In this heat! Bravo 👏🏻

Anordinarymum · 11/08/2020 19:38

The worrying thing is though... although the bookcases are sturdy and not in the least bit wobbly...

.. there are a few screws spare :)

Just put them in the odds and sods drawer and pretend it didn't happen 👀

FredaFrogspawn · 11/08/2020 19:44

Very impressed! I washed the pillows and watered my feet as well as the flowers.

I bought myself some comfy shoes. I have bad feet. But I finally went and bought myself some shoes that should help. They are ugly looking and I look like I’m in my 70’s. But damn my feet don’t hurt now.

I also bought myself a little mini fan for when I wear my face mask. Being menopausal, hot flushes and a face mask is not pretty.

Bought myself a blue hydrangea and some granules to keep it blue !

... went to the dentist for deep clean and the annual check up. I need a filling to save me from a root canal.

Bobbiepin · 11/08/2020 20:04

Bought my first new swimsuit in a long time. It’s lovely and so much more flattering to my saggy boobs than the old one

Cooked spaghetti bolognaise, stood in front of the freezer a lot, weighttrained, ate ice

Kab30 · 11/08/2020 20:12

I’m so sorry to hear that TheSun.

Was it unexpected? But shit either way.

I bought my dad's birthday present, it's the wrong one, so I've got to go back an exchange it before his birthday next week 🤦‍♀️

Sarahlou63 · 11/08/2020 20:23

This morning I went into Sherie Hewson's kitchen and chopped her into small pieces.

This afternoon I went into Jeff Brazier's bedroom and dissected him. He's got very...interesting wallpaper.

lachy · 11/08/2020 20:26

Had a strop. Then burst into tears

(I blame the weather and hormones)

TheSunIsStillShining · 11/08/2020 21:07

@CasuallyMasculine

No, I've been expecting this call for over 2 months now.
Universe has now nudged me to finally write my book (child development through play) and start my own consultancy.

Or universe just nudged me to start looking for another job.
We'll see....

Sounds like something good came out of it at least Smile

@CasuallyMasculine

well, not yet, but hoping to get my act together finally and do it :)
I'll take your nice words as kind encouragement though. Every small bit helps :D

Lockdownseperation · 11/08/2020 22:48

Wore a swimming costume on a U.K. beach and went in the water with the children.

Anordinarymum · 12/08/2020 00:33

Glad it wasn't just me then :)

I am now feeling smug that I went to IKEA, bought the stuff, came home and assembled it and put it in place. I even took photos and sent them to my son who thinks I am senile and totally incapable of doing anything although.. I did have to phone my daughter because I forgot the bloody PIN number on my card :(
