Good morning Laura and everyone else. Sorry your throat is still sore Laura, hope it feels better soon. Enjoy making plans for your new home, I love the spoon you have chosen for your your Christmas tree. The first of many special things for a special home.
Also @Apolloneuro sorry you are still feeling unwell, hope things improve. Enjoy getting your roots done, a bit of pampering always makes me feel better.

Good morning @AdmittowearingCrocs how are you today?
Ive started making a list of things I need but I’m going to wait until I’ve seen it in person before deciding xx

Hope you have a lovely rest day and enjoy some of your book. Glad the throat is OK, have you got any throat sweets or anything to take for it?

It was a bit of screwed up paper made into a pretend snail I think! I don't think it was even papier macho - it was just a little play, not a big production (thank god!).

The World Trade Centre museum sounds like it'd be really moving and important to see.

Thank you @RaspberryBeretxx I haven't got any throat sweets but I’m going to order some honey and lemon to get delivered so I will order some throat sweets too.
Awww I bet you looked so cute in that play! I never got leading parts I always wanted to be the angel at Christmas but I was always a sheep xx

At the age of 60, I’m so grey nothing stands between me and my hairdresser appointments!

@RaspberryBeretxx what a strange choice for a school play, a play about a prostitute 😂

Remember to smile while you are speaking so you sound friendlier. There's a real satisfaction is killing with kindness I find. I've used it a few times in the workplace 😂

nornironlady · 06/11/2024 10:04

@Apolloneuro sorry to hear you are still feeling so horrible. I'd probably not forgo my root appointment either though 😂What I really was thinking with regards to the council - revenge is a dish best served cold!

Neither would I 😂
I’m going to kill them with kindness but I might just mention that the MP was pleased to hear the news 😂xx

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , that spoon bauble is lovely isn’t it.
😂😂😂😂sorry but that is so funny , was it a real snail?
I’d really like to go and see the World Trade Centre museum too.
I don’t have any plans for today , probably will read some of my book and need to make a few phone calls. Throat still hurts and is swollen but it’s manageable at the moment.
I will keep everything crossed that your car passes it’s MOT xx

Hope you have a lovely rest day and enjoy some of your book. Glad the throat is OK, have you got any throat sweets or anything to take for it?

Morning my lovelies. Feel a bit rough still so have cancelled everything apart from one hours work and getting my roots done.

@nornironlady your last post made me LOL. After pointing out to the CEO the disgusting way you were spoken to, I think everyone will be very polite to you Laura xx

Morning @Apolloneuro , awww you poor thing I really hope you start feeling better soon. Thinking of you and sending big hugs 🤗
Right big girls pants on , I’m in a queue xx

Oh, that spoon bauble is beautiful! I need a spoon bauble as my "one" this year.

Also love Pretty Woman! We randomly did a play of it at my (all girls) school when I was about 13 - i was the waiter that caught the snail that she flicked!

That NY Home Alone experience sounds brilliant. I wanted to do the Sex and the City tour when I was there but ran out of time as we only had a spare day as I was there with work.

I've just listened to the Children in Need song - I'll stand by you - which is one of my favourite songs anyway and it's really beautiful.

Good luck with your call to the council. Think "business head" on - get it sorted and be really neutral and civil. It'll be OK (totally get you though as I hate phone calls a the best of times!). Do you have anything else on today? Hope you're feeling better.

My car has gone in to be MOT'd today so I've got everything crossed it goes through OK and I get it back in reasonable time. He said he might have to keep it till tomorrow though.

Hope you're feeling OK @Apolloneuro and the new ABs kick in quick.

Hugs to you @Ruralretreating , hope you're doing OK today Flowers

Hope everyone else has a lovely day! xx

Oh I wouldn't worry - is it the same department? Even if it is, you might not speak to the same person. Even if you do, just crack on as if you have no recollection of previous events - as civil and business-like as possible. It'll only be a few minutes of your day, and then you can think about spoons nicer things.

Hi @kittylion2 , yes it’s the same department where I’m blacklisted! Ok I’ll just call them and be civil and friendly . Why am I so scared?xx

Oh yes. And add @Imbluedalale is going shopping. New house shopping!

Was it really crap?I would like to go at Christmas though and do lots of shopping .
I need to ring the council this morning about sending them my offer letter but I am feeling nervous about ringing them because I’m not their favourite person right now xx

Oh you have made that NYC Plaza tour sound amazing. I will eat the pizza 😂That has to be one of the best scenes from Pretty Woman, I watched it non stop in my teens. I think your new house will be much better than The Ritz, filled with happiness, love and joy because it clearly shines through in your writing 😊

I stayed there once many years ago. It was crap.

😂😂😂😂It sounds amazing doesn’t it . I don’t think I could eat 16 scoops of ice cream though but I’ll try my best . Pretty woman is my all time favourite film. Richard Gere in it looks amazing. His facial expressions (🥵)
Awww that’s so lovely thank you so much xx

Remember the lady who made the comment about the Ritz? I’d love to send her a card with my favourite JR quote…
I wouldn’t give you the dust off my car! 😂

You’re too young to have watched it, but in the TV show Dallas they lived in a big old mansion called ‘Southfork’. Your lovely new home… ‘Northspoon’. I’ll see myself out now. Beyond happy for you!
