Good plan Tamo!

tamobhuuta 29-11-2023 06:18 PM

According to my phone it is 17:17 this pleases me. Does anyone else like it when numbers match?

not_so_insig 29-11-2023 07:03 PM

Finally I have got WhatsApp to recognise uk English. I just have the horrible task of signing into everything and trying to remember my passwords.

Zurg 29-11-2023 07:16 PM

Jen, you will have to wear a helmet to bed from now on!!! Along with elbows- and knee pads for protection!!! And maybe you should strap yourself to the bed too!!! Can't be too careful!!!

one_step_closer 29-11-2023 07:42 PM

Do you not store your passwords anywhere, Dawn?

Numbers matching can be satisfying, Tamo, I agree.

Definitely a big load of bubble wrap for you, Jen!

How are you, Kat?

not_so_insig 29-11-2023 08:17 PM

No I don't because I am scared of them getting stolen. Some like PayPal I use a lot so can remember them but other things that I don't use too often I can't remember. Some passwords have automatically transferred across though.

tamobhuuta 29-11-2023 09:45 PM

My fave hca is on tonight :)

long road 29-11-2023 09:47 PM

Hooray! Always better when their are good staff.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 08:29 AM

Morning everyone

Zurg 30-11-2023 09:37 AM

Morning Beckie :)
How ar you today???

We're having snow. It's hilarious. All the city busses are cancelled the next two hours because no one can get around on the roads. Cars and busses are stuck everywhere and it's total chaos. It's not even a lot of snow. It's like 7 or 8 centimetres….. XD

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 09:45 AM

Morning!

I'm ok.
Just waiting for the newsagent to open so i can print a label and send a parcel!
Opens in 15 mins.

That sounds very much like how we 'deal with' snow!
I hope you don't have to go anywhere today!

Zurg 30-11-2023 10:38 AM

I only have to go grocery shopping and to the dentist. The dentist is right around the corner and the shop is less than a kilometer away.

I just saw the machine that sweeps the loose kind of snow off the road. It was right behind the snow plough (a wise decision, probably!!!). It looked a bit funny when they passed by. An elder and its apprentice XD
Hope you have been able to send your parcel. The world is clearly going to end with all this snow so we really Got to work through our bucket lists. Fast!!!

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 10:45 AM

Won't have to brave it for long then!

Haha! That is quite a funny mental image there XD

I have sent my parcel!
I've done everything i need to do today, except see crisis and put washing away when it's done.
So today is going to be veeeerryy long!

long road 30-11-2023 10:51 AM

Morning!

He he he to snow chaos Zurg! You would think scandanavian countries would deal with snow better than the UK.

Hope crisis is a good person Beckie.

I woke up and my head hurt less and then I got up to go to the bathroom and it hurt lots again. So back in bed resting.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 11:12 AM

Hey jen

Thanks

Rest sounds like a good idea

tamobhuuta 30-11-2023 11:18 AM

Morning guys.

Zurg 30-11-2023 11:21 AM

Yeah, the last proper blizzard we had was around 2007. I remember it because i lived in supported housing at the time and for 3 or 4 days, no staff was able to get through. Every morning, a tractor came and dug its way through the snow and moved it off our doorsteps. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to leave your House at all with the up to 2 metre piles of snow blocking your door ;)
But climate changes have pretty much put a stop to snow in Denmark. So now we're totally unprepared when it does happen. But hey, at least it's mildly entertaining when it reaches apocalypse standards because of snow…. ;)
I hope you can manage to find something to entertain you while resting, Jen.
Also hope the crisis person will be okay, Beckie. In my experience, people that don't normally deal with my crazies can't do much to make it change but if they're kind, at least i can talk to them.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 11:26 AM

Morning tamo
How are you?

That sounds mental zurg!
I'm glad we don't get snow like that now

Thank you
Yeah that's true
Cpn called and is being silly again

one_step_closer 30-11-2023 12:15 PM

Morning everyone.

I don't know if there has been any snow here. Could be snow or frost but nothing major. Hope you aren't too inconvenienced, Kat!

Hope crisis are ok, Beckie and you find nice things to do with your day.

Oh no, Jen. Hope your pain eases soon.

Morning Tamo, how are you today? Any visitors today?

long road 30-11-2023 12:45 PM

It's snowing here! Proper flakes! I am enjoying watching it fall.We haven't had proper snow here since the beast from the east in 2018. Although this snow hasn't settled.yet.

It's good to be entertained Zurg.

Morning Lindsay!

Paracetamol has helped pain a bit.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 12:48 PM

Morning lindsay
How are you?

