When you're in a bad mood and in a bad place in your life, people just SHOULD NOT sing around you!!!!!

Cacoethes 03-12-2022 05:59 PM

Yep! Was not impressed!
Food was good though. The priory had really good food because it's private.

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 10:44 AM

Good morning x

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 11:22 AM

Morning!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 12:18 PM

I'm ok thanks. Just had a lovely visit with my mum and sister and goodies from Costa. How are you?

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 12:36 PM

Nice!
What did you get from costa?

I'm ok. Crisis coming at 2. Always fun lol
Been to asda and aldi. Still need to spot clean the boy's cage, put washing away, change bedsheets, shower and clean the house. Got a house inspection tomorrow. First one since I got the boys, there is hay EVERYWHERE!

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 12:40 PM

Oh dear! Have fun with that!

I had a latte and a Christmas wreath (rice krispy cake in a circle) AND Kiddie smoothie and croissant for lunch.

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 12:48 PM

I'm sure I will!

Ooh lovely!

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 12:56 PM

I might watch more Wednesday today.

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 12:57 PM

Good plan!
I binged it all in a day!

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 01:07 PM

Was it worth it?

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 01:11 PM

Yep! Really enjoyed it!

one_step_closer 04-12-2022 02:49 PM

I've stopped watching Wednesday for now, not in the mood for it.

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 03:06 PM

Fair enough! Are you watching anything in particular?

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 04:32 PM

Im now watching planet of the apes for some reason lol

one_step_closer 04-12-2022 05:03 PM

I'm finding most TV a bit boring right now. I do sometimes watch Superstore on Netflix because it's an easy watch. Might watch Blockbuster after that just because I'm curious if it will reflect any of my experiences of working there.

Have you watched Wednesday today then, Tamo?

I think I've only seen Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes but I'm not sure.

not_so_insig 04-12-2022 05:06 PM

Sorry I haven't been replying much been really physically unwell. Mh is good it's just my physical health. Was particularly bad today and I have spent most of the day unwell.

I am glad that your card arrived safely Lindsay. Someone else who I sent a card to at the same time said in their email that theirs arrived on the same day so at least I know that they're being delivered.

In case anyone doesn't know the last posting dates for Christmas have been moved forward. Although I have posted my cards I have a birthday card and a parcel for Lorraine to post. Must do them soon.

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 05:09 PM

I can rarely concentrate on tv!
But have to have it on as background noise.
I do manage to mostly focus on Handmaid's tale. It's the only thing I've watched recently that makes me freak out when it's left on a cliffhanger! I'm usually not bothered!

I watched rise and am now watching the 2001 tim Burton planet of the apes. Which is widely hated but we had it on video as kids I think so it's a nostalgia thing. Like how star wars fans all hate phantom menace but me and the siblings like it because it was the only one we had on video!

Sorry to hear you're not well dawn.
Hope you feel better soon!
Everyone is getting ill right now!

not_so_insig 04-12-2022 05:14 PM

Thanks Beckie. I just hope that I am better in the morning as I have a very important appointment. I thankfully am getting better as the day passes. I am going to take some meds for it before I go to bed and hope that they work overnight.

one_step_closer 04-12-2022 05:23 PM

I'm sorry you're not well Dawn, I hope things improve soon. I hope you get my card (I only sent it second class because I bought tons of second class stamps.)

Aww, lots of video nostalgia, Beckie!

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 05:28 PM

Fingers crossed!
I always find lemsip works wonders!

Yep! Lol
Nostalgia is a powerful thing!

not_so_insig 04-12-2022 05:36 PM

I will let you know when your card arrives Lindsay. I only have 1st class stamps as they are useful for Postcrossing. Now that stamps are bigger than they used to be I darent use second class stamps. *grumbles*

Pi.R^2 04-12-2022 05:47 PM

Sorry you've piqued my interest - why does second class stamps being large make them risky???
Also have you watched the stupid video on the stupid app when you scan the new stupid stamps???

Pi.R^2 04-12-2022 05:47 PM

Also hello I guess.

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 05:49 PM

A wild Jenna appeared!

