Very cool insig.

Cacoethes 19-05-2023 09:01 PM

'Used to it' doesn't mean you struggle any less!

Ah ok, it's a friday thing!

A wild np appeared!

long road 19-05-2023 09:30 PM

We had a ham and PINEAPPLE pizza and garlic bread.

Ooh fresh eggs from people's own hens are the best.

I have a doctor who Lego set of the tardis with Lego minifigures of Matt Smith as the Doctor, Peter Capaldi as the doctor and Clara (it was released right around the change over between Smith and Capaldi) also a weeping angel minifigure and 2 Lego daleks.

The cups at the cottage are huge! So sitting down with a bucket of tea and some jammie dodgers

Cacoethes 19-05-2023 09:44 PM

Yummy!

They are!
I'm hoping they will have laid some tomorrow so i can ask mum if i can steal a couple!

Bet that wasn't cheap! Sounds awesome!

Haha! I have a massive mug that i use.

long road 19-05-2023 10:40 PM

Steal the eggs!

I cannot confirm the price as it was a Christmas present I think either on Christmas 2014 or 2015. It is awesome I will send you a jpeg when I get home via the book of faces.

Off to try and sleep now. It can be a bit hit and miss sleeping the first night on a new bed

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 06:39 AM

Morning everyone!

Ahimsa 20-05-2023 08:01 AM

its way too early to be awake on a Saturday.

How're you Beckie? What're you u to?

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 08:33 AM

I was up at 6. Again :eyeroll:

I'm ok. At my mum's still. She's going to the gym and me and Jas will go for a coffee.
Then She's driving me all the way home! What a treat!

How are you?

Ahimsa 20-05-2023 08:44 AM

Ugh so early!

I’m at work already

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 08:51 AM

It's very annoying.

Ah fun!
Is it a long day?

Ahimsa 20-05-2023 09:17 AM

8:30-5:30, so not long really!

tamobhuuta 20-05-2023 10:13 AM

That is long! A whole hour longer than the typical 9 to 5.

Morning peeps.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 10:41 AM

Basically no one works a typical 9-5 these days!

Morning!

Ahimsa 20-05-2023 10:45 AM

That’s my standard, 9 hours with an hour for lunch.

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 10:46 AM

Morning all. I woke up thinking that someone was knocking on my door but nobody was there. Either someone was playing jack knock or I imagined it :angry:

tamobhuuta 20-05-2023 10:55 AM

Creepy!

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 10:57 AM

It's annoying whether it's my brain being a troll or someone being very immature.

tamobhuuta 20-05-2023 11:06 AM

Has it happened since?

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 11:47 AM

No thankfully

tamobhuuta 20-05-2023 12:10 PM

That's good :) I'd try not to worry about it.

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 12:28 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta.

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 12:35 PM

Hey everyone, I hope you all have a good day. Have read everything.

Looks like I'm in for an uphill struggle today, not feeling great. But nice to see you all as always.

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 12:46 PM

Going to have a roll and tomato ketchup crisps for lunch. Would have preferred a sandwich but have no bread because I eat too much of it whereas I can just buy one roll from the shop.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 01:12 PM

Ooh crisp roll!
That's not a bad idea actually. Been wanting crisps for a while.
Probably low on sodium again.
I need to go to asda anyway.

My mum has some wild lemon balm in one of the fields, which a lot of animals love, and it has anti stress and antibacterial properties! So i picked a bagful. And the pigs love it! She also gave me ¼ of a watermelon, which the pigs wolfed down! They barely came up for air! Then merry had watermelon juice all down his front XD

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 01:18 PM

Have you got the gps with you Beckie or have you left them with your neighbour?

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 01:26 PM

I'm home now. But they stay in my house when my neighbour looks after them.
They get stressed easily and neighbours house has no space anyway.
I'm doing the week house sitting from Wednesday.
I went last night to babysit while mum went out!

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 01:36 PM

The piggies must have been like 'OMG this is amazing!' :laugh:

Definitely have a crisp sandwich/roll. What's your fave flavour of crisps to do this with?

How are you, Dawn?

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 01:41 PM

Like Christmas for them!
Mum has loads of herbs in her garden, most of them aren't ready yet, but when they are, I'll have access to lots of free herbs!

I'm not sure! I haven't done one in so long!
I think i might go cheese and onion. Or flame grilled steak.

Mum gave me 4 eggs too!

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 01:44 PM

I am feeling a bit anxious but generally ok Lindsay. Though I am being driven mad because my mum left her iPhone in my flat and it keeps on going off every 10 minutes. If I knew how to turn it off I would.

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 01:44 PM

That's cool that you'll be able to get stuff from your Mum.

I've never tried a sandwich with flame grilled steak crisps. That's up in the posh level!

Do you know how you're going to cook the eggs?

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 01:46 PM

I hope your anxiety decreases at least a bit and you continue to feel ok, Dawn. There is a switch at the side of iPhones where you can move it and it puts the phone on silent but it might still vibrate. Is your Mum coming to collect it?

