@GoofyPrincess ahh I forgot to wish you happy anniversary! I follow a few ladies who live in NYC on IG and the weather looked lovely and warm for you lot today. So jealous, wish we had some warmer weather here in the UK 😝

I was up bright and early to travel into the office today - weirdly, knowing I have to be in the office completely gets rid of that exhausted/lethargic feeling I've had recently whereas at home I flop about and procrastinate all day. I guess coz being in a work environment gives me a purpose rather than working from my bedroom? 🤔 Speaking of work we got an official update that we have to be back 3 days a week in the office from 21st June. I'm quite looking forward to it but I still have to find out what the bloody Wi-Fi code for the office is!! I'm about to run out of data 😫

I've mentioned before that being in the office makes me so anxious that I never eat when I'm there because I lose my appetite and feel a bit sick-y, but I'm pleased to report I felt absolutely normal and relaxed today! It's only taken me nearly ten visits to be normal 🙄 My big meeting this afternoon went really well. I also had a right little chinwag with my junior designer, she's so nice. Overall a really nice day. I also saw a little black cat on the train platform when I went home. I was concerned but my mum said it's probably the station cat. Is that a thing?? We don't have a station cat in Manchester 🤔

Got home and immediately showered and did my skincare and got into PJs. I have a right spotty fod today, no clue why, so I put some spot treatment on for a bit. I blame my fringe but then again I'm hating my fringe in general atm, it looks rank. I had a wrap and a bit of soup for tea, then a Dairy Milk and a cuppa whilst I browsed the many notifications @bolimepipi left on the LOD thread for me 😁 I watched Sewing Bee with my mum, did my laundry and now I'm writing my list for tomorrow. Can't believe it's nearly May already...
@aimzalicious I know exactly what you mean about feeling lethargic and procrastinating all day working from home, I am exactly the same. I feel like I can't fully get into proper work mode unless I'm in the office. Even after a year I still feel like it's not proper work when I'm home and I end up messing about most of the day and not really getting anything done.

It's my birthday 🎉

The sun is shining. I'm off for a walk later, will do some gardening and got a massage booked. Oh and eat lots of cake.
@Saddlesoap Happy Birthday 🥳

@Saddlesoap Happy birthday hope you’re having a good day!

not much to report here daughter is still covered in “chicken spots” just waiting for my little boy to come out in them
Now 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been in such a funk for the last week or so constantly sad/fed up and just can’t shake my bad mood but also can’t work out what’s getting me down?

Hello! I hope you don't mind me joining you here, it's oddly soothing reading about everyone else's day!

My day started crap but is getting better. Woke up with just half an hour to sort myself out and log in for work (working from home). I usually like to get up around 6.30, run and shower before I start work, but lately it's been difficult to get up before 8. I'm blaming a combination of being pregnant (currently 6 weeks, although noone knows except my husband) and coming off my mood stabilisers.

Anyway, coming off meds has caused my anxiety to spike, so I spent a lot of the morning feeling quite tearful and with a sense of dread hanging over me. I decided to take a break from staring at a screen and spent 20 minutes just listening to a podcast and putting away the giant pile of clean washing that's been sat in the corner of my 'office', after which I felt better enough to manage a dog walk.

Took the mutt and headed out towards some big plots of empty land that are hidden down an alleyway off my street. They're just patches of land between housing estates that are overgrown and wild, but mutt loves exploring and they're usually empty so I don't have to navigate any other dog walkers (mutt is very boisterous and despite over a year of training, he still can't help agitating other dogs into having a pop at him). We ended up out for an hour, but it did me the world of good. I can make up the time with work as we do flexi.

Logged back in in the afternoon and managed to clear some low-level tasks from my to do list. When I'm feeling like this, I try to focus on small tasks that feel productive without being overwhelming.

Plans for this evening include fishcakes for dinner, binge watching Greys Anatomy and Facetiming my mum and sister. Already warned them about the state I'm in so I'm hoping I won't be expected to be too sociable. Husband works nights so it'll just be me and the mutt, who I'm hoping will be passed out asleep after our wander.

