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

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.

Today is a great drying day. I’m going to wash my towels.

& clean my freezer. Excited.

I had some little To Do notebooks from Paperchase and went back to buy some more.
The assistant couldn't find them and said they didn't have them but after searching I found them !!!

I have grown my hair since lockdown and decided to keep the length when I had my hair cut and coloured a few weeks ago. I can now have a high ponytail for bed and it has more volume in the mornings now. Simple but not something I would have done if there had never been lockdown.

I've just found my ideal setting on the toaster.

@poppym12 wow well done! I have never managed that. it is so hard!

I am tempted to remove the knobs so that no one can change it.

I havent' done any washing for a while but I'm on my last pair of panties so today's the day!! Fun ahead for me

I was going to cancel my milk delivery because DC have gone off it. Went through 12 pints a week last year and now 2 pints a week, which usually get wasted. Felt bad for milkman as lots of people have cancelled now that we can visit shops whenever we want. Then I remembered he can deliver eggs and butter, so I changed my order from milk to eggs and butter.

@poppym12 put a tippex or nail polish dot exactly where the dial needs to go

I have Egyptian toes

Today is a beautiful, sunny day! I’m going to walk into town to visit the blinds shop and choose blinds for our kitchen and bathroom.

I've just walked past a black jumper and said hello to it, thinking it was the cat. I'm now off for a sit down.

I didn't get any GCSE results today because I took mine in the 70s.
At that time, grade 1 was the best you could get and 9 an abysmal failure.
I got grade 9 for chemistry.

Great thread! Doing boring things can be quite interesting.

I went to Sainsbury's to get one thing. When I went I found loads of reduced meat we eat all the time, so that can be froze and I don't need to do a big shop now. I also found some glittery welly boots my daughter would love for £6 reduced from £20. Perked my day up.

I've got Celtic toes and I've done two loads of washing so far today. Going to get my car mucked out so she is tidy to see her doctor tomorrow.

I’m another one whose grown their hair during lockdown I’ve gone from a pixie cut to a weird looking mullet style. Today I’m wearing pigtails - I’m 41.

I’ve ordered next weeks food shop

I’ve also ordered a sewing kit - I only needed some navy thread but decided a whole kit was a better idea.

I’m still in bed wasting time on MN when I should be getting washing done.

@Sunbird24 i am supposed to be writing a job spec for a member of my staff and i am procrasonating

What is this egyptian and celtic toes thing everyones on about?

@Bells3032 there’s a picture on page 1 of lots of different toe types, can’t decide what mine are!

Later this afternoon I will be taking delivery of my Lakeland heated dryer so I can dry my washing without having to put the heating on. I nearly didn't post this as I'm sure you'll agree it's borderline too exciting for this thread.

@Sunbird24 oh thanks. mine are egyptian.

I bought a new rug today

I can't decide if I have Greek or African toes. As far as I'm aware, I'm about as genetically British as they come. DF has gone back quite a few generations in our family history & has only found English ancestors with the exception of one family who lived in Wales for a while...
