Hey hey how are we all doing?

I woke up at 7.30 and watched the Olympics in bed with numerous cups of coffee until 10am. It was bliss

Mr M is having a dad/daughter day with middle kid they are away to the cinema to watch Spirit.
I'm busy trying to convince the other 2 to get off devices and come for a walk. It's not going well 😂😂

Might hunt out my switch lite and revisit my poor abandoned island or i might just lie on the sofa and eat crap.

Nothing else to report really. Hope everyone is doing ok

@isabellalovescats hey lovely haven't seen a post in a while, hope you are good

Hiiii Guys,
I haven’t posted in a while. I was away at butlins last week. It was actually well good and I’d go back. Little peaches had a blast. He must have told me ‘I love holidays’ 37263 times. I was exhausted, and he spent so much money in the arcade my soul was destroyed but it’s all worth it for the happiness right?! Oh and the supermarket was well expensive. £3.79 for Pringles and almost a fiver for tampons 😮
Back working today after a week off. I had 618 emails. Most of which have been deleted, cos there’s no way I’m reading them all. Just don’t tell my boss 🙊 it’s been really hard to get my head into it. I spent all day thinking why oh why do I have to work.
Oh and little peaches smashed my computer screen before we left for holiday 🥴 Well annoying cos it’s an all in one computer so quite expensive and my insurance company are being really long in replacing it or paying me for it. I can’t decide if I should wait it out or just buy my new one now and wait for them to pay me 🤷🏽‍♀️
Nothing else to report from me really. Going to have a jacket potato for dinner, wash my hair and watch telly before bed. Hope everybody is okay x

Hi, hope everyone is okay! 🧡
Not updated in a while but thought I’d pop on tonight.
Havent really had loads to report on in the last few weeks, the usual, work, eat, sleep, repeat. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
Have had a lot going on personally so the last few weeks have felt a bit of a whirlwind to be honest! 😐
I’m STILL not in the house I bought in April! Probate is taking an absolute age and it’s becoming so frustrating. Estate agents and the sellers solicitor is really poor at giving updates so that’s a barrel of laughs 😞
I was supposed to be on annual leave all of next week so had made plans to see family/friends etc but my boss has just text and informed me the person who was due to be coming from another office to cover me has caught Covid so I’ve had to cancel my leave. I can have Monday off but that’s it 🤬🤬🤬 not their fault of course. It can’t be helped. But so frustrating that the part timers who do one day each in my office aren’t willing to just work 1 extra day each so I can have time off 😔 I did ask but they all made their excuses 😞
Anyway hope everyone is doing okay. 🧡

Hi everyone. I haven't posted for a while either. Nothing very interesting has happened. I went the dentist today after being SUPER paranoid about my teeth. I was a mess 🤣 I got myself convinced they were gonna fall out. I was texting my fella saying I think all my teeth are gonna fall out. His reply was "at least you'll be even better at blowjobs" I got to the dentist and told the dentist I was 100% certain my teeth were gonna fall out. He checked them and was like 'your teeth aren't gonna fall out. Their lovely and strong.' I was all 'aw shucks.' I was overcome with happiness, I nearly snogged him I was that happy 🤣 I treated myself to a pack of honey, mustard & onion pretzel bites from m&s for being a big brave gal x

Not much to report today.
My 20 year old car passed its MOT which was a result.
Finished putting the finishing touches on sons bedroom ready for his return tomorrow. Can’t wait to see his little face when he’s surprised by it.
Popped to B&M and the range for some bits for his room.
Worked from home a bit.
Chilling with a book tonight and a face mask I think.

@WilmaHun that’s absolutely ridiculous that you have to cancel your week off! You should fake having Covid. They’d have to find cover for you then 🙊🙊🙊

I've realised though that no matter how hard I try, I'm not going to be able to budget when paying for everything by card - there is just some sort of mental disconnect there where it doesn't feel like money money. Especially with contactless payments. So I've got out some cash for Mon-Sun next week, it's a pretty generous budget but it is lots less than I have been frittering away and I'll see how I get on with it.
I feel this. I stopped paying for things with my credit card and switched to a debit card for daily expenses account. I just deposit a certain amount each month and make do with that. Saves me the hassle of cash when I can choose contactless payment and still keeps me accountable compared to the credit card. Glad the internet-limitation worked well! I'm so awful at this, I have to find a way to cut that twitch where I immediately reach for the phone the moment I am bored, even if I have nothing to do on it. I'll try a better planned approach 😩

Thank you for the kind words 💚💚

I've still felt numb but actually got stuff done today. My friend has kindly offered to do my laundry for me as she knows I tend to forget to take care of basic needs when I'm really low.

My brother asked me if I wanted a kitten because his partners cousins cat is pregnant and I was like yeeeees of course but my housemates bf doesn't like cats (even though pixie made him love her) but my housemate really wants one so she worked on him and eventually he gave in. So fingers crossed. I do feel bad not adopting from a shelter so to ease my guilt I'm going to donate what would have been adoption fees to my local cat shelter.

I spent some time outside enjoying the fresh air and watching pixie enjoy herself. First time I've picked my camera up in a while

Let's do this old school...

