I'm glad you have good people around you at work, Beckie.

Hi Dawn, how are you?

not_so_insig 15-09-2024 01:52 PM

I am ok thanks Lindsay. I didnt win an auction on ebay this morning but it went for about twice the amount I was willing to pay so in a way I am glad that it didn't go for a tenner more as I would have been gutted. So all in all it's a relief.

one_step_closer 15-09-2024 01:53 PM

I hate not winning auctions when it's something you really want but obviously it's not good to spend too much money. I usually just get 'buy it now' things on eBay. Are you doing much today?

not_so_insig 15-09-2024 01:57 PM

Not up to much today. Will probably go for a shower later on. Other than that I really fancy a Chinese but due to various factors I can't have one!

tamobhuuta 15-09-2024 02:34 PM

Afternoon guys. I watched Mass on my phone in the garden in the sunshine.

not_so_insig 15-09-2024 04:18 PM

I have had a shower.

It's raining here. Hope you enjoyed seeing mass Tamobhuuta even if you couldn't be there in person.

tamobhuuta 15-09-2024 05:37 PM

I was very tired and distracted tbh! But I'm glad I made the effort.

Well done for showering!

not_so_insig 15-09-2024 05:57 PM

Sorry you weren't 100% tamobhuuta.

one_step_closer 15-09-2024 06:01 PM

Sunshine, Tamo! Lucky you!

Well done for having a shower, Dawn.

tamobhuuta 15-09-2024 06:09 PM

Hi osc, how are you?

one_step_closer 15-09-2024 06:15 PM

Don't know. I'm waiting on my Tesco delivery, my slot was between 1pm and 5pm but the van has broken down so I don't know when it will actually arrive.

not_so_insig 15-09-2024 08:05 PM

Fingers crossed your tesco order won't be too late Lindsay and you get yummy food.

tamobhuuta 15-09-2024 08:52 PM

I hope your order has arrived osc!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 08:13 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 10:01 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 10:03 AM

Morning!
I am tired as usual. And in waiting mode! I have to leave for the bus at 11:30 to get to a psych appointment.

How are you?

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 11:19 AM

Waiting time almost over! Hope the appointment goes well.

I just had a phone call with my mum which was nice. My foot is really sore and I'm tired so I'm having a lie down.

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 11:35 AM

Waiting for the bus now.
It's so nice out!
Thank you

Glad you had a nice chat with your mum
Resting sounds like the best thing to do right now

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 12:28 PM

My godmother is coming to see me tomorrow, even though it's at least 2 and a half hours each way for her!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 12:32 PM

Aww that's nice of her!

The bus didn't turn up, so I'm having to get a taxi. Not happy!

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 12:37 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Public transport is so frustrating. I hope you got to your appointment on time, Beckie.

Sounds like your godmother really cares about you, Tamo. You are lucky to have good people there for you.

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 12:43 PM

I am very lucky :)
How are you osc?

Hope you got there OK Cacoethes.

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 12:49 PM

I'm glad you have those people in your life, Tamo. Is your foot not feeling any better?

I'm not good to be honest, don't understand why our own brains can be against us a lot of the time.

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 12:51 PM

Hey lindsay

Yeah I got here 10 mins early. It's not far at all.

Our brains can be good at that lindsay, unfortunately

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 01:12 PM

Brains, like other parts of our bodies, can easily screw with us. Sorry you're having a tough time osc.

My foot is getting better, just slowly. I just walked a little bit without a crutch!

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 01:37 PM

That's good news Tamo!

I've decided to go into town and stock up on thermals before they start flying out and going out of stock.

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 01:57 PM

That's good, Beckie. Hope the appointment went well.

Are you in much pain, Tamo? I'm waiting on my back pain to bugger off. It went away and then came back.

Good idea, Beth. I'm tempted to wear my cosy hat today just because I like the feel of wearing it.

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 01:57 PM

That's good tamo!

