My day is OK thanks. My dad visited this morning, I have washed my hair and finished a Christmas film.

Thanks, insig , that would work better for me as I feel uncomfortable using peoples names when I'm so new here and I feel that would be too personal but thank you again for offering me your name and I'm also fine with maii and I'm Trisha so nice to officially meet you.



tamobhuuta, which Christmas film did you watch.

It was called A Christmas Rivalry. Now I'm watching A Christmas Princess. They are so cheesey!

Hey Maii, thanks for the well wishes. How is your day shaping up? Feel free to call me LR or Jen btw, whichever you prefer.

I cant really think of a Christmas film that isn't cheesy Tamo! I saw a trailer for the Christmas Prince that looked fun the other day.

I'm taking a break from socialising and noisy children. Had a nice early Christmas lunch though.

I had to suffer Christmas music earlier...!

Oh no NP the travesty! Did you lose Whammaggedon?

Jealous you had Christmas lunch!

Wham wasn't played so I guess I'm still winning?

It was pretty good =)

Congratulations! That's an achievement!

What did you have?

Which is Wham's song?

Last Christmas.

All the usual - turkey and potatoes and ham and parsnips and pigs in blankets and one sprout.

Thanks for asking, LR, I'm not too sure what I have planned today other than to watch some movies. I do hope to get out because I chickened out yesterday and curled up on the couch, but today, I'd like to to go to starbucks.

Lol NP ... For a second I thought you meant this song.

Jimmy Fallon - It Was A? (Masked Christmas) ft. Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion

EDIT: Typos again lol

One sprout how amusing!

Roast parsnips and pigs in blankets are my favourite parts of Christmas Dinner.


Hope you can make it out to Starbucks, coffee is life! Any idea what movies you are ein the mood for?

I have yet to get either of phone calls I was expecting. CMHT one could be any time this week. But I am sure the nurse yesterday said that if I got discharged last night she would make sure someone phoned me today. I think they finish at 17:30 so not long to wait to see if they call.

I don't remember if I've heard that one yet this year.

What's everyone's favourite Christmas song(s)?

I think my favourite is either Feliz Navidad or Carol of the Bells or It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas.

Although my favourite carol is definitely God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

Hi all,

Hope everyone's had a good day, I'm just home from work.

I don't think I have a favourite Christmas song really, I don't really listen to them.

Hey Beth! Yay for hometime!

Well, hometime for now!

Hope you've all had ok days at least.

Do you have to go back out, Beth?

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone.

Is it your birthday OSC? Happy Birthday! Have you celebrated?

Yeah, I have my other job reading the pub quiz tonight, so I'll be back out by 8, home about 10:30, have some dinner and then straight to bed as it's a 6am start again for my shift tomorrow.

What are you doing during your in between time? Do you make up the pub quiz questions or just read them?

Yes it's my birthday today, thank you. I was out with my (gym) friends at Costa for our Christmas treat.

I just read them, they get sent to the pub.

I'm going to try have a nap if I can, I've been up since 6 - zzzzzzzzz. I've got yesterdays task list to finish and then todays to do too though.

Ooh what a lovely day, what did you get from costa?

Hey Lindsay!

Ooh can we get a few questions in the thread tonight Beth?

Although sad times that you have to go out :( good luck with napping.beforehand.

If I have to choose it would have to be The Darkness.

I like Fairytale of New York or Feliz Navidad.

Beth I honestly think you must be superhuman. Hope you manage to nap.

I just had a brie and cranberry toastie, I don't like hot drinks.

Some religious Christmas songs are cute but I don't really like any Christmas songs. I got a couple of badges in my advent calendar that are plays on songs 'Wombat in a Winter Wonderland" and "Aardvark The Herald Angels Sing."

Hey guys

Hey all! Seconding the request for a few quiz questions on the thread!
How are you Beckie?

I'm ok thanks.
Just recovering from earlier's unpleasant procedure!

How are you?

sending sympathy! Hope you're taking it easy. I'm OK. Finished work for the holidays =D

When do you go back, Jenna?

Hey! Sorry it was super busy so I ended up jumping on the bar and serving between questions so didn't get chance to jump on here.

Morning everyone!

Morning Beckie. Any plans for today or just chilling after yesterday's busyness?

Morning Beckie and NP!

I have ED appointments of doom, but that's about it

How are you both?
Any plans for today?

I am feeling better than yesterday.

Hope appointments are minimal doom Beckie.

Our friend J is visiting from 11am, he is based in Cambridge at the moment with the military but has come back down here on leave. Should be nice to see him.

I also need to follow up on the nurse phonecall that never happened yesterday and might get a phonecall from CMHT (but who knows with the CMHT)

That's good!

Thank you :)

Hope you have a nice time with your friend!

CMHT never call when they're meant to

Morning all :)
And a very late Happy Birthday to you, Lindsay :-*
I have the day off :D
Well, apart from doing laundry and maybe going to the shop for some veggies for the zoo. There's going to be a nasty storm tomorrow so better get out there today. I think Findus is transcending into a cat. I take him out on the balcony and then he lingers by the door so i open it a bit so he can go back in. Then he turns around and runs around outside again. Then lingering by the door. And that was how ten very long and cold minutes were spent…. XD

Morning zurg!
Yay for a chilled day!
Findus just being findus again XD

Yeah, he's so adorable even when he's being naughty/a pain XD
I was close to breaking down yesterday because i couldn't handle all the things i had to do. My friend understands so we agreed to postpone my visit to her and the kids and her boyfriend until after christmas. It's all a bit too much. Will spend my last money today on veggies and a few bits for me. A week to go before the next pay. That is all sorts of rubbish but i really don't want to ask anyone for help because they'll call me all sorts of things and be angry.

Are you up to anything today, Beckie??

Same as the piggos! XD

I'm glad you have an understanding friend.
Hopefully you can use today to recover

I know the feeling there. Money struggles suck

I have ED appointment of doom and need to clean out my outdoor cupboard because I'm having the smart meters fitted tomorrow. Won't take long. I think all that's in there is a lawnmower. Neighbour said she'll sweep it out for me too. It'll be the cleanest outdoor cupboard the eon people have ever seen XD

Morning guys.

Good luck for your ed appointments Cacoethes.

And good luck everyone else!

I have ward rounds this morning. Fingers crossed for Christmas leave.

Morning peoples.

Good luck with your appointments, Beckie. Are you getting new smart meters or have you never had smart meters before?

How are you, NP?

I hope you enjoy seeing your friend, Jen.

Thank you, Kat. Look after yourself as best as you can.

I hope your ward round goes ok, Tamo.

Hello all. I am going wild swimming later.

Also PSA: today's the last day for 1st class post if you want it to arrive before Christmas.

I had ward rounds. It was a junior doctor. He needs to consult with the MDT in the morning about my leave.

Crossing fingers for you, Tamo :)
I love an easy job, Beckie. You should use the opportunity to boast about your very excellent skills at organising an outdoor shed and keeping it spectaculary clean and tidy!!! ;)
Happy swimming, Dawn. Hope you have the heating on for when you get back home!!!
Are you up to anything today, Lindsay??

Thanks Zurg. How are you?

Good morning all!

Thanks Zurg. I managed 7 minutes today in the water.

Well done, Dawn. I wouldn't manage 7 seconds, I don't think I would even get out of my outer clothes! Thank you for my birthday card, it arrived today.

I hope you can get some leave if you'll be safe, Tamo.

How's your day going, Kat? I just did a washing and not any other big stuff really.

Hi Maii, what time is it with you? We need to figure out the time difference.
