I have a dilemma.
I found a dress I REALLY want but it's nearly £60 which I would usually NEVER spend on clothing! Because that's ridiculous.
But my nanny gave me £60 for Christmas. So would it be reasonable to buy it with my Christmas money or should I spend it on sensible things like bills and stuff?

nonperson 31-12-2020 04:31 PM

Hm, that is a tricky one.

Gift money shouldn't be spent on bills... so that means you should buy something nice with it (and you deserve nice stuff, of course).

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:41 PM

Thanks! That is true
I don't get much money to spend on myself usually so it would be nice to treat myself

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 04:53 PM

You definitely deserve a treat.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:59 PM

Thanks lindsay :)

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 05:06 PM

What's the dress like?

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 05:12 PM

I posted a pic on my Facebook in the post asking the same question (I needed lots of opinions!)
I bough the dress :-D

nonperson 31-12-2020 05:19 PM

Yay =D

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 05:23 PM

I hope it doesn't take too long to arrive!
But I guess it will be a while because of new years.

nonperson 31-12-2020 05:28 PM

I dunno, it could maybe ship on Saturday? If not Monday and that's not long.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 05:31 PM

True! The site said it's standard shipping

nonperson 31-12-2020 05:35 PM

Probably end of next week then hopefully! =)

I need to go back out into the cold and dark... ='(

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 05:40 PM

Hope so!

Oh no! :( Do you have to go out for long?

nonperson 31-12-2020 05:44 PM

No, should be done fairly quickly but still. It's always really creepy being at work on my own in the dark as well.

Going to have some motivational biscuits first. >.>

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 05:53 PM

Does sound very creepy!

Good plan!

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 07:03 PM

Motivational biscuits, you could have a business opportunity there NP!

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 07:21 PM

Motivational quotes on biscuits!

nonperson 31-12-2020 07:22 PM

I think the cleaners were there at the same time. They were setting off security lights while I hid in the shadows.

You could be right there, Lindsay! Could make a fortune with some clever advertising. =P

nonperson 31-12-2020 07:23 PM

Ooooooooh Beckie. =o

I was thinking more along the lines of loads of sugar but quotes work better. XD

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 07:57 PM

Could have loads of sugar AND quotes!

nonperson 31-12-2020 08:00 PM

This is like the improved version of fortune cookies.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 08:42 PM

Yes!!!!

The day staff came up with a plan to surprise the night staff with party poppers 5 minutes into handover. We’ve just pulled it off! It was hilarious

tamobhuuta 31-12-2020 08:49 PM

That's brilliant!

nonperson 31-12-2020 08:55 PM

Haha, amazing =P

They roped you all in too?

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 09:04 PM

Yep!
Most of the ward was in on it!

nonperson 31-12-2020 09:21 PM

Meanies. =)

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 09:55 PM

It was so funny!
The night staff found it funny too! Once they realised what was going on :p

nonperson 31-12-2020 10:10 PM

Yeah that moment of confusion is always fun. >.>

Good job you didn't accidentally get one of those batches of party poppers that don't pop.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 10:12 PM

Haha! It was :p

Yeah that wouldn't have been as fun!

nonperson 31-12-2020 10:14 PM

Probably would have been a good giggle, although the joke would have been on you instead!

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 10:43 PM

Yep! Not as fun! :p

I'm going to bed now. Happy new year and all that rubbish! :)

nonperson 01-01-2021 12:57 AM

Happy new year rubbish to you too =)

I'm about to fall asleep so will see midnight then zonk out.

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 11:48 AM

Happy new year everyone x

one_step_closer 01-01-2021 12:00 PM

Happy New Year Tamo, and everyone else. I hope this year brings you all good things.

Are you doing anything special today Tamo?

nonperson 01-01-2021 12:31 PM

No more 2020, let's all pretend it never happened and move on to better things.

How's everyone?

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 12:55 PM

No, nothing special, what about you?
Hi np how are you?

nonperson 01-01-2021 01:12 PM

Cold and tired, the usual!

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:12 PM

Hey guys

nonperson 01-01-2021 01:14 PM

Howdy Beckie

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:22 PM

Heelo!!

I did some more 3am shopping it seems. Snacks this time. I ordered jelly babies, peanut butter cups and fudge. Must have been hungry at the time!

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 01:31 PM

I have such a sweet tooth, I would probably do the same.

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:33 PM

At least it's not completely useless stuff!

nonperson 01-01-2021 01:37 PM

Mmm fudge.

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:40 PM

Indeed! It's all arriving on Monday which is way too far away

nonperson 01-01-2021 01:43 PM

Something to look forward to at least!

That's already better than my Monday is going to be =P

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:49 PM

Yep!

Haha! What have you got lined up for Monday? Work?

nonperson 01-01-2021 01:52 PM

Yes, work... without fudge and peanut butter cups! Although I do have jelly babies. And there is still leftover Christmas chocolate there.

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 01:52 PM

Well that's something!

not_so_insig 01-01-2021 02:16 PM

Afternoon all.

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 02:48 PM

Hey dawn
