[PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock]

7 friends laughing
6 flaps bleached
5 covid masks
4 cool kids smoking
3 deadly hangovers
2 claps a' missin

And a partridge in a pear tree. Socially distancing of course.

Thread number something? Forgot to keep count.

That's why I have you murderous, despicable , flappy villains.

Princess
But they have changed the word!!!! Its all so confusing 😭😭😭

I think it's rage and disbelief that for 8 weeks them and their kids have been stuck inside,miserable for no reason.

They expected the gvnmt to pat them on the head,say well done and give them justification for torturing themselves and their kids and to keep doing it.

Boris's tweet has made me more hopeful about how this is going. But we shall see (and for me there's the issue of whether Wales will follow England - though if furlough stops we might have to as there's no way we could fund that).

@Crow, it sounds like you've done all you can to help facilitate contact. There's surely a point where it's on him to sort it out, and up to your DD to decide if she wants to reply.

Willow “ Get a dictionary and use the thing between your ears!”

I don’t need a dictionary. I need to know if and when the police powers granted under the coronavirus act change.

There’s talk of higher fines for “breaking rules”. I don’t have an endless supply of money to take the risk.

When we went to town yesterday I was talking to DD about virus transmission and lockdown and such and she was cracking up at my impression of frothers peeping out if their curtains to see if the virus was just ghosting around waiting to jump on them, and then asking her what a sensible approach is. Even a 9yo can grasp that the virus isn't waiting to hijack you as you walk down your path. That it transfers through coughs and sneezes and on door handles and things, so we sneeze or cough into our elbow and wash our hands a lot. If a 9yo can get it, why can't the fucking adult population of frothers get it???

I'm actually super chuffed we couldn't get online deliveries etc because it's meant DD has realised the world isn't suddenly scary it's just as it always was, you just have to be a bit more cautious of other people now. Having said that I always carried hand sanitizer anyway because I worked with kids for years and it's kind of ingrained!! If loads of people have mauled something (a mcds touch screen or iPad for example) it's probs best to wash your hands or use sanitizer after using it and before eating!

Common sense, n'est pas??

. I don’t have an endless supply of money to take the risk.

Do one of the trips you want to do and think might be beneficial to your well being.

If you get a fine, I promise I'll pay it for you and I'm not even joking.

Fuck it you deserve some nice things in your life.

DD was so proud of herself for being a postman and delivering packages with me. We used hand sanitiser(I always have a stash and had for years), washed hands and said hello waved to people from a distance. Checked how busy shops were then went to get ice cream as a reward, had a browse then went to another shop to get sweeties.

It was tiring but fun, and fairly normal.

Lilac i meant look up the word alert as in be aware of your surroundings, keep social distancing etc. The rest of the stuff under it in his tweet is exactly the same. We will find out tonight if anything has actually changed.

Princess your DD sounds fab. I'm really chuffed some of us have managed to keep it quite normal for our kids. I was anxious at first as I just wasn't sure what to expect or how she'd handle being out and about but she's been a superstar. She has her lockdown meltdown moments but they're mostly due to not seeing her siblings and missing out on new things her baby nephew is doing.

We'll be having a big visit to see DS and his little family this week, then DD1 and her partner when her 14 day isolation is up. Can't wait. Hugs WILL be happening

Princess thank you

She is, I'm taking no credit for it though. She probably ended up like this in spite of me rather than because of me.

Her main worry atm is if we'll still be able to go to Chessington for Halloween as is tradition. Oh and going swimming.

No idea if I should keep her "sheltered" or try to emphasise the impact more since she's not really feeling it/is aware of it.

Evening all.

Well its crap weather here today. So I have taken out my tape in extentions. Removed the glue from them. Sat with coconut oil on my hair to get the last of the glue out. Retaped them, ready to to go back in.

Going to dye my hair this week, first. Productive day and the stuff cost me £9. Instead of the £100 it normally costs to have them taken out and put back in at the hairdressers.

So win-win. Just want to get in bed though. Feel exhausted, not sure why though.

