I'm okay, I've just got back from the pub lunch with some friends I've not seen for almost 2 years.

Gonna go for a walk about 3 I think.

How're you?

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 02:25 PM

How was the lunch, was it good to see your friends?

Ahimsa 06-10-2024 02:28 PM

it was okay? We've grown apart a lot and they've all got really good things going on in their lives.

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 02:30 PM

I've got some friends like that. I think it's ok to feel sad (if that's the right word?) but we are worthwhile people too :)

Ahimsa 06-10-2024 02:34 PM

It was more, not only don't I have that - but we aren't close enough for me to tell them the stuff that's going on with me?

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 02:40 PM

That's a shame.

I have family, online friends and spiritual friends who all get different bits of my life. That sounds like bragging! What I mean is, no one knows everything.

Cacoethes 06-10-2024 04:29 PM

Tamo is right, we are worthwhile people also!
But I get the feeling

one_step_closer 06-10-2024 06:06 PM

Totally hear you, Beth.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Ahimsa 06-10-2024 06:15 PM

Oh absolutely, and its not to discredit the things I have done, but when 3 people are talking about weddings/holidays/promotions, for the 4th to go "I've got an ADHD diagnosis and a court date for my assault, and almost got made redundant" it brings the mood down?

And also we worked together 6 years ago, we see each other once every few years, its not like I want to share these things with people I'm not super close with?

I got out for a walk after the lunch thing which helped!

I'm just chilling now with a cup or tea and listening to the rain - until the quiz tonight, what about you OSC?

one_step_closer 06-10-2024 06:21 PM

Well done for getting through the meet up. I'm glad the walk afterwards helped. Having a cup of tea and listening to the rain sounds perfect, except for the tea part in my opinion! When do you need to leave for the quiz? I'm doing some things online then just watching TV as usual.

Ahimsa 06-10-2024 06:31 PM

Not til about 8:15, so a while :)

What are you going to watch?

one_step_closer 06-10-2024 06:47 PM

Plenty of time to relax then if that's what you want to do.

I don't know what I'll be watching. I pick one thing from each catch up player until it's time for me to go to bed. I have a lot of programmes on the go, mostly true crime.

not_so_insig 06-10-2024 07:31 PM

Hello all.

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 07:32 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

Ahimsa 06-10-2024 07:33 PM

Hi Insig, Tamo *waves*

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 07:34 PM

*waves sleepily* I just want it to be bed time.

not_so_insig 06-10-2024 07:34 PM

I am ok tamobhuuta. Been out today.

tamobhuuta 06-10-2024 08:06 PM

Anything fun insig?

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 07:26 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 09:36 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 09:41 AM

Morning!
Slightly annoyed because the massage I had booked was cancelled. But can't be helped, the lady was ill so I understand. It was only annoying because I was already in town. But hadn't got the train yet so that's something! And I had time to rush and get the house keys from L's work and get butter before the bus. But at least I got out for a bit, rather than staying in the house all day. And I got a hot chocolate!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 09:46 AM

Hot chocolate win! Sorry your massage got cancelled.

I am ok. Got my period yesterday but it's ok, my big sis gave me a BIG bar of galaxy for my birthday on Friday and so far I'm not in a lot of pain :)

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 09:53 AM

Thanks! Have rebooked for Thursday so fingers crossed. The lady did feel bad, but tis the season for colds and chest infections! And she did say she wouldn't feel comfortable anyway in the early stages of healing for me, which is sensible.

Periods suck, but yay for chocolate! Definitely needed!

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 10:05 AM

No, you really don't want an infection. I'm glad you've rebooked.

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 10:14 AM

I do not!
Also managed to pop into the pharmacy, but they don't have my prescription yet. So had to call the drs again :eyeroll:
But they're gonna sort it today

Do you have any plans for today?

not_so_insig 07-10-2024 10:59 AM

Morning all. I am going wild swimming today. :-D . I have my new hat on.

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 11:01 AM

Have fun!

not_so_insig 07-10-2024 11:06 AM

Thanks Beckie

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 11:53 AM

I am ridiculously bored XD

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 12:24 PM

I hope you enjoy your swim insig.

