Guilt free railing

[WouldBeGood]

The place to vent, moan, rail, cheer: whatever you’re feeling about Covid, and the rules, and life and the universe.

I’ve started this as I’m feeling scared and fed up with increasing restrictions despite vaccines. I feel that what should be a more positive time is instead bringing more and more doom.

I want the simple pleasures of life back, as well as all the big stuff.

Debates whether I could persuade DH to drive 20 miles for Krispy Kreme. Might be pushing it. Might manage more like 10 miles for m&s yumnuts

Sounds like an essential journey to me

@Bytheloch 😂😂 I'm laughing but who fucking knows now

@Bytheloch

The ronseal approach- does what it says on the tin. I wonder how many we’ll get to using the number sequence...Guilt Free Railing #54 when we’re allowed to have a sparkling mineral water, outside a pub, alone, only from 11am and before 1136.

No ice allowed in that drink by the way, the data on ice suggests we shouldn’t be having ice served from hospitality until all pet hamsters have had the vaccine.

oh FFS, youse aren't supposed to be making me feel worse. Krispy Kreme don't deliver here and I'm meant to be getting back on my diet.

wants a fucking krispy kreme

sulks

@jabbathebutt sorry

I'm on a Lenten thing of giving up obviously sweet stuff. I'm allowing myself jam and marmalade though😄.

This isn't the time for diets @jabbathebutt, food is one of few pleasures in life just now.

Yeah I am giving up nothing this year for lent. Have decided I will give up Wine when and only when the pandemic is over 😂

Sparkling you say. Don’t get carried away

Outrageous.

Will be a glass of tap water handed to you with a gripper

@IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021

Yeah I am giving up nothing this year for lent. Have decided I will give up Wine when and only when the pandemic is over 😂

And straight on to champagne

I toyed with wine but rejected it as a necessity.

Sweet stuff is because I'm scared I may need dental work! I am not good at sacrifice and went for the easy win!

@OldRailer

So I'm no longer fed up, namechanged now as I am feeling refreshed as a railer.

Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be an OldRailer 😆

Yep. Need some cosmetic work done before I namechange to SlightlyMoreYouthfulRailer.

I'm attempting dry lent - it's probably a good time for my liver, and not buying random 'necessities' from the internet. Since those are my two main lockdown pleasures it could be tough!

@titsbumfannythelot

Thank you for the name change inspiration. What a show that was.

It was good.

You're welcome @TonightMatthew I wish I'd thought of that name change myself now though!

I've just eaten a chocolate so can't give those up for Lent now .

I've settled for a kit kat.

going to pretend it has no syns

I've just picked up on the comment about the glass of tap water handed to you with a gripper.😄

@GoldenOmber, see your post yesterday at 22:56? Send it to NS. It's the grim reality for so many mothers right now.

Now I'm not religious and don't really know what the lent thing is about, but I'm thinking that any god couldn't really give a feck if Claire at Number 22 has given up Custard creams for a few weeks?

I'd like to think that they would have compassion and understanding for the current circumstances and is also watching what is going on and thinking, "FFS Nicola, will you gie folks a bit of hope", even the devil like a laugh.

Hope that's not too sacrilegious? :o

Oh I had a chocolate in error from my DC earlier. I'm just not counting it as it was tiny compared with any normal portion I take. We are talking homeopathic.

@OldRailer

I've just picked up on the comment about the glass of tap water handed to you with a gripper.😄

Ha, yes just spotted too. Grippers will be rusty by then.

I'm not religious. For me it's a peg to hang some little, tiny, daily discipline on. I've failed already today by thoughtlessness but I'm going to plough on with it as a sort of negative habit remover.