@Saddlesoap Happy Birthday :m😘

Hi everyone.

Been up from just after 6am, I love the light mornings, getting up is just much easier.
Went to Tesco and Home Bargains with my mum but didn't really buy any alcohol this week because the pubs open outside tomorrow here in NI. Wooooo. 🤪.. haha.
Can't wait to catch pneumonia.
Into work for 9am and its been a long day as I know at around 4.50pm I will be skipping out of here until Tuesday.
My evening plans, do a workout, dye my hair and chill with my cat and boyfriend. We are having burgers and home made chips for food... love it. I think I was a burger in a past life.

I have a fun filled weekend planned so will be back tomorrow to fill you all in, its more exciting than my weekday eve's at the min :)

Enjoy the rest of your day x

Hello hello!

Today has been super busy again and I am just so exhausted this week. I don't even have the energy to write my usual lengthy posts about nothing in particular on this thread 😂 atm it takes all my energy just to get into work at the moment and I just work on autopilot and then when I get home I just want to lay in bed, I don't want to do the usual chores. I know that's life and part of being an adult but I'm over it this week 😂I'm hoping my workload will get a bit easier over the next couple of weeks but we'll see how it goes. I did manage to get a few big ongoing bits finalised today though so that has relieved some pressure ☺

I just want to go home and chill now, ideally with a pizza and some shite telly 😂 so looking forward to a long weekend and getting some much needed downtime.

Hope everyone is having a good day and that the many people who seemed to be poorly at the start of the week are recovering well! ❤

I literally have nothing to report today. It's been such a boring, dull day at work! Didn't even go for a wander on my lunch break because I couldn't be bothered.
Counting down the minutes until 5pm so I have 4 days off 🥳 🥳
Have a lovely evening all, I'm going for a run on my own down the beach then going to have a bit of a pamper sesh, bath bombs, face mask, the lot 🥰

Well hello there,

Decided to have a boring day today, just to mix things up a bit.

Went and did the school run, then put some clothes away and made the beds and logged on for work.

OH was also WFH again today waiting for that engineer, who never turned up. I wonder if he fixes ovens too @watermelon sugar 🙄

Anyway, it totally ruins my lonesome vibe when someone else is in the house. We sat in silence working for like an hour and then I put some music on and he had to listen to the likes of Robbie, Westlife, Gabrielle etc. Theeeen he was really loud on the phone this afternoon and I put my AirPods in trying to catch up with Shrine of Duty but had to keep pausing as I still couldn’t hear. He’s off back to work tomorrow, see ya pal 👋🏻

Although I did make us bacon bagels for dinner and he said they were really nice 😏

Collected boy this afternoon, he said there was a word in a book at school which was a swear word and he couldn’t say it but it was “Spotted… something” 😂 he didn’t know it was a “swear” word, his friend told him apparently haha.

Just waiting for tea to cook now, boys are having chicken and chips and I’m having leftover bolognese. What a top bloody meal that is. That meme is too true.

Absolutely nothing on TV tonight so I’ll have a bath with my book and hope for a third night of sleep before 11pm 🙌🏻

I'm in a right mood. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things (hence the spoiler tag) but I'm just annoyed.

Edit - actually, you know what? No. I don't need to let it take up any more space in my head. Deleted.

In less ranty news - does anyone have a supermarket delivery that they recommend? My food spending went a bit haywire again when I started to get ill last week (still ending the month in a surplus but not getting to pay the extra off my debt that I wanted to) and I'm considering trying to order online rather than go to the stores where I can be more easily tempted by offers I don't want/need.

Never had a supermarket delivery though so not sure which ones are good/bad in terms of shelf life and service - anyone got any tips?

