@watermelon sugar Happy anniversary!
ahhh mate I get what you mean about feeling lonely. I started volunteering and took up volleyball and got a personal trainer at the gym just so I could talk to people when I first moved back to Manc from London. Funnily enough, nowadays none of my main friendship groups are from any of those things but I'm glad I have them there as they're still acquaintances and you never know what could turn into friendships further down the line! As the others say, are there any mum groups in your area or anything social you could do that Mini Watermelon could come along to?
@bolimepipi please don't feel like a failure, I know you'll get back into it when you've tested negative
that farmer show sounds amazing as my fave person from Married At First Sight was a farmer and he was a lovely bloke
@under the ivy awww Rosie being a good little PhD assistant
@Nolongerjustalurker that's amazing, bees are so cute!
@ricardoylucia I hope your treatment goes smoothly
@AnderbeauJohnson taking one day at a time seems like a good strategy! You've got this. Enjoy your chippy tea
One of those days today where you have a plan to do a lot but it never really happens
I started off well but got dragged into some meeting at 1pm that went on for AGES, no need for me to be in it really as it was mainly my friend and my manager doing their usual chatting-
tit routine to each other. I usually would have joined in but not the day before a deadline! I got
tit to do, ya know?! I finally had my lunch break around 3pm, went to Superdrug and scooped up the only Vitamin E Hydrating Mist left in the store by the looks of it
They'd hidden it by the tills, the sneaky buggers
Got back, made a Jamie Oliver superfood noodle salad - not really superfood as I couldn't be arsed buying the fancy ingredients just for one recipe, but it was still nice. Took ages tho coz I only have one pan since my flatmate moved out and I realised he owned most of the kitchen stuff
had to boil noodles, empty the pan, boil broccoli, empty the pan etc etc. I love making things difficult for myself
Then when I eventually sat down I ended up talking to the junior designer below me for ages on the phone about Blossoms (a band from Stockport, where I'm from) and having such a good bonding session! She's always been very quiet so I wasn't sure about her but it seems we actually have a lot common. Nice to make a new work friend!
I watched Pointless and just made a brew and am shoving choc buttons in my gob as I type.
Also can everyone just appreciate me being Tattle famous last night, I made it to that sidebar on the homepage of most liked posts

Glad my Steve Arnott obsession brought me some Tattle glory
