Fingers crossed the t-shirt comes in time.

Enjoy the sunlight Jen! I heard a rumour that it's supposed to be good for you.

Morning Tamo, well done! Have you got anything else planned for today?

Its meant to help with my chronic fatigue as the natural light makes your body make wake up chemicals and generally regulate your sleep wake cycle. It doesn't seem to make me less tired but it does help with getting up in the morning.

Watching doctors at 1.45pm :) the correct size of notebook should also be arriving but I don't know if I'll have the energy to start filling it. How are you getting on?

I shall try out the rehydration solution!

Morning sunlight is good! I'm not sure if it's the same where you are, but it's a bearable temperature right now!

Well done tamo!

I've just found out work have underpaid me by 6 hours :plain:
So they're gonna add it to next weeks pay.
Thank goodness I'm getting my UC tomorrow, otherwise I'd be pretty screwed!

Morning all. It's very hot here. My cat found it too hot yesterday as he did nothing but sleep. He demanded his breakfast though today.

Also my truffle shuffle order and book came today.

2 DPD vans have just pulled up.
Maybe they're about to have a turf war?

Morning everyone. Lots of people doing things and planning to do things. I hope you all have a good day.

I've been to the chemist, post office, and local shop. Done a washing and hung it up. Need to have an early lunch today (roll and crisps - so healthy) because someone is phoning me at 1pm to help me apply for UC. I hope it's not a long and difficult call.

Insig, what's truffle shuffle? What book have you got?

Osc I hope the call isn't too stressful.

Thanks, Tamo. Truffleshuffle is a website that sells lots of cool stuff (but often expensive).

What are you doing before Doctors comes on?

Truffle Shuffle is a website selling 80s and 90s themed stuff. They have clothing, handbags and homewares amongst other stuff. It's not the cheapest of sites but it has good quality stuff.

I can't say what book I had because it will link me to another forum. I am a bit wary of people (especially those that know me irl) finding out about here especially as I write about stuff that I don't want broadcasting. I have written stuff here that only you lot know about.

Totally understandable, Dawn.

Do you have anything planned for today?

Hey lindsay!

Roll and crisps is an excellent choice tbh!

Cpn has just been.
Email about taekwondo. It's a competition lesson tonight. Which anyone can go to. But it's from 6-7:30. Not that i had anything to do afterwards anyway XD
It's just going through what happens at a competition and stuff. There's a local one soon.
Idk whether to go or not. Probably will, otherwise I'll be bored at home!

Sorry. Mini rant!

In this heat the salt from crisps will help you retain more water and stay hydrated. And no food is so unhealthy that you should never eat or that it's bad, you need fuel, some things are just better in moderation.

I am back inside and chilling out now in front of fan while I watch Foyles War. Then I plan to meditate before making lunch.

Thanks Lindsay. It's not exactly a well known author.

What genre of books do you like Dawn?

I am a big sci fi and fantasy fan for fiction. But I like non fiction about history.

Fair enough insig.

I decided to wash a load of towels. It seemed hygienic. Also read for about 10 minutes but now I'm having lunch in front of the news.

I got a letter from my dentist, they can't see NHS patients anymore :(

That really sucks Tamo. NHS dentists are like gold dust, I took the plunge to go private last year after struggling to find a NHS dentist and not seeing anyone for 7 years. Luckily I didnt need any work done.

Hope you are enjoying / have enjoyed Doctors.

I am currently not sure how I am. Nothing else really planned for the day. Partner's sister was going to come over but she needs to look after her son.

Feel like I deserve a sticker for getting through that call, although the lady was really nice. Annoying that I don't have 2 of the things listed on the UC website to prove my identity so I'm going to need to get an appointment at the job centre to prove my identity. There will be more forms to fill in but the lady from Money Matters should be helping me with those too.

Mini rant is ok, Beckie! Are you anywhere near having to go to a competition? Will going to this session benefit you? I know it can be very boring sitting at home though. How did it go with your CPN?

Good plans you've got there, Jen. Fancy sandwich for lunch?

Well done with doing those things, Tamo. That's a shame about your dentist, will you be ok to register with a different place?