Hey guys. Nothing to report, I stayed up late last night watching The Handmaid’s Tale as I have work tonight, so I managed to sleep a bit longer this morning (had everything organised for kids, OH did the school run). OH took Littlest to the park while Biggest was at school. There are works taking place in our street so ended up being woken up by the noise and I’ve spent most of the day in a bit of a haze and can’t really be bothered with anything. I’ll have dinner soon and get ready for work (😣). Finally get a weekend off so looking forward to that.

Usual day for me really. A bit of work, a bit of scrolling and a bit more procrastination. I have a killer finance task to do and, as usual, have left it to the last of the month. I reckon it will take me about 3 hours but I've spent far more time thinking about doing it and putting it off. Will I learn? no chance :ROFLMAO:

Dragged the kids out just now. Got one out of her pit and the other off the trampoline. I actually forgot about the BH so have just messaged a few friends to see if they want to do something. Not like me at all really but I'm trying to be more proactive.

@AnderbeauJohnson I use Tesco and it's good. Dates used to be a bit hit and miss but it's fine in my area. If you don't like something (BB date or the look of a steak or something) you can give it back and they refund you. I think they're pretty much the same now tho. Hope you feel a bit better soon btw x

Happy birthday @Saddlesoap ! Have a great day.

I use Ocado or Sainsbury’s @AnderbeauJohnson but I think it’s hit and miss depending on the stores near you. In my previous house Tesco and Asda were better. Give them a whirl and a lot of them have new customer offers sometimes like 20% off first order and the like.

My day has been alright, work/school as usual but got an extra hour to myself as son has after school footie on Thursdays. He came strutting out in his kit happy as Larry so that’s good. Made an easy dinner of ham, fried eggs and potato waffles which I actually really enjoyed. I feel a bit bereft tonight cos I’ve been binge watching LoD all this week and now I’m up to date. Might watch the sewing bee later instead although that’s not as exciting 😂

hi all! 💛 today was my first day out of isolation 🥳

woke up at 7 as my dad was driving mom and sister to work and they stopped here to bring me some stuff. they bought me fresh veggies and strawberries at the farmers market (they live next to it) and mom made me her meatball tomato sauce and baked me my gluten free bread. she's the best. then as i was having my coffee, another knock on the door. my grandma brought me some local lemons and oranges. nice loot today :cool:🍋

got ready and finally got out. bf and i went for a walk to a paint shop. it was lovely to get some fresh air but damn am i tired! i've never experienced fatigue like this, i could barely breathe and had a coughing fit. i just couldn't stop coughing! and then i had difficulties catching my breath, it's quite annoying actually. anyway my bf works as a painter/carpenter so he's at home at that paint shop. we got some things for our balcony project and then walked to our local grocery shop. the butcher told us he was scared we'd moved away as he hadn't seen us in so long 🥺 bought some more things we ran out of and then walked back home. had to do a few quick phone calls when i got home, some for work and some for doctors appointments ☎

then i showered and washed my hair while bf made pasta to have with my mom's sauce. had lunch and worked for a couple of hours. had another couple of phone calls and made a schedule for next week. tomorrow evening my clients arrive here for trials, tasting and inspections. it will be a very full weekend + week. but i'm glad i got all the prep done on time. they are very demanding and i'm already looking forward to the sunday after this one.

when i wrapped work i started baking, as tomorrow morning we're going to our gp and our doctor and nurse have been incredible not only through covid but also through my bad vaccine experience and my bf's problems with his ear. they always go above and beyond, my doctor even gave me her personal email and was sending me emails at 10 pm to remind me to take enough liquids, i mean who does that 🥺 so i've baked a banana bread with chocolate chips & cinnamon, and lemon brownies with a lemon glaze 😻 they are now cooling on the balcony, might take a pic later. we will also buy them flowers on the way tomorrow morning. they deserve it so much! plus i got rid of a lot of bananas and lemons hehe :cool:

i'll probably have some quick dinner soon, tidy up a bit more and then in about an hour my sister is coming over. can't wait to properly sit down and have a chat with her :) we'll probably sit on the balcony and catch up for a bit, and then we'll watch our trashy farming show together, and laugh our asses off. i hope you've all had a nice day and an evening better evening! :love: sorry this ended up being an essay i haven't really been here today 😂

I went to the gym, came home and proceeded to lay on my bed for 2 hours. The bed that I’d stripped before doing my arms at the gym, poor life choices there.