Hope you are all OK!

Princess hopefully by Halloween there might be more places open? I hope she gets her chessington visit

My DD is hoping for a trip to the seaside in the summer. We'll see how that pans out eh! I've told her it's a possibility but not to hold it against me if the man in charge vetoes it

Peggy have you had your fuck all day yet?

Crow it was supposed to be a holiday year for us since OH is turning 50 and we haven't been in ages. That would've been his present since he doesn't do people,parties or things. Obviously a no no now. Will have to actually figure out a present now.

have you had your fuck all day yet?

Twas Friday. Not quite as planned. I asked dp to move out. So got the rest of the day alone. 🤷‍♀️

Like properly move out? Gone?

Yeah. We had words. He said some stuff I dont know if I can move past.

And Turns out he is deeply offended I dont want to marry him....whilst saying he never wants to get married again. Apparantly me not wanting to get married makes him think I am not bothered about him.

Him not wanting to get married is fine because he has been through all that before and doesn't want to do through it again.

Except I have been married before too. It was all just confusing and painful and I dont have the energy. He went to his sisters, came back for some stuff.

His sister is my best friend so can't even talk to her.

No sure what's going to happen. I am just exhausted with everything. I just want my dad.

Oh shit love . Are you ok?

Talk to us if we want , we're here to listen. I guess it wasn't the lockdown after all. Hugs ..not even distanced.

Its ok. I keep moaning on here enough lol.

I dont know. It could be lockdown is just getting to us.

He was just always the person that had my back. Then he wasn't. He is so upset I don't want to marry him. Or maybe it was just because it came out in an argument. I dunno.

He is the only man I ever saw that made me stop in my tracks when he smiled at me. I dont know where my head is at tbh.

What brought down the marriage thing? Since he doesn't want to either why is it even an issue?

Are you done or just moved out/taking a break?

And moan as much as you want it's a support thread, we just happen to laugh, inspect flaps and drool over hot men alongside it.

Oh Peggy that's shit, I'm sorry

The argument just got stupid. I cant even remember how it came up. He said something about me having an issue with him not wanting to get married I said 'what the fuck....i don't want to marry you why would it bother me that you don't?' And he said "why are you even with me if you dorn want to marry me?'

Then it descended into 'really, its OK for you to not want to marry me, but not ok for me to not want to marry you

And it just got ridiculous. Without making excuses for him. He had s fucked up childhood. A really fucked up one. His dad worked away and him mum moved out leaving him and his siblings alone for a week. He was 1. His oldest sibling was 5.

His dad brought them up for a bit and then remarried. They were alcoholics. Dragged them up. Dp was abused by step mils father. When step mil had a child (my best friend) she basically decides the other kids were too hard work. The grandfather abused her dd and she still didn't do anything. Dps dad forced him to steal cars from 13 etc. Then his dad died.

Step mil has severe mental health issues. Still lives with my best friends whose family life has to reolve around her or she gets drunk and abusive. She is ruining my beat friends life. But can be lovely. Though she once told me I should go back to my abusive exh.

I think dp is terrified I don't really want to be with him. That I will leave him when something better comes along etc.

He started counselling before lockdown and done some online sessions. He probably thinks me not wanting to get married is me rejecting him. Rather than I just don't want to get married again. He thinks I would get married, again, if he was someone else.

I guess he thinks I dont want to marry him not that I don't want to get married at all.

His problems don't usually impacts us 99% of the time. But its the only thing I can think it would be.

I know its stupid. But right now I feel like this fuckimg lockdown has ruined my life..

It hasn't. I am lucky to still be working. But I just feel everything was great in the new year. Both had decent jobs. Kids doing well in school. He had some health issues but we were going to be ok

Now have 2 kids climbing the walls, one wage coming in, i think he is depressed, I just want to cry the time.

I know i am incredibly lucky to still have a wage coming that covers the bills. But my life was so much better before this shit happened.

I know its pathetic. I know i am lucky. But right now, I feel that way.

Peggy you’re not being stupid at all

Hugs to you. I wish I could help.
