You can literally just buy them online!
An emu chick was £20 if i remember correctly
There are breeders all over the place. You don't need to ship them from Australia!

Zurg 10-12-2022 09:26 AM

Omg!!! Seeing this info just improved this morning by 936% :D
An emu!!! I can get a pet emu <3

Also, morning all :)
How is everyone?

Cacoethes 10-12-2022 09:33 AM

Yes you can!

Morning!
I'm ok! Slight headache.
You?

tamobhuuta 10-12-2022 01:34 PM

Hello. I think I might have to get an emu too.

Cacoethes 10-12-2022 01:52 PM

Dooo it!

I am at work. Mum changed plans again and work needed people. So I had to break a work shirt out of the washing machine and dry it on the radiator XD

one_step_closer 10-12-2022 02:42 PM

I think I'll skip joining the Emu owners club, but, enjoy!

How long are you at work for, Beckie? I hope you have a good shift.

tamobhuuta 10-12-2022 02:49 PM

More monies though, right, Cacoethes?
Edit that sounds bad, obviously it would be best to see your mum!
How are you osc?
I want to watch a Christmas movie but My5 won't let me log on.

one_step_closer 10-12-2022 03:07 PM

Oh no, Tamo. Can you change your password or is something else wrong? My5 has so many Christmas films on it. Can you access another catch up player that might have some?

I'm trying to be ok.

tamobhuuta 10-12-2022 05:03 PM

I tried to change my password but haven't received the email. Luckily disney+ have some. I'm watching miracle on 34th street.

*offers hugs*

one_step_closer 10-12-2022 05:42 PM

I think the Home Alone films are my favourites although I'm not much of a film person. People keep telling me to watch Elf so I've ordered it and hope I can make myself watch it.

Zurg 10-12-2022 06:36 PM

Elf is a seriously good movie!!!! I'm not really a fan of Christmas movies but Elf and the Muppets version of A Christmas Carol, they make me go woop, woop :D

I've spent the day at my friends' place, being loved by their tiny and, oh-so cute chihuahua <3

not_so_insig 10-12-2022 07:09 PM

Santa Claus the movie is my favourite film. I even referenced it when I wrote to Judy Cornwell.

Cacoethes 10-12-2022 07:56 PM

I wouldn't be seeing my mum anyway tamo! I never see her apart from a wave when she drops jasmine off lol

Was only at work until 5

tamobhuuta 10-12-2022 08:36 PM

I thought you said your mum changed her plans Cacoethes?

L fixed my5, she basically turned it off and on again!

Cacoethes 10-12-2022 08:56 PM

Yeah. They were going sofa shopping in London (because they can't shop online like normal people) and I was going to look after jasmine. But she changed plans.

Awesome!

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 09:06 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 12:34 PM

Morning :)

I had a visit from my mum just now.

one_step_closer 11-12-2022 12:47 PM

Morning, almost afternoon. How are you all?

Did you have a nice visit, Tamo?

Zurg 11-12-2022 01:16 PM

Hello all :)
Hope it was a nice visit, Tamo.
How is everyone?

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 01:27 PM

It was a nice visit.

For some reason the nurse has decided I'm not allowed to keep the bag I keep my laundry in, in my room.

one_step_closer 11-12-2022 03:06 PM

Hi Kat, how are you?

I'm not sure how I am.

I'm glad you had a nice visit, Tamo. Does it bother you that you don't have the bag?

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 03:51 PM

Yes, just because it seems arbitrary, I can't hurt myself with it and I've had it in my room since my last ward rounds.

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 04:01 PM

Nurses often randomly decide thing that make no sense.
I once had my wooden hairbrush and toothpaste (but not everything else?) Taken away. I honestly do not understand their logic, if there is any.

I'm with Jasmine. We've been to my work for lunch, then asda and peacocks! Now watching aladdin.

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 04:05 PM

What's peacocks? Original aladdin or live action version?