Just had a shower and..you guessed it... done skincare. Now I need to put clean bedding on then have some food! I have a nail appointment tomorrow morning, so excited. Will spend the evening on Pinterest looking for ideas 💅🏻

Hope everyone has a good evening x

so i've baked a banana bread with chocolate chips & cinnamon, and lemon brownies with a lemon glaze 😻
I need all of that

Evening all, I got up nice and early, for coffee and proper fresh orange juice from the cafe near me. Then suddenly was super tired, I so want to give up smoking. It costs me too much.
my ex (the famous ex!) phoned me and we talked for about an hour, I realise I should hate him and there’s no way we will get back together but we do still get on well. So I told him my plans to move to Dubai as I never want him to think it’s for him and he’d actually be useful with helping with red tape stuff etc. Anyway he thinks it will do me good as long as I don’t get arrested..
I went to sort my CV out and my mac was having none of it so tomorrow maybe.. I have a nail app tomoz too @under the ivy so I’ll be on Pinterest too mainly! My grandmother phoned to complain about her meal I made yesterday the cheeky thing! It was actually nice!
@AnderbeauJohnson I use Ocado always super impressed with them.
@watermelon sugar I can’t wait to see the hair!

Hello hello

So the other day I ordered makeup from look fantastic (which I dont usually do as I have no clue about make up) so I'm quite excited! I gets a text at 7.30 this morning saying 'your look fantastic delivery will be here between 8.32 and 12.30....' so im like OoOOoOoooHH. Went and opened the front door in sheer excitement :m

My friend came up from Liverpool today! Was so nice to see him 😊 we had a sit in the garden and the baby wandered round the garden. I got everything ready to go out, baby in pram, my bag ready, locked up. Then looked down and realised I still had my slippers on 😭 imagine the scenes!! Then we had a walk down to the Costa Coffee. He went in and got me a vanilla latte but I'm like 99.5% percent sure it was just a normal latte 😏 we then went into the shops. Has anyone ever been the Range with the weird bleeping lifts? That you have to press and hold the button..? Anyway baby watermelon had a 🚨MELTDOWN🚨 did not like the damn lift. Cried all round the top floor of the range. Childless people were glaring at me, I was glaring at them back. Ended up getting him out the pram and lugging him round. My friend offered to hold the baby down the escalator but I was convinced he was gonna drop him, I eventually let him and watched as they went down 😂

We walked home and it was about 1ish. No parcel? I was fuming, about to bell look fantastic myself and kick off when I actually opened the text and it said 'will be delivered on Friday..' didn't read the full text did I.. woops.. my fault 🤪

We got the baby in the car and drove to mcdonalds 😏 cheeky. Then my friend went and I had a lie down while baby napped. Socialising tires me out x

My fella came back, asked if I wanted some lunch. Broke it to him that I'd had a mcdonalds. Should have seen the scenes. He acted like I just told him I had an affair

Him: what did you have?
Me: a big mac
Him: it sounds like you're describing having sex with another fella 🤣🤣

We went for a walk round the block then we got back and I made risotto for the babies tea. My fella was being v. Passive aggressive all day about my betrayal so I ordered him a mcdonalds while he was at the shop putting the lottery on. I got a triple cheese burger 🤣 today doesn't count on my diet. Treat day hun x
I did a workout this morning so ill let it slide 😏

Man united are playing tonight so won't get much conversation out of him. Might get an early night because the baby had me up for half an hour at 3am this morning 😴

Been trying to get that pesky hair out my chin for 24 hours and got it before as well 🤪 that's a hairless chin for at least a week now, you get me gals x
