The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[Eska]

Yeah, I slept in and have just got on the train feeling a bit more alert for the walk to the station. It's only a five hour shift and then I'm meeting up with my mother who has come to see me.

Hope college is going ok Beckie!

I'm glad your CC is nice, Aubergine. I hope you feel better for having seen her :)

[Aubergine]

Sleeping in is nice! What are you going to do with your Mum?

[chinahorse]

Morning guys :)

Late starts with a short shift is the best combination eska. Hope seeing your mam is nice.

Hope college goes quickly beckie and you're feeling better.

Glad your cc is nice aubergine :)

I'm having a very lazy day to start my 6 days off. Lazing around in my pj's on the sofa is the plan. Might even shower and put on clean ones :-P

Also anyone have any CV tips? I'm swinging between arogant and under selling myself currently.

[not_so_insig]

It's been a long time since I had to do a cv so I have no tips.

The council men are working on the flat above me. Unfortunately they have their music on dead loud. The good news is that I am going out later so I can escape it and it won't be long that I have to put up with it when I return.

[not_so_insig]

Now they are using their drill. A lot. I am having to put the tv on a sound setting that's 4 times louder than normal. FFS! I am glad to get out later.

[Aubergine]

I don't mind taking a look at what you've got, Lilliie. Are you doing it for a particular job?


Oh dear, Dawn. Nightmare!

[not_so_insig]

I am in Caffè nero now so I have peace.

[Aubergine]

That's good, Dawn. What are you having in the cafe?


I might play piano.

[not_so_insig]

I will have a latte and a panini. Or cake.. I haven't quite decided lol.

[Cacoethes]

Im in my last lesson!
Soo tired!

[Aubergine]

Oh a latte sounds nice. Cake or panini sounds delicious! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to get. :)


I bought some blackcurrant and vanilla teabags today. I am looking forward to trying one later. :)

[Aubergine]

Hey Beckie! Well done for making it through. Last lesson - you can do it!

[Buttons.]

Well done Beckie :)

Blackcurrant tea sounds good.

I'm a bit west today but hopefully when I get my prescribed painkillers it will improve my mood some. Also dog is being very cute curled up sleeping currently, and other than that acting like she's never seen food in her life, because clearly human food is better than dog food :P

[Aubergine]

But human food IS better than dog food! Why have a chicken flavoured treat when you could have real chicken?! I hope you feel better when you're not in so much pain. Sounds horrible.


I treated myself to some belly pork today. It was reduced because of the use by date. Yum!

[Buttons.]

Yet so much human food is bad for dogs-cooked meat for example!

Yeah not big fan of the pain but **** happens.

I'm a complete weirdo when it comes to pork, don't like it outright or in bacon form but I do like sausages.

[Aubergine]

I did not know that cooked meat was bad for dogs!


Is that the same as me liking Twiglets but not Marmite?

Yeah long term cooked meat messes with their stomachs, raw meat is generally fine-sort of the opposite of people. I mean some dogs will tolerate it but it's not the best idea.

Ha ha the twiglet/marmite analogy is probably fairly accurate.

[Aubergine]

Poor doggies. I will know for future not to give any dog cooked meat! Every day's a school day!


What're you up to?

[Buttons.]

Ha ha sorry if I sounded preachy :P

I'm trying to decide which film to rewatch- Mulan or Mean girls-yes my life is very exciting. I also need to factor a cig break in. I know this sounds weird but has anyone found the lectric cig makes them cough more than 'normal'?

[Aubergine]

Hehe, you didn't. I just found it interesting! :)


I haven't seen either of those films! Sounds good though. Perhaps not exciting in the sky diving king of way, but still a nice thing to do. I hope you enjoy whichever one you decide!


I have never tried a cigarette, electric or otherwise. I hope someone can answer though. :)


I just put my belly pork in the oven. I usually have a hot meal in the evening, but couldn't wait. :P I'm going to have it with Smash and sweetcorn and gravy. :)
