🤣 at Tuesday being pointless! You’re right - it’s a bit nothingy. They should just make it a 4 day week although then there’s no proper “middle day” so that’s a bit weird too!

shay blue are now following me round fb advertising 😂. There was one ad with clips from the Witcher for the Lilac and gooseberry fragrance. I loved that series! I think I need to go somewhere I can smell all of them!

I’m howling at Shay and blue stalking you 😂xx

Oh my god Laura I couldn't have put it better about Tuesday! I've always called it the 'nowhere' day. Monday the week is just getting going but on Tuesday it's nothing, by Wednesday you are on the way to the weekend again. Maybe this will change Tuesdays for you!

😂😂😂😂your so right , it’s just a nothing day . Nothing happens on a Tuesday (well apart from the last two Tuesdays for me). People don’t even book Tuesdays off work. It’s such an underwhelming day that just eat offer 20% off on Tuesdays and boots has £10 Tuesday because everybody knows that it’s a bad day xx

Oh wow wow 🤩. That’s just the best news!! So amazing that you can get the keys there and then!! 🤞🤞 for you it happens asap. Get that spoon 🥄 ready 😁😁😁

Thank you @RaspberryBeretxx it’s amazing news isn’t it. When I got the email I nearly jumped up but then realised I only had one working leg! My spoon is going to be so excited to not have to live in a suitcase anymore xx

Oh this is just the BEST news for you! I am beyond excited for you and Spoony. Everything is coming together. What a wild difference from last week; I'm just delighted you may have a home for Christmas. I have an image in my mind of you stepping into a cosy home for that first look around. Beyond exciting! Huge hugs to you!

Hi at @RaspberryBeretxx I’m definitely going to make a happy playlist once I’m in my new home. I’ve already had some fab suggestions to add to it. Thank you ❤️
Ive only tried the black tulip and English cherry blossom but I’m sure they are all lovely. Let me know what you go for.
If you ask me I think Tuesday is a pointless day , Monday is start of the week, Wednesday is middle of the week, Friday is the end of the week, Thursday is the ‘tomorrow is Friday’ end of the week so what’s Tuesday?It baffles me xx

I love that 😍- you'll get that confident women back! Maybe after the heartbreak playlist you'll need a happy/confident playlist 😄.

Ooh, thank you on the 20% off the Shay and Blue site. I'm torn on whether to get a 30ml or a tester set with a few! Lots of them sound lovely.

I'm a bit demotivated with work today 😣.

@Apolloneuro so sorry you've had an allergic reaction. Hope they can find a different antibiotic that will work for you.

This is fantastic news, I am so very happy for you. It’s almost as if that house was meant for you. Don’t forget you can get housing benefit and CT benefits. So you will likely be in for Christmas and be able to have your spoon Christmas tree 🎄

Thank you @AdmittowearingCrocs and you know what I really feel like it is meant for me I’ve just had a feeling since I applied . I’ve never felt that way about any of the properties before . What’s CT benefits? I did go on that entitled to website and it says I can get help towards my rent so I will apply for that once it’s definitely confirmed . Oh I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I might have a home for Christmas xx

Not bad news!
So I have just received an email from places for people to say I have been nominated for the house which I put for my 1st choice asking if I’m still interested so I thought I would give them a call. I spoke to the lady who had emailed me and she said I am the ‘only’ person being considered for the property and once I’ve sent my documents across they will arrange a viewing and aslong as I can pay 2 weeks rent up front they will give me the keys there and then! Oh I cannot believe it, I’m shaking!xx

Oh I love Prince , when I was younger I used to imagine he was singing to me ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ (I must have had confidence then) It was on my Walkman though so luckily nobody else could hear it xx

Good morning Laura,, @Apolloneuro and the rest of the tribe. Hope you slept well Laura and have managed to get some breakfast into you. Got to build up your strength for moving. For white goods, you can get a social worker or support staff to make an application to the Household fund. When I was working I did this for lots of people.
https://www.gov.uk/cost-living-help-local-council

@Apolloneuro sorry you have thrown an reaction to the penicillin. That happened to me when I was 17 following numerous bouts of tonsillitis. I now have to only have non penicillin based antibiotics and have a red warning band put on if I go into hospital. Hope you get suitable antibiotics to get that UTI cleared up and feel better soon.