Thanks
I'm not really sure what else i can do with my day!
I've done everything i need to

It's sunny here now!

one_step_closer 30-11-2023 12:52 PM

I've done all my main tasks too. The sun is also shining here! I much prefer it being cold and sunny to dull and rainy.

not_so_insig 30-11-2023 12:56 PM

Morning all. It's flipping freezing here.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 12:58 PM

Well done lindsay!
Cold and sunny is definitely preferable

not_so_insig 30-11-2023 01:03 PM

Happy St Andrew's Day Lindsay!

tamobhuuta 30-11-2023 01:57 PM

My dad came to see me this morning and L is coming to see me this evening. It between I need to keep my brain occupied. It *almost* snowed this morning.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 01:58 PM

I too need to keep my brain occupied tamo!
What tactics are you using?

tamobhuuta 30-11-2023 02:01 PM

Mantras and TV. I've got other coping skills but those are the most effective.

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 02:42 PM

Those are good skills

Today is going so slowly

tamobhuuta 30-11-2023 03:56 PM

I made a paper chain.

one_step_closer 30-11-2023 05:09 PM

Thanks, Dawn! I don't really do anything to celebrate.

Did you use lots of colours, Tamo?

Are you managing to occupy yourself, Beckie?

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 05:59 PM

That's cool tamo!

I went to bed and crashed out for a bit
Then went to poundland to stock up on painkillers and also nearly got hit by a car because i was being petty XD
Car was parked in the middle of the traffic lights. I pressed the button so the light turned red, and i walked in front of the car, instead of behind it. I succeeded in annoying them and hindering their journey slightly. Shouldn't be parking over crossings. Pretty sure a toddler could have told them that.

tamobhuuta 30-11-2023 06:41 PM

Just one kind of wrapping paper.

Was it worth making your point?

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 06:45 PM

It was!
I love a bit of pettiness

Zurg 30-11-2023 07:24 PM

I love feeling smug when i know i am right and the other person(s) are not. Somehow it makes me feel powerful!!!! Mwuahahaahahhaaa!!!!
Also; people in cars that make life difficult for us people not with cars deserve all the pettiness coming their way!!!!!

Cacoethes 30-11-2023 07:27 PM

Me too zurg!
And yes, they absolutely do!

not_so_insig 30-11-2023 09:09 PM

I did that many years ago Beckie except it was a car park exit with a pavement in front of it. Their own fault for not ensuring that the pavement was clear.

Ahimsa 30-11-2023 09:13 PM

Hi all!

hope its not as cold for you all as it is here, it's been -4 today!

Also, this is funny. I had a mental health meeting today at work with my manager and our director (but she was there as a mental health first aider) and they got me to fill this form in

One of the questions is "In your own words, how does your mental health problem affect you?"

And then TWO LINES of space. That is NOT ENOUGH!

I told my friend and she said to put "in every way."

Cacoethes 01-12-2023 08:32 AM

Morning everyone

Ahimsa 01-12-2023 09:10 AM

Morning Beckie!!

Cacoethes 01-12-2023 09:17 AM

Hey beth!
How are you today?

Ahimsa 01-12-2023 10:30 AM

Super sleepy! I'm on a 10:15-7:15 shift today. (and also working tomorrow, no Friday feeling for me!)

how're you?

Zurg 01-12-2023 11:00 AM

Morning Beckie and Beth :)
Boo to working every day!!!! :( I hope you meet some nice and cuddly pets at least, Beth <3
We've had a bit more snow. But now the apocalypse of snow is old news and the general annoyance of society has resumed. Pah!!!

Cacoethes 01-12-2023 11:13 AM

Aww that sucks beth!
I hope it passes quickly

I'm ok. Same old

Morning zurg!
It's just frosty here
Do you have much to do today?

Zurg 01-12-2023 11:25 AM

Nah, just going to my mum's later. Tbh i'd rather stay at home. Findus doesn’t understand the concept of snow. Should he eat it or should he dig in it??? So many options!!! XD

Cacoethes 01-12-2023 11:27 AM

Doing anything nice or just a visit?
Ahh findus! The possibilities are endless!

tamobhuuta 01-12-2023 11:30 AM

Morning guys

Cacoethes 01-12-2023 11:33 AM

Morning tamo
How are you?

not_so_insig 01-12-2023 11:49 AM

Morning all. I had trouble opening my bin lid as it was stuck shut last night due to the cold. Definitely in minus figures. It's currently - 1 according to my phone/alexa.

one_step_closer 01-12-2023 12:01 PM

Morning everyone. Welcome to December.

Hope your shift passes quickly, Beth.

Do you have to stay long at your Mum's, Kat?

What are you doing today, Beckie?

How are you, Tamo?

My bin lid was also stuck, Dawn. I felt the cold properly on my face when I was out at the chemist, like burning cold.
