Me too, to some extent. Kinda just do what I feel like.

What time's your flight tomorrow?

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 08:16 AM

Same

It's at 9:40am.
But me being me, we're getting the train at 3:58am to get there for 6:04am.
Because I do not trust trains!
Luckily i live a 4 min walk from the station, so at least we don't have a trek that early in the morning!

I managed to get nail glue all over my finger....

nonperson 28-12-2023 08:34 AM

That is early! I've been watching the news this morning though and it's talking about all the disruption caused by the wind so probably best to give yourself plenty of time.

Ew. Can you get it off?

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 08:41 AM

Yeah, trains can't deal with anything. Leaves on track, wind, rain, heat..
It's like 'it is very weather. Can't cope'

Currently soaking it with nail polish remover
Seems to be working!

nonperson 28-12-2023 11:04 AM

Gooood.

I should go to Tesco... =/

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 11:08 AM

I wish you luck on your tesco quest!

I was freaking out about trains so L has booked us a hotel at the airport for tonight. Bless her!

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 11:09 AM

I very much approve of L :)

Go go go to Tesco np!!

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 11:09 AM

Also, morning kids!

nonperson 28-12-2023 11:14 AM

I kinda want to respond to that in the sing-songy way kids do in school.

Gooood mooorning Mrrsss Modeeeeraaaatorrrr

tamobhuuta 28-12-2023 11:22 AM

Morning all.

I hope you have fun in Rome Cacoethes.

And I hope you have fun in Tesco np.

Lol, what a throwback!!

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 11:33 AM

Morning tamo!
Fine thanks Beckie. Meeting my mum for coffee at a coffee shop in my village #village life and I am on time and she is late which is VERY unusual

They don't do that any more? =(

The rain is sideways, I don't want to go out...!

Hope your mum has turned up by now and you're enjoying a warming village coffee.

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 12:49 PM

Oh god i remember that!

I hope you enjoy your beverage jenna!
And that your mum turns up soon.
What is your drink of choice?

Oh no! Not sideways rain!
That's the worst.
It's cloudy but kind of bright here. Not rained yet today.
It is meant to. But it is incredibly windy!

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 12:56 PM

Morning all!!

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 12:57 PM

Morning beth! Just!
How are you?

long road 28-12-2023 01:05 PM

Afternoon all!

I actually slept in for once. Only got up about half an hour ago.

My plan for today is starting to build my Lego Trevi Fountain.

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 01:12 PM

Morning LR!

I'm the same, I slept horrendously so only got up about half an hour ago. Need to fit a lot into the afternoon now!

For accountability, my list is:

Aldi
Drop my friends present off
Take the glass jars to the recycling place
Dye my hair (I didn't do it a fortnight ago when I was meant to!!)
Tidy and vacuum the living room
Fix the marks on the wall that need a paint touch up
Hang the prints
Sort the banking stuff I was meant to a few weeks ago

I'm also being picked up at 6 to go to a show.


Send me productive vibes guys!!!!

They may do in primary tbf, but not secondary! I will ask some children and find out!

Excitement! Send jpgs! Or you could show us at the zoom!

Beth - sending many productive vibes! Hope the list has started off well.

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 01:22 PM

Must have needed the sleep both of you!

Ooh a lego trevi fountain!
Send me a pic when you've finished please!

Sending all the productive vibes to you beth!

I've been fairly productive.
Went to pick up meds, went to poundland for gloves, did a load of washing, cleaned out the boys, put their washing on and cleaned the living room and kitchen and packed my suitcase.
I now don't have anything to do until the train tonight!

I did seem to recall that you're not a coffee person jenna!

tamobhuuta 28-12-2023 01:30 PM

I hope you have a nice time with your mum Pi.
Good luck with jobs Ahimsa.
Enjoy building lr.
Well done Cacoethes.

TALKS ABOUT POO
I went to all the effort of pooing in a bowl and they said it was the wrong type of poo for a sample.

one_step_closer 28-12-2023 01:41 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Hope you're all getting on ok with your things.

That sounds slightly strange, Tamo!

nonperson 28-12-2023 01:41 PM

Tesco is done! Roads were horrendous with giant puddles and the shop was busy but I survived and even changed my dollars from 2020 back into pounds =o

Ooh hot chocolate.

How can poo be the wrong kind? O.o (rhetorical question - no one needs to answer that)

nonperson 28-12-2023 01:41 PM

Hi ninja Lindsay =)

one_step_closer 28-12-2023 01:42 PM

Well done, NP. Sounds like an adventure.

one_step_closer 28-12-2023 01:42 PM

You just ninja'd too!

