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.

I have a slightly expensive and indulgent grocery delivery coming tomorrow and I can't wait.

CoronaIsShit · 23/08/2020 22:32

Thank you Katy! I’m very relieved for them both Grin.

On my GF grill I tried a ham and cheese panini.

I was watching YouTube on Friday night and an American bloke was making a bacon and cheese sandwich on his GF, quite a revelation. A tip was to butter the outside of the bread so it goes nice and crispy..

My mum used to do this for cheese toasties: delicious.
BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/08/2020 23:20

I use my George Forman to make toasties and I wrap them in some greaseproof paper so I don't need to clean melted cheese off the grill. I can reuse the same piece greaseproof paper for the whole family.

Frownette · 23/08/2020 23:27

I'm a combination of restless and tired at the moment so got a cup of tea and chocolate.

I'd like to see my friend but think he's asleep.

userxx · 23/08/2020 23:30

I'm going to try a tuna melt this week. Good tip about the grease proof paper 👍

AnyFucker · 23/08/2020 23:32

Tuna melts are great

I love a corned beef toastie too

In other news, I am going to be a grandmother

Cocolapew · 23/08/2020 23:39

Oh that's exciting AF, congratulations 🎉

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 23/08/2020 23:42

I love marrowfat peas & mushy peas. The ones that come in a cardboard box and you soak them then boil. Think il be living off them before payday Grin

Also. I found a cake pop maker in the cupboard under the stairs and ive took it out the box and put it in the kitchen to use at some point this century. Anyone used one before?

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 23/08/2020 23:45

@KatySun

What type of food items are they?

And do you have an air fryer? Love mine! You can get one for less than 50 quid could be a temp measure til you get oven fixed? I use mine about 90% more than my oven since i got it!

AnyFucker · 23/08/2020 23:46

It's only exciting for me @Cocolapew

It's a bit dull for everyone else. But thanks. I am chuffed to bits.

userxx · 23/08/2020 23:47

I was just thinking how nice that would be! Warm corned beef just melts.

Congratulations on your news, beats tuna melts hands down.

BalletShoe · 23/08/2020 23:57

I washed the skirting board in the kitchen.

Redshoeblueshoe · 24/08/2020 01:42

Greek toes.
This is probably way too exciting for this thread but my Venus Fly Trap actually caught a fly !
The fact it's made me deliriously happy says it all really Shock Blush

cricketmum84 · 24/08/2020 07:09

Ah @AnyFucker that's lovely news!!

BikeRunSki · 24/08/2020 07:11

@AnyFucker, that’s lovely news. Far too exiting for this thread!

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 24/08/2020 07:14

That's much too exciting for here! Congratulations Smile

I had a lovely halloumi and avocado toasted muffin from Starbucks and dropped it.

cricketmum84 · 24/08/2020 07:19

My new "tummy and bust gel" has given me a rash 😫

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 24/08/2020 07:20

I just came up from feeding NDN cats and cleaning the litter.
The younger one is a sibling of our late DCat, the older one is getting really old and sleeps mostly or ignores me.

SpeedofaSloth · 24/08/2020 07:23

I need to do a lot of ironing today. I am having a cup of coffee first though.

AnyFucker · 24/08/2020 07:25

Thanks x

userxx · 24/08/2020 07:45

Another combo I need to try.

sashh · 24/08/2020 07:50

I had my oven cleaned.

Chanel05 · 24/08/2020 08:00

I really like cookie sandwich desserts (cookies with ice cream in the middle) and I found one in a restaurant last night. Not had one in about two years!