Good plan beth! Forward thinking!

Had my appointment. It was positive, she's happy to write a supportive letter to the DVLA.
Got my surface piercing taken out (need to because surgery next week) and the owner of the shop said the guy is about to start training and needs willing bodies for simple piercings, so she said to shoot her a message for free piercings after surgery :-D
She said she just needs people who she knows well. Exciting!

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 02:01 PM

I'm glad your appointment was positive, Beckie. Hope the DVLA stuff gets sorted asap. Don't be going overboard with the piercings though!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 02:07 PM

Thanks lindsay!
Nah, it'll only be simple stuff, just ears I think, and I already have limited space XD

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 02:18 PM

I feel you, on the limited space front!

I've got 17 piercings, 16 in my ears and then my nose

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 02:27 PM

I have 12 in my ears, 2 lip ones, 2 nose ones and my septum. And just had my nape piercing taken out (RIP)

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 02:27 PM

That's a lot of piercings in your ears!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 03:07 PM

You can fit a surprising amount of piercings in your ears XD

not_so_insig 16-09-2024 04:59 PM

Evening all. I have been for coffee with a friend and sat outside for a bit. It got too hot in the end. Watched tomorrow's celebrity masterchef and now killing time until Pointless comes on.

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 05:51 PM

I'm in waiting mode for L coming, she'll probably be here about 6.15pm.

I am surprised Cacoethes!

Is Pointless good insig? I've never watched it.

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 05:57 PM

That sounds lovely Insig.

I got some fleecy tights and a jumper - they didn't have the full thermal stuff out yet, but I'm also strange proportions so its never straight forward anyway. (I'm only 4 foot 10!)

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 06:07 PM

Yay for snugglies!

I just spent a couple of minutes tidying my book/paperwork shelf.

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 06:08 PM

I have zero piercings!

Sounds like a nice day, Dawn.

Hope you have a nice visit with L, Tamo.

Sounds cosy, Beth. I thought I was small and I'm 5 foot 2!

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 06:25 PM

I measured myself in the children's section of a supermarket not too long ago, I am the height of the average 11-12 year old.,

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 06:31 PM

Do you mind being the height that you are? Does it cause you problems?

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 06:35 PM

I mean I'm used to it!

It caused a problem when someone drove into my car, because I couldn't reach the pedals on any of the courtesy cars they had available so I ended up with no car until mine was fixed! (well, my choice was to be able to see over the steering wheel, or reach the pedals - but not both!! :p )

And I can't reach half the cupboards in my kitchen (so I can only use half of the space) but apart from that it isn't a huge impact on my life!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 06:55 PM

That sounds rather annoying beth!
But I guess you're used to it!
I am 5ft 7. So I didn't even consider the car pedals issue!
Though fun fact, my head is small so I only need a child's size riding hat XD

one_step_closer 16-09-2024 07:03 PM

There's something wrong with my face because I usually need to get teenage glasses!

Cacoethes 16-09-2024 07:06 PM

I don't think that's something wrong with your face! We are all different shapes and sizes!

Ahimsa 16-09-2024 07:07 PM

It's an OSC sized face :)

tamobhuuta 16-09-2024 07:29 PM

I feel odd now because I am average height. But I can't wear most hats because I have huge hair, does that count as idiosyncratic?

not_so_insig 16-09-2024 09:19 PM

Thanks everyone. Tamobhuuta I like Pointless. Most people seem to prefer either Pointless or The Chase. I will watch The Chase if it's on however.

I have been watching Thursday's Celebrity Masterchef and been having my tea hence why I disappeared.

Cacoethes 17-09-2024 07:25 AM

Morning everyone

long road 17-09-2024 08:58 AM

Morning!

I have been woken by drilling (they are installing new emergency lighting in my block of flats). I am not best pleased especially as they started drilling before 9am.

Got my noise cancelling headphones on now trying to block out the noise.