- Had weekly work video meeting and, after 15 months of them I still forget how to talk
- Spent way over my allotted internet time today and binged but tomorrow is a brand new day
- Researched to see if there is a link between ASD and dental phobias and apparently there is a very strong link, which gives me a tiny bit of hope that one day I'll be able to get my teeth sorted
- We're apparently going back to the office in September so I've been proactive in trying to organise team stuff outside of work (still in the working day, not random Saturday or 8pm stuff) - there's one other person who is keen for us to socialise more and throwing around ideas so that's great!

Hello all,
I was really anxious last week starting Wednesday or Thursday, so I think I slept the whole day (not even kidding) on Thursday to shut off my brain. Woke up around midnight crying because my cat jumped on my bed and accidentally clawed my upper lip and it bled. I was mad at him. We have reached a peace accord today though and we snuggled. So it's all good.
A childhood friend's father passed away from Covid. She herself got Covid as well and it is day 11 now. Her father was also a friend of my father so my dad is sad and scared of Covid. Her father was only in his late 50's or at most 60. Gone way too soon, as my friend said. She's in Asia so I couldn't visit or anything but I messaged with her back and forth a bit on Instagram.
Friday evening to this afternoon, I spent time with Blondie. I did teach on Friday and Saturday nights over Zoom at his place. I cried while I was drunk Friday late at night because I was still so anxious. For some reason, we were talking about relatives who passed away. So I ended up telling him about my uncle who passed away from cancer in 2018 and cried. Blondie's dad also passed away from cancer 5 or so years ago.
We planned to go to the beach on Sunday but the weather was so cloudy so we decided to just go eat out for dinner at a Vietnamese place and spent the rest of the day inside. We spent the whole weekend mainly inside watching movies and making/eating food and cuddling a lot. He got me to try poutine but I was not converted haha. I don't like soggy fries! Though I must admit, I liked the cheese curds with gravy!
It is a long weekend here for some reason so I just have been laying low. Have to start working on school again though because I have a meeting with my supervisor this Thursday afternoon and I have 120 pages to read before that.
Really relate to what @AnderbeauJohnson said about budgeting and paying by card. It is just so easy to overspend when money doesn't feel like money when we can all easily tap a card or click on a browser button to buy things. I might also start using cash or at least debit more often. Thank you very much. ❤
Thank you @Meangirl815 for thinking of me! I think it was supposed to be my period week plus my anxiety was really acting up so I decided to take a little break from online. I am feeling better now. 🤗
@Raymond Luxury-Yacht sending you all my love and hugs. Hope you are feeling better today. ❤
@Penguin86 I am so sorry for your loss. 💐
@Hope96 Hello, so good to see you post again. We have all missed you. 🤗
Really content staring into the bluest eyes all weekend while being held gently. I really can do it all day every day. Work and school the rest of the weekdays though.
Hope everyone had a good start to the week!

forgot to update yesterday!

had an early 7:30 history tour which i thoroughly enjoyed then went to the registry office with my couple who's getting married in a week & we had a coffee. then had another coffee with my sister and friend, went back home and continued working away on the laptop 💻

bf came home from work and we had a nice afternoon nap followed by, as the omnipresent MD would have said, a naughty afternoon in the sheets, woop woop :sneaky: i just remembered when (s)he said they were playing strip twister with kate. strip twister!!! what a life.

in the evening i went to pick up the dress and suit for the couple, and after that bf and i went shopping. i bought a dress for my friend's casual garden barbecue wedding on friday. i also bought some new underwear and socks, very exciting. got sandals and nail polish to match the new dress.

then we went grocery shopping. i really love grocery shopping for some reason. i could spend hours and hours just walking around the supermarket 🛒 anyway we got sushi as well which we had for dinner when we came home. watched a few episodes of 'how i met your mother' then bed!

today is a home office day so i doubt i'll have anything interesting to talk about and then in the evening i'm going for a drink with my clients! 🍹

Wheezing at this, what a time it was 😂 I miss their bizarre posts lol.

Will catch up later to give you all some love, but felt like updating. Woke up this morning with a banging headache which quickly turned into a migraine. After spending all day yesterday in the office with sunglasses, I finally asked to take today as a sick day, and thankfully they were okay with it. Spent all morning lounging around with migraine patches and cold bandanas wrapped around my head, and also put away the clean laundry while I'm at it. The painkiller is finally doing its job and I might spend the afternoon at home just catching up with a few life things and resting, which would be nice. Made myself a frappe and grabbed a bowl of popcorn since I'm not feeling as sick anymore and I think the coffee helped for once. Last night I was fuming at a family member after I had a chat with mum and I think it contributed to the icepick-like headache of this morning. The weather is too hot yet again so I'm parked in front of the fan. Might have meatballs for lunch with the leftover roasted veggies if I don't feel like throwing up by then. Hope everyone is okay <3 x

Sometimes caffeine can stop a migraine in its tracks for me.
Doesn't always work. But at least it's a good excuse to have a coffee 🙂🙂
Hope it clears soon for you


Hi guys

It's been a bad bad morning. So don't really want to share it

Going to change my attitude and try and restart the day

Pleased to see the thread picking back up tho.
