What's for dinner everbode?

nonperson 30-09-2023 05:29 PM

Glad you survived, Zurg!

I am finally home. Trying to find some energy to go shopping...

Maybe jacket potato for dinner. Or maybe pizza...

long road 30-09-2023 05:41 PM

Partner just woke up and is far too ill to make dinner. I have looked after him a bit and now he is going back to sleep. I am also too ill to really cook either just used to being ill and doing things anyway because these days I am always some amount of ill. So I might just have toast for dinner, if I get some energy I will put some things from the freezer in the oven.

Going to do some breathing exercises and then maybe rest for a bit first.

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 06:07 PM

Luckily I don't have to cook so it was wedges and beans for me.

one_step_closer 30-09-2023 07:13 PM

Cuddly crocodile sounds great and well deserved!

I had a grown up dinner of chicken dippers and fries.

nonperson 30-09-2023 07:16 PM

Yum to both dinners!

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 07:59 PM

Om nom nom

nonperson 30-09-2023 08:32 PM

I'm having neither jacket potato or pizza... Gonna have macaroni cheese with pulled pork in it =o

tamobhuuta 30-09-2023 08:34 PM

Enjoy!

Accidentally Abstract 30-09-2023 09:02 PM

I had salmon fishcakes and dauphinoise potatoes for dinner. :) Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a manageable weekend. Hugs left for those who want them. <3

nonperson 30-09-2023 09:23 PM

Yummy dinner for you too!

Hope you're having a manageable weekend as well.

Accidentally Abstract 30-09-2023 09:25 PM

Thanks np, and yeah it was nice and also low effort which is basically all I'm able to do, heh.

I'm getting by so far. Not feeling great but I'm going to try and focus on doing some therapy homework in a minute, after I've washed up.

nonperson 30-09-2023 09:27 PM

I absolutely understand the low effort thing. You enjoyed it and that's all that matters.

Sorry you're not great but I hope the therapy homework helps somewhat.

Accidentally Abstract 30-09-2023 09:33 PM

Thanks, I hope it at least distracts me and makes me feel productive. Hope your evening is going okay.

nonperson 30-09-2023 09:38 PM

I'm watching Strictly so trying my best to chill out and be distracted too.

long road 30-09-2023 09:47 PM

I had a nap it helped.

And now having a dinner which has consisted of caramelised onion houmous and bread sticks and I am just cooking some chicken dippers.

nonperson 30-09-2023 10:11 PM

Glad the nap helped!

Nice dinner for you too =)

long road 30-09-2023 10:23 PM

Yeah just had whatever picky bits I fancied really.

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 07:38 AM

Morning everyone!

Elmer 01-10-2023 08:34 AM

Morning :)

How are you? Any good plans?

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 08:40 AM

Morning Lio :)

I am....distressed. That's been constant for the last week though so no dramas.

Nothing exciting. Need to go to asda to get some flowers for work friend's birthday. Depending on the price. And i may go into work to see if i have any tips, because of finances. Hopefully I've got at least a couple of pounds in there!

How are you? You got any plans?

Elmer 01-10-2023 08:43 AM

Sending lots of love, I hope things start feeling less awful soon <3 flowers sound nice but I hope you don't spend your last money on them, and that there are tips at work.

Mostly a chill day for me, I still get tired easily so will probably mostly be sitting at my desk pretending to study :')

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 08:49 AM

Thank you <3
I probably shouldn't spend money on flowers, but she was one of the very few people that actually remembered my birthday last year. She got me some flowers and i nearly cried!
They shouldn't be that expensive from asda or aldi.

Chill day sounds good!

Elmer 01-10-2023 08:52 AM

Ah I see - hopefully Asda and Aldi have some nice options :)

I saw so many dogs yesterday, it was excellent. Might see more today if I do end up popping out. Currently have a large stinky cat on my leg though so am here for now.

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 08:55 AM

Seeing dogs always makes a day excellent!
I love when we get cute dogs come into work
There's a tiny daschund puppy called Beans that comes in who keeps trying to pick fights with the massive dogs that come in XD

one_step_closer 01-10-2023 10:06 AM

Morning everyone.

I really hope you are less distressed soon, Beckie. Can you steal some flowers from a garden?!

I hope you have a nice relaxed day, Lio. Is stinky cat comforting?

There's a cute puppy pug I sometimes see in a garden when I'm out.

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 10:10 AM

Morning lindsay
How are you?

Thanks. I don't think it's going away anytime soon tbh! But we carry on
No i couldn't do that!

nonperson 01-10-2023 10:20 AM

Morning all.

one_step_closer 01-10-2023 10:26 AM

Once I went to pick a daffodil from a wild place and a scary looking woman saw me and was like "Be on your way!"

I've changed my bedding, done a washing, and cleaned the bathroom. Just another day to get through.

Hi, NP. How are you?

