Hello all.

one_step_closer 03-05-2024 12:25 PM

Sounds like you all have lots planned! Hope you have a good day.

What will you be getting up to, Dawn?

Cacoethes 03-05-2024 01:17 PM

Thanks guys!

Peshwari naan is the best one!

Started chucking it down when I was in the coffee shop! So I got rather damp. But I've done asda, aldi and got petrol. There was a queue for petrol and a lot of the pumps weren't working. Hope we aren't headed for a fuel shortage!
It's just generally busy everywhere today for some reason

tamobhuuta 03-05-2024 01:26 PM

Oh dear, fuel shortage PANIC BUY!!!

Cacoethes 03-05-2024 01:40 PM

It may not be a fuel shortage. Everywhere was busy today and it may be something as simple as they were waiting on a delivery!
We always run out of things the day before the drinks order comes through every Thursday at work.
I did fill up more than I originally was going to, but it's not like I won't use it all! And got a longish drive tomorrow.

tamobhuuta 03-05-2024 02:03 PM

Where are you off to tomorrow?

The bedding for the spare room still isn't dry :(

Cacoethes 03-05-2024 02:46 PM

It was L's birthday yesterday so we're going to an air bnb, Italian restaurant and rage room. The air bnb has a hot tub! And you can arrange for the place to be set up with balloons and cake etc.

Oh no!

one_step_closer 03-05-2024 04:01 PM

It was sunny here this morning but the rain started at 2pm and there was some thunder for a bit too.

Sounds like a good birthday trip, Beckie.

Did you put your washing out to dry, Tamo? I have three sets of bedding so one can be drying, one on my bed, and one in case of an emergency.

Cacoethes 03-05-2024 04:20 PM

Been pouring down all day!

What have you been up to today lindsay?

one_step_closer 03-05-2024 05:51 PM

Nothing exciting, as ever. Went to the chemist, washed my hair, hoovered, went to Aldi, and did some reading.

not_so_insig 03-05-2024 05:52 PM

It's been dry but dull here.

not_so_insig 03-05-2024 05:56 PM

I have to go to the chemist at some point. Idk if I should wait until Tuesday (it's not urgent) as I have something to post next week and the post office is semi near the chemist. It might be less hectic than going tomorrow because Monday is a Bank Holiday here in Wales (idk if it's different in Scotland).

tamobhuuta 03-05-2024 06:15 PM

I put it in the dryer, i didn't trust the weather.

tamobhuuta 03-05-2024 07:34 PM

It's dry! We've had our takeaway :) how are your evenings going?

Cacoethes 04-05-2024 08:55 AM

Morning people!

tamobhuuta 04-05-2024 10:00 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Accidentally Abstract 04-05-2024 10:24 AM

Morning all. Sorry I'm just a kind of.. occasionally pop in and say hi kind of person. Life is just a lot and I never get time/have energy to do things - it'd be easier if RYL wasn't so rubbish via a phone, lol. But yeah, hi. How is everyone? Anyone got any nice weekend plans?

Cacoethes 04-05-2024 10:43 AM

Morning tamo and Luce!
I'm good thanks!
How are you?

Don't worry about it Luce!
How you doing?

I have some nice plans!
Going to an airbnb today (it has a hot tub!) And I paid for a package to get balloons and cake and sweets when we arrive because it's for L's birthday. Then out for a meal and then a rage room!
This morning I have showered, been to aldi, picked up meds and cleaned out the boys!

How about you guys?

tamobhuuta 04-05-2024 11:04 AM

Have fun Cacoethes.

Good to see you Abstract. What are you up to today?

I'm going to the Signed Mass and my sister is coming round.

Cacoethes 04-05-2024 11:16 AM

Thanks!
Hope you enjoy mass and seeing your sister :)

one_step_closer 04-05-2024 12:25 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Nice to see you when you are around, Luce. Hope you're doing ok.

Have a great time, Beckie!

Hope you enjoy your day, Tamo.

not_so_insig 04-05-2024 12:26 PM

Happy Star Wars day.

I decided not to bother going to the chemist today. Will go Tuesday and it's only prn meds so it's not like mega urgent that I have them before then. I have enough anyway to last me until then.

The dwp are sending out tax statement letters so dont panic if you get a letter from the dwp.

I have tesco coming later. Normally I don't have a order on a Saturday but due to the bank holiday I decided to have it today instead. If I had it on Tuesday it would have cost me more for the exact same items. 1 substitution and 1 unavailable item so not too bad.

Here endeth the essay :laugh:

Cacoethes 04-05-2024 12:37 PM

Thanks lindsay!
How are you?

tamobhuuta 04-05-2024 12:46 PM

I got my tax letter. Luckily it comes in a different font from the scarey dwp letters!

Tesco win then insig?

How are you osc?

