Well done on the interview Wreck!
And I'm jealous of your jury summons - I'd love to be called up but hasn't happened yet.

I did my first proper day back in the office today. I'm worn out 😴 Have done a few bits at home but nothing major.
Trying to motivate myself to do some crochet but struggling.

The weather is awful. Is it cold with you MrsMad? I've got the heating on because it feels freezing here 🥶

CrazyBaubles · 14/10/2019 20:39

Oh and we've been invaded by huge spiders the last few days - there's been 5 or 6 and they're bloody fast.
Tonight I picked up my pj bottoms and just felt a bit weird so shook them out and one fell off them 😱

EmrysAtticus · 14/10/2019 20:43

Argh crazy!!!

Just watched the finale of Sanditon and am seriously pissed off Angry

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 20:50

Do you let the spindly spiders live in your house, Crazy? We've not had massive spiders since I let the spindly ones live with us!

Em , l had a feeling l would not be happy with Sanditon so l avoided it , l love Andrew Davies and Jane Austen's work but l just had a feeling it would disappoint Shock.
Crazy l stuck it out here till half 6 then the heating went on for 2 hours. I was cold too but no one else was Hmm

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 21:39

We had the heating on for an hour too. It's definitely autumn!

We have spindly spiders and leave them alone but that hasn't stopped Aragog and his cronies. Thankfully, they mainly appear in the bathtub.

Morning!

I've never even heard of Sandition. Which channel is it (don't feel like I'm missing out much, however!).

I'm on a half day today, then down to London to see Biffy Clyro at the Roundhouse with my best mate. Grin

Wow fluffy I'm so jealous! Have fun!

We haven't turned our heating on yet hoping to making it until the clocks change Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2019 06:34

We're seeing them on Thursday too, Wreck. At the Digbeth Arena in Birmingham. We couldn't resist the lure of tint venues! 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2019 06:35

Tiny. Not tint. Autocorrect is a knob. 🙄

Don't watch it fluffy! Up until the last half hour of the final episode it was some harmless fluff which cheered up a Monday evening for me (it was on on a Sunday but I would watch on catch up). The final half hour was a travesty which I will never forgive Andrew Davies for.

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2019 07:24

I'm not sure I can adhere to that one, flouncy. Busy week (in fairness, we wouldn't have booked London if we'd known we were going to get Brum tickets, but the sales weren't at the same time, but then we didn't want to miss Brum once I'd managed to snare some tickets!). Grin

At least I'm not ill anymore!

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2019 07:25

I rarely watch ITV. I don't even look what's on! 😂

Morning, sorry I've missed a few days. Not been as hard to catch up, thankfully!

I managed an hour and a half on the allotment in pouring rain on Sunday. I need to invest in some decent weed fabric for over the winter! The wet ground made it easier to get the weeds up, though.

Got home to find the tumble drier had packed in, so we had the heating cranked up trying to dry DS's school uniform, and still clothes hung on every door and radiator in the house.

DH and I take it in turns ironing DS's uniform (it's the only thing that gets ironed in our house!) but he irons the creases out of DS's trousers and I iron them back in.

And then brushing my teeth last night, one of my wisdom teeth broke. Roll on Christmas!!
