The 'I need a distraction' thread.

I can see Beckie's pont Lindsay ... XD
Aviation fuel is expensive and maintenance is bound to cost as I don't know of many helicopter garages XD. That and you would need flying lessons!!!! Who knows how much those cost. Helicopters do sound fun though and much less traffic to deal with and definitely no cyclists!

Burger and chips is is apparently 2 minutes away. Ninja Lindsay! I have gone for a simple burger today just cheese onions and ketchup. Often have gherkins but not today.

I am cooking chicken in bbq sauce with cheese and also rice! No pasta in sight! (I did suggest pasta though) XD

that's ridiculous lindsay. Honestly the people that make these decisions need to spend a few days with the services they are planning to cut! Maybe they'd change their tune.

Might be worth the helicopter costs to not deal with mental cyclists XD

That's very different from what you usually make, Beckie! Sounds nice, I will be popping over for a second dinner!

Oh I do like gherkins too. Enjoy. :)

I have a small Easter egg for my 7.30pm snack. I've been on the Easter eggs for a while now!

Hello all. I think I have worked out the confusing letter from the council. I think it's nothing to worry about and it's a letter they have to send by law out. They're not asking for any money. If they want me to do anything they'll send another letter out. Still confused by the PayPal email but there's no links in it so I think it's genuine. There's no spelling mistakes or anything that sounds scammy.

Cpn appointment went ok. I did a lot of talking. I get on very well with her Lindsay. Gave an card for mh nurses day because next time I see her it will be after the day. I only give cards to people that I like.

I don't usually make dinner.
I have cooking anxiety! I CAN cook, but I worry I'll get it wrong. But L was feeling ill, so didn't want her cooking.

Easter egg! Yummy!
Easter chocolate just hits different

I'm feeding Colin Robinson for the first time tomorrow.
Have put a mouse in the fridge to defrost XD

[Cacoethes]

Morning everyone!

[long road]

Morning!

[Cacoethes]

Hey jen
Howre you doing?

[long road]

Not too bad. Tired but breathing seems a bit better than yesterday, hopefully improvement continues. Just come back to bed after doing meds and breakfast as not awake enough to stay up.

How are you?

[Cacoethes]

Fingers crossed
Hopefully the rest helps

I'm ok. We're just about to go to mini golf and lunch for our early valentines day. We're both working on actual valentines day so doing it today!
We exchanged presents and cards this morning

I also fed Colin Robinson for the first time this morning! It was fascinating watching him eat tbh!
He fell off his shelf when he struck at the mouse XD

[long road]

Hope you enjoy your substitute valentine's day! Me and my partner tend not to celebrate it and focus on our anniversary instead. Partly because V Day is only 6 days before my birthday and partly because it's a lot easier to get restaurants etc not on V Day!

You and L are so cute <3

Sound alike having Colin Robinson is like having your our own nature documentary at home!

[tamobhuuta]

Good afternoon all. Alternative valentines sounds like a really good idea.

[one_step_closer]

Afternoon everyone.

I don't think I could deal with feeding a mouse to a snake! I hope you and L enjoy your day together.

I hope you can have a much better day today, Jen.

Hi ninja Tamo! How are things with you?

[not_so_insig]

Afternoon all. I have been wild swimming. The water was 6 degrees today. Now trying to warm up with a coffee.

[long road]

Hey Tamo, Lindsay and Dawn! How are we all today?

I actually have a bit of a phobia around snakes, when I was little even rubber ones or seeing them on the TV ould really scare me. Not as bad now but always skip the reptile section at the zoo! Did manage to hold a snake once a few years back, so definitely more comfortable but.definitely couldn't own/ look after a snake.

Hope your coffee warms you up Dawn.

I am still doing fairly well breathing wise today. Lungs are starting to get a little grumpy this afternoon but been managing with inhaler and breathing exercises rather than needing to escalate to a nebuliser.

[tamobhuuta]

I'm ok thanks. Trying to behave myself until my mum visits at 5pm.

Ew at snake feeding!

[long road]

Hope you can manage to stay safe and enjoy your visit with your Mum Tamo <3

[Cacoethes]

It was really lovely thanks!
I won mini golf. I always do
Then we went to prezzo, went to get some hay for the boys, went to asda and got L some new fish from pets at home.
I've also sewn up the pockets in my coat because there were massive holes in them, and all my stuff kept disappearing into the lining XD
Now trying to call the garage to sort some new tyres. Mine are looking a bit sketchy after a bad pothole. Not like 'fail an MOT' bad. But I drive on the motorway a lot, so I'd rather get it sorted ASAP than risk blowing a tyre somewhere dangerous!

Hope you enjoy your visit tamo!

Hopefully that will be enough to keep your lungs happy jen

[one_step_closer]

That sounds like torture, Dawn! I sometimes feel almost unbearably cold even when I'm in my house with the heating on!

I'm not keen on snakes but the edited photos with them wearing hats are kind of cute.

Hope you're doing ok, Jen.

I hope you are alright and had a nice visit with your Mum, Tamo.

Your money seems to be literally burning a hole in your pocket, Beckie! If you had money in your pocket that is.

I have just found a tiny bit of popcorn in my belly button.
