82 morning 🥱

I went to the cinema and out for dinner last night. Didn’t get back until 10:30 and then couldn’t sleep until about 11:45. Up at 5:30 for uni. So tired. Also ate so much garlic last night, good job I’m not going to the gym as I’d be sweating it out 😅

Morning all, I am with you on the tired wreck. Was at a WI darts competition until past 10 them couldn’t sleep and then DH was up at 5:30 to get the train and woke me up. My team won the competition though so we came away with medals.

Morning. I've just booked a GP appointment as I had yet another migraine yesterday and the sheer amount of them over the last few months is worrying me.

biddy I love having a little 'if I won the lottery' daydream. My house wouldn't contain an office but I would have a lovely kitted out craft room and a tiny 'migraine room' which has perfect air con, comfy bed, sound proofing and no windows...
Would likely be on some sort of small holding too so I could go outside and sit with some goats / horses / donkeys / chickens / dogs 😊

xo I don't do Halloween. We never really did much when I was small and as I don't have dc we sort of ignore it tbh.

Neros when is the party? Sounds like you're stocking up well!

What did you watch Wreck? I haven't been to the cinema in ages.

Congrats on the win Dreaming!
What is your WI like? I'm intrigued but not brave enough to join here.

DreamingofItaly2023 · 04/10/2022 08:49

Hope you feel better soon crazy! WI here is lovely, mix of all ages and quite a lot going on beyond cakes and jam :)

Hello!

I'm just wandering to my surgery for my flu jab, which I now get free due to being an official carer for DS.

I too love a good lottery win dream. No office here. I'm winning enough not to work! Though maybe having one for life admin (DS has loads!) might be good. I'd want a big enough garden to not need an allotment, a play room and a crafting room. That's all I want!

I saw don’t worry darling. It was…crazy. Pretty good.

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 04/10/2022 15:44

I have my taste and smell back again but the lurgy has kindly settled on my chest. (Thank you so much Woolly for going to the chemist for me 😘).

I am signed off till the end of next week now as well.

TheWoollybacksWife · 04/10/2022 17:30

Lovely to see you why. Hope you start to feel better soon.

WreckTangled · 04/10/2022 17:49

Pleased you’re on the mend why.

I’ve felt rubbish with my cold, thought I might have to go home from uni as my ears are making we feel dizzy and sick. Colds definitely get worse as you get older.

NoWordForFluffy · 04/10/2022 21:31

Evening!

I've been to aqua tonight and it half-killed me. I feel good for it, but it was tough going at the time!

Well done Woolly on collecting Why's prescription. I saw the Facebook post, but I'm no use from here!

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 04/10/2022 22:30

Would be a long way to come to sort a prescription for me Fluffy but if that is the level of dedication you would wish to shower your older sister with, then who am I to say no?! 🤣

FireflyGirl · 05/10/2022 07:22

Morning. Looks like another blustery day here.

We now have an office/study, which I love and am in the process of filling with work stuff, and then plan to move my crafting stuff in 😁

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 05/10/2022 07:52

Sounds exciting Firefly. We have a sun shed we didn't have time to try this year. Maybe next year 😄

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 05/10/2022 07:53

81 Better do the countdown although it is a bit too much pressure for me having the responsibility really.

WreckTangled · 05/10/2022 07:58

All full of colds here still. Ds in tears as he doesn’t want to go to school. Bleurgh.

NoWordForFluffy · 05/10/2022 09:14

Morning!

It's chucking it down and we have a yellow wind warning. Autumn strikes!

Well done on the countdown, Why! Xmas Grin

I'd really like an office, Firefly. I work in the bedroom right now. Not ideal, but needs must!

Poland sounded great fluffy! I would love to do a Christmas market in Krakow but would ideally like a long weekend.
Crazy festive shortbread sounds amazing- could you share your recipe please.
Pleased you're all recovering!

WreckTangled · 06/10/2022 05:49

80 awake since 4am… I think we’ve come top for a house, have to wait for a phone call now. So I’m even more stressed, ds will have to move schools and that makes me feel sick, even though I’m not particularly happy with his I just don’t know how he will cope. And I’ve got to find one. Plus I have two massive assignments this semester.

NoWordForFluffy · 06/10/2022 06:29

Oh bloody hell, Wreck. It's so hard trying to do the right thing, isn't it?

Constantly, it was great, albeit short lived! Krakow is beautiful too; I bet a Christmas market would be lovely there. Fun fact: our teapot is from Krakow!

It's been really windy overnight. The washing should be dry! 🤣🤣

OP posts:
FireflyGirl · 06/10/2022 12:15

Deep breaths Wreck. Sounds exciting, though. When will you know for sure?

Fluffy I typed a lovely long reply but the page crashed 🙄. So just pretend I replied to you and it was very intelligent and funny 🤷 How are you getting on with the air fryer?

I've also somehow volunteered to be Group secretary for DS's Scout Troop, so might be pestering Biddy for ideas!

NoWordForFluffy · 06/10/2022 18:32

How will you find time, Firefly?! You're a better woman than me, that's for sure!

The little oven is very good. I love how you don't have to wait for it to warm up, just turn it on and it's at temp in less than a minute!

I hope you hear soon about the house, Wreck. How quickly would they expect you to move?

Not exactly Christmas.
But SWAN have a flash sale til midnight. 25% off everything with FLASH25

I just bought a hyper clean for £145 instead of £190 :)

2under2howscary · 06/10/2022 18:39

Sorry wrong thread !

WreckTangled · 06/10/2022 18:42

I don’t know fluffy. I’m guessing it might not be that long, a few weeks?

FireflyGirl · 06/10/2022 19:38

One thing at a time, Wreck

Can you afford one of those removals companies that pack for you as well? I have said if we ever need to move again we are definitely using one!