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs How’s your day going? Good I hope.
I didn’t have a great sleep and also throat hurts when I swallow and feels swollen. I will keep an eye on it though, last time I had swollen tonsils I had to spend 80 mins in an MRI machine , that was torture!
Thank you for the link for the household fund. I will have a look at it . My support worker did mention about some grants once I’ve got a home , I will have to swallow my pride and ask for help with what I can xx

Morning all my new friends.

I hope you slept well, Laura.

My UTI drama continues as I displayed some signs of allergic response to the penicillin, so have to stop it and await an alternative.

Loving the reminiscing about gigs. I saw the Police in my mid-sized, southern town when I was about 15 and they were starting out. One of them (Stewart Copland?) signed my arm!

Hi @Apolloneuro , awww I’m so sorry to hear about your allergic response. I really hope the doctors can sort something else out for you today. Thinking of you and sending you a big cuddle xx

@nornironlady ha, I think I'd be the same with not wanting the hassle of a gig now! Prince was amazing though 😍(shame it was with a not very nice ex - we were only together a few months but I am glad I got to see Prince).

@PeggyMitchellsCameo The Diplomat s2 is on my list too. Glad it was good, I loved the first one. You made me laugh about Donald Trump in Elizabeth Arden Toasty Beige! I just can't imagine how any country could bring him back but it looks likely 😞.

I'm going to see if I can get a sample of Shay and Blue perfumes 😀

@RaspberryBeretxx Just to let you know that Shay and Blue have 20% off your first order on their website xx

Morning Spoon Crew! Loved catching up on your news @Imbluedalale fingers crossed for your new home.
And I also love catching up on everyone’s news bits - I loved Ludwig, will watch the new ITV drama in the day.
@RaspberryBeretxx you have seen Prince. Wow. That must have been quite the concert.
I have just put the news on. Donnie Trump reminds me of my days in beauty counters in my younger years. I worked on Elizabeth Arden and we used to have a foundation shade called Toasty Beige. Looks like he’s cornered the market.
I have just finished S2 of The Diplomat on Netflix - it’s brilliant.
Laura we all have our fingers and toes crossed for you. You have uplifted us all with your spirit. Here is to another day towards your freedom….

Hi @PeggyMitchellsCameo How are you today?
Thank you for crossing your fingers for me 🤞
😂😂😂I won’t be able to unsee it when looking at Donald Trump now .
I may not be successful this week with a home but I’m one step closer than I was yesterday.
Today’s definitely a different Tuesday compared to last Tuesday. We’ve come far in a week haven’t we spoon crew xx

Oh I love pink and especially that song. So jealous that you saw her in concert, that must have been amazing.

I think the last concert I went to was prince so shows how long ago that was 😳.

Hope you slept well Laura and that today brings something positive whatever that may be Flowers. I just had a look at Until I kill you. It sounds really good, I’ll earmark for when DP is at his as he doesn’t like to watch anything scary or unsettling! The new Hugh grant film sounded interesting but quite scary.

Thinking of you @Ruralretreating , hope you’re ok and sending hugs.

Has the penicillin kicked in @Apolloneuro ? Ludwig is on my list to watch so glad to hear it’s good 😊.

Hello everyone else! Hope you’re all well.

Im lazing in bed with a cup of tea but really should get up now! My boss is away so no coffee shop meeting today that we usually do. At least I don’t have to be outdoors presentable as it’ll just be me and the cat 😁.

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx How’s your day going? Good I hope. I didn’t sleep good again so I’m just snuggled under covers however I’m going to try and fight sleep until tonight and hope I will be tired enough by then to be able to sleep. I can feel the bags under my eyes 😕
I love itv dramas , have you watched ‘fool me once’ on Netflix with Michelle Keegan in? xx
