Ooh was there anything good in Lidl Beckie?
I've done a second coat on the hallway paint, I'm hoping that's enough and it doesn't need a third but we'll see. I may buy a thicker roller, maybe that's it? I need to drop some Vinted parcels off, wash my hair (it's on day 12, I get a LOT of days out of it though, my mum said earlier that it was fluffy!), and think about what I want to talk about in my session tonight. And pick up a lamp at 4! |
Beth, how is there always so much to do in your life?!
|
Possibly because my whole house needed work, it's an ongoing project (I've been moved in 4 and a half years, one wall is still just chipping plaster!), I work 40 hours a week at one job (not including lunch breaks, so I wouldn't do a 9-5, I'd do a 9-6 with an hour lunch, but start between 7:45-12 depending on my shift, and finish between 4:45-9pm again shift dependant, but always 8 hours + lunch), read a pub quiz two nights a week, and live alone so need to do all the tidying/cleaning/washing/shopping etc. I also don't trust online delivery food shopping as I'm quite specific and will go through everything on the shelf to pick the right one.
And I have ADHD so I'm easily distracted! However the doors are finally done! (I had 9 doors replaced, but they all had to be varnished, which at 2 sides of each door and 2 coats per side, meant I had 36 coats to do on my time off last week. How is your day going OSC? |
*waves* bad pain day so camped out on sofa watching Olympics.
Well-done for all your tasks Beth! Sending hugs to those who are struggling. |
Hey LR,
I hope your pain subsides soon. |
Just reading that is overwhelming, Beth! Well done with everything you manage to do.
My day has been difficult. Hope you can focus on the olympics and get even a tiny bit of distraction from your pain, Jen. |
Do you want to talk about it (or be distracted muchly from it?) - I'll be about for a bit?
|
Thunder storm here!
Sorry to hear of people's woes :( |
Pain is still bad although not as bad as last night which is something. Olympics is distracting but not quite enough.
I have watched rowing and canoe slalom today. Am about half an hour behind on womens gymnastics (currently watching their 4th rotation). Have 2 hockey matches saved to watch at some point and would also like to watch the BMX racing if I get the chance. I am not normally a big sports watcher but I really enjoy it at Olympics. That said apart from gymnastics most of the sports I like to watch during Olympics aren't really televised except at the Olympics. I did watch rowing today but only because we were in some finals. I hope things get easier soon Lindsay. The south west has a thunderstorm warning but no thunderstorms where I am. I am jealous of yours Tamo! |
It's good to have interesting weather!
I'm going to watch the women's gymnastics tomorrow with L. |
Lightning is fun to watch but I just want a thunderstorm so things cool down! My asthma really doesn't get on well with heat and have been more short of breath the last few days.
Enjoy the gymnastics I found it very visually impressive! |
Morning all.
|
Hi Tamo, how are you?
|
Afternoon everyone. I am very tired today didn't get to sleep until sometime after 3:30am due to pain and been awake since 10:30am. Doesn't feel like the sleep I got was good quality either.Pain is a little better this morning than last night but still challenging.
How are you Tamo and Lindsay? |
In my woes, people are worried about me. They might stop my therapy :(
In my sister's woes, we've got police out looking for her. |
But in other, better news, the sun is shining and my washing is drying nicely on the line :)
|
Sorry to hear you're both having a difficult time.
I'm not doing so great either. Everything is a challenge when you don't get good quality sleep. I hope your body will behave a bit better soon, Jen, and you can catch up with proper rest. Why might your therapy be stopped, Tamo? Is anything being offered to you right now if people are worried? I hope your sister is found soon. |
Big hugs if you would like them tamo. Hope that you feel better soon so noone needs to worry. And I really that they find your sister soon.
Sorry to hear things are such a struggle these days Lindsay. Hugs for you too if you would like them. I tried to nap but couldn't my body hasn't really known how to behave properly since February 2021. But it can definitely behave better than this when I get the balance just right! Been watching more Olympics today it's a good distraction. |
What's been going on at the olympics today?
|
The sports I have watched today are: trampolining, rowing, mens synchronised 3m springboard diving and kayak cross time trials. There has been a lot of Athletics on but I am not really an athletics fan. There was horse jumping too.
|
Imagine if you were doing all of those things instead of watching!
|
I don't think I could do one of those things! Let alone all of them! I can't swim and have terrible coordination! I have been in a kayak before but not launched off a ramp down a white water course!!!
