Morning Lindsay!

I'll sometimes listen to music but currently I have Gone With The Wind on the tv in the background.

I've been going to Tesco a lot more recently but only really go if I have a bigger shop to do and need to use the trolley self-service instead of the basket one!

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 12:55 PM

Morning gang!

Weather update from the North of England: rainy and windy but not alarmingly so, by the looks of it.

not_so_insig 27-12-2023 01:41 PM

Afternoon all. Weather update from Wales: it's currently bouqueting it down and quite windy. If you get the reference then 10 points to you.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 01:45 PM

I have lindsay!
The most boring kind of tour XD

Good old self service np!

Hello jenna! How are you?

Hard not to get the reference when it's under your username dawn :tongue2:

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 01:49 PM

I'm OK thanks Beckie! I stayed up until half 3 doing maths last night, classic me.

How are you?

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 01:58 PM

Ugh. Maths! *shudders*
I honestly don't understand why you enjoy it!

I'm ok thanks.
Just been to get my euros!

nonperson 27-12-2023 02:12 PM

Maths for fun until 3:30??

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 02:24 PM

Yeah, it was this advent calendar thing where you have 24 problems to solve and then that creates a logic problem to give a code. K and I just got very engrossed and then it was half 3, but we cracked it and have entered to win a prize. Nerdy joy.

When are you going away Beckie - I saw something about Rome; how exciting!

How's the house-sorting going np?

Ahimsa 27-12-2023 02:30 PM

Hey all!

Cold, wet and windy here too.

I have managed to buy the frames I was meant to get last Monday so I can put my prints up tonight, drop a load of stuff at the charity shop and drive to my piercer! I'm just on route from the car now.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 02:32 PM

Well, each to their own i guess!
I do not do maths unless i absolutely HAVE to!
And pretty much the only time i have to is counting out change at work XD

i am going Friday until Tuesday!

Well done beth!

nonperson 27-12-2023 02:50 PM

I can appreciate nerdy joy regardless of the subject matter =)

House cleaning is going ok. I seem to be making good progress although the cat is fast asleep on my bed so that's scuppering the bed changing/mattress flipping plans at the moment. I have also got a shopping list ready for later.

Gonna have a break and do some yoga now though.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 02:55 PM

Sounds like you're doing well np!

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 03:24 PM

Haha, cat troll! Hope you enjoy your yoga :)

Oh wow that's soon Beckie! Was it a surprise Christmas gift or did you know about it before?

Well done Beth; we're all doing well getting jobs done today it seems.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 03:49 PM

This was a planned one jenna!
Think L booked flights about a month ago, but we'd been talking about it before that.

Just been to the pharmacy.
It was closed this morning due to a leak, they are open now but they said meds would be done in 30 mins. I had nothing to do in town and the weather is SO grim so i knew if i came home, i would not be leaving the house again! So I'm gonna get it tomorrow

one_step_closer 27-12-2023 04:35 PM

I got 13% in my Higher maths prelim so dropped out after that! I'm glad you have your thing though, Jenna.

Well done, Beth. What kind of prints are you putting up?

Amazing stuff, NP!

Have you got enough meds to last till tomorrow, Beckie?

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 04:41 PM

Yeah. I run out on Friday morning.

tamobhuuta 27-12-2023 05:02 PM

Hi everyone. I'm wondering whether to get my paints out.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 05:07 PM

Do it tamo!

maii 27-12-2023 05:20 PM

Good morning all!


Weather update for New England USA today.

Feels like
‎54?

Light rain is expected during the day. The high will be 49?.

Ahimsa 27-12-2023 05:23 PM

Ooh what are you going to paint?

I'm on route home now (well I'm sat in the car on here instead of starting the engine), I got some super good charity shop bargains

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 05:27 PM

Love a charity shop bargain!

tamobhuuta 27-12-2023 06:56 PM

I'm painting a triptych for myself. I started the central panel which is the virgin Mary.

nonperson 27-12-2023 07:01 PM

Guuyyyyysssssss, I've just spent all day cleaning and my sister has cancelled her visit because she has covid...! D=

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 07:04 PM

Sounds cool tamo!

