Very true!

Yes you kind of need to know as soon as possible really. But you did ask in advance so it's their fault for not replying sooner.

I always leave things last minute when asking for time off. Gives my supervisor less time to think about it too much =P

Just phoned the salon. Booked in for 10:30...! Got an hour to compose myself and not have a meltdown.

tamobhuuta 02-10-2023 09:14 AM

Morning everyone.

Cacoethes, give yourself a break

Have fun at the salon np.

nonperson 02-10-2023 09:15 AM

Ninja Jen!

I can't just leave my hair to grow, it doesn't too well being very long. I normally ask for it to be as short as possible but so I can still tie it into a ponytail.

How're you today?

And ninja tamo!

I won't have fun but thanks =P

Do you have any visits planned today?

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 09:16 AM

Morning jen!
How are you?

I'm the same, keep meaning to book a haircut, never get round to it!

Thanks for the reassurance guys <3

Haha! Good tactic XD

Good to do it sooner rather than later! So you're not worrying all day

Morning tamo!
How're you doing?

tamobhuuta 02-10-2023 09:18 AM

Terrified! According to the board I've got ward rounds at 10.30am - first on the list.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 09:18 AM

My WhatsApp message still only has one grey tick.
So hasn't been delivered yet
The signal in that area is notoriously terrible and sometimes non existent

Good luck for ward round tamo!

nonperson 02-10-2023 09:30 AM

Good luck tamo. At least it's not long to wait.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 09:31 AM

Can have the day off :-D

nonperson 02-10-2023 09:36 AM

Woohoo! Use it wisely.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 09:41 AM

I shall!
Will do a mini clean out for the boys, go to aldi, possibly a quick house clean.

Elmer 02-10-2023 10:00 AM

Morning :)

I'm always impressed by your cleaning Beckie I'm so bad at it! Try not to overdo it though?

Good luck for your ward round Tamo, I hope they put a good plan in place.

Hope the haircut goes well NP :)

I am still in my jammies sitting with the slightly less stinky of the cats trying to persuade myself to get dressed and do something productive. Do not want.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 11:02 AM

I'll try!
There isn't really much cleaning tbh. It's just dust and hay!

Doing productive things is always hard!
You can do it Lio! I believe in you!

I'm just wondering if I'll get a call from cpn.
Doubt it XD

Elmer 02-10-2023 11:26 AM

I've got dressed and made my textbooks into a pile. Progress?

My mum's coming over in a couple of hours so I'll need to be presentable.

I hope your CPN does call Beckie, useless though he may be.

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 11:35 AM

Glad you're getting the day off, Beckie.

Hope you like your haircut, NP.

Hope everything went ok, Tamo.

How are you doing, Jen? (At first I typed Ken!)

Are you looking forward to seeing your Mum, Lio?

It's round about Crookshanks 14th birthday.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 11:40 AM

That is definitely progress Lio!

There's probably not a great deal of he can do!
And I'd probably get more annoyed talking to him. Lol

Already said it on fb but happy birthday crookshanks!

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 11:47 AM

Crookshanks says thanks!

Will you maybe see L today, Beckie?

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 11:59 AM

He is very welcome! :-D

Nah. She's at work

nonperson 02-10-2023 12:08 PM

Happy birthday Crookshanks! Does he get a special dinner?

My hair is so short but I think I like it =)

long road 02-10-2023 12:12 PM

*waves* sorry everyone I posted and then got distracted by life admin. Am currently making myself a health passport for my FND to further help me communicate should I have to go into hospital. Building on letter OT wrote for me. And adapting a generic long term condition one OT found, then once I have made one for myself planning to make a template version that others with FND can use to pass on to local FND charity. It's been keeping me busy!

Lol Lindsay to misquote the Barbie movie I'm just Jen...

How I am is not great mentally but ok as long as I am doing things, hence the focusing on making the health passport. Trying not to over do it and trigger FND though it's all a very tricky balancing act. And at least computer work is better for asthma / Covid as involves no physical activity that could upset my lungs.

Have rescheduled my appointment for Wednesday next week. Should definitely be clear of COVID by then (only a very faint positive today) but that means waiting 9 days when I am already anxious about the results of that appointment.

Happy Birthday Crookshanks!

How's the haircut NP?

I hope your ward rounds went ok Tamo.

Getting dressed is definite progress Lio, I am still in pyjamas!

tamobhuuta 02-10-2023 12:35 PM

Happy birthday Crookshanks!

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 01:01 PM

I'm sure you look fabulous np!
I was like that when i got my hair cut short!

