Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news THE SEQUEL

[ReallySpicyCurry]

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'm lying in bed to get an early night tonight but am really thirsty so will have to go back down to get a drink.

Ds brought home someone else's jumper from school today. I dont think I put a name tag on his jumper that is now lost and will probably never be returned. Ds jumper is 9-10, the one he brought home is 5-6.
One week in and we have lost one drink bottle and one jumper.

I'd planned to wash my hair this morning, but when I got up I couldn't be bothered so I just scraped it up. I then spent a bit longer choosing appropriate earrings.

@mathanxiety I do but ds regularly falls out of bed despite being nearly 7 so I'm loathe to wear them when he's asleep, especially when it's just me and him in the house

There is a mouse/rat/bird/monster living in the loft above me and it has been for nearly a year now. Have laid traps but it has so far avoided them and secretly I've grown quite fond of it. Just needs a name...

I just put my hair in the neatest Dutch plaits I've ever done. Shame it's just for bed and wavy hair in the morning.

Stamen196 can it be called Mythical Mothical?

reading medical journals about pain after stroke to better understand /help some of the residents in the care home I work in. I am not a nurse, just a hca

It's heartwarming to read about such care for your residents. I took a quick look at the Cochrane reviews and had no idea it was such a complex area.

DH tried out the tip about using the robot vacuum on the mattress despite his scepticism. Colour him surprised that:
it didn't fall off;
it extracted a fair amount of gunk.

I just love this thread.

I bought a really nice cake tin with a silver handle on the lid from Sainsburys for £8.
They had a matching biscuit tin, but I didn't need a new biscuit tin, so I put it back on the shelf.

Also went to neighbours who returned from holiday for a brew and chat eldest was meant to be in bed at eight, didn't check time it was 9pm when we got in, and she made me sing amazing grace sang for the third time and read a book... I am making a sandwich for pack lunch and I cannot be bothered to cut the crusts, I also have ran out of tin foil and cling film so a torn carry bag and princess sticker will do

What is a Dutch plait?
My cordless Hoover vacuum cleaner is making an alarmingly loud noise but conversely appears to be picking up much better. I toyed with the idea of addressing this by googling it or visiting their website, but I couldn't be arsed, even though it is within the guarantee period. I now feel that I have wasted my day and I am in work for a 12.5 hour shift tomorrow so I cannot remedy this slackness.

I found a nearly full jar of kalamata olives in the back of the fridge that must have been there two years. The lid was stuck on and the olives had soft brown blotches. I threw them in the compost and recycled the jar.

I have put olives on my shopping list.

I picked a bucket of damsons today and will be attempting to make damson jam tomorrow. Wish me luck.

I keep getting attacked by things in my bedroom, first it was a spider, then the curtain rail fell off and clonked me on the head, now I just heard a creak and looked back and the window was coming towards me. Ducked and swung it behind my head so it's fully open, it's the wind. It's a large opening inwards window.

I've got someone coming around tomorrow to fix curtains.

DS2(2) informed me today that cheese is his favourite.

I'm utterly fascinated by my new LED lamp.

You have to tap it so I do it through on, stronger, more strong, off then look at it in awe.

It's like a kitten playing with a ball of wool.

It’s peeing down today so DS and I will be driving rather than cycling to his haircut. We have speech therapy straight afterwards, so we all have to take our temperatures in a bit before the therapist can come. Then we have to have all the windows open while she’s here. It’s going to be chilly!

I bought a new (to me, anyway) jumper from eBay and it arrived yesterday. It’s a bit too short in the body to wear with skinny jeans but it looks fine with straight jeans. I won another one too, so waiting for that to arrive as well. Then I’ll have to do a wool wash as I don’t like the smell of other people’s washing powder.

@QuestionableMouse. I wish I could get damsons. We used to live near a damson tree, and I made loads of jam, and once some damson gin; but we moved, and you never see them for sale.

By the way, I cooked the damsons first and fished out the stones before I added the sugar. The little b**s are impossible to stone when raw.

@Frownette Or the Whiskas advert "Day, night, day, night; what is this sorcery that turns day into night?" Cat tapping a table lamp.

It's exactly that

Damsons sound nice.

My non exciting news for today: I did the washing up just now, boiled the kettle and spritzed the kitchen with anti virus spray. The BBC should really follow me but they're worried about shattering the system with all the wildcat antics I get up to.

Sitting in the car outside the hairdressers with DS. The hairdresser seems to be running late. Hope she catches up as we have speech therapy at 11...

I'm very lucky because I have a lovely neighbour who let me at her tree. She usually makes jam herself but she's so busy with work right now that she's not and it seemed such a shame for them to be wasted.

Deffo removing the stones once they're cooked. Life's too short to fight with a fruit 😂😂😂

Verging on too exciting here I know but my new bargain coat arrives today and I can't wait to try it on. 😊😊

But that IS exciting!
