Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news...

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Anybody care to join?

I realised that it was the everyday stuff I missed most during lockdown. I really miss things being normal and dull and unexciting. Everyone in RL just talks covid covid covid all the bloody time. If it isn't covid it's recessions and A levels.

I bought a new flask. It's a 500ml Thermocafe and I love it. I take it into work and out into the garden.

I am also learning to do something called a "halo braid" in my hair. I am so bad at braiding it's unbelievable.

The cat hid a dead shrew in DH's slipper this morning.

I invite you all to top this parade of mediocrity.

I have just eaten a bag of popcorn and an orange kitkat and feel a bit sick

I am going to get a glass of fizzy water

My son changed his bed and hoovered his room last night

I have towels in the washing machine

I have greek toes

That's the dull and mediocre thing I spent my weekend doing, obviously...

finally managed to cut the grass yesterday and now this bastard rain will have it 5 ft long again in minutes!

First year ever (only lived here 16 yrs) we have managed to grow tomatos. LOTS of tomatos. We don't freeze things. So I am going to eat 6-8 fresh large tomatoes daily for next month, I suspect!

Found a smooth hair product that actually works!

I accidentally dropped my favourite stoneware beaker and it smashed, but I have got a nice new one on ebay.

I've just had poached eggs, ham and 2 small tomatoes for lunch.

The dog is barking in a very half-hearted manner at nothing in particular while gazing out of the window.

I'm going to have a shower and wash my hair soon.

We’re going to have a cooked breakfast for lunch.

Pork chipolatas
Streaky bacon
Fried eggs
Mushrooms, sautéed
Cherry tomatoes, sautéed
Baked beans
Hash browns

I’m having a cup of tea now.

I’ve managed to decide which tiles I want for my new bathroom (Attingham seagrass) and have narrowed down the choice of bath to 2 options. I’m either having a ‘freestanding‘ bath with shower over or an L shaped one. Opinions welcome

I had a dissapointing ham and tomato sandwich for lunch "finest tomatoes" my eye

I've rolled up several individual listings on ebay into one. If that doesn't shift it, it will all go to the car boot sale. If that doesn't shift it, it will go to the charity shop.

Asda has substituted dishwasher salt for dishwasher tablets in my delivery due later. Bit annoying as I don't need dishwasher salt, but have only one tablet left. So I'm now going to have to go to the shops specifically for dishwasher tablets. However, going to the shops will be more entertaining than anything else I've done today so I suppose it's not too bad. Have you fallen asleep yet?

the80sweregreat do tell! I need some of that!

I've been using 'Percy and reed volumising no oil oil! ' I am not good with products usually on my hair but this came part of a set of products in the M and S beauty bag so I gave it a go : tiny bit on towel dried hair. I was surprised it worked and wasn't oily.

It's absolutely p'ing down outside and i've got to take my dog for his walk. Another wet coat (and dog) to dry out.

I got my eyebrows waxed today.
I bought a big cabbage.
My OH has lost the salt and dish cloth.

DS needs new shoes. He is an adult size 8 and obsessed with orange. Orange trainers are increasingly hard to find for his big feet, but we found some that are suitably orange enough on M&M direct.

I skipped the baked beans for lunch.

I’ve now made a banana loaf cake, which will be ready in about an hour.

I've seen some really nice curtain fabric for the spare bedroom.

Just made rose water and honey madeleines. They’re amazing.

I decided to eat up a tin of macaroni cheese that's been lying around for a year. It was surprisingly tasty.

I haven't bought any school uniform yet. And now I am worried because a few on this thread have.

I think I'm going to have a nap on the sofa and see if I wake up feeling better about the whole debacle.

Could I respectfully ask people not to mention school uniforms please?

I have Egyptian toes.

@MojoJojo71 L shaped for sure. I have never owned a freestanding bath but I would worry about muck gathering underneath and around the bottom of the bath.

This is not ok if you don't clean properly, however, if you are a tidy sort, it will probs be ok.

@MrsBobDylan I am definitely not the tidy sort so L shaped probably best

We have had our first cupid box delievered today with everything you need for a night it (non sexual). this months theme is sports and looks really fun. Gonna give it a go tonight though not sure on the space wise in our tiny flat.

Also currently awaiting my first piece of Chewlery (jewellery made for chewers) to try and refocus my chewing habit from my nails.
