Tipping over the edge, need a non corona virus related distraction. Going slowly and silently bonkers.
Thank you

I'm going bonkers too, only mine is noisily and quickly 😂

How about a story about 'my friend' who drunkenly bought the most disgusting hawiian shirt and a paddling pool from amazon for her boyfriend to make up for the lack of holiday this year, and didnt remember until they showed up at the door? definitely wasnt me, honest

Difficult thank you, has your ‘ friend’ blown it up yet?

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 25/05/2020 22:09

Yes, it was 8ft and my, I mean her, garden is tiny. The boyfriend is wandering around in the hideous shirt out of pity, and says he really likes it, but is clearly lying.

It's all going a bit nuts here Grin

What's been your strangest buy during this madness?

As a rule our newish dpuppy likes the sea.
Except today when we had to hurry past some rocks as the tide was coming in. Had to carry her... She is 20 kg!! And very long legs!
I should have carried her home - social distancing enforced by a big flailing leg as we passed the ones who think rules do not apply!!

I think I may be slowly losing the plot too. Watching random stuff on You Tube, and looking at daft stuff on Instagram.

I think the 'ordering stuff online you don't need'phase is on it's way. I want a coffee table for the garden.

i think you win @RunningAwaywiththeCircus are you going to do a Gwyneth and steam your parts? Grin

Timetospare · 25/05/2020 22:28

A laminator, now you’re talking.....
I could use one to do the ‘lady parts’ wipe clean? Instructions for use?

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 25/05/2020 22:31

You steam your lady parts? Shock what fresh hell is this. I though the tenth of a second I epilated for was bad....

Timetospare · 25/05/2020 22:32

Windy our little elderly hound is being walked to death at the moment, so leaving that to others,
@Sparklingbrook tell me more about random stuff, that’s what I need

I ordered a water flosser and it came labelled as oral irrigator which sounded a bit.. strange Grin

jugglingbeans · 25/05/2020 22:41

My random orders include a bee watering station, origami paper and a humane mouse trap.

jugglingbeans · 25/05/2020 22:42

And two coffee tables for the garden

Horses4 · 25/05/2020 22:44

I’m currently googling trying to find out why one of our garden crows bangs on my bedroom window and yells at me every morning. Any corvid experts here?

Horses4 · 25/05/2020 22:45

(So yes, also going bonkers)

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 25/05/2020 22:45

Oral irrigator sounds like a name you would find on a dating app Grin

Sparklingbrook · 25/05/2020 22:52

Random stuff on YouTube-

A lady from America who goes into Dollar Tree and tidies the shelves up. Strangely relaxing.

An american vocal coach called Ken Tamplin who reviews singer and gives singing lessons.

Americans watching and commenting on The Inbetweeners.

Tell me about garden coffee tables @jugglingbeans

Timetospare · 25/05/2020 22:52

@jugglingbeans yes, yes Origami paper is missing from this house!
@Horses4 I had an early Covid dream that conflated Covid and corvids Grin

I love my water flosser. It's multipurpose, flosses teeth/cleans around the bathroom taps/ wakes up lazy teenagers.

jugglingbeans · 25/05/2020 22:56

coffee table

jugglingbeans · 25/05/2020 22:58