Ninja, Jen. Can you think of another thing you can do today to keep your mind busy?

I will have a look locally, see if any dentists are taking people on.

Well done for surviving the call osc!

I did enjoy doctors thanks LR. Can you do anything nice for yourself now your partner's sister can't come?

Dentists are a nightmare. The ones near me that ARE taking nhs patients have a 10+ year waiting list.

I could do the next competition now if i wanted to. It's only a local one so you don't need to be in the squad to compete.

Well done for getting through the call lindsay! They can be very stressful!
And it's so annoying when you are told you don't have everything you need!

Just been to bodycombat. The air con isn't working there D:
And there's only 2 single fire doors. And 2 fans. It's a pretty small studio!
But no one collapsed so it's all good! I was drenched in sweat though! Got home, immediately had a cold shower.
And I've had my parcel! Which came literally a few mins after i got dressed!

It's boiling outside. Been outside but after a while it became far too hot. Have all my windows open but I am still boiling. My cat found yesterday far too hot as he's more livelier today.

Surely it should be a law that nobody is allowed to exercise in this heat! Beckie would probably set up a secret exercise class though. Perfect timing there Beckie.

Dawn, Crookshanks was like that yesterday. Just sleeping and only getting up for water or when I told him it was food time. He was a bit more lively this morning but he's been snoozing for a while now.

Well done Lindsay! Have a celebration drink of your favourite beverage.

It should be, but there are others also like me!
Maybe set up a secret underground exercise ring? XD
The classes do get cancelled if it is an unsafe heat. Even when the gym try to get the instructors to do it, they won't.
Glow beatz doesn't run if it's unusually hot.
Probably for the best!

Probably don't want people passing out all over the place!

Nope! I imagine it would be rather inconvenient!

My watch has just told me to 'get moving'.
The audacity XD

Tell your watch to bog off. I think you've moved more than plenty.

Thank you! I quite agree!

I dislike your watch! Throw it in a pond!

Well it turned out partners sister was free after all! She managed to ger childcare. So we just had an enjoyable couple of hours chatting with her and now I am going to have a nap as it wore me out.

Tried your rehydration stuff yet Beckie?

Well done Lindsay.

I need to change the settings really!
It's too expensive to throw in a pond XD

Sounds lovely jen!

I have! It tastes weird but i guess it was always going to!

I'm glad you had an enjoyable chat, Jen. Hope your nap helps and maybe you can do some more things with your day if you want.

But I really wanted you to throw your watch in a pond :-( Oh well, just get changing those settings then! Does it say nice things to you when you complete something?

Yes it does!
I think it says 'well done for keeping active' or something. With some firework/confetti type graphic!

I don't like your watch Cacoethes.

I'm glad you had a good time LR.

It's just trying to help!

I'm glad your watch can be kind too, Beckie.

What's everyone up to?

I spy my friend NP *reaches out and pulls NP further into thread*

Is that you being pulled in or are you hiding from me? :laugh:

How are you getting on?

That's me sneaking away because I was spotted! =P

Hot and tired... Just parked up at the garden centre for some late evening compost purchasing though.

Just had dinner, trying to relax in front of TV but feel a bit off. Did manage a nap earlier but only about an hour.

Thrilling evening there NP! Can you cool off when you get home?

That sounds like a common evening activity, NP. Hope you can chill out once that's done.

What was for dinner, Jen? Anything you can do to ease the feeling of being a bit off?

We had takeaway fried chicken and chips. Neither of us could be bothered to cook.

As for the other question It's hard to answer, I posted in my RV.

I'm glad you're here np!
I have confirmation on taekwondo jump numbers!
At international, the jump kick in the air is 2 metres 80
The side kick over 2 hurdles then break a board is 3 metres! So a horizontal jump.
I know these for absolute certain now XD
At smaller competitions, the jump kick IS up to 30cm above head height.

Anyway...evening everyone!

Goodness gracious. Are you sure there are no ninjas in your class? I didn't think humans could do that!

Apparently they can!
I made sure to remember the numbers today!
It is a very niche part of the competition though, so it's not like a thing that everyone has to learn/do.
