The dog has just come to bed. He is, however, wondering if someone in the house might be eating and should he check just in case...

PersisFord · 17/11/2020 22:39

Ooooh I’m on the new thread!

Good news about your mum @MissConductUS

I am nearly asleep.....

HiyaMeAgain · 17/11/2020 22:43

Today, I cleaned all my internal doors with Zaflora,

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 17/11/2020 22:43

Oh good, I am going to bed now.

whatsoccuringnow · 17/11/2020 22:48

I can't sleep.
I love these threads.
I'm going to wear new shoes to break them in at home tomorrow. If they don't hurt I will wear them to work on Thursday.

TenCornMaidens · 17/11/2020 22:53

Good luck with your shoes.

I am going to read for a bit and then go to sleep. My husband is already asleep beside me. The wind is rushing round the house like I forgot to feed it.

I went to the dentist for check up today and joy of joys no treatment needed!

165EatonPlace · 17/11/2020 22:58

Having my first warm drink since breakfast. Had a tooth extraction this morning ( 2 abesses since start of the first lockdown. I have a new Dentist. She was brilliant.

Love this threadSmile

Today I had my coil removed and went to the dentist - both of which I was terrified of

Currently watching 90 day fiancé in bed

MsCrapola · 17/11/2020 22:59

so many at the dentist!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 17/11/2020 23:11

Yesterday DDog snaffled some camembert style cheese that DD left on the kitchen table. We knew there would be consequences and this afternoon I had to leave the study because of how noxious his cheese fart was. DDog also left the room, I'm not sure whether it was just to be close to me or whether he was also feeling nauseated by the fart. DH was on a conference call and couldn't leave the room.

mathanxiety · 17/11/2020 23:44

I closed out the old thread!

Fingers crossed for your mum, @MissConductUS. If she's on Day 11 and not extremely ill she may have dodged a bullet.

EggyPegg · 17/11/2020 23:47

Checking in.

I need to book a dentist appointment. I'm scheduled to have an extraction at some point. That tooth is now feeling very tender when I brush my teeth, so I fear it is infected again.

halfpasteleven · 18/11/2020 01:07

Here to drift back to sleep again after DDs bottle ....

halfpasteleven · 18/11/2020 04:16

And back again after another bottle...

SilkieRabbits · 18/11/2020 05:07

I just woke up and DH's alarm has just gone off but he's gone back to sleep. No idea why he set it for 5am.

Another day of DS isolating at home due to covid case at school, he was not a happy bunny yesterday as school had sent work home and was also really sleepy but said he was well. He was giggling in the evening at least. DD has another day at school.

Our old house past the gas checks. Solicitor still hasn't started work so we need to chase again today, about a month in now, think they are overwhelmed atm and need more admin staff.

HelenaJustina · 18/11/2020 06:27

Hoping to get a few things ticked off at work today, rather than only adding things to do. In boring news, I’ve mostly written the list for the big food shop.

Spudlet · 18/11/2020 07:49

Hello everyone [waves]

We’re going to bake cookies this morning. This will hopefully be good for FS’s fine motor skills, and definitely good for our morning coffee break.

TenCornMaidens · 18/11/2020 08:00

Might water the plants later.

Putting on clothes that are tangentially festive as I will be doing some Christmas wrapping. Burgundy jeggings, dark green top.

soddingkitten · 18/11/2020 08:18

I’d planned on a walk before starting work but it is raining heavily (again!). Even Sodding’s sitting this shower out. I had to clear him a space on the kitchen windowsill so he can keep watch over his garden from indoors. It is just the two of us home today, so I have moved his second radiator hammock into my study.

My new iPhone was delivered yesterday evening. I am weighing up installing everything today so I can play with it later or waiting for my tech support team to get home from work/school.

afaloren · 18/11/2020 08:22

Love these threads.

I have decided to buy a handheld steamer so need to research which one to get.

OrangeIsTheNewTwat · 18/11/2020 08:31

DD had her first curry ( butter chicken), and enjoyed it. She's 8 & a bit fussy so this was actually quite exciting for us.

TenCornMaidens · 18/11/2020 08:34

Can't decide whether to introduce a festive hair clip. Won't even be seeing anyone today.

sueelleker · 18/11/2020 08:45

The wind is rushing round the house like I forgot to feed it. What a lovely phrase!
@Hiyameagain; which fragrance?

whatsoccuringnow · 18/11/2020 09:09

I've decided to work from the couch instead of my desk until I have to do a video call.
