This is the one where the news remains dull, and all the irons you bought in the last thread have developed limescale.

I had a slice of toast and now I feel a bit sick. It must be because I am low carbing.The toast was worth it though,it was slightly cold and hard so the butter went on the way it used to in a 1990s B&B.

I ordered a wheelbarrow. It came today.

I am having a Taylor's coffee bag, 'Rich Italian Roast'.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 29/08/2020 15:07

I finally worked out how to kill Siri. She has gone! I no longer nearly activate her when I press my delete key.

I remember those coffee bags in the 80’s. You can still get those plastic one serve filter coffee things too.

LittleHootie · 29/08/2020 15:09

Thinking about getting venetian blinds. Might lose the hall carpet too.

This might be too exciting for this thread. But today DH took the DC to his mum's. And they won't be back until TOMORROW! None of them! I've had a shower, changed into comfy clothes and am sat on the sofa drinking tea, eating the nice biscuits, crocheting and catching up on my choice of TV. No-one has asked me for anything for hours.

Today I will be building some flat pack furniture. I know this is probably too much in one day, but I been up into the attic and got my electric screw driver down as well.

My eye is itchy. It’s my right eye (your left)
I don’t know why.
It’s the tear duct area.

lucylocketspockets · 29/08/2020 15:50

I have got Great Tits.

I've wanted them for years and finally I've got them in the garden for the first time today.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 29/08/2020 15:52

Snork. 😂

Hay fever?

I've just had a new shopping trolley delivered from Amazon. I may be a little excited.

Ginsmything · 29/08/2020 16:21

My OH has just messaged me to say he is having to queue to go into Waitrose to buy our wine for tonight. First time in weeks, must be busy.

Deathraystare · 29/08/2020 16:27

Well this may just take you all over the edge but I am going in regardless!

Got up at stupid o'clock to shower and hair wash as our hot water turned off from 6 o'clock!

Two hours later sat on bed to do make up (not going in to work until 1.30). I unfortunately have a habit of nodding off ( I have sleep apnea and Norcolepsy). I 'came to' with a full eye of liner (like shadow) and it was also up my arm. So of course I had to wipe it off and start again. Still got some up my arm.

On a previous occasion I managed to mascara my duvet....

@lissie123

Had to family hamster put down yesterday. Riddled with cancer - but now at peace x
I am sorry for your loss Flowers.

We lost our guinea pig a couple of weeks ago. House is empty.

SpeedofaSloth · 29/08/2020 16:52

I wore my big coat today. I got a bit hot so I took it off and carried it, then I put it on again later when the sun went in.

AlCalavicci · 29/08/2020 16:55

I have not caught up with the whole thread yet so sorry if this has already been said @Deathraystare & @Purplecatshopaholic have a look at this thread , there is a lot of love for Eufys including from me , www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3994205-Any-new-Eufy-Robovac-parents-out-there?msgid=99545047,
But be warned there may be too much excitement for you to handle.

I am contemplating going for a bath but I am hungry and I cant decide which to sort out first

Deathraystare · 29/08/2020 17:15

AlCalavicci - Oh one of those! Not really tempted. My room is so small anyway. I think I may save up for a shark as I shred hair like nobody's business. I wish it would stay on my head - or better still migrate to my eyebrows/lashes - but obvs shorter please!

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 29/08/2020 17:17

Took my AB and will now go and feed / cuddle NDN cats.

BenWyattsLowCalCalzoneZone · 29/08/2020 17:20

I've just ordered a flask. I can't find my old one and I want to take soup to work when it's cold outside. This flask is yellow so maybe it'll be harder to lose.

Cocolapew · 29/08/2020 17:47

I've put the heating on.

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 29/08/2020 18:06

Heating on here too. I am watching Tony Robinson walking the River Thames and have a new book next to me which I'd like to make a start on.

lachy · 29/08/2020 18:16

@Cocolapew

I've put the heating on.
Considering doing the same. DH is arguing against this, DD and I are calling him a miserable tightwad.

(I'm putting it on regardless)

forgetthehousework · 29/08/2020 18:24

We went out this morning for a day out in the fresh air but it was too fresh so we came home at lunchtime.

I had honey sandwiches for tea.
Please don't judge me ...

How did it go?
Any special technique deployed?
The cat and I have recently had an unpleasant experience.[/quote]
He actually doesn't mind too much, this time only made one half arsed escape attempt.
He stands in the bath and i shower his back half and then wrap him in a towel for a bit to dry.
