I agree Lindsay
Ice is not good!
I remember I was walking up the road into work once and managed to get nearly to the door when I slipped on a huge patch of ice. Just as one of my colleagues was driving past me!
Very embarrassing. And painful!

nonperson 31-12-2020 02:44 PM

Why is falling over on ice always more painful (and embarrassing) than falling over normally?

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 02:53 PM

It totally is!

nonperson 31-12-2020 02:58 PM

But falling over while drunk is perfectly acceptable. o.O

I'm so cold I've made tea. x.x

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 03:01 PM

Yes it is! :p

Hopefully it warms you up np!

nonperson 31-12-2020 03:05 PM

I hope so. I think being out in the cold earlier this morning has meant it's got into my bones... as old people like to say. =P

Saying that, the cat is sitting on the radiator so it's not just me suffering!

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 03:09 PM

I know that feeling!

Haha! If only humans could sit on radiators

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 03:26 PM

I have a dilemma.
I found a dress I REALLY want but it's nearly £60 which I would usually NEVER spend on clothing! Because that's ridiculous.
But my nanny gave me £60 for Christmas. So would it be reasonable to buy it with my Christmas money or should I spend it on sensible things like bills and stuff?

nonperson 31-12-2020 03:31 PM

Hm, that is a tricky one.

Gift money shouldn't be spent on bills... so that means you should buy something nice with it (and you deserve nice stuff, of course).

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 03:41 PM

Thanks! That is true
I don't get much money to spend on myself usually so it would be nice to treat myself

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 03:53 PM

You definitely deserve a treat.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 03:59 PM

Thanks lindsay :)

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 04:06 PM

What's the dress like?

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:12 PM

I posted a pic on my Facebook in the post asking the same question (I needed lots of opinions!)
I bough the dress :-D

nonperson 31-12-2020 04:19 PM

Yay =D

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:23 PM

I hope it doesn't take too long to arrive!
But I guess it will be a while because of new years.

nonperson 31-12-2020 04:28 PM

I dunno, it could maybe ship on Saturday? If not Monday and that's not long.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:31 PM

True! The site said it's standard shipping

nonperson 31-12-2020 04:35 PM

Probably end of next week then hopefully! =)

I need to go back out into the cold and dark... ='(

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:40 PM

Hope so!

Oh no! :( Do you have to go out for long?

nonperson 31-12-2020 04:44 PM

No, should be done fairly quickly but still. It's always really creepy being at work on my own in the dark as well.

Going to have some motivational biscuits first. >.>

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 04:53 PM

Does sound very creepy!

Good plan!

one_step_closer 31-12-2020 06:03 PM

Motivational biscuits, you could have a business opportunity there NP!

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 06:21 PM

Motivational quotes on biscuits!

nonperson 31-12-2020 06:22 PM

I think the cleaners were there at the same time. They were setting off security lights while I hid in the shadows.

You could be right there, Lindsay! Could make a fortune with some clever advertising. =P

nonperson 31-12-2020 06:23 PM

Ooooooooh Beckie. =o

I was thinking more along the lines of loads of sugar but quotes work better. XD

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 06:57 PM

Could have loads of sugar AND quotes!

nonperson 31-12-2020 07:00 PM

This is like the improved version of fortune cookies.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 07:42 PM

Yes!!!!

The day staff came up with a plan to surprise the night staff with party poppers 5 minutes into handover. We’ve just pulled it off! It was hilarious

tamobhuuta 31-12-2020 07:49 PM

That's brilliant!

nonperson 31-12-2020 07:55 PM

Haha, amazing =P

They roped you all in too?

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 08:04 PM

Yep!
Most of the ward was in on it!

nonperson 31-12-2020 08:21 PM

Meanies. =)

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 08:55 PM

It was so funny!
The night staff found it funny too! Once they realised what was going on :p

nonperson 31-12-2020 09:10 PM

Yeah that moment of confusion is always fun. >.>

Good job you didn't accidentally get one of those batches of party poppers that don't pop.

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 09:12 PM

Haha! It was :p

Yeah that wouldn't have been as fun!

nonperson 31-12-2020 09:14 PM

Probably would have been a good giggle, although the joke would have been on you instead!

Cacoethes 31-12-2020 09:43 PM

Yep! Not as fun! :p

I'm going to bed now. Happy new year and all that rubbish! :)

nonperson 31-12-2020 11:57 PM

Happy new year rubbish to you too =)

I'm about to fall asleep so will see midnight then zonk out.

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 10:48 AM

Happy new year everyone x

one_step_closer 01-01-2021 11:00 AM

Happy New Year Tamo, and everyone else. I hope this year brings you all good things.

Are you doing anything special today Tamo?

nonperson 01-01-2021 11:31 AM

No more 2020, let's all pretend it never happened and move on to better things.

How's everyone?

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 11:55 AM

No, nothing special, what about you?
Hi np how are you?

nonperson 01-01-2021 12:12 PM

Cold and tired, the usual!

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 12:12 PM

Hey guys

nonperson 01-01-2021 12:14 PM

Howdy Beckie

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 12:22 PM

Heelo!!

I did some more 3am shopping it seems. Snacks this time. I ordered jelly babies, peanut butter cups and fudge. Must have been hungry at the time!

tamobhuuta 01-01-2021 12:31 PM

I have such a sweet tooth, I would probably do the same.

Cacoethes 01-01-2021 12:33 PM

At least it's not completely useless stuff!

nonperson 01-01-2021 12:37 PM

Mmm fudge.
