Fiiiiiine I'll pack...hate packing, even for holidays!

BelgianWhistles · 06/01/2020 18:54

Yes, quit your job. No job is worth sacrificing your mental health for (I did this and it was the best decision- have faith!)

Should I wake my husband from his nap so we can eat? He’s been asleep 2.5 hours now

TheReef · 06/01/2020 18:57

Yes, wake him, he'll never sleep tonight.

Should I get my nails done in chrome rose gold or am I too old (46)

BikeRunSki · 06/01/2020 20:10

Wash up first @lucysmam, get the biting stuff out of the way. Unless this would mean there is not enough hot water for a shower. I don’t live in Donny, but I’m there at least once a week - frequently more - for work. Dry at 1pm good though, my (outdoor) meeting is at 12.30 pm.

lucysmam · 06/01/2020 20:15

I got in the shower instead & now I cba Hmm

I'd prefer no rain around 12:30pm...I'm a dinner lady & don't much like indoor play time, I'd much rather be out in the fresh air playing tig with the 6yo's

BikeRunSki · 06/01/2020 20:16

Sorry, my question

Please sugguest to me a non-spicy vegetarian meal my blood-thirsty children will eat. Apart from macaroni cheese.

sonjadog · 06/01/2020 20:34

Get your nails done. There is no "too old" for nail colours.

Should I get up early and get the train home on Wednesday and work on the train, or wait until the end of the working day and then get the train home (train journey is 5 hours)?

fizzymango · 06/01/2020 21:34

Work on the train. Killing two birds with one stone!

I’ve come down with a sudden horrible fever and cough today. Should I ring in sick at work tomorrow?

TheReef · 06/01/2020 21:47

Yes ring in sick, no one will thank you for passing your germs around

Should I buy a second hand designer handbag to carry my laptop around for work

crankysaurus · 06/01/2020 21:52

Yes, that sounds really cool.

Should I dye my gray hair?

GlitteryGracie · 06/01/2020 21:52

@BikeRunSki my super fussy youngest loves Quorn (chicken style pieces) risotto and my sister makes a butternut squash version which is lovely too.

@fizzymango if you feel like you're too ill to work then don't, spend a day getting better.

My question, should I book a mini break just for myself or spend the money on a more expensive holiday for me and the dc?

Sockypuppet · 06/01/2020 21:52

Yes, work is grim and you need to cheer yourself up.

How long will it take me to get into splits?

RuffleCrow · 06/01/2020 21:57

Is that a decision? If so you should definitely attempt the splits but onlt in lycra, leg warmers and a headband. It will take 17 minutes.

Should I say hi to The Guy?

UnderTheButtNutHut · 07/01/2020 00:09

Of course you should. Not just hi, ask him out!

Should I got on holiday this year which I need new passports for 4 people (love holidays)
Or
Do a staycation and rent a house somewhere which is gonna cost the same kind of money.

Tillygetsit · 07/01/2020 02:55

Rent a house. God knows what's happening with passports after Brexit and you don't want to fork out twice.
Can I take off gel varnish with ordinary nail polish remover or am I going to have to go back to the nail bar?

Pashola · 07/01/2020 03:21

I think you'll have to go back to the nail bar.

Should I stay at my new current job (2months) or go back to my old workplace in a new role?

Sockypuppet · 07/01/2020 05:08

Go back to your old workplace. If the new job were a good fit you wouldn't even be considering leaving.

How can I have nice hair after 50? It's all thinning and scuzzy.

BikeRunSki · 07/01/2020 07:34

I’ve found that a shorter cut and the salon shampoo and conditioner sold by my hairdresser have made a huge difference to my hair (I’m 49).

How do I get DS out of bed? I can’t continue being late for work every day. He’s 11.

SuperMeerkat · 07/01/2020 12:34

Boring but You need to take away any technology the night before and get him into a routine so he goes to bed at a decent time every night, around 9 i’d say. Tell him he needs to be up 1 hour before you need to leave and start the wake up routine on time everyday with you getting out of bed 10 mins before him. If he won’t get out of bed then just tell him no treats 😂

Could someone tell me a few lunches for work that are easy to prepare please?!!

Sockypuppet · 07/01/2020 19:36

Get some wrap bread and make different wraps. You can put in leftover vegetables and meat, cheese, hummus, salad leaves. Wrap in cling film. Easy to carry and eat.

Sockypuppet · 07/01/2020 19:38

Should I do a yoga teacher training? I'm already an exercise instructor.

BikeRunSki · 08/01/2020 07:53

That sounds like very complementary training to your existing qualifications.

Would you book a trip to Egypt at the moment? (We have friends out there for the next 9 months or so, but DH is twitchy about instability in the Middle East becoming wider spread; dc are 8 and 11, would be Feb half term or Easter).

Lordfrontpaw · 08/01/2020 19:44

Nope, not Egypt sadly (I’d love to see the archaeology).

Shall I get into my PJs now or is it too early?

2020yeah · 08/01/2020 19:46

Oh goodness yes, I'm already in mine. Comfy.

I have the toddler asleep in my bed, I have to stay with him as he had a general anaesthetic today. Do I watch a film on my phone, or just have an incredibly early night?

LittleBing · 08/01/2020 19:48

Go to sleep. Should I do an access course to do my dream job even though the next four years will be INCREDIBLY hard?
