Hey lindsay!

Yes I see what you mean!

Hi osc, how are you?

Curry for lunch is acceptable though?

I had vegetable masala and tarka dhal. It was just store bought stuff though but still so good!

Definitely acceptable, and your curries sound yum.

Tarka dhal is lentil, that was my favourite.

We used to go out for a family lunchtime buffet at the local Indian restaurant.

I've just received a load of Indian spices in the post today actually!

Nice :) !

It's a 3 month subscription thingy that I had a gift voucher for.

I never use spices since I never really cook from scratch.

How is everyones day going?

I don't use spices either

My day has been good!
How about you?

I don't use spices either. This thing provides just enough to make a certain meal. I'm hoping it will motivate me too cook something properly for a change, even if it's just once a month.

My day is meh. I need to go back to work soon. Cba...

Oh goddammit, my bin day is changing yet again. Mondays, fortnightly. I'm never going to get it right...!

Oh no np! Hate it when bin days change!

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie and all.

How's everyone doing?

Morning np!

I'm ok.
Been for my contraceptive depot and picked up my bike so I can now chill for the rest of the day!

How are you?
Up to much today?

Hi everyone. I am ok, my only activity is church, it will be good to get out the house.

I'm at work this morning, feeling very unmotivated, and can't get home until after 1pm because a running event is blocking access to my house...!

Oh nooo np!
How annoying!

Really annoying, especially as there isn't actually much to do/that I can be bothered doing/that won't wait until it rains tomorrow... haha. Just been sat on my arse the last half hour...

At least you're getting paid for not doing much work!
Though time goes faster when you're busy

Did you ride your bike back Beckie?

Nope! The handlebars have become a bit off centre from my last crash so I'm going to need to take it up to halfords for them to fix it.

How are you Dawn?

Yeah, I kinda prefer weekends where it's manic, running around watering everything in sight. Autumn's a tricky season.

I think our jobs are similar in a way. You have demanding customers wanting drinks, and although my customers are plants they're still demanding water all the time! XD

Afternoon Dawn.

Haha! Yes it is quite similar! XD

I'm off until Wednesday now.
Then working 4 days in a row

Ooh that's a nice long break.

I should be returning to more normal hours and only one weekend every couple of months now. September seems to have all blurred into one very long working week... x.x

Maybe I'll even book a week off... *gasp* =o

Yes!

That's good!

You should book a week off! You deserve it!

My neighbour has just done my garden for me :-D
And the great escape is on!

I definitely will.

Your neighbour is awesome. Is your garden just lawn?

She is
Yes. It's not even a proper garden. Just a strip of grass outside my house. But I have some bits at the side so I can plant stuff. Which I didn't do this year

It's still nice to have an outside space, even if it's small.

My garden has most definitely gone wild this year. I've still only strimmed and mown half the lawn... my parents are really not going to be impressed next weekend =|

Yes definitely :)
It's still big enough for planting flowers and sunbathing (if I did sunbathe!)

Oh dear!
:/

There's a lot you can do with a small space if you wanted to!

Yeah, I'm a little worried my mum will invite herself to stay over and help with it =/

I am ok thanks everyone. Slept for nearly 12 hours.

I am going to wash my hair later though. Did everyone's tv go down last night? Mine didn't because I was watching recordings but apparently a shìt load of TV channels did.

That is true!

Wouldn't you want your mum's help?

My TV was fine dawn. Unless it all went down when I was at work

I'd like the help maybe, but I'd feel pressured by it. Plus I dunno how I feel about her staying!

No idea about my tv - I was probably watching iplayer or nowtv.

I know what you mean np

I'll get it done when I get it done, that's my moto.

My sister is staying over next weekend. I'm minorly stressing about that but she's much more chilled out than my mum is. =P

That's fair enough!

I stress about people staying over too!

They disrupt my routine... The personal space I need to feel content is bigger than my house, unfortunately! Maybe I'll ask her to camp outside in the garden. >.>

Yep! Same
I don't think that's unreasonable :p

She'd have all sorts of company out there - 3 cats, maybe some pheasants, frogs and toads... and there's something that keeps screeching really loudly in the evenings over the fence by the pond which I think will be very enjoyable for someone trying to sleep outside. =P

Haha! Well, it's sometimes nice to be one with nature! :p

Exactly. She lives in the middle of a big city, she could do with some nature time.

Well there we go!

I've agreed to go into work tonight.
Even after convincing myself I wouldn't XD
But they are really desperate and I'm not doing anything.
It'll only be for a few hours

Remember you can say no though if you just want to rest! Hope it goes quietly. =)

Sad news, my sister's horse has to be put down. She hasn't come home yet but she's going to be devastated.

Oh no... I'm so sorry to hear that. =(

It was not quiet!
It was chaos!

That's so sad tamo
I've had horses pass away and it's awful

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie, how are you today? What are you getting up to?

Morning lindsay!
I am ok thanks!
Not up to much. Got a tesco delivery coming between 1-5

How about you?

I hope you've got some tasty things in your Tesco order. Between 1-5 is quite a long range.

I'm not doing much either. Just washed my hair and put a wash on. The beep on the washer-drier is so quiet the clothes usually sit in the drum for a while before I realise the cycle has finished.