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 04:32 PM

It's a clothes shop!
Jasmine needed some gloves.

Live action version

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 04:54 PM

Ah cool

one_step_closer 11-12-2022 05:50 PM

Sounds like you and Jasmine are having a good day, Beckie.

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 06:14 PM

Yes we have had a good day!
She's just been picked up.
Need to shower tonight. Booo!

one_step_closer 11-12-2022 06:58 PM

Have you got nice smelling shampoo and shower gel to make it a bit more pleasant?

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 07:17 PM

I have showered now!
My showers are super short anyway, it's just effort!

maii 11-12-2022 08:06 PM

I do live VO5 shampoo (2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner)

Its really cheap now here.

Hi everyone - I hope you're all doing well.

Peacock here is a free (and paid) streaming movie and show network, but hardly any selection for us free users nowadays. :indifferent:

not_so_insig 11-12-2022 08:16 PM

We used to have a Peacocks in the city centre but it closed several years ago. We have a Primark though. Plus a Smyth's toy store.

nonperson 11-12-2022 08:34 PM

Evening all.

Hope you're all staying warm!

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 08:35 PM

Np! Its been forever!

not_so_insig 11-12-2022 08:36 PM

It's flipping brass monkeys outside nonperson. I have been to the seaside today.

nonperson 11-12-2022 08:41 PM

Beckie! Not quite forever =P

It's the same here, Dawn. I was out walking around a garden today. The frosty/misty views were amazing.

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 09:01 PM

No, it HAS been forever! :tongue2:

Yep was freezing. Jasmine moaned the whole time we were walking :plain:
It wasn't even a long walk! Only 30 mins!
But i guess if you're used to getting chauffeured around, it seems like a long walk!
Well, the walk back was a bit longer because we went into town before home.

nonperson 11-12-2022 09:14 PM

=P

Youngsters like to moan about anything!

But then again, oldies do too I suppose. And Brits especially like to moan about everything. It's not like we've not been cold before and don't know what to expect in winter!

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 09:20 PM

Well, if we didn't have the weather to moan about, what would we talk about at hairdressers and in shops??
It does get a bit tiresome when you end up having the same conversation about the cold with every.single.customer. Though i guess it's nice to mix it up a bit from 'is pepsi ok?' And 'sorry we don't have J20'
If i had a £ for every time I said those things, I wouldn't have to work anymore!

nonperson 11-12-2022 09:30 PM

I don't talk to anyone in hairdressers or shops!

But the real question is WHY DON'T YOU HAVE J20?!

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 09:39 PM

I'm a chatterbox. I talk to everyone everywhere XD

I honestly don't know!
We have mango and passionfruit juice, pineapple coconut and lime, apple, orange and cranberry. So most people just go for the mango and passionfruit instead of J20.
I think we should have it, people ask for it all the time.

nonperson 11-12-2022 09:48 PM

Haha XD

I guess those things aren't really any different. J20 is just synonymous with any mixed fruit juice really. Must be hard explaining it to customers though!

nonperson 11-12-2022 09:49 PM

I have hiccups...!

Cacoethes 11-12-2022 09:56 PM

Some people get proper upset about it. It's weird!
And about the pepsi.
Like I have any control over it :eyeroll:

Oh no!
I've always found yogurt stops my hiccups!

tamobhuuta 11-12-2022 10:11 PM

We got snow!
I'm waiting for night meds. I want to go to bed.

Cacoethes 12-12-2022 09:44 AM

Morning everyone!

Quite a bit of snow.
The walk to work is going to be fun!

not_so_insig 12-12-2022 11:39 AM

Morning all. It's flipping freezing. Unfortunately I have my coronavirus booster jab today so I have to go outside today.

Cacoethes 12-12-2022 11:45 AM

It is freezing. I have work and groovefit.

tamobhuuta 12-12-2022 01:59 PM

I made a mini snowman yesterday evening!