Zurg 01-10-2023 10:28 AM

Hi everyone :)
It's a really kind gesture getting your work mate flowers, Beckie :)
For the record, i do not have a stinky cat on my lap. And i am very dissatisfied with that!!!! >:(

one_step_closer 01-10-2023 10:29 AM

What is Findus up to, Kat? How are you today?

nonperson 01-10-2023 10:33 AM

Picking wildflowers is actually illegal.

I wish I had a cat on my lap. I'm at work again and pondering going over to the coffee wagon for some breakfast but I dunno if I can be arsed to talk to anyone. How does one mime "hot chocolate and a bacon roll"?

Zurg 01-10-2023 10:35 AM

Unfortunately, Findus is having a classic Findus-day. So he's trying to wreck everything within his reach while making as much noise as possible. And i am fatigued after Ikea. I find it difficult to convince myself to stay awake and breathing is hard in itself. A combo of a destructo bun and me being an amoeba is not good!!!!
I fear taking a nap. What Will even be left of my flat when i wake up??? ;)
How are you today, Lindsay??

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 10:41 AM

Morning np and zurg!

You could pretend to have lost your voice and carry around a notebook np?
Or pretend to be deaf and do some random hand signs, along with notebook.
L has pretended to be deaf before to get out of talking to people trying to get her to join a membership thing


Naughty findus!

tamobhuuta 01-10-2023 10:51 AM

Morning. I'm hoping my mum will be here soon.

Someone nicked my ipod and charger in the night. Luckily they were foolish enough to take the ipod to the office, saying it was theirs, asking for a name label. I was able to prove it was mine by telling them an unusual album I have. No sign of my charger yet.

nonperson 01-10-2023 10:54 AM

That's awful, tamo!

I think the real problem is I don't want to get up and walk over there. I need to find a way to signal my order through the trees and have them bring it over to me =P

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 11:05 AM

I had my phone and ipad stolen in hospital once.
Got them back because they were too ill to be subtle about it
Don't think they stole them because they wanted them, it'd be some weird reason

Ah that's fair enough np!
I agree with you!

nonperson 01-10-2023 11:39 AM

I'm cold and bored... =(

Cacoethes 01-10-2023 11:41 AM

I am cold also
Have you got any chores to do? Not fun though

nonperson 01-10-2023 11:52 AM

I'm working again. But just sat here willing passing cars not to drive towards the entrance that I'm guarding. There's absolutely nothing to do! D=

long road 01-10-2023 12:17 PM

*waves to thread people and their stinky and not so stinky animals*

I am somewhat full of woe and still testing positive for Covid so can't go to my face to face hospital appointment tomorrow.

But I did make raspberry porridge this morning that was quite nice.

tamobhuuta 01-10-2023 12:17 PM

My ipod is worth zilch!

I had a lovely time with my mum and my sister :)

How are you keeping yourself entertained np?

Sorry you've still got covid lr.

nonperson 01-10-2023 12:35 PM

Hi Jen. That is a shame about the appointment. How soon will they be able to reschedule it for?

Glad to had a nice visit, tamo. Did they bring you any Costa today?

I'm entertaining myself with Pok?mon Go and messaging and random internetting and looking at booking a haircut. It's quieter than yesterday but I think time has gone quicker.

long road 01-10-2023 12:40 PM

But your iPod is important because music helps and it is how you get music so I am happy you have it back.

Glad you had a good visit Tamo.

I don't know how long I will have to wait for a new appointment shouldn't be too long as it's covered under the 2 week wait guarantee thing. But the outpatient appointment phoneline isn't open again until Monday morning so will have to wait until then to find out.

Caught any good Pokemon's?

We are part of the random internet hooray!

nonperson 01-10-2023 12:46 PM

RYL is the most random part of the internet =P

Nothing exciting - lots of eevees, woobats and duckletts about today.

Zurg 01-10-2023 12:50 PM

*a Wild Findus appears in front of NP*
*NP attempts to capture the Wild Findus*
*wild Findus devours NP's pokeball and makes a poop and runs off*

long road 01-10-2023 01:00 PM

Well ducks are awesome but yeah ducklett isn't the rarest of Pokemon.

Lol at Findus eating NP's pokeball Zurg XD

Elmer 01-10-2023 01:11 PM

Hate how easy it is for people to steal things in hospital. Last time I was in I was allowed a portable charger and some really really short cables so I charged that instead which helped. Is that an option where you are Tamo? Time before that someone stole my favourite top :(

I love hearing about all the animals/pok?mon :) Findus sounds like a riot.

Sorry to hear about your covid test Jen. Hope you get a negative soon.

Hope you can leave your post soon NP. And that you catch good pok?mon!

I no longer have a stinky cat on my leg, he went downstairs :(

long road 01-10-2023 02:04 PM

Today's positive test was at least a faint line rather than a strong one. So my viral load must be reducing and I do have less symptoms today.

All this talk of stinky cat is making me think of the song from friends about smelly.cat XD

nonperson 01-10-2023 02:13 PM

Argh! I have been earwormed by Smelly Cat now!

LOL at Findus!

I'm back at my post after having lunch. Only 3 more hours to go....
