The other thread is filling up fast so setting up the foundation for our new evil lair. One where we follow real guidelines, not made up ones, make sock cocks ,ruin hair and bemoan the shortage of Spanish soldiers.

This is where we'll keep each other sane or descend into madness together... depends on the day.

There'll be some angry MN'ers right now, that there hasn't been an official announcement about chaining us to our houses over Easter won't there? I'll brace myself

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 09/04/2020 17:36

DP is an actual angel. He cycled home with three Easter eggs, may have to flog himself for buying only none essentials, also lucky the police weren't there at the time checking what was bought 🤪

We have discovered beer and cider in our cupboard enough for tonight at least.

I found waffles in the freezer, guess what we're having with tea?

Well girls after nabbing the last two bottles of Cote de Gascogne Sav Blanc at Waitrose (£6 a pop and very nice to) came home to find a forgotten bottle of pinot grigio and 6 pack of baked beans on the shelf in the garage! Winning at life.
Currently in the garden with a straightening treatment on my hair hoping the neighbours with short fence don't spot me.

More painting done getting fed up with it now. But nearly there.
Its wine o clock here.

Whitechoctwix as long as you are not, you know, whispers the bad word ^breathing^ its ok.😲😲😲

Willow2017 · 09/04/2020 18:03

Winging what a waste! You should have taken the daisies home and made face masks out of them for your pox ridden family. Sighs at the selfishness of people.☹

Pringletastic · 09/04/2020 18:09

It's supposed to be really sunny tomorrow! We were planning on having a BBQ and possibly entertain some afternoon beverages once all the arts and crafts were finished (have ordered DCs to make me a Spanish soldier out of paper mache).

Of course, we will have the BBQ inside with the doors and windows closed and I have already dettolled the coals (ran out of bleach) and chlorinated the chicken (seems the Americans were right all along...)

Twix wow! Pinot grigio and baked beans! Stockpiler!

Willow2017 · 09/04/2020 18:12

Oh we are saved 'they' are saying stay at home at Easter on the news.😉
Judging by one of the threads on here its probably a good idea. Where do people get thier 'facts' from? Saw on news 2 guys getting stopped and turned around 80 miles from home to go on their Easter jolly!
Despite all the frothers there are still idiots out and about for daft reasons.

That poor nurse having her tyres slashed because someone decided she was on holiday! Just fuck of you imbeciles. Tbh thier logic is fab...lets slash thier tyres so they have to stay here😂😂🤣🤣
I knew there was a reason i wasnt watching the news now.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 09/04/2020 18:13

I have finished work, until tuesday! Whoo hoo!

I kept forgetting I wasnt working tomorrow. I am having 4 days of doing nothing
Who am I kidding? I will get bored and do something. But at my own pace.

Tonight I am going to get drunk! Dp is going to the shop for bread.....so he can buy booze. We did try and go to aldi, but there was 50 people in the queue....could not be arsed.

Dogs had 2 walks today. Me and dh went separately. Doggos couldnt have given less of a fuck, that they exercised twice today. Rule breakers that they are!

I hope everyone is having a lovely day!

isabellerossignol · 09/04/2020 18:19

I'm still working tomorrow, as it's not a holiday here, we get Monday and Tuesday as the holidays here. Although I used to work in a bank, so we did have Friday and Monday and I hated it because everyone else was off on the Tuesday whilst I had to go back to work.

@Willow2017 breathing drinking wine and eating cheese Doritos! Shock obvs got steps in earlier.

@Pringletastic have wiped said pino and beans with soapy warm water as quite dusty. DH says I've turned into my mother.

WhiteChocTwix · 09/04/2020 18:34

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking I'm sorry to hear about your lay off. I hope you get to enjoy a bit of positive downtime.

soupforbrains · 09/04/2020 18:35

Fuck it all. I’ve had a horrendous day of work dealing with my unbelievable fuckwits of colleagues.

I’m about to pop the to shop. I don’t care what anyone says cigs and gin are absolutely bloody essential for my mental wellbeing right now.

My day has been marginally brightened by the arrival of my illegal non-essential amazon order of my cross stitch materials and book of subversive cross stitch patterns. And an illegal visit from my nieces who waved from the end of my path, shouted something about LOL surprises and then threw (painted) rocks down the path to me as I assumed a gift rather than an attempt at a public stoning...

Willow2017 · 09/04/2020 18:37

Enjoy your hols Shits going anywhere nice? 🤔

I am working Frid, Sat and Sun oh joy. Bet the shop is packed with people who cant figure out 2 meters.

Willow2017 · 09/04/2020 18:38

LOL surprises and then threw (painted) rocks down the path to me as I assumed a gift rather than an attempt at a public stoning...
That made me LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Willow2017 · 09/04/2020 18:41

I feel i need to order non essential stuff otherwise i am letting the side down. Although i did order a 'new' phone for ds2s birthday last month. He needs a phone cover now so thats a start. Its my birthday soon so might treat myself😉 Hotel Choc here i come🤣

Maxandezra · 09/04/2020 18:41

oh god...the thought of tonight's clap is actully upsetting me. I hate it. It just serves to remind me of how crap everything is right now. I am a clinical NHS worker. Work is shit right now. I know that. I face it every day. I dont bloody need reminding of it every Thursday at 8pm when Im trying to relax. I just need leaving alone to do my job and to not feel bloody judged if I stop at shop on my way home to buy wine.....

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 09/04/2020 18:49

Shits make sure you check the flight schedule.

Max
Get that wine in and enjoy it. I and thousands of others really appreciate you all.

Although i havent clapped yet (because i have fallen aslerp each pm from work) i think many people (not the virtue signalers) just want to show thier appreciation even though it really doesnt help you all. It seems to be competitive now which defeats the whole idea.
I was a nurse in a previous life it was pretty hard at times then it must be horrific now in some places.

Stay safe.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 09/04/2020 18:53

Oh Max that must suck. Just hang out with us,we only fart,boink , even a little twerk , make questionable crafts but that's for our own amusement.

@soupforbrains your nieces sound like legends! My niece and nephew would be all too keen on that idea! Go and buy that gin asap! Ffs it's a 4 day weekend of course essential.

@Willow2017 thank you for working over the weekend. I for one dart around key workers in shops giving them all the space I can. And always have a chat and say a big thank you when paying (at a socially distanced distance).

Sinned again today, dropped Twix senior Easter Egg in. He's in a care home, big signs saying lockdown no entry. Had to leave it at the door. His room faces the car park so we waved and chatted on the phone for a bit. He's getting v.good with What's App video calling. We all deserve a bit of choc while watching endless Netflix this weekend!
