A standard day we see 80-120 clients, (6 people consulting, between 8am-7pm apart from breaks and admin time, 4 consults an hour) depending how many vets we have in, so for them to have this much impact is a big thing.

That does sound so hard, Beth. I'm sorry. *hugs if ok* It was kind of you to be there for them.

It was very hard - I'm not even a vet! I'm just a receptionist!

How is everyone else doing?

Oh J I'm so sorry to hear about your girl <3

I would have hidden my post, had I known how to on my phone!!

Are you looking after yourself, Beth?

*hugs for Jenna too*

I am trying to, yeah.

I've got a list of things to do tonight that need to be done (such as fix my costume for my show tomorrow!, and feed my friends cat as she's away for the night, but then yes it will be a cosy quiet evening for me.

How is everyone else? What've you been up to?

Does much need done on your costume? Hope the show goes well.

I've not been doing anything exciting.

Nothing a glue gun can't fix!


Have you had a cosy day OSC? It's so cold outside.

I fell asleep again. Feels a bit like I have wasted the day. But not much I can do about it.

Watching some classic doctor who now and planning to watch new doctor who special after dinner (it's currently on live)

Be sure not to glue your fingers to anything or to each other!

I was out to pick up my prescription in the morning but have been at home since with a blanket and put the heating on at points.

Hi, ninja Jen.

You've had a lot going on with your parents visiting. Hope you enjoy the new Doctor Who. What's for dinner?

Hey LR,

Resting is not wasting time.
Resting is looking after yourself. <3

Hi everyone,

Sorry I'm new to this thread so I'm not sure where to join in with the chat, but also could definitely use some gentle distraction.

May I join?

Hi Pixie,

Absolutely, everyone is welcome! I'm just going out though to feed my friends cat as she's away tonight but I'll be back on later :)

Absolutely Pixie. We chat about all sort of random stuff and more generic how our days are going stuff.


Resting when you don't want to is annoying though.

Thank you, in which case I hope everyone's had a good day so far.

Hope cat feeding went well!

I had a roast dinner for dinner and it was delicious.

Been up to anything fun Pixie or just a day like most others?

I am Jen btw.

The cat was fine, yeah :) My friend doesn't live far away, and I have four cats myself so it's an easy favour to do :)

Hi Jen, nice to meet you :) Roast dinners are lovely, yorkshires are my favourite!

My day has been busy. I achieved more than I thought I would which I'm trying to be kind to myself about.

That's nice that you have so many pets Ahisma. How long have you had cats? I'm an animal lover but can't have any in my flat unfortunately.

Ahh well done Pixie, that sounds really productive! :)

My older girls are 5 in February (I've had them since they were 1) and my younger two are 3 in March (I've had them since they were 8 weeks) - I work in a vets.

Sadness you aren't allowed pets! What would you have, if you could?

Hi Pixie! Welcome to the thread. :)

Morning everyone, how are you all?

Morning Lindsay :)

I have managed to do the dishes, do Findus' litterbox and take down the trash and the paper/cardboard stuff for recycling. Now i am couch sitting with a cappucino. It's cold outside. Meant to either get some snow or sleet later. I was going to go to the grocery store but i donated my last money to an activist campaign against the oil industry. The rain forest is more important than cola!!!!
Are you up to anything today??

Afternoon Lindsay!

Ooh cappuccino! That sounds lovely Zurg!

I am having a bit of a wobbly day today.

Good afternoon everyone. Today I need to watch yesterday's doctor who. Mum says it was very good.

I hope you enjoyed your coffee Zurg.

Sorry you're feeling wobbly lr.

Hey Tamo, Pixie, Zurg and OSC! How are you doing today?

LR I'm sorry you're having a wobbly day today, can you do something restful?

Hey Beth and Tamo!

I watched the new doctor who last night it was amazing!!!!

I am mentally wobbly as well as physically so not really sure what to do with myself.
Just finished catching up on UK Survivor.definitely not as good as Australian but it passed the time.

Hi everyone!

I paid 3.99 for the new doctor who, that i am watching now!
Still worth not having a tv licence!

I enjoyed doctor who :) gotta love David Tennant and Catherine Tate is probably my favourite companion.

Hey everyone,

Sorry to hear if you've struggled today. Hoping you can find some time to be gentle with yourselves.

Ahimsa, back to your pet question, I'd totally have a dog in a perfect world, but work full time so probably wouldn't be fair! But cats are so lovely too.

Am I the only person who has never seen Dr Who? I've also not seen Star Wars or Star Trek, and people get really passionate when they find out haha.

Pixie you are missing out! I'm not fussed about Star Wars but Doctor Who and Next Generation Star Trek are good.

Doctor who was well worth the 3.99!

I like star wars, never really got into star trek

One of the staff was recommending I watch all the Star Wars in chronological order but my brother says just to watch the original 3.

A lot of old school fans hate the new ones for really no good reason
No, they aren't really as good as the originals, but i still liked them, personally

I'm the same, Pixie.

I like the original 3 star wars and the prequels, not so keen on the sequels as they don't add much for me.

I want to watch The Mandalorian at some point now I have Disney Plus courtesy of family member.

That said watch whatever you like Pixie! What kind of TV shows/films are you into?

I fell off the sofa earlier because I had one of my non epileptic seizures. None of the fun. Been asleep since then, a bit sore but not too bad. Have ordered a chicken shish kebab for dinner.

I liked the mandolorian. And book of boba fett

I hope you enjoy your kebab!

Sorry about your seizure lr. Hope you enjoy(ed) your kebab.

Been having more non epileptic seizures again recently, it sucks but it is what it is.

Kebab was really tasty.

I think I remember people telling me that the first 3 were their favourite, too! Maybe I'll give them a watch one day. Someone introduced me to the Marvel universe once, and for someone who isn't that into super heroes, I actually quite enjoyed it.

I'm a real mixed bag, but I especially love ghost stories and psychological thrillers. Anything that'll get me thinking.

I'm sorry to hear about your seizure, but glad you enjoyed your kebab! Hope you're feeling a bit better for it.

I'm glad the kebab was tasty!
Something good from the day!

I used to read psychological thrillers mostly!

How early do we reckon I can get my meds?

M got the nurse to do my meds moments later!

Morning everyone

Morning everybody.

I'm proud of myself already, just got a drs appt with the same dr I spoke to last time and it's this morning. Massive wins as I hate using the phone!

Hope you all have a good day.

Well done!

Thanks, you too

Hello everyone.

Well done pixie.

I'm seeing an employment person this morning.

Hey tamo
Hope it goes well!

Thanks. What are you up to?

Morning everyone.
Having a bit of a rubbish mind today.
Hope the appointment goes well, pixie.
And yours too, Tamo.
