Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 9): Vibrating beds and tiny choppers!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go. We're still a chatty bunch. We're going to knock any previous thread count into a cocked hat!

Go, go, go...

Boots sounds 🤢

Biddy I don't know how you're coping with your boss - waiting weeks for a 'plan' would drink me mad.

I love the Christmas episodes of Gavin & Stacey. Never really watched The Royal Family though - and glad about that now 🤢

Meeting is done and my head is pounding. Only 2 and half hours to go before I'm done for the day...

I'm tired. DH has cleaned the lounge carpet (oh god, it was GRIM!) and I freshened the emulsion / cleaned the windows and woodwork. It looks amazing in here now! I should leave the kids at school so it stays like it! 😂😂

Lots of productive people today :)

I haven't been to WHAT mrs but it sounds good :)

We have a blue shed.

Crazy few days at work, have been told we have an 85% chance of a partial closure within one month!

We have M&S Dine In for 2 tonight, looking forward to a glass of wine!

Partial closure most?

I think DH is 99% certain most of the school is going to end up having to isolate before half term.

You've been very productive Fluffy!

I'm so glad work is done today. DH is on a meeting and I'm relaxing with Ashes to Ashes and cross stitch...

Blended learning I assume crazy so one year in a day and home learning the rest I guess.

OMG we are a talkative bunch here lol , IT'S NEARLY TIME FOR THREAD 10 YES YOU HEARD IT TROLLY PANTS THREAD 10 only this is the genuine, original, not to be usurped or immitated thread 10 by the faaaamily !
Have been trying to look after myself a bit more the last few days, so after doing Mum Bob today we went to Brecon Mountain centre again to unwind, then off to Aldi's to have a good mooch around , l love a mooch in Aldi such hidden gems lol !
I am putting balt salts in my bath every day and l bought myself some Cammomile & Green tea/lemon T bags from Aldi to try to refresh myself and stop drinking as much caffeine , they don't taste very nice but l am going to persevere because they are very refreshing in my mouth not cloying like coffee good luck with that Mrs
Most What is not everyone's cuppa tea but they have so much stuff there it's not true , things l have not seen for years! lovely tea enjoy it
Fluffy excellent work! When are you going to new job it can't be much longer surely?
Crazy l know of a lovely house, just come on the market , l don't know if you would be interested , needs a little bit of updating but it's very nice there very quiet and the NDN is absolutely a darling . It was my friends Sil who died in RGH a few months back, it's on Purple Bricks , l will send you the link. It's of no odds to me lovely , just a smashing house
Have finished booking the flu jag for Mum and Bob , now have to sort out the phone contracts with Tesco

I finish on Oct 2nd (3 month notice period), Mrs. They're struggling to recruit my replacement, but that isn't my problem!

Most, are cases rising where you are, hence partial closure being mooted?

Crazy, I'm glad you're relaxing now. I'm going to try to post your chilli jam tomorrow!

Most have you signed up to Covid Messenger? I get emails at 8am each day with the most recent figures for our LA and neighbouring one.

Evening everyone.
Hectic day at work today, they're trying to sd everything at school (transport, lunches, pick ups) and it's just not working. There is congestion everywhere you look. A massive lorry was reversing in the car park this morning when the kids were getting off the buses. Total mayhem.After bringing all the kids to the buses we were late leaving, head banging like a bass drum, and it took me almost 20 mins to get out of the car park! Think I'm going to park on the road tomorrow.

That's such a funny episode Boots love the Royle family.

I would hate that Biddy I like to know what's happening.

I agree with your DH Crazy we were supposed to only be picking up the kids from our corrior, and it was so congested that they said to pick up any child, talking about popping bubbles!

Mrs I love a mooch too hope you ha a good day at Brecon.

No they aren't rising as far as I am aware. According to the Council I believe it is just the average figure for a secondary school here. It doesn't surprise me to be honest as today was the first day properly back and we had two staff self isolating.

Mrs does your DH watch football?
S4C tonight 7.25pm.
"Live coverage of the UEFA Nations League curtain-raiser against Finland. While we'll have to wait another year to see Ryan Giggs and his squad at the Euros, Wales return to competitive action tonight in the 2020 UEFA Nations League. "

Creeps back in after months away, I can't remember my password so I've had to create this one, it's meeee PJ, Fluffy's cousin!! Hope you are all ok xx

I was wondering where you'd been, Cauli (other than on my WhatsApp)!

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Guess which vegetable I forgot to buy when shopping this morning?

Cauliflower?

MrsMad I've had a look at that house. It is lovely but not the right area for us (I have messaged you).

On your final countdown now Fluffy! October 2nd will be here soon. Do you have a break between this job and the new one? Is the new one better pay / perks / hours than current one (apart from the fact you'll be WFH)?
Looking forward to the chilli jam

Welcome back cauli

I've been so good - DH has had a stressful day - first day with the kids back then a meeting which over ran so he didn't get home until gone 7 - so I cleaned the kitchen, walked the dog, fed him, showered and cooked tea.

I am so so close to finishing the Coo (I know, it's taken me ages) I'm working on that for the rest of the evening 😊

Ohhh a new Job fluffy?

Hi Caulie (cuz) wondered where you had vanished to and weirdly was just thinking it again a few minutes ago and you bloomin appeared.

Like magic aye?

I had cauliflower cheese with my dinner and cauliflower soup for lunch. I love it!

Wow Fluffy that has gone very quickly ! Great stuff l bet you cannot wait!
Boot he loves the Wales footie l don't know how he has missed this but never mind he will watch the highlights when they are on, thank you for the heads up
MM thank you l had a good day really your day doesn't sound very good , hope you have been able to unwind
Ahhh Crazy that's a shame, never mind it was worth a punt
Cauli l nearly messaged you the other day but l thought you'd think l was stalking you great to see you back here sweetheart, how are things with you all ? We have missed you here & we have been inundated with trolls!!!!

@WreckTangled

I had cauliflower cheese with my dinner and cauliflower soup for lunch. I love it!

God so do l Wreck , roasted cauli is my favourite love it! Meant to get some today but will get some tomorrrow

I wouldn't think you were stalking Mrs!! All good here, back to school for the kids today too, so I'm back working at the school, I can now do 1st aid as I took that course yesterday Had my 1st 2 at lunch time

So I'm now back to working 7 days

Not too bad Mrs the kids were good, it's just no organisation whatsoever in the school Had a nice relaxing bath though which melted all my troubles for today anyway
