behaving in your dream, Beckie. I don't want her causing havoc in your dream world.

How are you Beckie and Tamo?

Tamobhuuta I havent checked the dvd.

Lindsay I don't tend to watch the entire dvd just an extra or if it's a TV series the first ten minutes of the first episode. If there's more than 1 disc then I play them all. I think I should be ok with this dvd as the seller had 100% positive feedback so I doubt that he would sell dodgy dvds unlike places like Music magpie. But I am making sure just in case.

Ok have tested the dvd by playing the first ten minutes plus the trailer. It's a film so I doubt that I can sit here for 90 minutes. Plus I have seen it many years ago and it made me cry so I am not in the mood for tears.

Did it work?

I had a meeting with the ward manager that made me cry.

Oh I am sorry that you are crying tamobhuuta. Yes the dvd worked ok so I have left positive feedback.

Hey guys!

How are you now, Tamo? I hope you're ok.

I'm glad the dvd worked, Dawn.

Hi Beckie, were you working today?

Yep i was!
Was quite busy for a Monday!

Have you been up to much today?

I'm feeling better now thank you.

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie.
How are you??

I've just made a cup of cocoa. It's obviously that sort of day. Storm is going to hit us tomorrow (we're kindly taking over your used one!!) and last almost 3 days. Bummer!!! No bike riding for me. Gotta take the bus. Outrageous!!! XD

Hey zurg!
I'm ok thanks!

Oh nooo! Sounds grim!
It's very grey and drizzly here today

Heavy rain keeps coming and going here. I don't have any cocoa :(

Rain has just stopped! But i imagine it will be back!

It's not raining here. In fact it's sunny.

I am getting ready to go to the city centre. I have some stuff I want to drop off at the charity shop and also I have something to post to Lorraine. Been promising it for 6 months lol.

Sunny here now!
How random

I am home. I went to the charity shop, the post office, the tourist information centre and caffe nero. Busy day!

I'm sorry you lack cocoa, Tamo :(
Does your family take wishes on what to bring along when they visit you?? A nice cup of cocoa seems a rather minor and easily granted wish :) everyone should be able to have a cocoa at this time of year!!!

You've been busy, Dawn!!! Time to relax now, hopefully :)

Hope you're somewhere dry and warm, Beckie :)

I did laundry and tried to relax with a bit of gaming after, but Findus would have none of it and continued to bite and scratch my comfy chair until i turned off the laptop >:(
This is why we can't have nice things!!!!

Hi everyone. I have read but can't get my brain to sort things out to reply to you all so I'll just say I hope you're having a good evening. I've asked this before, are you at a different time Kat?

Dry and warm now!
Been a bit all over the place today lol!
Going out again in a bit! Gotta wolf down some dinner first though
Running a bit late because i literally spent 20 minutes chatting about random stuff to pharmacy lady who i get on really well with! She went to see evenescence! So jealous!

Lindsay i think kat will be an hour ahead. Not 100% on that but I've been to a lot of other European countries and they are usually an hour ahead!

Zurg, L brought me cocoa :)

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie.

How are you? :)

Hi guys, how are you?

The med students just tried to do a blood test but gave up really easily!

Hellooo!

Lol med students tend to suck at doing bloods!
And doctors in general tbh.

How are you?

I'm ok thanks!

You?

I am also ok. Trying to stay occupied so I don't try to abscond.

Good plan! (Staying occupied, not absconding!)

I'm just here to pick up the guinea pigs!
Though i am early and the lady isn't in. She's just on her way home!

How many guinea pigs are you getting?

Guinea Pig pick up day party!

I got 2 tamo!
You have to get them at least in pairs because they get lonely and depressed otherwise!
I'm home and they are getting settled! One is in the hay house and one is under a pile of hay! I can hear munching! Lol

Very cute. Now you have 2 more friends.
