Christmas countdown 2020: Lockdown edition (thread 4)

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go, new thread.

We've been very chatty this month! 😁

Afternoon everyone
Fire l am keeping everything crossed for you my dear. l so hope this is just a case of the uterus stretching, it tends to round about 10 weeks or so as you probably already know , well done for keeping going and putting those big gel pants on
Crazy Joey is fantatstic l love him he is gorgeous!
You are so clever !
PJ well done on putting the clothes away l hate doing that
Fluffy Your plants look absolutely brilliant so healthy & strong Have not done much , been to Mum & Bob's ,made a lovely lamb stew & DUMPLINGS which is in the slo cooker as l write
Dh cooked them a smashing fry up for Lunch slurp sorted the house out for them, Mum makes such a mess and Bob moves Mum's stuff all over the place it's awfully time consuming and downright bloody frustrating
Mum was very cruel to Bob , they had a row and she told him that he would be on his own if she went home because none of his family bother with him. She told my DD1 not to say anything to me . I wanted to give her what for but they are fine today . I have news for her, there is no way we would drop Bob now even if they split, he's too nice a person and we have grown fond of him. So yah boo sucks Mum!
Wreck ahh the dreaded hormones , God they have a lot to answer for, hope your DD is feeling happier now love
Woolly your DD birthday sounded wonderful so glad she had a lovely day and loved her pressies
Why amazing stuff re the Tech Guru , need you now ,my mob phone screen is smashed and l need to put all my stuff onto the new phone which l have had since Dec and l have been putting it off, can't remember my paswords for the life of me
Boot guess what has just gone in my trolley for Tesco next week
70 THAT'S A HERRING ?????
Will avoid Polski shops like the plague and frequent Tesco online for my Polski goodies

Will join you Nero Dh just getting over a bit of an Afib attack , he's fine now thankfully
You sound a lot better today , are they just any old crisps or are they
M& S crisps

Neros glad you're feeling better today. Enjoy the in the sun.
Firefly I've everything crossed for you

Mrs I'm afraid they're just tesco own brand crisps. I've lost a lot of unintentional weight this year so I'm eating what I like now .

Boots I'm afraid to say that I'm feeling better because I seem to go straight back downhill then.

Fire, I had a lot of stretching pain too. Hopefully that's all it is.

Have got an earworm of the Good Life opening music going on now Boot cho in trolley as we speak
and yes l agree, leave Mum to it . She can sort it out herself!

Nero you enjoy them m'dear, look after yourself
Stew smells lovely , l won't have any because l don't like the meat , it's cuts of lamb or beef with fat on urgghhhh . I know it's the fat that gives the flavour and l alwys brown it off first but l can't face the thought of it. Dh doesn''t mind all the more for him he says

If you have an android phone Mrs, Google might have remembered all your passwords except banking.

Oh thank you Why l am going to see if can find them
It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack

My shifts are getting weirder and weirder. A caller suggested that I am the reason there are issues in the NHS!!! They also suggested I had a hotline to Boris which is kind of odd.

I also have extremely sore hands from all the washing and anti baccing (Yes that is a word) and I have to get some kind of skin lotion from Occupational Health tomorrow before my hands shred to bits (totally attractive I know).

Mrs, I hope you sorted your phone.

why your poor hands! maybe when you speak to Boris, he can get you some special magic gloves that save your hands.
I have a pump dispenser of body lotion next to the soap. Can you get some cotton gloves or old clean socks and shove tons of moisturiser on before bed?

Morning! Sunny and cold again! We've had the heating on for 45 minutes the last two days as our Victorian house does get chilly. Thankfully the south-facing lounge maintains a bearable temp (19°) during the day thanks to the sun!

The greenhouse is a revelation as it stays relatively pleasant even overnight. 😁

Why, I pity your hands. I have eczema anyway, so the increase before I finished work led to agony. My right thumb is still unthreading my needle sore now. I echo Boots' gloves / loads of hand cream overnight idea.

Nero, wine and crisps? Yum! 😋

We had an alcohol-free day yesterday for the first time in ages. I think we will today too. I've no intention of exiting lockdown as a functioning alcoholic! 😱😂 I've got alcohol free beer - Bavaria; it's really nice! - on tomorrow's C&C from Tesco for those 'sunny afternoons in the garden' beer-drinking moment.

Firefly, how are you today?

Crazy, re washing everything that's not moving. Yes. With bells on! 😂 I'm doing everything!

Morning!

Ds was in my bed this morning and slept until ten minutes ago. He'd been up in the night with leg pains according to DH.

Sunny and cold here too. I need to do washing, housework and go on a walk today.

Morning all, also sunny and cold here today. Need to thin out my radishes and my carrots have just started appearing :)

Should be finding out at midnight which school DS has got into. Nervous!

Also sunny here, but I don't know if it's cold as I haven't been outside yet.

I'm okay, thanks for asking. Was cramping again yesterday, but went away overnight. I'm hoping it's just from not doing enough exercise - I haven't managed more than 6500 steps a day for the last 4 weeks. My Fitbit counted 40 minutes exercise yesterday, which was a very slow meander with DS. Think it was making the most of what it could 😁

Is that primary, most? Maybe you could borrow why's magic phone and ask BJ?

Is he having growing pains, Wreck?

why Wreck (I think) recommended Aveeno when my hands were bad before I started wfh, which really helped. I ordered it from Amazon.

Ah yes primary school places! Good luck

Firefly not sure. Usually he gets growing pains when he's had a busy day but he didn't do anything yesterday.

Yes primary school places :)

Good luck, Most. It feels like forever ago that we had to do that!

Wreck, maybe it's cramping-type pains due to not doing as much?

It's actually not too cold outside now (in the scheme of things!) and really lovely in the greenhouse (I went to take the fleece off).

Firefly, I imagine the cramps are to do with your expanding uterus rather than exercise levels. My poor Fitbit is grabbing at every opportunity to tell me I've done something (and I'm logging even small amounts of housework 😂).

Thanks all :)

Radishes now thinned :) Really not a fan of thinning. I know why it needs to be done but hate pulling up healthy seedlings.

Morning, I used to suffer really badly with dermatitis on the palms of my hands, absolute agony.

Today I'm hunting round online for DDs birthday present, she wants some decent headphones.

Thanks Boots I will put a word in with the blonde haired guy later with my special phone! 😂

Firefly I will have a look at that thank you.

Any other requests from my tete a tete with Bojo later? 😂

why yep, can he guarantee that we have rain overnight for about an hour or so every night save a few quid on the water meter ?
and he should deliver free crisps, chocolate and wine/beer to every household once a week too

Rain would be extremely useful! As boots says just an hour or so at night.

I will put that to him boots and most. I think both ideas are very important!

Can you ask him to tell my neighbours that it's fucking selfish to be lighting their indoor fire and completely unnecessary if my washing smells after today I'm not going to be impressed

Wreck what you need is a v long ladder and a v v long hose pipe
