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?

Such a stressful week, again! I need the weekend to be with no unexpected issues of any kind, seriously. And wish you all the same 🎶Have fun and relax!

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.

Morning - I hope everyone is well today.
Just getting organised for the term ahead and doing my seating plans. Lots of names to learn. A disproportionate number of girls called Lily, it would seem! It's a nice name, but a memory tester....

ArcaneWireless · 29/08/2023 09:20

I’m away to tackle upstairs. Back to work tomorrow again so if I can get it done then I can pat my own back for a moment.

It is due to rain later so unsure if I should walk unsociable Sheldog in the rain (quieter) or go now so that we remain unsoggy.

Nanbite at a gf this morning.

Situation normal.

jeffgoldblum · 29/08/2023 09:21

Morning @Maireas , I've been sorting uniforms! God secondary schools with official uniforms are expensive!! Luckily her blazers still fit ! But still 😱, I miss both being in primary!!
Lots of lily eh !! Sounds like you have your work cut out! 🤣

@ArcaneWireless , again I'm agog at your industry! , I'm clearly a lazy bugger! 🤣

Maireas · 29/08/2023 09:39

@ArcaneWireless gets going, she is a tour de force! Walk Sheldog now, avoid a damp pooch.
No blazers or ties at our place, it's a sweatshirt uniform. Fine by me.
Should I put Maisie and Daisy together, and Molly and Polly, or by Christmas will I still not remember who's who?

ArcaneWireless · 29/08/2023 09:49

Aye, ‘Appen you’re right Maireas
🌧

And now they’ve deleted that thread, I shall take me and my giphys out of the arena and do something productive.

which is a shame as nan was almost out to play

How is everyone today?
Maireas · 29/08/2023 09:51

We love a good Nan gif, shame I never saw it!

jeffgoldblum · 29/08/2023 10:10

Which thread was deleted @ArcaneWireless ? Have I missed something ( no change there then!)

OP posts:
ArcaneWireless · 29/08/2023 10:45

Message coming your way jeff

I’m quite sure I ensured all guidelines were obeyed. Just.

I’d happily have gone full messy on it though.

AliceOlive · 29/08/2023 18:27

Cat thread is my absolute favorite ever. It's cheering me up immensely.

Maireas · 29/08/2023 18:32

It's brilliant, isn't it Alice! I enjoyed threads 1 and 2 and some of the batshit suggestions - the best being setting off a fire extinguisher through the cat flap! I thought thread 3 would be about the builders, so I got that wrong. Most entertaining 😊

jeffgoldblum · 29/08/2023 18:36

I too am enjoying it enormously! 🤣🐈!

AliceOlive · 29/08/2023 18:56

I am hoping for a romance with the OP and the kind Irish builder, after he sorts out all of the issues.

AliceOlive · 29/08/2023 18:56

I am quite tickled by the ham being a hate crime. We don't know the religion of the cat, though.

Possibly. Could be that the Irish builder is actually the home owner....
The ham is definitely a hate crime. Even M&S ham.
It's a nice distraction from my continuing crusade against ageism and the slagging off of "boomers".

Maireas · 29/08/2023 19:16

Very glad to hear it 😊!

It is an excellent distraction!

Oh and I could totally see myself in that situation. But I would have called every locksmith in the area until I got one willing to open the place. We locked ourselves out of our house the weekend we moved in. They never asked for any proof it was ours.

Maireas · 29/08/2023 20:35

They do make a note, though.

AliceOlive · 29/08/2023 21:15

They do make a note, though.

I live next to Real Estate Agent Extraordinaire and fabulous 89 year old grand dame who can make even my puppy sit down with a look. They were both clients of the locksmith and were here for the unlocking so I am sure that helped.

On a side note, living next to one of the top agents in the area is amazing. Whenever we need a reference for someone to work on our house, he's got a number. And then we say that he told us to call and they appear and are eager to make a good impression.