Accidentally Abstract 04-05-2024 12:52 PM

Thanks all, nice welcome back. I'm struggling tbh but took that out on my RV. ;) I cancelled my only plans other than my PT session so just on my way into central London to wander around etc. I hope everyone enjoys theirs - your plans sound fab Beckie and I hope you and L have a great time, that sounds like a lovely birthday treat and extra gifts as a welcome! :)

not_so_insig 04-05-2024 12:55 PM

Yes the unavailable item was a book and it's available on amazon for the exact same price as tesco so I can get it whenever i like. The substitution was my sausages but it's ok. More importantly they have my muffins.

not_so_insig 04-05-2024 12:57 PM

Hello Luce sorry that you are struggling.

Accidentally Abstract 04-05-2024 01:00 PM

Glad you can still get the book Dawn but sorry about the sausages! Hope the replacement are decent. And thank you, appreciate that. I'll be alright, just constantly pushing through and treading water. It is what it is.

Ahimsa 04-05-2024 01:05 PM

afternoon all!

I've vacuumed the living room and packed up some Vinted stuff and dyed my hair, its just developing now.

I've got a show tonight and won't be back til about midnight, but tomorrow I'm going to Newcastle and the only train that gets me there is at 7am - but annoyingly the first bus isn't until 8 so I'm going to have to drive partway to the station to find another bus.

Beckie that sounds lovely, enjoy!!!!

Accidentally Abstract 04-05-2024 01:50 PM

Sounds like a productive day so far! Hope the show is good, and that journey tomorrow does sound frustrating but hope it runs smoothly at least.

not_so_insig 04-05-2024 03:40 PM

I have had my tesco shopping order and put nearly everything away. The sausages were acceptable and ended up with more sausages than I originally ordered. Will order the book at a later date as am currently on another one. Think either Lindsay or Jenna have read it so will ask their opinion on it. *pootles off to book thread*.

Ahimsa 04-05-2024 03:43 PM

Yay for more than you expected! :)

one_step_closer 04-05-2024 04:05 PM

Sorry you're struggling, Luce. I hope there are at least some small nice moments in your day.

Transport in some places is awful, Beth. Hope everything goes well.

I am curious as to what book it is now, Dawn!

Ahimsa 04-05-2024 04:19 PM

I don't need to be in Newcastle until 12, but it's just over 2 hours away and the other train is at like, 11!

I've worked out I need to leave by house at 5:45am. That'll be fun after not getting home til midnight!

How're you OSC?

not_so_insig 04-05-2024 04:45 PM

According to the book thread neither Jenna or Lindsay have read it though they have read other books by the same author. Lindsay the book was Little Girl Lost by Casey Watson.

one_step_closer 04-05-2024 06:13 PM

That sounds horrible, Beth! Sleep is needed!

I think that book is on my to read list, Dawn. Her other books are good so I imagine that one will be too.

I'm not doing very well right now.

Ahimsa 05-05-2024 12:00 AM

I'm sorry things aren't good OSC, sending lots of love!

I've just got home, I need to take a full face of stage make up off and repack my suitcase for tomorrow and then gonna try get my head down for a few hours!

Ahimsa 05-05-2024 06:30 AM

I double checked the bus times from where I live before I set off driving, I realised the first bus isn't 8am like I thought, it's 9am on a Sunday!

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 10:25 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 05-05-2024 10:35 AM

Morning :) how are you? You're here late!

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 10:39 AM

Morning!
Only just got home!
I'm ok thanks! How are you?

tamobhuuta 05-05-2024 11:06 AM

I'm good thanks. Didn't get up til 10 because I have nothing I need to do today, apart from therapy homework etc. Are you up to much?

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 11:13 AM

Nice lie in then!

Not really. Doing some washing, going for roast this afternoon. Will put fresh bedding on soon.

one_step_closer 05-05-2024 11:53 AM

Morning almost afternoon everyone.

Hope you got your travel sorted ok, Beth.

Did you enjoy your time away, Beckie?

Did you have a nice lie in, Tamo?

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 12:07 PM

Afternoon Lindsay!

Had a great time thanks!
Are you up to much today?

one_step_closer 05-05-2024 12:16 PM

Did you get some rage out?!

I have changed my bedding and washed my hair and will go to the local shop for my essential Pepsi Max after lunch. How is your day going so far?

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 12:32 PM

I did! Honestly it was so much fun!
The guy was pretty impressed that I kept going non stop for the full 15 mins because apparently most people have to switch out after a few minutes because it's so strenuous. quite proud of myself! XD
You get 15 means each and only one person is allowed in at a time, for obvious reasons!

Well done :)
Pepsi max is indeed essential! Or in my case, aldi budget Pepsi max XD

My days alright thanks!
Drove back, was about an hour. Unpacked the car and everything, tidied up, changed bedding, put washing on and sorted dosette box. Got a roast booked for 2pm at a local pub.

tamobhuuta 05-05-2024 01:11 PM

I'm confused, what did you do for 15 mins?

Hi osc! Well done for doing stuff.

Cacoethes 05-05-2024 01:39 PM

A rage room!
So you have stuff to smash like loads of glass bottles and old printers and computers etc. And there's a punch bag and tyres. You get bats and you can chuck the bottles to smash them on the wall!
I raided the glass bins at work to bring extra XD
So much fun!

tamobhuuta 05-05-2024 03:15 PM

Oh ok. Doesn't sound like my kind of thing tbh.
