I haven't had a fry up in forever!
Excellent choice!
And you should definitely aquire cake at some point!

That sounds tough Luce.
Let's hope the phobia eventually goes away! If it hasn't been there forever, hopefully it can also go away!

Thank you!
I get up early anyway, so it always feels later than it is!
I always get annoyed that aldi doesn't open until 8am and tattoo/piercing studio doesn't open until 10am! Everything needs to open earlier to accommodate me specifically :tongue2:

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 12:23 PM

I am now not working tonight! Woohoo!
E just called me. Apparently a manager was looking at the board for tonight and there are far too many people in and they needed to cut a couple of people. So she called me immediately because she knows i was stressed about it! Bless her!
So i may be going to A's to watch coraline with her and E :-D

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 12:37 PM

I'm terrible at wrapping, so wish me luck!

Have fun watching your movie Cacoethes.

I hate being in water Abstract. But cake is goooood.

I hope your cat is OK at the vets insig.

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 12:47 PM

Good luck tamo!
It's the thought and present that matter anyway!
I'm sure L will be pleased no matter how it's wrapped!

Thank you!
We're going to meet at aldi first for snacks. Which is good because that means i don't have to deal with the awkwardness of trying to find A's house XD

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 12:54 PM

Ah good plan!

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 01:20 PM

Yep! I am looking forward to it!

Neighbour has finished cleaning. I can relax a bit now!

Accidentally Abstract 25-08-2023 01:41 PM

Glad your shift got cancelled and you have much more fun plans now Beckie!! :D

I went for an omelette in the end, but it was yummy. They know me so well in there now that they know which condiments to offer me, and when I walked in the lady just shouted over "decaf coffee?" haha.

I hope the phobia goes away or lessens at some point too, but my therapist doesn't seem to think there's much that can be done about it because it's not something which you can use exposure therapy or anything with really, so yeah, time will tell.

Good luck with the wrapping Tamo! And I generally like water, used to love baths and not mind showers - it's just this damn anxiety!

I'm gonna head off into town a bit early I think. Work is so quiet that I think I can knock off a little bit early and just keep an eye on my emails from my phone. I'm gonna pop into a tattoo studio as well today.

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 01:43 PM

Thank you!

Haha! I love it when places do that!

Yeah i guess so

Ooh tattoo studio!
Are you thinking of getting something?

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 01:54 PM

I wrapped the present! It was easier than I expected.

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 02:32 PM

Well done!
I say you need a cup of tea as a reward :tongue2:

I'm in town again!
I got my parcel, but the t shirt was too big, so had to go and print off the label at the newsagents and stick the label on to now bring it to the post office. I brough my sellotape with me. Also took something to the charity shop while I'm here!

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 02:57 PM

Very organised Cacoethes.

I had a hot chocolate - both reward and soothing.

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 03:17 PM

Thanks!
Also remembered i needed chewing gum but couldn't find any in aldi this morning, so i went to asda.
It has been a successful day!

Lovely!

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 03:57 PM

My support worker is so on the ball. She phoned to check I'd got my prescription and to encourage me to actually use it. She said my CPN will be back next Wednesday so I wonder if I will hear from him!

Excellent news (did I share this already?) Casualty is back on tomorrow!

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 04:05 PM

That's good of her!

Nice! I don't watch it anymore, but it was always good!

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 06:09 PM

It seems people have lives this evening :(

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 06:11 PM

I don't! Yet!
Still waiting to hear if i still have plans/what they are
Tried to do performance review but it was coming up with i couldn't submit to manager because I needed to press save, but the save button was blanked out so i physically couldn't save it! Gah!
I'll try and sort it on sunday when I'm at work

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 06:23 PM

Oh dear.

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 06:26 PM

Very irritating!
I like to get these things over and done with!

nonperson 25-08-2023 06:31 PM

Hello all.

I don't have a life this evening =)

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 06:32 PM

Hi np, have you been up to much?

nonperson 25-08-2023 06:48 PM

Not really. Just work as usual. =/

What're you doing with your evening tamo?

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 06:50 PM

Work wasn't great then?

Right now I'm watching TV but then it will be dinner time - curry!

nonperson 25-08-2023 06:57 PM

Work is... complicated. Sometimes good but with an overtone of crap.

Oooh curry! Yum.

I will be having pizza =)

Cacoethes 25-08-2023 07:06 PM

Hey np!

Mmm pizza!
What kind of pizza?

one_step_closer 25-08-2023 07:20 PM

Hi NP, hope you're ok.

Mmm, curry.

I have gone off pizza.

nonperson 25-08-2023 07:20 PM

Nothing special - a frozen vegetable jobbie. Had olives on it though... but I thankfully couldn't taste them.

nonperson 25-08-2023 07:22 PM

Ninja Lindsay. I'm ok enough. =/

Oh no! What has caused you to go off pizza?!

one_step_closer 25-08-2023 07:25 PM

Jobbie means poo in Scotland!

