Cacoethes 11-04-2024 04:34 PM

Got no choice really XD

one_step_closer 11-04-2024 05:45 PM

Would you like me to rob a bank for you?

Cacoethes 11-04-2024 05:48 PM

Robbing a bank seems like a lot of effort

one_step_closer 11-04-2024 05:49 PM

Yeah it would be. I'll have to think of something else.

What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Cacoethes 11-04-2024 06:01 PM

Going over to L's later.
How about you?

one_step_closer 11-04-2024 06:06 PM

Are you going to be watching another film from your list?

I'm just going to watch some TV.

Cacoethes 11-04-2024 06:29 PM

We are!

Watching anything in particular?

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 07:49 AM

Morning everyone!
Won't be around much today. Going out driving and then work this evening

tamobhuuta 12-04-2024 09:49 AM

Morning all.

I hope you have a good day Cacoethes.

one_step_closer 12-04-2024 12:23 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope you have a good day, Beckie.

What are you doing today, Tamo?

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 02:07 PM

Thanks guys!
I'm back from driving. Went to Halfords for new windscreen wipers, asda, aldi, one town and got a hot chocolate, then another town for a bit of parallel parking and got a burrito at the services.
All was good apart from an Audi driver honking at me because I moved literally about half a second after he would have liked me to on a roundabout. I was literally moving as he honked at me. Prick. Didn't bother me. L was furious though XD
Got back, cleaned out boys, showered and put meds in dossette box. Got work later. Booooo

How are your days going?

tamobhuuta 12-04-2024 02:20 PM

I've been to Mass and Confession. Later I will do some exercise. What about you osc?

Sounds like fun overall Cacoethes!

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 02:36 PM

Sounds like a decent day tamo!

It has been!

one_step_closer 12-04-2024 03:43 PM

Are you not a road rager, Beckie? You might develop road rage once you pass!

Are you still doing your dance exercise dvd, Tamo?

I went to the chemist, put a washing on, hoovered, and went on the bus to get cat litter. Bumped into too many people I was desperate to get home!

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 03:49 PM

I don't rage, I get more sarcastic than ragey!
If someone pulls out in front of me I'm more likely to just say something like 'what a d*ckhead' or 'yeah, that's a great idea, pull out in front of the learner'
L is usually the same, but she gets ragey when I'm driving. Not at me, like a protective type rage when other people are idiots!

Sounds like a successful day lindsay!
Too many people can be stressful!

one_step_closer 12-04-2024 03:51 PM

Aww protective rage, how cute!

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 04:05 PM

It is quite sweet!

tamobhuuta 12-04-2024 05:47 PM

Yeah, still doing the dvd osc. There are some moves I can't get the hang of even now. And if my leg spasms I have to pause to find my feet again!

one_step_closer 12-04-2024 06:02 PM

I am absolutely awful and dance moves and coordination.

Accidentally Abstract 12-04-2024 10:30 PM

Evening everyone. Here I am late to the party as usual. :P
Protective rage is indeed kinda cute Beckie.

I've learnt recently that I'm very bad at doing things with one arm and the opposite leg. It's so random, never realised I wasn't good at that!

I'm glad the week is over, but I've got quite a full on weekend ahead. Gonna need a weekend to get over it but alas it'll be back to work on Monday! Hopefully what I've got on will be good though.

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 10:40 PM

Coordination usually just takes time and practice!
I was the same when I started glow beatz. I haven't been in ages, but you get the hang of it.

I hope you enjoy your weekend Luce!

Work was absolute hell! About as busy as the food festival (which was awful) but we just weren't prepared for it! Total insanity. And I stayed an extra hour because I couldn't leave them like that

Accidentally Abstract 12-04-2024 11:02 PM

Hoping I get the hang of which bits of my body are where, lmao.

Thanks Beckie! I'm seeing my sister tomorrow to help her baby prep and then out for dinner which I'm nervous about, then meeting a friend for coffee and picking some leggings I ordered up on Sunday. So busy but hopefully nice bits.

Oh god, poor you Beckie! I bet it's a result of the warmer weather and a bit of sun - my flatmate decided to go out to a pub garden this evening and I bet a lot of others will have too. Glad it's over now though! Well done for getting through it - hopefully you sleep well after all that!

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 11:13 PM

I'm sure you will!

