Sorry you're feeling ill. It's good not to spread the germs.
I've got my monthly prayer group.

Thanks tamo

I hope prayer group is good!

I hope you're feeling fully better soon Beckie.

I hope you enjoy your prayer group Tamo.

Thanks lindsay

Are you up to much today?

I've already washed my hair and done a lateral flow test (negative thankfully). Need to change my bedding and put a wash on. Nothing exciting. I was going to go to Tesco but it might be cold and I can't be bothered.

What about you? Taking it easy?

Well done for washing your hair. I need to do that too.
I'm glad your test was negative!
It's sunny here but still a bit chilly.
But it's always colder in Scotland so maybe stay in if you don't desperately need anything!

I am taking it easy.
But I did do some washing, put away washing and took the rubbish and recycling out.
I do feel a lot better. Should be ok for work tomorrow!

Morning everyone!

Hiya, how are you?

I'm good thanks!
About to leave for work

How are you?

I'm having a coffee. And it's my birthday!

Happy birthday Tamo!

*decorates the thread with balloons and cake*

Thanks np. I love balloons!

Who doesn't!

Are you doing anything different or special to celebrate?

Happy birthday tamobhuuta.

Happy Birthday Tamo, I hope you have a good day.

Hope your shift goes well Beckie.

How are you NP and Dawn?

I am ok thanks Lindsay.

I'm glad to hear that. What are you up to today?

I have looked through my wardrobe to see if there's anything to give to the charity shop (there wasn't!) and I am sorting through my art supplies (again to go to the charity shop).

L has made cake and we're having takeaway for dinner.
I did that insig, I think i threw out maybe some pyjamas.

A lot of charity shops here say to call before you bring donations. It's nice to donate things though. Won't you need your art stuff Dawn? Do you just have too much or are you stopping?

That sounds good having cake and a takeaway Tamo. I hope you enjoy/have enjoyed it. What kind of cake is it?

I bought an easel for my 10 year SI free anniversary reward and it came with some paints and pastels. I am very fussy about my art supplies so they're not the quality I use. So I won't use them and it was actually more expensive to buy the easel without the art supplies than with. It also came with some canvases which I am going to use. It's unused so I thought that the charity shop might as well sell it rather than being unappreciated/gathering dust.

Cake and takeaway sounds perfect for a birthday treat. What takeaway?

I'm ok enough thanks, Lindsay. How's your day been?

We had red velvet cake and dinner is Indian.

That's a good reward insig.

Happy birthday tamo!

Is something up with fb and WhatsApp?

Yep it was just on the news, something about it all being down. Facebook had to report it on Twitter, haha.

It's alarming how much control fb and its apps have over my life. I've resorted to Twitter and Reddit for my doomscrolling.

I hope you're all OK.

Oh noooo! D:

I'm ok apart from lack of WhatsApp and Facebook!
Hope you're ok too Lio!

It's a crisis I have to admit.

It really is
How long has it been down?

Fuel and Facebook crises... The world really is coming to an end.

Yes Lorraine and I usually WhatsApp each other so we are resorting to text. I have gone off Facebook but I use it for local news so idk what is happening lately.

The end is nigh!

I’m too addicted to Instagram. I feel truly lost.

I’m in a not really tutorial. Should pay more attention.

I'm not really that into Instagram.
It's mainly fb and WhatsApp for the work group chat

What's the tutorial on?

It's about how to use the software, but my wifi keeps cutting out so I'm going to just watch the recording and try to get my act together to change my internet provider as this is an ongoing issue

Sounds like a good plan!

Me and Luna went to an in person tutorial once.
Except we were late and felt too self conscious going in so we went to the pub instead

lol Beckie XD

Facebook is working for me but WhatsApp isnt.

Perfect.

The OU aren’t doing any in person events this academic year, which is a shame.

Everything’s back! I’m not sure if I’m relieved or missing out on a journey of self discovery…

Yaaay Facebook and WhatsApp!

Good morning guys!

I wasn't affected by the kerfuffle, I didn't want to use fb anyway.
Morning guys.

Morning tamo!
How are you?

I am ok thanks. I think my godmother is calling this afternoon which will be nice. How are you?

Glad you're ok
That will be nice :)

I'm still in lots of pain but otherwise ok!

That sucks. Can you take painkillers?

I've been taking paracetamol regularly for days. Doesn't touch the pain!
I spoke to a paramedic at drs today and I need another x ray.

Morning all. My parcel is due to arrive today sometime. Unfortunately tracking doesn't give a time. It sounds wet and windy here today so it's a good job that I dont want to go out. I have a purring cat next to me.

My cpn will be coming at some point soon
And a parcel at some point

I'm looking forward to a parcel for my mum because she said it's a present for me!

Sorry the paracetamol isn't working Cacoethes.

Is your parcel exciting insig?

How exciting tamo!

Thanks. The paramedic recommended deep heat so I'll get some of that tomorrow