I've never really been a big fan of pizza. I must just be weird.

nonperson 25-08-2023 07:32 PM

Ahahah! In southern slang it just means, I dunno, a "thing". I'm not sure I can define it properly.

The pizza was quite nice actually, definitely not poo =P

You're not weird. I don't like coffee and that's something everyone seems to like too.

tamobhuuta 25-08-2023 07:51 PM

My curry was yum. I hope you enjoy your dinners.

Zurg 25-08-2023 08:49 PM

Hi all :)

I have quite a few friends who don't get the hype about coffee, NP. I've run into a lot more of those than i anticipated i would when i was younger.
Tbf, coffee needs to be administered slowly and increased slowly too. I taught myself to drink coffee in the morning when i was 15. I cheated and had some cookies while trying to ignore the taste that i REALLY didn't like at first XD

Mmmm, Tamo, curry!!! You lucky bastard!!! ;)

I am, yes! I've given them my idea and we'll see what they come back with. I'm also getting an existing one updated/amended a bit. :)

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a nice evening. I didn't have dinner until not very long ago - my timings for eating have been weird the last couple of days! I'm now going to have a look for some decent case studies through my module materials to use in my assignment. I now have an essay plan and will need to get my head down tomorrow and Monday - wish me luck!

long road 26-08-2023 06:17 AM

Good luck with your assignment Luce!

Morning everyone!

I just woke up from a very odd dream / nightmare. It involved vampires but that was one of the more normal parts about it!

Cacoethes 26-08-2023 06:55 AM

Morning!

That doesn't sound great jen!

long road 26-08-2023 08:40 AM

I have had better dreams!

Managed to get back to sleep for a bit afterwards though!

Cacoethes 26-08-2023 08:44 AM

Good! Bad sleep really can mess you up for the day!
Anything planned?

long road 26-08-2023 09:29 AM

No major plans. Just hanging out with parents some more. Will probably play some more boardgames, chat etc.

tamobhuuta 26-08-2023 10:05 AM

Morning everyone.

tamobhuuta 26-08-2023 10:35 AM

I'm curled up with painkillers and a hot water bottle due to period pains. I think it's helping.

Big sis is coming round soon. She's off to France this afternoon with her husband.

one_step_closer 26-08-2023 11:00 AM

Morning everyone. Sending good day wishes.

I hope you continue to enjoy your time with your parents, Jen.

What are you up to today, Beckie?

Poor you, Tamo. How long will your sister be in France?

tamobhuuta 26-08-2023 11:17 AM

10 days. And one of those days she's working from 'home'. How are you?

Cacoethes 26-08-2023 12:22 PM

Afternoon everyone!

Sounds like people have decent days planned today!

I went for coffee with someone i know, just been for a run, showered, put some washing on because my clothes from last night stink of smoke XD
Have a GP phone call hopefully around 2:30pm, wax at 3:30pm (i really hope GP doesn't call at that time!) And then going to L's tonight for movie night.
I'm going to see if i have time to bake some fairy cakes too. Should do.

You up to much lindsay?

not_so_insig 26-08-2023 12:32 PM

Afternoon all. I am sitting here waiting for my tesco shopping order to come. I had it early because of the fact that Monday is a Bank Holiday and I had a double points coupon. It expired on Monday so I couldn't have an order on Tuesday as double points is an awful lot to lose.

one_step_closer 26-08-2023 12:34 PM

Hope your GP call goes ok and you enjoy your movie night. What kind of icing do you put on your fairy cakes?

I went to the chemist and Tesco then did a washing and cleaned my kitchen and bathroom. Just finished the book I was reading which was a really good one. Have to try and put curtains up in my bedroom at some point which I hope won't be a disaster because they are too wide and too long but I couldn't get any at the right size.

one_step_closer 26-08-2023 12:35 PM

Hi, Dawn. Hope your Tesco order arrives ok and has everything you asked for.

tamobhuuta 26-08-2023 12:35 PM

Hi Cacoethes. I hope the fairy cakes go well.

What are you doing to pass the time insig?

not_so_insig 26-08-2023 12:43 PM

I have 2 substitutions and no unavailable items. Strangely enough my peppermint tea appears to be the exact one I asked for. The other substitution is acceptable.

not_so_insig 26-08-2023 12:44 PM

Tamobhuuta I am doing random internetting.

Cacoethes 26-08-2023 02:10 PM

Thanks guys!

No call from gp yet. But it is not yet 2:30

I tend to put buttercream icing on. This time I've got some mini jammie dodgers as a cake decoration, so they will stick better with buttercream!

Good luck with your curtains lindsay!
I'm glad you enjoyed your book

It is raining lots

tamobhuuta 26-08-2023 02:15 PM

Thundering here!