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 01:50 PM

It's on silent just the silly thing keeps on vibrating. I am seeing my mum later so i will give it to her then. Hopefully I'll have some peace because it's driving me mad.

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 01:52 PM

At least you won't have to listen to it for much longer. Can you put it somewhere you won't hear it as much or would you forget it was there and not give it to your Mum?

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 02:09 PM

I would liable to forget Lindsay. Unfortunately it's in the furthest spot of my flat but I can still hear it. :angry: . But the good news is that I found a missing dvd last night. Just gotta find room in my dvd cabinet for it.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 02:59 PM

It's only Because we have the flame grilled steak ones at work! But they're only McCoy's. Nothing hugely exciting!

Not sure what I'm going to do with the eggs yet!

That sounds super annoying dawn!

When i was in supported housing, one girl had gone for her mum's for the weekend. Her alarm clock started going off early in the morning! Was set for her work time, she was a teaching assistant so early!
The staff had to try and get hold of her before they could use their spare key. Which took hours! So that was really annoying!

nonperson 20-05-2023 04:33 PM

Erm, just hold the power button on the side until it turns off? o.O

Anyhoo, hello all.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 04:39 PM

Np! Hello!

How are you?

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 04:44 PM

Do you have a lot of dvds then, Dawn? Nice find with the missing one!

Don't you have to put the PIN in before you can turn it off, NP? How is your day going?

That would be mega annoying listening to someones alarm for ages.

nonperson 20-05-2023 04:48 PM

No, you should be able to turn it off without the PIN. At least you can on mine (just tried). But take some random photos first because that's always fun =)

My day's been ok. I got myself up early to go visit a garden to do some research for work and now I am pooped.

not_so_insig 20-05-2023 04:53 PM

I have about a hundred dvds Lindsay. I have 2 dvd cabinets. The one the Doctor Who dvd (the missing one is a Doctor Who one) belongs in is tricky because I like to put the Doctor Who dvds in transmission order. Thankfully it is an Sylvester McCoy dvd so not too many to rearrange.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 04:58 PM

Ooh lovely!

I've been at my mum's. She has an amazing garden. It's genuinely like a show garden. Didn't do it herself of course XD
Hired a specialist, don't know what one of those would be called!
She has to split it into 4 sections to water it lol
But it is beautiful. And made to attract lots of bees and butterflies
And some herbs which i will be stealing for the boys :tongue2:

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 05:00 PM

I think Dawn would be more respectful of her Mum's phone, NP! Sounds like a productive day, well done. You deserve lots of nice things now. What are you going to do with the rest of your day?

That's lots, Dawn, how do you even choose what you want to watch?! I quite like rearranging things.

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 05:02 PM

Sounds like a really nice garden. Do people help her with the upkeep? (is that the right word?) I hate my garden except for the blossom trees and the bird feeders. My drive is overgrown with weeds which makes me overwhelmed. What are you doing with the rest of your day, Beckie?

nonperson 20-05-2023 05:07 PM

I hate my garden too, Lindsay. It is a proper proper mess. The annual garden competition/inspection is coming up in a few weeks... =/ so I understand the overwhelm =(

I'd love to have a really nice garden but it is too much effort to do on my own (for the upkeep, I think is the word).

I'm doing nothing with the rest of my day. Shower and be stationary.

Ahimsa 20-05-2023 05:08 PM

I wish I had the time and energy to keep up with my garden!!

I’ve almost finished work, and I’ve had a notification my new dress has arrived so I need to decide whether to dye it or not.

Cacoethes 20-05-2023 05:15 PM

You commented on a pic of it earlier lindsay!
Though it wasn't the whole garden. And it hasn't exploded with colour yet!
I think she has some help since the cancer last year, even though she is still pretty fit. It's a lot of work.

Could you split it up into really small tasks rather than thinking 'i have to weed the drive'
Maybe like do a small square of space at a time?

I'm not doing anything. Bored!
Watching alice in borderland again.
I started watching Ghosts at mum's because both mum and jas like it. It's brilliant! Some of the original horrible histories cast!

It does sound like a great deal of effort.
I've only got a small patch of grass and i couldn't keep one plant alive when i had it because i kept forgetting to water it XD

Good plan np! Especially as you work so hard!

Oooh new dress!

one_step_closer 20-05-2023 05:21 PM

Are you going to have to tidy up your garden before the competition/inspection, NP? Shower and be stationary sounds like a plan. Have you had food yet though?

Ooh, a new dress is a nice treat Beth. What colour is it and what would you be thinking about dying it?

I could try doing a little bit of my drive at a time although I'd probably get upset quite quickly and give up. I am so sensitive right now. I only watched a bit of Ghosts but didn't like it, I just tried it in case it was anything like What We Do In The Shadows or whatever that vampire comedy thing is called.
