Guilt Free Railing 6

[WouldBeGood]

When will the railing end?!

@Lockdownbear

Self Inflating Mat, they have a foamy sponge type material in them that draws the air in to inflate them. The foam provides insulation as it holds the air in small pockets.

Ah thank you x

[quote rookiemere]@Groovee ooh I've heard about that cafe at Saughton and never been. Enjoy your lunch ![/quote]
It's lovely. Normally we walk there, grab takeaway, find a bench and walk home but Dh can't walk for the time it would take.

@WouldBeGood

I’ve only been to Saughton to go to the jail.

I've been there too. The park however is much nicer.

@RedactedTaeFeck

Used to love saughton gardens, the beautiful rose garden and bandstand then a run around the grassy bit (where the play park is now) there was an older park in my day at the east gate which had a proper paddling pool. Happy days.

That's the park I remember as a child then at primary they moved to the current park.

Same here @ResilienceWanker I will rail against camping until the end of time.

Leaving my home and heating and fridge and hair straighteners to go and sleep in a sack on the ground, and heat up hot dogs over a small flame?

Fuck that.

I'll be honest, I most likely will not camp.

I am not a fan of camping but am easily talked into things everyone in my house wants to do 😬

I’m not really a fan but so so bored and I’m fucked if I’m spending thousands on a damp midge ridden bothy when I could just pay £9 a night, or nothing 😂

Though scarred by childhood I will never never go to a Scottish island or on a ferry

I remember the new park area opening - those swings that looked like orangutans hanging from the bars . I used to take my nieces and nephews when they were little and staying over at my mum's.

I was gutted when I took my 2 and they had removed the orangatan swings. I loved them.

Often took my brownies to the park on nice nights too when I did brownies nearby x

@WouldBeGood - far too well dressed to be a social worker - brilliant !

@WouldBeGood

I remember being outraged when I went to the gate at being asked “Agent or social work?”

Luckily the other guy said “She’s far too well dressed to be a social worker” so I felt vindicated 😂

😂😂 that's made laugh. I delivered the papers. The officers were always nice to me.

We're off to North Berwick tomorrow- sound the klaxons we are released!

I am a bit wiped out because sideways work move that I thought hadn't come through has now come good so I've now got the nervous excitement of starting a new role soon. Not sure I can cope with that and everything opening at the same time. I mainly applied for a frisson of excitement from interminable wfh.

Anyway it is good - I'm basically planning on sideways moves every couple of years now until retirement- but I'm emotionally frazzled.

Enjoy your trip at @rookiemere I love North Berwick

We did some family socialising last weekend and we were exhausted from the effort - how will we cope with the freedom?

@riverrunning we have a couple of friends coming this evening for virtual outdoor wine tasting after a day out at North Berwick- DH also has a tip trip late afternoon- worried it may all be too much for us (thankfully wine tasting ends at 8 so it won't be a late night)

Good luck - hope it stays lovely weather!

@Icannever The cafe at the findhorn foundation is really good. There is a fab bakery in Nairn who stocks the patisserie cakes in the cafe and the shop. I highly recommend the almond croissants! They look like blobs but taste incredible! The beach is beautiful too, as is Cuilben forest across the river.

Can someone please remind me that the 4 month sleep regression doesn't last forever? I got 2 hours sleep last night and baby ds screamed at me for 30 minutes before going down for his nap. Ds1 was also in a foul mood this morning going off to nursery.
I just feel like a terrible mother, dh had to come off his laptop and settle the baby for a nap which obviously I'm grateful for but it just made me feel worse why would he go to sleep for dh and not for me?

It will indeed pass. Babies are always worse for their mums aren't they - something about feeling safest with you so they can safely show their emotions. Can you get a minute to yourself at all today?

I'm meant to be getting my nails done at lunchtime and dh is taking the baby for a walk but I'm so tired and tearful that I'm now dreading sitting making conversation for 90 minutes with the girl who does my nails. I think i really don't cope well with no sleep.
Sitting staring at the baby sleeping now and feeling guilty as I was getting so frustrated earlier.

Aw shouldistop

I feel your pain. Can’t rember the last time I had a full nights sleep

Take your phone and buds. Listen to a book or a podcast or just some music

Just tell her you are very tired and just want to chill no need to chat

The fresh conversation might make you feel better @shouldistop

Hopefully you'll get more sleep tonight, I can cope with whatever life throws at me so long as I've had enough sleep. Being tired is bloody awful.

@shouldistop oh no! Don’t cancel your nails though. I’m having to do mine myself and am very jealous. You’ll feel better when it’s done.

@rookiemere have a lovely day. And evening.

I’ve been in my treadmill. Trying to do a mile a day: that gives me an incentive to go as fast as possible to get it over with 😄
