I found it on amazon, sounds quite sad?

not_so_insig 14-10-2023 12:36 PM

I wouldn't know as never read it. Although I bought an copy ages ago it was edited and also not illustrated. I wanted a early edition with dust jacket for ages and eventually found one at a reasonable price. So I bought it and hopefully I will read it at some point.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 12:51 PM

That's lovely.

What are people doing this afternoon?

not_so_insig 14-10-2023 12:55 PM

I am doing mopping of my floors and cleaning my knocker today. Other than that I have no plans today. I know it's terribly thrilling.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 12:58 PM

My afternoon is exciting too. I will make my bed because the sheet goes skewiff in the night and I get to tick off 'tidy' on my coping activity list.

not_so_insig 14-10-2023 01:02 PM

That's good you have something to do tamobhuuta I know IP can be very boring.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 01:06 PM

I brought plenty of stuff with me. I'm basically doing stuff I'd do at home in a different room! Oh and trying to eat with cardboard cutlery!

not_so_insig 14-10-2023 01:10 PM

Oooh that doesn't sound very fun with the cutlery tamobhuuta. Hopefully they'll let you have normal ones at some point.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 01:22 PM

I don't think so. No one's allowed metal. We were, then we weren't again. Maybe they're trying to be ecofriendly? But the spoons are too shallow for soup and the knives and forks are too flimsy for cutting pretty much everything. I gave up the other day and ate my pastry with my hands. I drink my soup from a cup.

Cacoethes 14-10-2023 01:26 PM

Hey guys!
I went to see Barbie with Jas
It was really good!
Just waiting for bus home now
But i messed up the times, but if this next one is on time, i will get back to town with 10 mins before my hair appointment! *crosses fingers*

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 02:20 PM

I enjoyed Barbie. Good luck with the buses.

one_step_closer 14-10-2023 03:43 PM

At least you're inventive enough to get round the cutlery issue, Tamo!

Hope you managed to get your bus on time, Beckie.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 04:01 PM

How are you osc?

Cacoethes 14-10-2023 04:48 PM

The bus was on time luckily!
Chatted with this random guy the whole way back
Hard to understand, as he had learning difficulties but had a decent chat about various things!
Had my hair cut and had a couple of things to do in town, now I'm home

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 05:01 PM

Busy day. I'm wondering whether it's worth going to get my tablet from the charging room before dinner at twenty past. I think I probably will....

Cacoethes 14-10-2023 05:36 PM

Good idea!

tamobhuuta 14-10-2023 07:22 PM

I didn't in the end. I can't remember what I did.

Mum came to see me, she brought me a mint hot chocolate. She's coming to see me again tomorrow.

The hca I like is on tonight so I might ask for her help with my therapy skill.

long road 14-10-2023 07:30 PM

*waves at le thread*

Having a bit of weird one today. Like bad bits, good bits and I am just here for the ride floating around /watching life happen.

Am finally watching the last series of Jodie Whittaker's Doctor. Didn't get into it at the time. Just watched the 2021 new years special and now on first episode of series 13.

Cacoethes 14-10-2023 07:32 PM

Ooh yum!

Hey jen
Floating is better than nothing!

Hope you enjoy it!

long road 14-10-2023 08:09 PM

Well I somehow lost 40 minutes just tripping out on my own brain. Very odd.

Cacoethes 14-10-2023 08:23 PM

I managed to have the entire 5th HP movie on and not register a single second of it.
Before i knew it, it was the credits.
Which is unusual.
I can never focus, but i at least register what's going on!

So i kind of get the weirdness of the feeling jen!

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 08:06 AM

Morning everyone

Elmer 15-10-2023 08:13 AM

Morning! :)

How are you doing?

long road 15-10-2023 08:43 AM

What's the story, morning glory?

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 08:53 AM

Morning Lio and Jen!

I am questionable XD

How are you both?
Any exciting plans this sunny sunday?

Elmer 15-10-2023 08:58 AM

Sending hugs to help with the questionable-ness, Beckie. I hope you can have a good day despite it

Morning Jen, hope you're doing OK

No big plans just uni work for me today. Will probably go for a walk too, because I'm a deeply exciting person :wow:

long road 15-10-2023 09:18 AM

I too am questionable.

No set plans. Although need to get a move on with morning routine, have breakfast, do meds that have to be taken after food, maybe shower, get dressed. Do more breathing exercises.