And I hope your meds get sorted in a timely manner Cacoethes!

I just saw my dad :) we had tea and finished the birthday cake, even though morning is not official cake time! There's a 'creative session' later, i might see if I can do some painting. Then L is coming after dinner to drop off some bits.

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 12:31 PM

Thanks tamo!
Hoping for tomorrow *crosses fingers*

That's nice :)
Hopefully you'll get to do some painting

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 01:10 PM

Hi everyone.

Sorry your massage was cancelled, Beckie. I am wondering though why you bought butter before your travels and not after. Wouldn't it need to go in the fridge soon and not be carried around for ages? Why are things always going wrong with your prescriptions???

Any time is cake time, Tamo! Especially when it's a birthday cake. Hope you get to do some painting and your period doesn't treat you too horribly.

Have fun swimming, Dawn. Your head will be warm at least!

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 01:13 PM

I bought butter before I got the bus home, so was only out of the fridge for maybe 30 mins! It is now happily enjoying fridge life at home :-D
I think the GP surgery don't really get the weekly prescription thing yet!

What are you up to lindsay?

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 01:18 PM

Hi osc, how are you?

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 01:29 PM

I hope you have placed the butter on the best shelf in the fridge. GP surgeries don't seem to cope well with a lot of things they need to sort out.

I have been to the chemist and post office. Was posting some things from Vinted. Why do the people on Vinted always want you to reduce the price by a ridiculous amount?! Then did a washing and hoovered. Got an Iceland delivery coming at some point but the ice cream cookie sandwiches I ordered are out of stock. So sad.

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 01:31 PM

I have indeed!
They're a great surgery in most respects, but this could definitely be better!

People on vinted can be right chancers!
Well done on your tasks!
That is very sad. They sound awesome :(

tamobhuuta 07-10-2024 02:10 PM

I have never heard of ice cream cookie sandwiches but they sound awesome!

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 02:13 PM

It's like two cookies with ice cream in the middle. I've never had them before.

not_so_insig 07-10-2024 02:17 PM

I have a tesco shopping order coming later. 1 substitution and 0 unavailable items. Gonna have to reject the substitution as it was something I didn't want substituted but yet they substituted it anyway.

Am back from wild swimming and had a shower plus coffee. I spent about an hour in the water.

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 02:32 PM

I hope you get them one day lindsay!

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 06:13 PM

Do you feel more warm the longer you spend in the water, Dawn?

I have a boring Snickers bar for my 7.30pm snack instead.

What is everyone getting up to this evening?

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 06:17 PM

Do like a snickers though!

Not a lot. I am tired from doing nothing XD

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 06:36 PM

Snickers ice cream bars are really good, have you ever had one?

You have done things today though. I hope you can have a nice relaxed evening and sleep well. Are you able to sleep in a better position now?

not_so_insig 07-10-2024 06:52 PM

Your body does acclimatise after a while Lindsay. However it was warm today with some sun.

one_step_closer 07-10-2024 06:54 PM

What about when you come out of the water? You must be freezing. Does it take you long to get home and properly warm?

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 06:56 PM

I have! And the mars ones are good too

not_so_insig 07-10-2024 07:07 PM

It's a 20 minute drive to my home but I change from my swimming shoes into crocs Lindsay. I also have a poncho to change into which is quite warm. I go into the shower as soon as I get in and have a coffee once I am dry out of the shower and changed.

Ahimsa 07-10-2024 07:38 PM

At least you're warm! That's something. Did you have a good time?

Unfortunately tonight I have dropped my phone and in doing so, have dialled the number for the Chinese takeaway, and then got in the car after work and instead of driving home, drove to the Chinese takeaway and now I have Chinese food. �� absolutely couldn't be helped ��*♀️

Cacoethes 07-10-2024 08:05 PM

What a shame beth! I too, have accidentally obtained Chinese food on occasion, so I can sympathise ;p

Cacoethes 08-10-2024 05:41 AM

Morning everyone