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 01:42 PM

Thanks tamo!
That is very odd! You do have to jump through a lot of hoops with those samples
They're very specific!

Hey lindsay!
How are you?

Well done np!

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 01:46 PM

Ahh everyone's so busy today!

Well done on productivitys

one_step_closer 28-12-2023 01:53 PM

I've been to the chemist and to Asda and did a washing. Just missed a bus on the way home and they're operating a Saturday service so I was a bit annoyed.

tamobhuuta 28-12-2023 02:13 PM

Well done np and osc.

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 02:15 PM

That's annoying lindsay!

long road 28-12-2023 02:18 PM

I have not built any Lego yet and have instead come back to bed as was feeling all sorts of eurgh (mental and physical). Will share jpegs when building does occur.

You should get to see the Trevi Fountain for real soon Beckie!

Well done everyone on your productivity so far!

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 02:19 PM

Ahh everyone's so busy today!

Well done on productivitys

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 02:21 PM

That's a shame jen.
Resting is a good idea though!

We were going to see it after the restaurant tomorrow evening, because it will be all lit up and it's only a 20 min walk. Will probably go again during the day too.

nonperson 28-12-2023 03:43 PM

That fountain looks incredible =o

I've run out of productivity. Need to wash up and shower though... but for now I'm watching the new Indiana Jones film.

maii 28-12-2023 03:54 PM

Good morning everyone! No plans other than I have an appointment with my therapist in the afternoon. Ugh.

nonperson 28-12-2023 03:56 PM

Morning Maii. That sucks but I hope it's helpful at least and that you can do some other nice things today as well.

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 03:57 PM

Enjoy NP!! I'm glad you're resting for a bit!

For accountability, my list is:

Aldi - DONE
Drop my friends present off - DONE
Take the glass jars to the recycling place - DONE

Dye my hair (I didn't do it a fortnight ago when I was meant to!!)
Tidy and vacuum the living room
Fix the marks on the wall that need a paint touch up - DONE
Hang the prints
Sort the banking stuff I was meant to a few weeks ago

maii 28-12-2023 03:58 PM

Yeah I've not decided whether or not to tell her the truth or just play it off that I'm ok when I"m not, but, maybe something else will come out of the day, NP. Thanks!

nonperson 28-12-2023 04:08 PM

I hope you do manage to tell the truth.

Well done, Beth! What task are you tackling next?

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 04:10 PM

Tbh I want to ask non-rhetorically how a poo could be the wrong kind of poo!!

Lindsay, how long did you have to wait for a bus?

Well done for getting all your jobs done Beckie, and a shout-out to np for braving Tesco and Beth for progressing through the list!

Jen, sympathy for your eugh.

Maii, I won't get too serious in here but unless you're being forced to attend therapy that you don't want, it seems like a waste of everyone's time to not be honest.

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 04:13 PM

What do you think of the new indiana jones np?
I really liked it!

Well done beth!

Thanks jenna
Are you back from your hot chocolate?

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 04:16 PM

Yep! She was only like 4 mins late but still apologised profusely as if I'm not late to every single event I've been to for the last 33 years :P

And now I must summon all of my copes to go and clean out the fridge :plain:

What are you going to do the rest of the day Beckie?

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 04:19 PM

I hope you can be honest <3. Sending love.

Well done, Beth! What task are you tackling next?

I've done a bit more of the banking thing but I was starting to get overwhelmed so I've done one bit and I'll do another bit tomorrow. I'm just making some food as I've realised I've not eaten yet which is not good.

nonperson 28-12-2023 04:22 PM

Beckie, I probably need to give it another watch but did enjoy it and thought it was much better than the Crystal Skull!

Pi.R^2 28-12-2023 04:23 PM

Eat food Beth!!

Also I bring you all a top tip from the frontline- not all fridge drawers are watertight!

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 04:24 PM

4 mins is barely late!

Good luck jenna! What a horrible task!

I really don't know!
We're probably going to get the train around 8-8:30.
I've been to the retail park to kill some time, but it was horribly busy so didn't spend long there.

Banking stuff is effort

It is definitely better than crystal skull np!

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 04:38 PM

Did you get anything Beckie?

maii 28-12-2023 04:40 PM

I'll try but I don't want to get hospitalized again; but yeah, not the place (I guess) to be this serious.


And thank, NP