Now I am watching BMX Racing. I also cannot ride a bike! |
They got N safely home. I just need to prove I can stay safe over the weekend.
I still haven't watched the female gymnastics final! No spoilers please (though I have my exoectations) |
Glad N is home. Hope you can stay safe, let us know if theres a way we can help with that.
I have deliberately not being saying anything about medals to avoid spoilers. |
Thanks on both counts!
|
Hello all.
Tamobhuuta if I say anything about medals I put it in a hide box so that nobody gets the competition spoilt. Though I mainly watch horsey sports so unlikely to know the results of other sports. I was watching the showjumping today however. |
Good morning.
Thanks insig :) |
Morning everyone
Sorry I've been absent for a while. Been struggling How is everyone? |
Sorry you're having a hard time. Any plans today that might help?
My big sister is here. |
Hi everyone.
Sorry people are struggling. Are you doing anything nice today, Beckie? Hope you enjoy your time with your big sister, Tamo. |
I'm at work today. Just arrived. Start at 1pm. It is MENTAL here! Good day for sales, bad day for stress levels! But apparently we're the number one store for the entire region, which hasn't happened in years. So yay us!
Good day yesterday sales wise. Took over 7k! I will stop boring you with sales figures now XD At least I'll be busy and distracted. Hope you enjoy your visit tamo Are you up to anything today lindsay? |
I think the great sales figures are your doing, Beckie. :-D I hope your shift goes well.
I've done all my main things which were just to go to the chemist and local shop, wash my hair, and clean my kitchen. Want to go somewhere but don't like the long wait for buses at the weekend, it's bad enough during the week. |
Must be :tongue2:
Well dome for doing stuff. Buses are a pain at the best of times |
How is work going today?
|
It was really busy and we had a load of stock to put out! But we did what we could and it went OK.
I was left alone while R was on break, but I smashed it Even worked out a lottery thing I hadn't done or been shown before :-D |
Morning everyone!
|
Morning! How are you?
|

I'm tired. At work. Start at 10am, so got myself a coffee and sitting outside. Bit chilly today! How are you? Any plans for today? |
Morning Both!
Hope your shift goes well Beckie! I woke up at 8:30am after not getting to sleep.until sometimes after 2am. So am super tired watching hockey at the moment but may try and nap later. |
I hope you enjoy work Cacoethes.
Sorry you didn't sleep well lr. Are you enjoying the hockey? |
I am enjoying hockey thanks Tamo. Just having a second coffee and if that doesn't help going for a lie down!
Not got much on today apart from a video call with my parents this afternoon. How is your day going? Feeling any better than yesterday? |
I'm not sure. I stayed safe for a given value of safe so... but none of that here! I'm going shopping with L this afternoon.
|
Feel free to post in serious if you do want to chat about it. Hope shopping is a nice distraction :) Going for a browse or for something in particular?
|
I need paint from hobbycraft but going to have a browse in tk maxx too. I love a tk maxx bargain.
|
Ooh hoobycraft is a fun shop! I love browsing in there but don't go often as I get tempted to buy ALL the craft supplies!!!
Haven't been in tkmaxx for a while we don't have one near me. I think I am going to try and nap when the hockey match finishes |
I hope the nap helps.
|
Hi everyone.
Hope work goes well, Beckie, and you continue to be a superhero. Hope you can nap and it helps, Jen. Enjoy your shopping, Tamo. I hope you get something nice for yourself. |
Just popping on during my break!
Been busy but fine so far! Hope everyone is doing ok today |
I napped managing about an hour and a half. Feel a bit less tired now.
Hey Lindsay nice to see you :) Busy shift does at least stop you being bored Beckie! |
Hi guys. I had a good time shopping. Got some stuff from hobbycraft and from tk maxx :) spent ages browsing in tk maxx, looked at just about everything!