Oh noooo np!
But at least you have a clean house out of it!

nonperson 27-12-2023 07:07 PM

Oops, didn't see your post, tamo! That's nice you're doing one for yourself too. Was your godmother pleased with her one? (If I've correctly remembered who it was for...?)

I know, Beckie but just... just argh! I've literally flopped on my bed and now don't know what to do with myself.

At least I won't be going to Tesco tonight after all.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 07:12 PM

Last minute change of plans can be unsettling!
But yay to not having to go to tesco!

Oh goodness, I need to keep up better! I did go to your thread after I asked and saw you mentioning a holiday and that was before Christmas so realised I must have been slacking!

Maii, thank you for an excellent weather update! Pretty similar temperature to here.

np, what an absolute fiasco! Such big changes to plans are very distressing so my thoughts are with you. You do know what this means though...?

How's the painting going tamo?

Also hi Lindsay! How are you doing?

not_so_insig 27-12-2023 07:35 PM

Hello all.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 07:40 PM

Tell me jenna, how many of my RVs did you have to catch up on when you decided to stop pretending to be dead? :tongue2:

OMG THAT DIDN'T EVEN CROSS MY MIND!! =D

Ahimsa 27-12-2023 08:13 PM

Guys guys guys sorry to interrupt but I've just had an email with some good news about my case!

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 08:14 PM

That's great beth!

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 08:25 PM

Evening all!

How are you Dawn?

Beckie, I was only pretending to be dead from anything social on here that might be seen as a benefit to me (#reasons) so I was still modding and RV-reading so I didn't get too far behind :P

np, tsk. Luckily I'm unnervingly enthusiastic about socialising with you so was on hand to remind you!

Beth, amazing news. If anyone deserves good news atm it's got to be you.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 08:27 PM

Ah that's a shame jenna.
I was hoping to have beaten my unread post record :tongue2:

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 08:29 PM

Haha, that was such an event trying to catch up!

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 08:30 PM

Also np knows the full story and has rated my reasoning for pretending to be dead as very silly so I guess no more fake deaths for me!

tamobhuuta 27-12-2023 08:31 PM

She said she liked it. This one's going OK.

nonperson 27-12-2023 08:32 PM

I don't think I said it was silly! Just that it wasn't justified at all.

Cacoethes 27-12-2023 08:32 PM

Must try harder....

I wouldn't be able to fake my death. I'm too nosy and also surgically attatched to my phone.
Which is why any attempt at leaving the country to avoid hospital would likely fail before i got to an airport XD

That's good tamo!

not_so_insig 27-12-2023 08:37 PM

I am not so great Jenna.

Pi.R^2 27-12-2023 10:43 PM

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Dawn. Sending sympathy.

maii 27-12-2023 11:37 PM

I'm sorry, insig; I'm struggling myself. Very rough day.

Ahimsa 28-12-2023 03:54 AM

Sending love to those who need it

maii 28-12-2023 04:17 AM

Thank you, Ahimsa ... desperately needed ... and also sending love to everyone.

nonperson 28-12-2023 06:04 AM

Morning all... :plain:

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 06:20 AM

Morning np!
How are you?

nonperson 28-12-2023 06:30 AM

Hey Beckie. I'm ok, just very not asleep.

How're you?

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 06:44 AM

I know the feeling!

I'm ok. Just vibing my way through life, as usual!

nonperson 28-12-2023 06:58 AM

4am seems to be my daily wake up time at the moment. Really can't get back to sleep today.

Tesco opens at 7am!

Vibing is the only way to do it sometimes.

Cacoethes 28-12-2023 07:01 AM

Can relate.
It's annoying af and makes the day seem a million hours long!
No one wants that.

I live most of my life on vibes
