Hello, feeling really tired and fed up today, can't seem to motivate myself to do the things I should be doing, anyone else feel down today?

The more I watch videos about putting on screen protectors the more panicked I got about it. This one dude reviewed like 15 different sorts putting them each on his phone in turn ... and he struggled with lots. He's very experienced and he can't easily do it. Sod that. I get sweaty just thinking about it. Best tenner I'll ever spend, possibly.

My other task today was double checking when my next dentist appt is. So I can get closer to starting the treatment I planned in February, before my dentist and all others at the practice left. Am so looking forward ... and not looking forward to that.

It is a worthy £10 for me too. I’m a clumsy lump and the phone tends to spend more time on the floor than in my hands.

If it wasn’t for screen protector things, my phone screen would resemble a Whitefriars bark vase.

Go @peanutbutterkid , I too cannot put phone film covery thing on either ( I gave up and decided not to bother!)
Teenagers are a pain ! , my dd is just pre teen ! And she's already perfected the Kevin and Perry " it's not fair!"
Honestly my kid's treat me like a maid! , I should just go with it and put on a frilly pinny and style it out! 🤣

I would love to have dinner (or have a dinner party) with Richard O’Brien. I think he would be fascinating.

He’d probably think I was thick as mince and a terrible dinner party guest though.

AliceOlive · 22/08/2023 15:58

@peanutbutterkid You did the right thing. I have a small bump in my screen protector and it drives me mad.

Anyone else seeing an “edited” button on some posts? Could be an exciting new development!

Edited to add: I have just edited my own post! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🎉🎉🎉

ArcaneWireless · 23/08/2023 16:42

I know - it is great isn’t it?

BerI still miss things I could/should have edited though 🤪

AliceOlive · 23/08/2023 17:12

Me too! But I love it!

ArcaneWireless · 23/08/2023 17:55

See? Berl instead of Bet I 🤣

I am genuinely useless 😂

But aye - heaps of us will love that feature. 😊

AliceOlive · 23/08/2023 21:51

Berl writes many of my posts, too and he can’t type. 🤣

AliceOlive · 23/08/2023 21:52

Speaking of typos- I saw “don’t go in huns blazing” today. I thought that was so much more descriptive than guns blazing!

Maireas · 25/08/2023 10:01

Brilliant, @AliceOlive !

Maireas · 25/08/2023 10:03

Well, I'm impressed by the industry, @jeffgoldblum and @ArcaneWireless ! Clean homes, neat gardens and folks well fed 😊

Don’t be ower impressed.

Take note that a tspn is not a tbspn and that hot chilli powder is significantly hotter than the mild version.

Ah, very true, my friend.
I went with my sister to Castle Howard the other day. All I'm saying is, 1hr looking round the House, 2hrs in the Gift Shop. Bloomin love these gift shops. I have a lot of tat. 😉

ArcaneWireless · 25/08/2023 10:20

oh how lovely! I hope you’d a grand day out.

Kindred spirit here re gift shops 🫣

Maireas · 25/08/2023 10:31

It was grand, @ArcaneWireless - also: coffee and scones 😊
