Oh dear. Have fun!

Cacoethes 09-07-2023 05:02 PM

So far, it has very much not been fun XD

one_step_closer 09-07-2023 05:05 PM

Sounds like a successful shopping trip, Tamo. What are the notebook and earrings like?

Beckie, you probably did this to yourself. Stop it at once! I hope the rest of your shift is better.

Just popping in to say I am alive just have had a very busy weekend.

Was up until 1am Roleplaying Friday into Saturday. And we defeated who we thought was the big bad and found out there was an even bigger bad so the universe is not yet saved. I have been informed that this is definitely the final battle though. So a week or two until the fate of the universe is decided

Was at a friend's house from 4pm - 11pm yesterday playing a roleplaying game called starfinder which we started in June and play roughly monthly. It is my 4th different roleplaying game campaign that I play with any regularity but only one I play in person rather than online ( 1 game approx monthly, 2 games I play fortnightly on alternate Wednesdays and 1 every Friday). This game is another sci-fi one but less high powered and campaign is a bit like firefly.

Then this afternoon we had 2 friends over to play a board game and chat.

And between I have just been resting. Speaking of which I have a headache and need a nap.

Been thinking of you all and will catch up tomorrow xx

one_step_closer 09-07-2023 05:49 PM

Lots, lots, lots, Jen! Hope you enjoyed everything. Hope your nap helps your headache.

tamobhuuta 09-07-2023 06:11 PM

Well done lr!

The notebook has flowers on and Bible quotes inside. The earrings are opally with stars. I love TK Maxx!

not_so_insig 09-07-2023 06:28 PM

Hello all.

long road 09-07-2023 07:07 PM

Hey Dawn!

It has all been fun just rather tiring too.

Alas I did not manage a nap so am still tired but painkillers and a cool pack has reduced headache though annoyingly not irradiated it!

one_step_closer 09-07-2023 07:19 PM

Sounds lovely, Tamo. You never know what you'll find in TK Maxx. I haven't been there in ages. My nearest one is where my brother lives.

Hi Dawn, how are you doing?

That must be annoying, Jen. I hope you can settle into a good sleep tonight.

not_so_insig 09-07-2023 08:02 PM

I am ok thanks Lindsay but had a tiring day today.

Cacoethes 09-07-2023 11:58 PM

The shift was intense and I never want to see another glass in my life (glasswash was so packed full, we weren't getting them out fast enough and had nowhere to put the clean glass trays)
And there was a car accident outside just as we were closing up. Obviously drunk driver (not from our pub). Tried to call 101 but obvs on hold for ages, then police turned up anyway. Someone must have called 999. Car was smoking. Went into a bollard.

long road 10-07-2023 04:04 AM

:hehe: Sleep what's that?:crazy:

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 06:27 AM

Lol. Feels.
Hopefully you've gone back to sleep now!

Morning everyone!

nonperson 10-07-2023 08:24 AM

Morning all. How is everyone today?

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 08:41 AM

Morning!
My brain has not caught up with me yet and my feet hurt still XD

How are you?
Enjoying your time off?

nonperson 10-07-2023 09:19 AM

Eep, no standing up today then.

Dunno about enjoying but it's nice not to wake up to an alarm. Although I woke up early anyway. No one has phoned me yet though so that's a bonus.

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 09:42 AM

Sadly, i have to get the bus to hospital to have what's left of a tooth out (root canal fell out in the winter at some point)

No one phoning is good!
I'm hoping for no phone calls, because it would probably mean my appointment is cancelled again. They only let me know like an hour before i was going to get the bus :plain:

Anyway, any plans for today?

tamobhuuta 10-07-2023 09:44 AM

Morning guys.
Cacoethes I hope everyone was ok in the crash?

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 10:00 AM

Morning tamo!

Yeah everyone was fine, except the driver was obviously incredibly drunk
But they were both able to stand around shouting at us not to call the police while insisting he wasn't drunk....

How are you?

tamobhuuta 10-07-2023 10:10 AM

That's good. I am ok. Doing normal things and finishing packing. I've put my dressing gown in the airing cupboard to try and dry it. My room at the retreat doesn't have en suite so I'll need to be running between my room and the bathroom!

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 10:19 AM

Are you excited for it?

nonperson 10-07-2023 10:51 AM

Exciting day for you then Beckie =/ What time's your appointment? I need a tooth out too, it's slowly falling to pieces. D=

I'm excited for tamo's trip!

I have no plans as such. Feeling a bit more motivated today though so I will (maybe) repot some cacti, cut some shrubs back in the garden that are totally blocking the path, maybe some yoga? I've also made strawberries in jelly for later while I'm watching the tennis =)

tamobhuuta 10-07-2023 10:51 AM

Yes, a little bit nervous too!

tamobhuuta 10-07-2023 10:52 AM

Strawberries in jelly is perfect for tennis.

nonperson 10-07-2023 10:53 AM

Excitement and nervousness usually go hand in hand. =)

nonperson 10-07-2023 10:53 AM

With cream of course!

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 11:03 AM

Very exciting...
It's at 2:15. But having to get the 12:27 bus because buses are crap and want to make sure I actually get there in time.
I was 40 mins late to my initial appointment with them because psych ward majorly messed things up :plain:

Ooh strawberries in jelly with cream sounds tasty! Very British!