Pi.R^2 04-12-2022 05:50 PM

Hi Beckie! I've just been talking about you actually...

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 05:55 PM

That's not usually a good sign......:ermm:

Pi.R^2 04-12-2022 06:08 PM

Haha, don't worry it was just Sophia, who said she'd been talking to you and it reminded her to do an RYL thing!

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 06:28 PM

Ohhh yes!
Phew! I was half expecting another stern PM on the way XD

Pi.R^2 04-12-2022 06:40 PM

lol! Poor you, living in fear of moderator action :P

tamobhuuta 04-12-2022 06:42 PM

Get well soon insig! X

Cacoethes 04-12-2022 06:43 PM

Tbf, I only have myself to blame for that XD

Oh same, I just have it in the background - sometimes just nonsense.



Did you find the Handmaid's tale to be good? Sort of trying to find a better way to say it (good = liked when good can mean = thought provoking)


I'm sorry some of you aren't feeling well - I hope you will recover soon - I know it all too well.

Because I use 2 x 1st class stamps for Postcrossing when sending overseas. If I were to use 2nd class stamps then I would have to use more than 2 stamps meaning that due to their size it would take up even more room on the card and therefore less room for a message. I only have standard sized postcards.

not_so_insig 05-12-2022 08:00 AM

Morning all. Looks like I beat Beckie

Cacoethes 05-12-2022 08:23 AM

Morning!

Zurg 05-12-2022 09:14 AM

Morning :)

How is everyone?

I'm broke, my back aches and i am out of coffee. Waiting to wake up from this terrible nightmare….

Cacoethes 05-12-2022 09:24 AM

No coffee???
Noooo!
I am also out of coffee.

not_so_insig 05-12-2022 10:10 AM

It's freezing here. It's only 4 degrees here atm. Hope you're feeling warm.

Cacoethes 05-12-2022 10:11 AM

6 here.
Just about to go and get my nails done!

not_so_insig 05-12-2022 10:30 AM

Oooh nice Beckie. I am hopefully going out too.

tamobhuuta 05-12-2022 10:41 AM

Hi guys.
Sorry about your start to the day Zurg.
I hope you enjoy getting your nails done Cacoethes.
Where are you off to insig?
I've got my colouring stuff out but I'm not sure I actually want to do colouring. But I need to do something while my PRN kicks in.

Zurg 05-12-2022 11:18 AM

It's cold here too. Around 2 or 3 degrees i think…. I'm freezing even inside and with the heating on.

Hope your nails Will turn out all fabulous, Beckie!!!

Do you like listening to music, Tamo?? Maybe that would feel a bit easier and more relaxing than colouring??

What are you up to today, Dawn??

one_step_closer 05-12-2022 11:19 AM

Morning everyone.

I'm sorry things aren't great for you right now, Kat. *sends love*

Are you going to get coffee when you're out, Beckie? Do you have an idea of what you want your nails to be like? I demand photos!

Are you feeling better today, Dawn?

I hope the PRN kicks in soon, Tamo. Keep doing the safe things.

one_step_closer 05-12-2022 11:19 AM

Ninja Kat!

Cacoethes 05-12-2022 12:27 PM

My nails are indeed fabulous!
Very Christmassy!

House inspection has been cancelled as their car has broken down. So they now don't have time to come until the new year! Which is fine!

I need to go to asda to get coffee but cba because it's cold and raining XD

tamobhuuta 05-12-2022 12:58 PM

Yes, I listened to music instead! I had a good visit with my dad and sister but she did get very stressed and upset. Maybe today wasn't a good day for her to come. Once she calmed down though she was friendly and chatty.

Lunch time now.

not_so_insig 05-12-2022 01:46 PM

I am feeling slightly better thanks. Managed to do a bus journey and a taxi ride back without being ill.

one_step_closer 05-12-2022 02:13 PM

I thought you might have got coffee when you were already out getting your nails done, Beckie.

I'm glad you had a nice visit although your sister was upset to begin with, Tamo. What did you have for lunch?

That's good, Dawn. Were you out for anything specific?

tamobhuuta 05-12-2022 02:35 PM

I had a very chocolatey cereal bar. How are you?