Health passport sounds like a good idea jen!

nonperson 02-10-2023 01:26 PM

Maybe not fabulous but it is a huge improvement XD

Health passport is indeed a great idea, especially if it can help other people too.

Exciting news - my new hoover is ready to collect from Currys =P

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 01:48 PM

Good! Glad you like it!

Woohoo! Are you going to get it today?

I wish people would stop favouriting my items on vinted rather than buying them :plain:

nonperson 02-10-2023 02:24 PM

Yeah I'm gonna go get it in a bit.

That is frustrating. Favouriting is a good start though.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 02:28 PM

Are you going to hoover anything once you get back?
Try it out?

It is. Hopefully someone will buy it!

nonperson 02-10-2023 02:41 PM

I might unpack it but I'll probably test it out another time. I need to do a Big Clean next weekend so it will get lots of use then.

Have you got lots of stuff on there? My sister uses Vinted a lot and was showing it to me when I saw her last.

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 02:43 PM

Crookshanks would say thank you to you all but he's snoozing. No special meal but he has had some treats.

I want to see your hair, NP! What kind of hoover did you get?

Health passport is a great idea, Jen. (I'm sorry but I again wrote Ken!) The J and K are next to each other!

I also get annoyed when people watch my items on eBay but don't buy them.

long road 02-10-2023 02:45 PM

I got so distracted making health passport I forgot about lunch! Just made and eaten a sandwich to rectify that.

Now trying to chill a bit by watching Amazing Hotels Life Beyond the Lobby on my laptop.

What kind of hoover did you get NP?

I hope someone buys your vinted items soon so you may acquire money Beckie!

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 02:49 PM

At least you were focusing on something good, Jen. What did you have in your sandwich?

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 02:53 PM

Fair enough np!

I have a few things on there. Some have been on there for like a month.
I have sold a lot of stuff though. I cannot get over how easy it is! And free!

I certainly need to aquire more money!

nonperson 02-10-2023 02:55 PM

There sadly won't be any pics of my hair.

Its a cordless Dyson. And I was just about to go out to get it when the heavens opened. So... I'll wait a bit longer.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 02:59 PM

Ah no! How inconvenient! Silly rain
Meant to rain for the rest of the day here
Luckily spoons is only a 10 min walk. And i have an umbrella!

long road 02-10-2023 03:17 PM

I had a chicken mayo sandwich and some salt and vinegar crisps.

Oooh a cordless Dyson fancy! I have had my eye on one of those.

Umbrellas for the win! Unless it is windy then they are the worst idea. I have to say using an umbrella is almost sensibke Beckie. You will be wearing a coat next!

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 03:20 PM

Yummy!

True! Sometimes it's just not worth taking an umbrella when it's windy!
I will never wear a coat!!!

long road 02-10-2023 04:24 PM

Ah well my hopes of Beckie wearing a coat have been dashed yet again!

I am tired. I didn't get much sleep. And yet I can seem to rest. It is irritating

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 04:28 PM

I am anti-coat XD

Ugh that's always annoying!

nonperson 02-10-2023 04:57 PM

The only member of the anti-coat movement...

I'm back finally. Hit ALL the traffic and had to stop off in Asda for emergency mayonnaise where also I found the most excellent cushion that Beckie should have (photo to follow!)

nonperson 02-10-2023 05:05 PM


Cacoethes 02-10-2023 05:58 PM

There must be others!

OMG!!!

nonperson 02-10-2023 06:07 PM

I know!

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 06:17 PM

So cute!

It's raining a lot. Boooo

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 07:01 PM

No rain here just night time already.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 07:05 PM

Yep night time here too!

Merry is being a right dick to poor pippin today!

one_step_closer 02-10-2023 07:12 PM

Isn't that the usual?!

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 07:24 PM

Yeah. But he's really been on one since yesterday!
Clearly just in a terrible mood

long road 02-10-2023 08:27 PM

PI fell asleep eventually around 5pm, just woken up. Had some bad dreams though.

Partner is just heating up the Bolognese I cleverly got out of freezer last night to defrost and cooking some pasta. So will have dinner soon.

That cushion is soooo cute.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 08:40 PM

Good forward thinking there jen!

long road 02-10-2023 08:45 PM

Bolognese is one of my favourite meals as well! Partner is just serving up.

Cacoethes 02-10-2023 08:59 PM

Yes me too! With a sh*t ton of cheese!

long road 02-10-2023 09:19 PM

I can confirm that I did indeed add a sh*t ton of cheese.

How are you doing after your plans for cancelled?