I'd say being nervous is very normal!

nonperson 10-07-2023 12:29 PM

Good luck at your appointment. Best not to be late this time!

nonperson 10-07-2023 12:50 PM

I just found a pound coin in my washing machine. Bit surprised as the only things I've washed recently have been towels and bedding... O.o

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 01:10 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Maybe the money was from the tooth fairy, NP, for the little bits of tooth that they have collected.

Jen, I hope you can have some naps today to catch up with sleep.

I really hope you have a lovely time at your retreat, Tamo.

Strawberries in jelly don't sound nice to me. I don't think I'm a jelly fan. I'll pass on the jelly if you save me some strawberries and cream, NP?

Hope everything works out with your appointment, Beckie.

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 01:23 PM

Thanks guys
I'm at the hospital and have come to check appointment time because I'm scared i got it wrong (i don't think i have)
No one at reception. That explains why they never answer phones or reply to messages...
Been standing here for quite a while..

long road 10-07-2023 01:38 PM

Afternoon All!

I slept eventually some time after 5am and woke up at 12:30pm. When I posted I hadn't actually slept at all :hehe:

Luckily I have no plans today so having a chill day after my busy weekend. Might snuggle up with partner and watch a movie this evening.

Enjoy your retreat Tamo.

Love Jelly! I hope you enjoy yours NP!

Hope tooth surgery goes ahead and is a-ok Beckie.

How are you doing Lindsay?

This literally made me lol. XD You could be right.

We always did strawberries in jelly at home so I kinda just keep doing it. I love a bit of jelly tbh but only really with strawberries and cream and Wimbledon.

Sadly for you all the strawberries went in the jelly =( I can pick some out if you like?

That's odd, Beckie! Maybe they're on lunch break or something, not that that's an excuse for leaving reception unattended.

nonperson 10-07-2023 01:41 PM

Also do you know how much the toothfairy actually gives children nowadays? I remember it being 20p for a small tooth and 50p for a big tooth but now it's like a couple of quid per tooth! I guess nothing is safe from inflation...

nonperson 10-07-2023 01:41 PM

Hello Jen!

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 01:46 PM

Hope you're being seen now, Beckie.

You're definitely due a chill day, Jen. I'm glad you're able to have one.

It's ok, NP. You'd have to make sure there were no tiny bits of jelly on the strawberries. You enjoy though. :-) I have no idea what the tooth fairy pays now. I don't even remember what I used to get as a child.

long road 10-07-2023 02:19 PM

I didn't get the tooth fairy. A friend who is a parent gave ?5 for the first tooth and then 50p for front teeth and a pound for back teeth.

Just realised I should probably have lunch!

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 03:27 PM

That is some complicated tooth fairy-ing. I think I just got the same money for every tooth.

You poor child being abandoned by the tooth fairy.

What did you have for lunch?

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 03:45 PM

They were indeed on a lunch break, until 2pm...i do wish there had been a sign saying so...
But all done now! Wasn't actually that bad! My face is still numb though
Will catch up on everyone when i get home

nonperson 10-07-2023 04:13 PM

Glad it went ok, Beckie. Hope your face is regaining some feeling.

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 04:54 PM

Face still mostly numb, but starting to feel some pain/throbbing so it's wearing off!
The surgeon and nurses were absolutely amazing. D

I'm home now and exhausted!

How is everyone?

long road 10-07-2023 04:56 PM

I had lunch just after posting which was a wrap with ham, little bit of grated mozarella, cucumber, mixed salad and a zig zag of mayo. Plus Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips and an apple.

Wouldn't usually go for mozarella in a wrap but we have a little bit left over from pizza making that needs using up.

Glad it is finally done Beckie. I know it's been needed for many months. Be careful not to drink with a straw as that can lead to a dry socket. Your face being numb made me think of that song that goes 'I can't feel my face when I'm with you' and I imagined you singing it to the dentist XD

Off to meditate and possibly nap now.

See ya soon

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 05:13 PM

Sounds like a delicious wrap!

Yeah i know, they went through all that in great detail! Plus i have an aftecare booklet!
I never drink with a straw anyway

Ahahaha! I was FAR too stressed out for singing XD

Bye jen! Hope you manage to get a decent nap in!

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 05:55 PM

Poor Beckie but glad it's over for you. Keep on top of your pain. I'm glad the people were nice.

Hope you're managing a nap, Jen.

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 06:00 PM

Thanks lindsay!
How's your day going?

not_so_insig 10-07-2023 06:51 PM

Hello all.

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 07:31 PM

I'm not sure how my day was. How are you doing now, Beckie?

Hi Dawn, how are you?

long road 10-07-2023 07:39 PM

I napped successfully :)

Just trying to wake up for the remainder of the evening now.

one_step_closer 10-07-2023 07:42 PM

Yay! How long do you class the remainder of the evening to be?

Cacoethes 10-07-2023 07:55 PM

I'm ok thanks lindsay! Very very tired!
Weird because all I've done is that one appointment. Its just taken a lot out of me for some reason!

Glad you managed to nap jen!
