ADs take the National Express when their lives' in a mess, it will make them smile

[BogRollBOGOF]

🎤On the National Express
There’s a jolly hostess
Giving porridge free
She’ll provide you with shots
amaretto or what
You like to seeeeee...

Going out was in style
Now we’re stuck in this aisle
Dream of being free
And it’s hard to get by
When your arse is the size
Of the furlough feeeeeee🎤

Bah ba ba la
Bah ba ba la

Tomorrow belongs to meee...

Welcome to the 17:38 to freedom, stopping at virtual hugs, critical discourse, and random tangents along the way. ETA unknown...

The Animals of Farthing Wood always reminds me of Marge Simpson eating the video of Bambi!

DS was so scared of the Numbertaker in Numberjacks that I had to say something to his reception teacher (the screaming nightmares really weren’t fun) and she looked at me like I was That Patent. Which I probably was...

Our school newsletter today has told us the children are not permitted to exchange Christmas cards because of COVID.

FFS.

My eyes have rolled so hard they’ve swivelled full circle.

Hello by the way - long time lurker here.

[justasking111]

I have 24 vhs tapes the farthing wood complete series, tried to get them converted to dvd £280 the man wanted. So did not do it. We loved Sunday morning with farthing wood.

Little Bear was something we both watched snuggled up together. I asked DS recently about it, he has no recollection at all.

Hate Peppa Pig though.

[Willow2017]

They couldnt find traces of covid in the London underground on sny surface so i doubt its on a xmas card! Ffs worlds gone mad. Dont teachers get post through thier letterbox?

[justasking111]

Remember yesterday I said I had bought some xmas tat from Aldi well I have done it again. Suddenly thought tonight DS who is moping at uni. needs a decorated room when he comes home, so tonight off I pop to Lidl, bought a led xmas tree, led candles, decorations etc. for his room.

I also ordered him a personalised tin of quality street with all his favourite flavours, sending it directly to uni. he will then have his own goodie tin when the sweets are finished.

[Orangeblossom7777]

Can they not quarantine the blessed cards in a post box or something for a few days...that is what they did with end of term school books. For goodness sake, they need to look at ways to deal with stuff instead of this 'we can't do it' attitude.

[Iheartmysmart]

I had a zoom call with a couple of colleagues earlier who are both still completely convinced that you can catch Covid from post and your shopping. I thought they were sensible and logical people - it would appear not!

I have flashing candy canes in the garden - they are hilariously tacky and every time DH complains I buy more tat this year. I normally do tasteful and minimalist but this year I think the kids need some more joy.

Just got called a Karen for objecting to a comment that said more young people need to die so people take this seriously. Sick bastard.

Boris 12 days of Christmas.

On the 12th Day of Christmas Boris gave to me
12 sanitisers
11 plastic visors
10pm curfew
9 months in lockdown
8 swabs and test kits
7 fucking face masks
6 people only
5 loo rolls
4 isolations
3 tier system.
2 metre distance
And a useless track and trace app.

My gp surgery sealed up their letterbox in lockdown 1. I think the chemist took on a lot of work for elderly patients who needed to communicate by post.

I’ve just been on the Tube. Not as bad as lockdown 1 but glad I didn’t have to travel any later.

Thanks OP for using my lyrics, made me smile!

[quote HereComesYourMam]@Curlygirl06 they started filming it the year after I was there, and I haven't been back, but I imagine it's much the same... the houses were always famously colourful, it's a very pretty place.[/quote]
I've always wanted to go there

[MissEWeatherwax]

I forgot all about the Fimbles, we went to see a stage production of Bananas in pyjamas and twice to the bloody Singing Kettle! I loved Phineas and ferb.
The ski slope sounds such a great idea, the only fancy bit I’m doing is dusting with edible gold glitter.

[MercyBooth]

I cant take the credit for that one It was shared on my fb. I just copied it out. Love it though. And i think it shows people wont take this shit over Christmas.

[justasking111]

We have helicopters zipping back and forth, getting ready for I am a celebrity they have already been abseiling in Anglesey, rather them than me. Ant and Dec, are staying up the road from us. OH walks the dogs in the woods there in the mornings, apparently lots of loiterers hoping to catch sight of the zany pair.

@MissEWeatherwax
"we went to see a stage production of Bananas in Pajamas"
You have my deepest sympathy.

I once had to go to a house, in a professional capacity, where there was a large number of homemade Bananas in Pajamas in the room. It was one of the more surreal afternoons of my career.

[Curlygirl06]

Whenever I have to weigh bananas at work, I sing that song in my head!

[Taswama]

Love the 12 days of Christmas!

Our school newsletter said the money collected for children in need will be quarantined and counted on Monday!

The kids horse riding for tomorrow has been cancelled as they've changed the guidance and private lessons aren't ok after all. A week ago they said they were.

My three colleagues and I who are in the office on a Friday have decided will do our own Christmas lunch. We work in different departments but have become friends through choosing to go into the office when everyone else is still at home. We have also decided to have our own Christmas jumper day.

[MissEWeatherwax]

@TheOrchidKiller, thank you.
I can still sing the bloody song. They have made new episodes. I was always secretly rooting for the rat.
Very popular in Australia, but they also love The wiggles. She wanted to see them too, but I put my foot down and refused

The memo about formites didn't make it through the education system did it?

Still struggling on the lack of bags and remembering shit like reading records. It all rests on being instantly grabbable at 8:53 in the morning!

An otherwise sensible friend explained to me that you get Covid by brushing past someone who had it on his clothes and it would get on yours.

She couldn't explain why you might suddenly start inhaling your clothes or rubbing them in your eyes.

[Taswama]

What is the memo about formites? If there's a link from a reputable source about how you aren't going to catch covid from a piece of paper, I'd love to send it to the headteacher!
