Yeah, I know what you mean. I hope the book arrives soon. I lost £50 because I sold some things on eBay and the package never made it to the buyer.

It comes to something when evri is more reliable and quicker than Royal Mail.

That sucks Lindsay. I never received my ds game and had to get a refund in the end from ebay. If you have proof of postage then you can claim via royal mail.

Evri is usually good here. I didn't get a receipt because I only used a large letter stamp and put it in a post box. Silly me but all my other packages arrived fine.

My parcel arrived! Sadly it wasn't the book but some wii games plus a 3ds game. Looks like I am going to have a gaming session. Although the seller said that they work I want to make sure that they do before leaving feedback on ebay.

Oh that sucks Lindsay.

That's sensible. I sometimes buy dvds and don't watch them for a while. I started watching The Railway Children Return last night but didn't have time to finish it, have you watched it yet?

Yes I watched it on or around my birthday. Can't remember which. Need to watch it again because I can't usually concentrate on a film so tend to miss bits. That's why I don't binge watch stuff because I don't have the concentration. I struggle with Corrie since they made the episodes an hour long I much prefer half an hour long episodes.

How's everyone's Saturdays going?


Accountability check! Things in bold are done :)

Vacuum my room (I found my floor last night)
Vacuum the living room
Go get food for tonight for me and my friends
Go drop stuff at the charity shop (near the food shop)
Change the bedding
Do ALL the washing up
Clean the bathroom
Mop the hallway.
Mop the kitchen

I have until 5:15 when I go pick one of my friends up because she doesn't drive.
Do we reckon, I'm allowed to go to The Works to pick up a new jigsaw, which is near the food and charity shops? Even thought my task list won't be done?

Well done Beth!

You can change the bedding tomorrow on ryl bedding change day.

I fell asleep around 12pm and woke up again at 2pm. Feel a little better.

Well done Ahimsa, I think you're allowed the puzzle.

I'm glad the nap helped long road.

Yay for naps Long Road!!

Noo I need to do the bedding today really. I've done half the washing up, I ran out of space. Hopefully that'll dry while I do other tasks :)

Bedding is less important if your friend isn't coming into your bedroom. Prioritise the tasks in areas they will go first :)

I regret to say that while nap made me less sleepy I haven't made it out of bed. My leg and lower back muscles have now locked up so looks like I am staying here a while longer. May try some gentle stretches in a minute

You'll have to stay warm and cosy then!!

Bedding is done :)

All stretched but legs are still playing up so looks like I have to stay in bed. It is warm and cosy and the heat is helping muscles a little bit

Well done for changing the bedding. That will be a treat for you tonight! I love fresh bedding day

Well done for changing your bedding Ahimsa.

Sorry your legs are giving you grief LR (that is your name now, I've got lazy)

Well done with all you're managing, Beth. You better get yourself a very special jigsaw.

I'm sorry your legs are being annoying, Jen. How long do they usually stay like that? I hope you can find things to keep you occupied in bed and be able to get up soon (but not when you're meant to be sleeping).

Good afternoon/evening all! Hope you got yourself a jigsaw Beth - I used to be in a jigsaw club and I miss it a bit.

How's everyone?

Also where's Beckie, I need to roast her about misunderstanding the capsstealy process :P

We will not give Beckie's whereabouts if you're going to roast her.

How are you?

I'm here!
I have no idea what's going on with capsstealy tbh

And thank you lindsay for protecting me from roasting!

lol Lindsay!

Beckie - you were surprised in your RV because your caps weren't stolen but that's because you wrote in lower case about your caps getting stolen - it only happens when you write a post in all caps with no lower case and it has roughly 27 characters or more. I can't remember the exact number, which I'm ashamed of.

How are you both?

That's fair, I have been calling you Tamo rather tamobhuuta this whole time!


How long is a piece of string?But seriously, it varies a lot but rarely lasts more than a day this bad. If I am lucky an hour or two or I can relax them with stretches.

