The 'I need a distraction' thread.
 

As you can see I am making a million threads because I'm desperately trying to distract myself.

I thought it would be good to have a thread where members can come and distract each other with mindless conversation.

p.s: Sorry about all the threads!

I've kind of hijacked 2 of your threads already and as you may have noticed, I am excellent at mindless conversation!
And I have no life so I'm basically always here :p

Hello

Hello!

What is everyone up to? I'm trying to heat myself up. It's freezing here.

It is rather cold! I have the heating on now which is helping.
I also got an electric blanket recently and it is AMAZING!

It's definitely time for heating on. Brrrrrr.

I'm also snuggled under my spongebob fleece blanket!

The time change has really thrown me off!
It feels much later than it is!

That's the dark nights that do that.

Yep!
Going to take a while to get used to it I think!

Random. I was looking at prams online and some of them on there are up to £1500!!!
Who has the money to spend that on a pram! That's like 2 months of my rent!

That is way too much. Are they gold plated or something?

They should be for that much!

Why is baby stuff in general so expensive?

I have no idea!

It's ridiculous. €10 for one teeny tiny babygrow!

Yep! its weird because they only have very basic needs usually. And they don't need LOADS of clothes.
But I guess you use about a million nappies a day and you do need quite a few baby grows because of the amount of **** that gets on them so you're also doing a ridiculous amount of washing. Some people need formula.
It all adds up I suppose! !
But there is NO reason for getting a pram that costs £1500!!

No reason at all. It's ridiculous.

I guess that's how the other half live!

Ah yes. The other half. With their oodles of money for expensive prams!

I got a new bag the other week. Would have cost £60 if I hadn't had vouchers for £50 of it.
My psychologist asked how much it was and I said £60. She said 'oh that's a good price!'
Must be nice to be able to get a £60 bag without a second thought!

Me and Lana were thinking about buying the london eye the other day. Only 70 million!

*Jaw drops* It must be some bag!!

I need new shoes and can't afford the £35 for them!!

It is a very nice bag! I've wanted one for ages and finally got enough amazon vouchers to buy it for my birthday!

I usually get really cheap ones like £6 but they are destroyed within a couple of weeks! so I decided to splash out on some converse which were reduced to £35 which I hope will last a while!

Why did no one warn me how expensive being an adult is?!

I know, it's so expensive. I have other shoes but I'm very particular about what I'll wear and these shoes happen to be the same style I've been wearing for about 10 years now.

What sort of bag is it?

I know what you mean. Once you find a good shoe you want to stick with it!

It's a brand called desigual. They do really cool brightly coloured patterns and stuff!

Oh that sounds cool! Picturessss.

Yes. I'm definitely a creature of habit. ;)

This is the bag. Photo doesn't do it justice though!

Well, change is scary!! :p

Wow. That is a very nice bag!!

Change is very scary. :(

I love it! :-D

It is indeed! Check around online. my converse were originally £55 but were reduced to £35 on this one website.

I have. The only place I've found them is amazon and they're just plain black rather than with a design and are cheaper than they would be in say Schuh or somewhere else.

I love schuh but it's sooo expensive!
I think I got my converse from office.
Amazon is generally good for things like this.

Yeah. I've spent a lot of money in schuh over the years! Yeah they don't seem to make my shoes any more so I have to get the closest to. Amazon is good indeed.

Same! They have so many shoes which I NEED!! ;P
they don't make them anymore? That really sucks :(

Oh so many shoes I, too, need!

Yeah it does suck. Nvm. I can get something similar so it's all good.

You never know, you may end up finding something better!

I doubt it. It's the same brand, same style just no design!

Ah ok!!


There are too many fireworks going in around here for my liking!

None going off here but Guy Fawkes is not a thing in Ireland!

You guys are lucky!!
I think they have stopped... god it's going to be worse tomorrow!

I actually quite like fireworks. I used to love bonfire night.

It never occurred to me you don't have Bonfire Night over there! I'm going to the local park tomorrow to see them, I like fireworks

Ah I got skull converse reduced down to £15 from £65 once on one of their random shop store day sales!

I used to like fireworks and bonfire night. Loved them actually!
But I've grown old and now I'm cranky about the sudden loud noises. They still look pretty but I can't even see them.

That's lame. :( I heard them a lot over Halloween but couldn't see them.

This!

Also this thread has made me want some more converse!

More converse is always a good idea!

Well it's bonfire night tonight!
Not that it makes much difference because no doubt the fireworks will be going off for the next few weeks.
*sigh*

I got Wonder woman converse for £3 today!

How?!?!? Where?!!? Whaaat!!!

:shocked:
Wow! I could do with some more converses although i have about 6 pairs already

Primark! They were the last pair, I was so happy!

Oh wow, what a bargain Luna!

What converse shall I get? I currently have purple ones and navy HP ones.

Get some burgundy ones. I might get them next
