Watch us wreck the mike, watch us wreck the mike, watch us wreck the mike.
Psych.

Now gather nicely in groups of no more than six...
Unless you're outdoors in Wales...

Oh well, come on in whatever the laws where you are. Plenty of space in this bubble of sanity Wink

Broke the law this morning hanging out with friends. Driving home Queen Nicola announced this weekend will be pivotal and “difficult choices made”.

Presumably the hardest to vocalise would be “yer on yer own - it’s up to you and your immune system”.

@justasking111

OK being serious now if you have young children who make a santa list well get them to make it now. DIL has a friend high up in the toy world purchasing wise says buy now, put away or you may not get it. The slow boat from china container wise has ground to a halt so when it is gone it may be gone. So many ports around the world are refusing entry coz of covid. I am only telling you guys coz I know the media either are not reporting this or do not know.
Ooh thank you. I have already picked a few bits up but i might get it finished now you've said that.

Yep she is gearing up for another useless lockdown over school hols. Won't be booking holiday now. Bitch!

Got some sweets for Halloween and even a xmas present for ds2 and 2 bags of Xmas choc popping candy pudding sweets. The one thing I wanted was bloody loo roll in HB but it was all gone! Are we panic buying again? Even in B&M the stocks were really low on loo rolls. Need to check after work on Sunday their loo rolls are way better than any other cheap ones. (Fussy? Who me?)
Cafe not much different had to use the online code or write your name and phone number on a bit of paper. Otherwise no other madness. Had a good read and relax before hitting the shops.
Got tons of shopping as added extra stuff like lightbulbs, cleaning products, washing tablets etc that always seem to run out all at once so need to sort out my cupboards and defrost fecking fridge freezer thats not working properly freezer is white with thick frost😠
Sat at beach to have a sarnie but despite the sunshine the wind was bloody cold so didn't stay long. Lots of families out and about though, kids never feel cold!

Incredible here @Willow2017 not a cloud in the sky and mill-pond flat. A swim-up bar would’ve been nice...

I’m considering mopping up to aviemore tomorrow as it’s going to be roasting (for aviemore natch).

You need some lactulose yet?
BogRollBOGOF · 18/09/2020 15:13

Decathlon still looked depleted when I was in there a few days ago. Probably just as well because it's a dangerous shop to let me loose in even if I don't have a lengthy shopping list for the family!

No idea what the DCs will want for Christmas. Back in March, DS2 only said "Pokemon Cards". DS1 has a festive birthday to add to the pressure. They play a lot, but don't really need new stuff. I could do with clearing out the old stuff that they ignored for 5.5 months too, but they're hoarders...

BogRollBOGOF · 18/09/2020 15:15

Oh God, lactulose reminds me of the aftermath of DS2's birth... I didn't use toilet roll for a month after that! Grin
I also did not leave the house for a month!

@ISaySteadyOn , I am also a bit Hmm with some teachers on here and elsewhere. I try to be quite liberal and remember that everyone has experienced and continues to experience different things but I am amazed at some attitudes.

Had a lovely walk in the Peak district today and Bakewell was flocked to sadly-death with tourists. Lovely to see it vibrant and busy.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 18/09/2020 16:44

I have a job interview Tuesday. It’s not the job of my dreams. It’s a Christmas contract and would ease my financial pain from lockdown.

It’s not going to happen is it?

Fuck YOU single mum. Enjoy your scraps.

Bollss · 18/09/2020 16:54

well thats the whole of calderdale back in extra restrictions.

Its pissing me off because nearby leeds has a lot more cases per 100,000 than we have and yet they are merely an "area of concern" whoever is making these decisions clearly doesnt know their arse from their elbow do they?

Vibrant and busy? Like a FUNERAL???

Currently biding time before the return to Karate.

This week has been discombobulating. Cases are low locally. Picking up about half of our normal activities. There is a reasonable veneer of normality chez Bogroll.

Most relations are in local lockdown and social media is getting twitchy and it's hard to rationalise that we're not supposed to go for a walk with another family and that people are baying for more lockdown.

Some nearby areas are seeing increasing numbers around the small towns. But the city was hit early and has had a steady trickle since.

Nope. Scotland has 48 people in hosp IN TOTAL with covid yet nippy is going to hit us with a lockdown over school hols it's almost guarenteed now.
I am amazed that wee covid will give up in that time and fly off to the moon never to be seen again...Well that's the plan isn't It? makes as much sense as anything the gov has spouted so far
Willow2017 · 18/09/2020 17:29

I was putting stuff in drawers i have in the hole in between cupboards in kitchen and stood up too close to counter and whacked my head a good un. Had a bit of a cry and realised i wanted a full on greet out of sheer frustration but ds2 came down at precisely that minute and gave me a cuddle so i didn't want to let rip and upset him. Just absolutely fed up and the idea that the gov are already planning for a lockdown or tightening of restrictions in school hols is pissing me off as wanted to do something then. Even a week away to a cheap caravan anywhere but here would have been bliss. Now there is no point I can't afford to lose money for No good reason.
Screw you NS. Hope this all comes back.and bites you on.the arse pdq.

Ds girlfriend from Sowerby, back in Leeds uni. she cannot believe Calderdale is on the list and not Leeds yet.
JamSarnie · 18/09/2020 17:57

Totally pissed off with the whole leaking to the press before they decide to do something.

Mentally crashed today. I have been WFH for 6 months and just can't stand any more of this. I'm tired of it all.

DominaShantotto · 18/09/2020 18:01

Oh fucking god at the news headlines - we're back in fucking March again.

Oh dear fucking god - not more clapping, arseface neighbour, shitty rainbows...

FFS just looked at the bbc website.

I am meant to be going away next week in England. Wish they would say what they are planning so I can decide whether to cancel and stay at home even though I am desperate for a break away.

justasking111 · 18/09/2020 18:15

DS GP surgery the health board just announced one member of staff tested positive so some of them sent home to isolate for 14 days, surgery will be very short staffed until 28th September.

Willow2017 · 18/09/2020 18:22

We still gave rainbow puctures up at work i wanna scrunch them all up! They have been there months it's time they went.
Noticed a sign in B&M they are still doing NHS will get priority am and pm and our place still doing discounts and special offers/gifts for NHS ffs!

LivinLaVidaLoki · 18/09/2020 18:24

We can't order a papa johns as they are short staffed due to covid.
Stick a fork in me, I'm fucking done 😁😂

RobinHobb · 18/09/2020 18:26

Fuck me just saw the headlines
I fucking hate the rainbows
Everytime I see one all I see is a kid that's been incarcerated so that the elderly can jaunt around garden fucking centres
And I hate the nhs; I can't even get an appointment for a flu jab for my 3yo (bitchy receptionist first reaction is she should get it at nursery; not our problem) far less an actual appointment for anything real.
I'm not thinking clearly
Boris can go fuck himself
I have no family and very few friends here in Surrey but the minute schools close I am back in lock down and schools are about to fucking close because Boris has effectively closed them by being unable to provide testing.
I'm pissed off; this is sheer mismanagement on a massive scale
Rant over