I have ordered a pizza hut pizza for us to have an early dinner, as both self and partner are a) already hungry and b) have none of the energy to cook. I regret to inform Jenna I have ordered a haiwaian pizza, I expect to be roasted for this.

And am currently watching you tube videos of people visiting theme parks.

Now we all know how to evade RYL caps stealing! You know so much Jenna. *bows*

I'm meh. How are you?

Jen, maybe Jenna can find it in her heart to accept your pizza decision today.

Have you seen those videos where a ball thing on strings launches people in the air and then bounces them up and down until it stops itself and people keep fainting?

I hope you are as ok as you can be.

I have seen something similar. That sounds like far too intense a ride for me! I'll stick with carousels, chair swings and the occassional rollercoaster (but not the dangly feet ones). Although rollercoasters and I have a love hate relationship after I lost my glasses on one in Thorpe park as a teenager. My friend also wearing glasses one car ahead was fine!

Ughhhhhhh pineapple on pizza

Such poor life choices

My mum lost her iPhone on a roller coaster.

Also you guys are such n00bs, just writing some visible lower case is such a lame way to prevent capstealy!! There are way more fun ways.

Also2, I am intrigued by this bouncy ball thing ride, i don’t know what you mean!

We like to think we broke the world record for most self-harmers on a rollercoaster one time when like ten of us went on stuff at Thorpe Park together!

You should totally write to the Guinness world record people Jenna.

I know one way to prevent caps stealy but it's a pain to do on a phone

These sound like cheat codes like in ancient computer games.

Jenna - these rides, there are better videos though https://youtu.be/ZYdXWlmmGuM

oh golly!

I've done gorge-swinging before but I don't think I'd now have the bravery to go on something like that! I was dweeby enough doing The Plummet at Go Ape (Lio may verify this!)

To be fair to you you pretty much just went for it which is more than can be said for me :')

Morning everyone

Morning! How are you today?

I am tired!
Winning combo of pain and a super unsettled ward.
But my bestie is visiting today and i have instructed him to bring costa :-D

How are you?

oh goodness, what a nightmare for you :( Did any of the doctors identify what was causing the pain? Hope you have an awesome time with O and enjoy your costa! Related anecdote- spotted this chain when I was driving the other day and really can't believe it's allowed to be that much of a copy of costa!!

I'm OK- boring day of work today to be prepared for the week. I'm trying to stop letting my job run my life so I have assigned time limits to tasks.

Yep they know what's causing it. Or they think they know. But it probably is that.

If that was m&s, they'd have their lawyers on that asap!
That does look insanely similar!
I did thoroughly enjoy how aldi responded to the lawsuit though. Their social media person deserved a raise and an award for that!

Some people think you guys have such an easy job, weekends and holidays off etc. But it's never actually like that!
Time limits are a very good idea. Work/life balance and all that!

Think I know what you're talking about =S

Lol yeah, and did you see recently that M&S got in some bother with potentially copying a brand's logo for a tshirt? Aldi were quick to make a witty quip too!

Haha, yeah =/

Yeah....

Yes i saw that! Hilarious!
I love supermarkets on social media. Did you see the beans on weetabix thing?
They all got involved in that one!

Morning guys. I overslept by 15 WHOLE MINUTES.

Morning!
It's sunday, oversleeping is allowed :tongue2:
Any plans for the day?

I need to put washing from yesterday away, then I've got Mass at 5.

When is your friend coming?

Do you have a lot of washing to put away?

He's coming at 2pm. Or close to that at least! Public transport on a sunday....

Beans on weetabix rings the vaguest of bells...
I was stalking Aldi on the Twitter the other day and someone had just bought a meal deal, minding their own business, I don't think they'd even tagged Aldi but Aldi got involved and roasted them because their choice was so boring! It was a plain ham sandwich, ready salted crisps and sparking water :P

Morning tamo! Hope you get the laundry put away. I've got some washing in atm but it takes literally hours on that eco setting so goodness knows when I'll have to hang it up.
