What's everyone's evening plans?

 

[Moongirl69]

Yeah its pretty easy. I found crochet and normal knitting too difficult.

I love the pattern of the blanket you're making

Aw thank you. It's called Call the Midwife. Like the programme...I never watched it.

I'm watching a bit of Celeb SAS while I wait for MAFS to start! I couldn't go on sas me, I'd end up crying cos of they speak to me

Oh they're hard as nails them. I love Foxy.... Ant is too try hard.

 

[Penguin86]

I'm too much of a tight arse to put the heating on

Haha. Best way to be

 

[coconochanel]

how do you upload pics?

 

[AnderbeauJohnson]

I have no idea what it means and I'm really not sure I should google.

 

[watermelon sugar]

I have a dolce gusto cant stand tassimo.

to be fair there seems to be more available for the dolce gusto ones but my fella got me the tassimo for Christmas so I can’t complain really

 

[AnderbeauJohnson]

Well done @kittypaws - what type of colour are you wanting to go for?

 

[watermelon sugar]

@AnderbeauJohnson where do you get your tango ice blasts??

 

[GlennCoco]

What is everyone watching tonight?

I've fallen in love with this YouTube channel - it's just so serene

I'm not watching anything but MrGlenCoco is watching Vikings. I'm trawling through the Internet looking for free printables for my bullet journal

They sell them in a One Stop within walking distance... and also within melting distance.

the Spar by me sells them but next to it is a panda slush and it’s intriguing me! Their like 3.50 each though! Daylight robbery! My spar also has a freshly squeezed orange machine as well

 

[BelleAmie]

@WilmaHun what house stuff have you done so far?!

 

[Blue pumpkin]

@Blue pumpkin what about a Wilko?

Yes I have a Wilko near me which I like. I usually get my cleaning stuff and toiletries from there or savers. Just curious to nose around a b&m or home bargains. Are they similar to Wilko?

 

[Moongirl69]

Yes but you dont get enough in a packet.

That's why a 6 pack is best . I don't have a sweet tooth but I love crisps and crackers

 

[watermelon sugar]

Oh no, you 'll be shattered later in the day. I got woken by screeching foxes

I know it's quite cold as well!! Can you not get back to sleep?

 

[WeepingCassandra]

I'm going to walk over to Lidl later and grab some shopping before coming home via Subway I think. (Or I might just get a nice roll and some sandwich filler in Lidl...)

OH's work have been making noises about him moving to America for a few years, which I don't particularly want to do but they are very insistent and I'd rather go with him than not. In the off chance that they turn from polite enquiry to demanding he goes, I've been looking at what it would take to do the job I do here in America. Difficult to explain without giving away my rather unique job title but I'll try. It's a mixed bag of good and bad news on that front really - On the good side, I would be able to transfer my degree and professional registration over because I did a MSc rather than a BSc (all Americans doing my job have to have a MSc for some reason). The bad side is there's a 120 multiple choice question exam on the ENTIRE field of my profession, which in the UK we don't do (you do generic training then specialise when you've got some years under your belt - but even when you're working generically when you qualify, you would not do certain areas for instance paeds and mental health if you worked in an adult hospital). I've just done a practice test and one of the questions was "The director of a neighbouring [REDACTED] service has visited a local practitioner and noticed they are typing their notes on a Personal Electronic Tablet, which is speeding up time of service delivery and allowing the practitioner to see twice as many patients. What should the director do?". There's also a question about "A mother of a 15 year old in a paediatric unit has told you she suspects her son may be interested in girls sexually, what should you say to her?" Like, what the actual fuck? I don't think they'd enjoy my straight talking style across the pond.

Apparently the correct answer to those is to ban the use of personal electronic tablets (I'm guessing because of their GDPR style laws) and tell the mother that "It is natural for adolescent males to exhibit interest the opposite sex" (not, your kid is 15 mate, what do you expect). Makes sense.

The other issue is that my specialism isn't recognised in America very well, for various reasons... it's recognised as a medical field, but not in my professional field largely because of their culture around insurance and "thou shalt not die" (I work in palliative care).

Morning Gang! I got out of bed nice and early in preparation for my travels for my friend who I’m going in with to text and say ‘let’s not go in till the afternoon’

oh no! but did you get an outfit sorted?

 

[Penguin86]

@Peaches_xox I used to make my sandwiches the night before and put them in the fridge. I'm not functional in the morning haha

 

[watermelon sugar]

My fella is watching celebrity SAS and I’m just playing on my phone we’ve ordered a kfc… guess im not calorie counting today… woops

 

[Savannah_xx]

Yes, I also had a cold this week. Wouldn't think you can get them in summer but seems so.

 

[hereforthememe]

ooo I just have a machine that filters coffee for me can't stand the pods because I just want black coffee, or sometimes a mocha if I'm feeling posh but the pods are too fancy for me!
