Cats , Flaps and The Clap

[PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock]

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.

I've made peanut butter cookies. Used flour and aggs and brown sugar! I would join you all in a drink but I'm lying in the sun iny garden in my hammock and can't be arsed to move. I'm having quite a nice time. 😂

I'm boiling and dyeing eggs later (tradition from back home). I'll prolly make about 10. Pretty waste

OMG I didn't realise how much I needed this thread and I'm only a page in. Can I join your ranks? 🙏🏻

Of course, Wow, but what are your sins?

Willow - it may be just a case of unscrewing the two glass parts of the door. It's scary at first but it can be quite simple. I mean, if I can do it....

As for the project - I've got a rough idea on what it's about but due to the practical aspect being cancelled halfway through, I have no results, and therefore no discussion or conclusion, and yet I'm still expected to write about it. It's virtually impossible.

Has anyone read the roast dinner thread - or the thread about the use of be safe at the end of messages?

Some very weird posts on there.

Its fairly easy to get the 2 layers of glass out but they are a bugger to clesn😂

oh. Sorry, misunderstood

Ok have RTFT and I am ready to confess my sins:

1. I managed to get a last minute Tesco shop delivered last night which consisted of (amongst other things) Easter Eggs, Wine, Lamb and Camembert, Cream, Custard + Chia Seeds and shaving foam for messy play with my 15 month old.

2. Last night DH and I sat outside ALL EVENING in our garden with the fire pit burning drinking Prosecco and eating Fish and Chips which we got delivered.

3). The day before DH went to the little shop at the end of our road and bought ice creams because it was hot and we wanted ice creams.

4. Today myself, DH and my 15 month old went on a walk to my parents to deliver said Easter eggs to my parents. We stood / sat at the end of their 3/4 meter front garden and they stood / sat at the front of their house and we talked for about 20 minutes. They threw us an ice lolly each and we consumed them.

That's just in the last 24 hours.

Oh god, I've just chatted to my neighbour through the fence while we're both sat in our gardens. I've killed us all haven't I? 😂

wow welcome. That's an impressive start. Several thousand dead through your actions right there I reckon😂

I'm sorry but there is more.

1. Not last weekend but the weekend before we borrowed a gardening implement from my parents so we could do some work in the garden.

2. My FIL dropped round some eggs last week on his bike ride because we hadn't been able to get hold of eggs. Neither DH or I are classed as vulnerable. Although he did not enter the house he did cross my property line and I did not disinfect the eggs.

3. Once they knew we were going into lockdown my parents kindly ordered my child a swing for the garden. They got it delivered to their house and I picked it up.

4. My nanny baked my 15 month old some treats and I went to hers and picked them up. My justification was that she is elderly and it made her day to be able to do that but now I realise that just leaving my house, driving to hers and collecting this item and bringing it straight home I have put countless people at risk.

Gosh that felt good.

I do actually feel the need to explain that last one was a 'cold drop'. She left them in tin foil at the end of her drive 😂

Look who has just joined me in my hammock! (which was by the way a non essential amazon purchase last week!)

wow no explanations needed here! We trust your own judgement as an adult! 😉

What was the unnecessary purchase? The cat or the hammock?

My mum drove to our nearest supermarket to get her shopping and took a slight diversion on the way home to leave Easter eggs for our 2 DC on our doorstep. (I didn’t know she was going to do this btw.) Forgive us for we have sinned

Someone on another thread has said she has to go shopping with her partner because she walks and can’t manage a full weeks shop by herself (perfectly understandable) but was told that she is “endangering others”

giga the hammock was the unnecessary purchase. The cat we have had for year 😂😻 although could be tempted to adopt another unecessary murderous cat.....

This is one of mine. She's just unnecessary, full stop.

I'm practically giddy with joy. We've just had the man from Dyno Road around. We've been referring to him as Diana Rod all day whilst awaiting his arrival. It was definitely an essential call out as temporary live-in boyfriend had complained that when he went down every morning, my drains smelled bad. So, we called in Diana Rod. And, can I just say...£200 very well spent. Not only do I now have immaculate drains so temporary live-in BF won't complain when he goes down in the morning...(Sorry, labouring the point somewhat).
Not only etc.....
I had the most beautiful dose of eye candy I've had for the last 3 weeks. Think 6ft 3 inches of diet coke man slash the bloke from the Calvin Klein ad in the laundromat back in the 80s. Suffice to say, I may have crept a tad closer than the 2 metres. He even obliged with a good measure of Calvin Klein shorts when he bent over to tend to my drains.
I was practically swooning. I'm now celebrating my pristine drains with pink Freixenet (the one in the knobbly bottle) and some black olives and feta from my new found favourite grocery store. I feel that this purchase was definitely essential given the stress of smelly drains. I did spray the shopping basket handles and the booty when I got home with my 70 percent alchohol spray purchased in pre-lockdown days.
I'll go back to lurking now. I have probably said too much. But, I do love this thread. Thank you my sistahs!

Aww lovely kitties.

I guess this lovely weather means I'll have to defuzz eventually. Shame,was going for a dreads look.

when he went down every morning, my drains smelled bad
BF won't complain when he goes down in the morning

I need to get my mind out of the gutter.
