No idea as never tried it but that was how it seemed to work on the evri advert. I however dont trust adverstising to be entirely accurate.

Hello everyone

nonperson 10-04-2023 07:49 PM

Thanks. I'd have preferred to drop it at the post office but that didn't seem to be an option... It is probably more complicated than adverts make out! Oh well...

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 08:05 PM

I really want a burrito.
Still pining for that burrito i had with lana at southbank. When Jenna was annoyed with her for breaking curfew, if i remember correctly

Unbreakable. 10-04-2023 08:11 PM

One day we'll find you another burrito and carousel.
Maybe without triggering Jenna's wrath.

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 08:13 PM

A wild Lana appears!

I hope so <3

I want to hear more about the carousel. Was it a horse one or did it have a medley of animals?

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 08:35 PM

It was a traditional old school carousel!

Legit

Love an old school fairground ride.

Do you remember those metal chair swings that spin round at ridiculous speeds?

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 08:54 PM

Old school carousel sounds cute!! That's my level of ride!

I have bad period pains so I'm going to make some loose leaf tea and get cosy I thinks.

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 09:01 PM

Yes the metal chair swings! Loved them

It was so much fun tbf
And really late at night/possibly early morning, i can't remember. So random that it was still open. I think we were the only ones there.

Good plan!
I do not miss period pains at all.
Break out the hot water bottle and ice cream!

long road 10-04-2023 09:08 PM

Random late night shennanigans are the best kind of shennanigans. Being the only ones on the carousel is extra cool.

I went to an adventure playground with Lana in a zoo in Germany and managed to injure myself on the seesaw. Carousel sounds much safer!

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 09:12 PM

I quite agree!

I feel like Lana is the source of all shenanigans

long road 10-04-2023 09:15 PM

Shennanigans definitely increase in frequency when in proximity of Lana!

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 09:19 PM

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
Firstly, Dawn why don’t you go to your closest Chiquito’s???? Or do you live 9 miles away from the city I used as your location?

Secondly, I won’t be mocked for Lana’s ‘curfew’. If memory serves I was preparing High Quality Cuisine and had made clear the time of serving before she went out gallivanting on the Southbank with young Beckie. She then did not return in time to consume the cuisine I had lovingly prepared and in fact stayed out until after I’d gone to bed!

I've been to one in Bristol, 85 miles away. Do I get a mention for the person who has traveled the furthest to go to one?

Edit: although thinking about it, it would have been 176 miles away from where I was living at the time.

Lol no, I went to Pizza Hut. I don’t even like mexican food.

Also no!! You’re as bad as Jen who’s been texting me making up reasons why she should get another mention in the hall of fame, based on spurious claims about a chiquitos that may or may not have existed several years ago!!

Wasn't mocking, just found it amusing how Jenna that seemed. Was the High Quality Cuisine Nudelauflauf?
If so Lana was clearly very irresponsible.

Outing me to the thread! The shame!! Plus I have photographic evidence of my partner in that Chiquito's circa 2018 and regularly drove past it so :p

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 09:30 PM

That's kind of understandable then Jenna!

I went to a mexican restaurant at prague Airport. But i don't think it was chiquitos. I actually just googled the restaurants and there is no mexican there at all. So maybe i hallucinated the beer and burrito...

I have hot water bottle and cats, ice cream hurts my teeth :(

I think all I'm going to do before bed is
- Make a sammich for sustenance as I didnt have dinner
- Make tomorrows work smoothie.

XD

We've all gone mad...

I missed a load of posts and now that is all out of context.

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 09:34 PM

Not too much left to do then Beth, should get to bed in decent time? Have you got a busy day tomorrow?

Lol Beckie!

Also Jen is now texting me pictures of the alleged Chiquitos. I’m ignoring her.

Unbreakable. 10-04-2023 09:37 PM

I feel attacked :(
I think the food was either veggie lasagna or veggie cannelloni?
And Jenna was back to work the next day I think???
It was understandable that she was grumpy.

I wouldn't know I'm the source of *all* shenanigans but I guess I'm responsible for some!

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 09:50 PM

Yess, cannelloni I think! Spinach and riccotta. Also I think I had to make it twice because a glass saucepan lid fell off the top of the oven and smashed into the ragu :P

Canelonni is serious business food I can see why you were grumpy Jenna.

Yeah, I have both jobs on Tuesday so I'm working 7:45 - 4:45, and then from 8. And I have 3 phone calls to make, booo!

Spinach and ricotta sounds YUM!

