Morning
Yeah, i got distracted by clearing drawers out so forgot to come on XD

Afternoon all. Glad you're ok Beckie and just were busy.

Hi everyone. How are your days going?

I am having a relaxing day today. Apart from washing my hair and putting the recycling boxes outside i haven't got much to do today. Am waiting for an ebay parcel which I hopped would arrive today but didn't. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow with the postman as there's no post on Friday or on Monday.

Also psa: don't forget peeps that this weekend is Easter so if you rely on public transport Friday and Monday's timetable may be different if you have to be somewhere. As well as Sunday. Big shops are shut on Sunday including supermarkets in England and Wales in case people have to get provisions in.

Hi everyone
Thanks dawn!

How is everyone?

L has gone out for an appointment so I'm here with S.

I am a bit bored. Done some laundry, hoovered the communal area outside my flat and taken the recycling boxes outside. It's windy af here so fingers crossed my blue bag won't get blown away!

Really windy here too

It's wet and windy here. It's annoying because all of my jackets have hoods that won't stay up in the wind.

I hope S is calm enough today, Beckie.

He was ok after the initial upset. L was only out for about an hour!

Its not wet here at least!

I can't stop thinking about the cake you made him, it looked amazing!

Hope everyones had a good Wednesday?

It was very good, if I do say so myself! XD

Hey beth!
Its been ok thanks.
How about you?

That is good news! Why so good?

Mine has been okay thank you, dropped my car off at the garage after work - I'm not looking forward to walking to work in the morning though :( Luckily I'm only working a half day and I'm then going to get the car back after lunch and I'm going to Manchester for a gig!

Second ever motorway drive, eek!

Hot bath and an early night tonight is the plan :)

Morning all.

Morning!
How are you?

Bored because I was awake early. Can't do much as it's still early and I don't want to disturb the neighbours.

I know the feeling.

How are you Beckie?

I'm ok thanks. Got work today. Ugh!

Do you have any plans?

Other than cleaning my flat today I have no plans for today. My mum is coming later though.

Sounds like an ok day!

Afternoon everyone.

I hope you get your cleaning done and have a nice time with your Mum, Dawn.

Hope work goes well, Beckie.

Thanks. My mum has been and gone.

Thanks lindsay!
Work is ok so far
We got descended upon by a literal swarm of children earlier, which was overwhelming because they were all paying in cash and we had no 1p coins :eyeroll:
Just on break now, waiting for cc to call.

How are you?

Did you do anything with your Mum, Dawn?

Children and cash usually equals slow! Did you manage to talk to your CC?

I'm a mixed mess.

Evening all. I hope you're all well.

Hi all, I hope you're all doing well. Best wishes from an old timer.

Hey MountainView, how are you?

Beckie how you do motorways every day I do not know! I did my second ever motorway drive (in 12 years of driving) today, the first time which was a few years ago, was awful, this time was even worse. I'm in actual physical pain in my back, legs, shoulders and hands from being SO tense the whole time, and I had to come off 4 times to cry.

The "1 hour 20 mins" journey took me 3 hours there and 2 and a half to come back, it was so overwhelming. And it wasn't even worth it because I spent the whole time there, freaking out about coming back.

Trains weren't an option, my last bus back from the train station, if it turns up, is 10pm. More reliable one at 9pm, which would mean leaving the event by 7:20 at the very latest - it started at 6:30!

That sounds super stressful beth
But well done for doing it! Even if it took longer, you still did it!
I was so nervous the first time, but I guess i just desensitised myself. It's easy once you get the hang of it, which only happened quickly for me because I'm so used to it and do it so often.
What roads are your favourite to drive on?
I struggle with city centres but am getting better!

Morning everyone

Hey everyone. Driving sounds so stressful.

Sorry you had a stressful drive, Beth. In some ways I think motorways are ok to drive on but then you always have to make sure you're in the right lane which I'm not good at understanding. I hope you enjoy the gig.

What are you doing today, Beckie?

Hi, Tamo. Will you be doing anything special over Easter?

I'm at work today.
It has not been a good day so far

How are you both?

I don't really have a favourite type of road - I drive 2 miles to work down a single road, 5 miles to the supermarket the opposite direction on the same road. Occasionally to the city centre 6 miles away but if I can't park at a specific car park (that means not going round the centre of town), I come home, or to York (25 miles) which is straight down the A64 (2 lanes) but I wouldn't say I enjoy it. Other than last night and my first motorway drive years ago, that 25 mile journey is the furthest I've ever driven.

I'm doing all the prayers I would do at home and on Sunday I will eat chocolate eggs. Also I'm hoping L will visit.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Beckie. When do you finish?

That sounds good, Tamo. I hope L is able to visit.

I was out again today with my friend to look in The Works for their new fidgets.

That's fair enough beth. Do you not enjoy driving?

Thanks lindsay
I finished at 9pm so I'm home now.
The day got better, thankfully. And my boss came in before we closed and had got us all Easter eggs! He knew i wasn't working this weekend, so that's why he came in to deliver them tonight. That cheered me up loads. And also me and J had a long chat. And she gave me a hug and bought me some chocolate.

Did you find any lindsay?

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie, how're you? How is your Saturday going?

I've just got back from yoga

Morning beth!
How are you? Did you have a good yoga session?

I'm ok thanks!
Cleaned the piggos out this morning, showered and cleaned the kitchen. We're heading to Leicester soon to watch the women's rugby. England v Scotland. I'm very excited!

it was a very needed yoga session! I can't go next week though as I'm working all weekend, boo!

Enjoy the rugby!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Ugh! Hate it when work gets in the way of things we enjoy! I haven't been able to go to glow beatz for ages because I've been working basically every Tuesday!

Thank you!

Hi everyone.

Oh no, England vs Scotland. I'm not getting involved!

I hope you enjoy the rugby, Beckie.

I'm glad you were able to go to yoga today, Beth, and I hope you can go back soon.

I just got an Easter egg delivery that my brother sent and I laughed because very, very weirdly we both got each other the same kind of egg. It's not like it's a common one or a properly special one. It's a Ferrero Rocher one.

Ooh fancy!! Enjoy OSC! :)

Thanks, Beth. I hope you'll be having a treat too if you'd like one.

Lol lindsay!!!

Thank you.
We have arrived safely. It was a pretty decent journey apart from some sketchy roundabouts with like 4 lanes XD
But mostly just down the M1.

That egg sounds lovely!

Glad you've arrived safely Beckie!

I don't have any Easter eggs, I may pop out later to get some chocolate or something?

Well done with the drive, Beckie.

You should definitely get yourself some kind of treat, Beth.

Thanks guys!

Another vote to get yourself a treat beth!

Afternoon all.