That is a rather full on weekend!
Hopefully you will end up enjoying some nice things

It was honestly the worst shift I've done in the 2½ years I've worked there! There was no room ANYWHERE in the glasswash for glasses. So for ages we couldn't even take glasses out of the washers because the trays were all full of other glasses! So the dirty glasses were just piling up everywhere!

Yes, it will be the warmer weather. First sign of warmth and the whole of the UK decide to head off to the pub XD
Thank you! I need to not speak to anyone for about 3 days but alas, I have work again tomorrow. Meant to be the same kind of weather too :crying:

Accidentally Abstract 12-04-2024 11:33 PM

Bloody hell that sounds intense! I'm so sorry but well done you for surviving it! Yup you're not wrong - bit of sun usually equals pub time. I can't really do pubs any more with health stuff so this summer is gonna be a bit ****. Oh no, poor you being back there again tomorrow! Good luck!!

Cacoethes 12-04-2024 11:38 PM

And there was a young girl just joined and it was her first shift! Bless her! I was extra nice to her to not only make her feel welcome, but to make sure she knows that it's not always like this and everyone isn't usually this stressed! She did well.
I remember my first shift being on a peak summer food festival, so I know what it's like.

I'm sure you can find other fun summery things to do! Pub culture is a huge thing in the UK though tbh.

Thank you :)

Accidentally Abstract 13-04-2024 12:28 AM

Blimey what a first shift! At least it'll be relatively plain sailing from there on in. Good of you to be extra nice of her, that must have been quite the introduction! Yeah I'll have to find other things but like.. I'll miss it. :(

Anyway I'm heading to bed, hope you get some good rest after all that! Night hon.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 07:27 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 13-04-2024 09:10 AM

Morning people. How are you Cacoethes?

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 09:23 AM

I'm ok thanks
Dreading work today though!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 13-04-2024 09:34 AM

Hopefully work will be fun! I've got a funny tummy so can't go to Mass :(

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 10:04 AM

If it's anything like yesterday, it won't be!
And it could well be. Being a Saturday and the weather is meant to be good.

Aww that's a shame :(
What are you going to do instead?

tamobhuuta 13-04-2024 10:15 AM

I'm not sure. Probably fritter it away.

It's not as nice here as yesterday. I can imagine it must have been hell!

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 10:19 AM

Chill days are good sometimes

It was! Meant to get up to 18° today.

tamobhuuta 13-04-2024 11:21 AM

Here too. Big sister is coming round :) we may sit in the garden!

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 11:24 AM

Thaf would be nice!
I went to aldi this morning around 8am and it was already warm

one_step_closer 13-04-2024 12:17 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope your shift at least isn't as bad as yesterday, Beckie. You can get through it though.

I hope you feel better soon, Tamo.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 12:26 PM

Thanks lindsay
Have to get through it regardless!

How are you?

one_step_closer 13-04-2024 12:28 PM

I'll be thinking of you. What time do you start?

I'm still struggling.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 12:30 PM

Thank you. I start at 4

Sorry to hear that
Hope you can keep busy today

not_so_insig 13-04-2024 12:35 PM

Oooh Beckie the pub may be busy if it's showing the Grand National as it starts at 4.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 12:39 PM

The pub will be busy anyway.
Not sure if we're showing the grand national but no doubt someone will ask us to put it on, we've been asked to put races on before.

not_so_insig 13-04-2024 12:48 PM

Also afternoon all.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 12:51 PM

Afternoon

not_so_insig 13-04-2024 01:05 PM

I have had some interesting mail today. 3 postcards, 3 greetings cards and a book. Much prefer getting just a few postcards.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 01:53 PM

Better than my mail.
I got a letter from the DVLA saying they've received information from a 'third party' about my fitness to drive

not_so_insig 13-04-2024 01:57 PM

Oh dear Beckie just when you're so near your test too.

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 02:06 PM

I know! I'm totally freaking out
I have 14 days to return the form, so I will be discussing it with my psych before returning the forms.
She's always been very encouraging about my driving and even wished me luck and said I should drive around Europe in the summer!

not_so_insig 13-04-2024 02:16 PM

Didn't someone report you before? Benefits or something?

Cacoethes 13-04-2024 02:30 PM

No, that was just a compliance check because I got a backpayment of a lot and I stopped my UC claim because it was over the threshold. But I had a manic episode and as a result, the money went very quickly and had to claim UC again and they wanted to know why.
As soon as I said 'manic episode' she totally got it and didn't need to discuss it further.

one_step_closer 13-04-2024 04:05 PM

I really hope you can get everything sorted out quickly, Beckie.