But currently I am just sitting on the sofa, kind of feel stuck on sofa.

What are your modules on at uni at the moment Lio?

Walks can be good, especially at this time of year when the trees are changing. Colour very pretty.

Elmer 15-10-2023 09:30 AM

Hugs to you too Jen. I hope your day improves. *cheerleads to get off sofa*

My modules are the second core psychology module and a forensic psychology module :)

I'm quite looking forward to my walk - may head off now :)

tamobhuuta 15-10-2023 10:02 AM

Morning guys. I overslept and missed breakfast. Luckily Mum is visiting so she's bringing a muffin :) my exciting thing for the day is de-hairifying my underarms.

Elmer 15-10-2023 10:05 AM

Ooh, muffin! What flavour? I hope that dehairing your underarms is satisfying :)

tamobhuuta 15-10-2023 10:08 AM

Probably blueberry. I asked for chocolate, she suggested chocolate orange, i was like No, also no bits, if not possible then blueberry. So I suspect my fussiness means I'm getting blueberry!

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 10:18 AM

Thanks Lio :)

If the weather is the same where you are, it's a lovely morning for a walk!

There's no rush jen! Take things at your own pace

I prefer blueberry muffins to chocolate ones!

I went out and it seems like half of town is cooking bacon this morning!
Now i want a bacon roll!

tamobhuuta 15-10-2023 10:30 AM

Haa anyone tried facon? Is it any good?

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 10:32 AM

It's not great

one_step_closer 15-10-2023 10:35 AM

Morning everyone.

Hope you all have as good days as possible.

Enjoy your walk, Lio. I am too much of a wimp to go out because it's frosty.

Enjoy your muffin and de-hairifying, Tamo!

I have bacon. :) No bread or rolls though.

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 10:39 AM

Morning lindsay!

Thank you!

Do you have any plans?

Zurg 15-10-2023 10:48 AM

Morning everyone :)
I managed to say it just before it isn't officially morning here anymore :D

one_step_closer 15-10-2023 10:48 AM

I've done most of the main things I need to do. Changed my bedding, did a washing, cleaned my bathroom, and hoovered. Just need to clean Crookshanks bowls and mats after he has his dinner later.

one_step_closer 15-10-2023 10:49 AM

Ninja, Kat! How has your morning been?

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 10:52 AM

Morning zurg!
How are you?

Well done for being so productive lindsay!

I've been out, showered and stripped the bed.
Thinking of popping out for a hot chocolate. Just fancy one

Zurg 15-10-2023 10:54 AM

Hi Lindsay :)
My morning has been a wee bit weird. But Findus and i were just out on my balcony and then the furry beast refused to come back inside. I was a bit close to losing it (i'm a bit sensitive these days…) but i managed to stay calm and eventually he decided that the snack i put on the carpet was a better choice than staying out in the cold.
It's one of those days where i feel i am desperately clinging on to a feeling of being okay but i know it won't take a lot to make it all fall apart. I may require cookies at some point!!! Cookies are good for survival on difficult days!!!
How are you today??

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 11:05 AM

Cookies are indeed good for survival!

long road 15-10-2023 11:09 AM

I am probably going for a drive to the beach with my partner. Just making a coffee first. Think getting out of the house but not alone will help.

I like all of today's quoted foods and drinks,: bacon rolls, blueberry muffins, cookies, hot chocolate!

I might get a pasty at beach.

not_so_insig 15-10-2023 11:31 AM

Morning all. My cat is sitting next to me. I have no plans for today other than changing my bedding. Naff all on the telly.

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 11:46 AM

That sounds nice jen!

I got my hot chocolate!

tamobhuuta 15-10-2023 12:48 PM

Where did you get your hot chocolate from Cacoethes?

I'm just sitting down for lunch. No soup unfortunately.

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 12:56 PM

A local caf? in town

Ah that's sad. What're you having instead?

tamobhuuta 15-10-2023 12:59 PM

Snacky things my mum brought.

Elmer 15-10-2023 01:02 PM

Ohh, hot chocolate sounds so good right now

I hope you enjoy your lunch Tamo, even if it's not soup!

I went for my walk :) it was lovely

Have fun at the beach, Jen

Hi Lindsay, Dawn and Zurg :)

Cacoethes 15-10-2023 01:13 PM

Love a snacky lunch!

The hot chocolate was very good!

Glad you enjoyed your walk!