Boo to phone calls!

What you having in your sandwich?

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:06 PM

I keep forgetting it's Tuesday tomorrow.
The long weekend plus hospital has really thrown me off!

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 10:10 PM

LongRoad - just tuna mayo, nothing exciting! It's too late for cheese.

Have you heard any more about what's happening Beckie?

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:15 PM

Love tuna mayo! With sweetcorn also though!

As far as i know, still waiting for a psych bed to become available. Which could take forever!
But at least it'll be normal weekday tomorrow so fingers crossed things start moving!

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 10:16 PM

I can't believe they gave yours away, how RUDE!

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:32 PM

I know! After 2 days! I don't really know what they expected me to do after discharge XD
Apparently they are desperate for beds. When are they not though. Swear there's been a bed crisis since the invention of hospitals XD

long road 10-04-2023 10:32 PM

I have some bad news for you Beckie. There is a junior Doctors strike from tomorrow until Saturday Morning. So things may not get sorted

not_so_insig 10-04-2023 10:33 PM

Jenna the Chiquitos I go to is in a retail park which has more to do simply because its bigger. Also because I can't drive it's easier for my parents to get to rather than my nearest.

I like tuna mayo. Apart from the one time I bought one from a convention centre and they had mixed red pepper into it!

Did your cats come begging when they smelt the sandwich?

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 10:34 PM

Unfortunately I cannot go to work tomorrow, I asked one of the cats what she thought and she meowed, which I reckon was a solid no.

Long Road, they got the tuna spring water! They're very happy!

I wonder if your manager would accept your Cat's testimony as an excuse. They might seeing as you work for a vet hospital.

Yay happy Kitty's!

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:38 PM

No junior docs just means more consultants.
Might make ward round a bit slower but i think the general consensus is that things run a bit smoother.
And I'm also only waiting for a psych bed, so i don't really need to see any of the ward doctors anyway.

I don't know how i feel about tuna mayo and red pepper!

I think the cat is right!

not_so_insig 10-04-2023 10:41 PM

I hate raw peppers so I wouldn't be impressed if there was pepper in my tuna mayo.

Well that's a relief that it hopefully shouldn't slow things down too much for you. Hope they sort a bed soon.

As someone who has a food intolerance to peppers I was very annoyed. Ended up giving sandwich away to a friend.

Cats are always right

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:51 PM

Fingers crossed!
Just want to get out of here!

Ugh how annoying!

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 10:52 PM

I think tuna mayo is the thing I miss most of all being a vegan!!

Also I’m glad I don’t have to edit my chart AGAIN Dawn :P

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 10:55 PM

What is your chart please?

Cacoethes 10-04-2023 10:56 PM

If i were vegan, it would be cheese.
Vegan cheese is gross
And i frickin love cheese

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 10:59 PM

What is your chart please?

Also, I am going to have my meds and get cosy in bed.

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 11:09 PM

Beckie:in my experience vegan cheese is gross to start with, but honestly it gets better as you get used to it and Cathedral city have brought out a vegan cheese which is divine! But yeah, I absolutely would have agreed with you at the start!

Beth: I printed off a map of the UK and plotted you all and your nearest Chiquito’s. Because y’no, why not.

Sounds good, hope you sleep well! I should also go to bed as it’s past my bedtime.

Ahimsa 10-04-2023 11:11 PM

Oh THAT chart! I didnt realise you had a physical thing too.

Pi.R^2 10-04-2023 11:12 PM

There is someone on here whose mum is a big fan of me mainly because she knows I often makes charts and therefore must a Reliable and Respectable Sort…

long road 10-04-2023 11:33 PM

I just had a shower. It was too late for a shower but I really wanted one and hadn't had one in like a week so I rebelliously showered.

long road 10-04-2023 11:35 PM

I am not vegan but a lot of the family are dairy free so I end up eating substitutes from time to time
Violife is my favourite maker of fake cheese.

Cacoethes 11-04-2023 06:54 AM

I like a lot of vegan food.
We have a vegan cafe in my town now!
Getting a bit boujee

Well done for showering!
Sometimes you just have to do it when the mood takes you

Morning everyone

nonperson 11-04-2023 09:03 AM

Morning all.

Cathedral City cheese is gooooood so I'd have high hopes for the vegan version.

I have a fun filled day ahead of waiting for one parcel to be delivered, one parcel to be collected and another parcel to maybe be collected but who knows because it was meant to be arranged for today except I have had no confirmation. *eye roll*
