We are currently looking at airbnb. My son has emailed them back saying he was unaware that alternative accommodation was not available for the 6 weeks. He has looked back through all his emails and nothing was mentioned.

I'm afraid my OH couldn't remember where he found his accommodation - he always forgets things he won't need again.

There is a website called sparerooms.co.uk I found with a quick Internet search, presumably there are others too. Airbnb must be quite expensive for 6 weeks. Or perhaps AidaB could put a 'room wanted' postcard in some local shops for you...

My son is looking into all sorts of places and he has discounted airbnb because of the cost. His friend who has his old room in Leamington Spa said he could bunk down on the floor for 6 weeks but it all depends when she actually moves in to his room. He also has a few other ideas in his head. But that is a very good suggestion.
 
Woke up this morning at 2.30 with a banging head and unable to breathe. I have bad hayfever. My nose was running and I couldn't get back to sleep. I feel sick too. I have bad wind and can't stop burping which is making me feel sick. Today won't be a good day as I'm tired so therefore irritable. I've been awake since 2.30. I'll try and have a kip later on today. My head has finally started to clear.
 
The company that is mangaing one of brothers debts has rang the house phone 7 times over the last 3 days - early morning and last thing. I answered to a snotty woman yesterday who demanded I write their phone number down and opening times for next 3 days and "pass it on". Brother is adamant he spoke to someone yesterday morning but don't know whether he has or is lying. Someone rang again this morning and I hung up after saying stop harassing us and harass him on his mobile number!

I've developer one of those crater like volcano spots near my mouth. Caught it this morning and now struggling to cover it with concealer and powder.
 
This is not a massive deal or anything but I got a text this morning saying my parcel was due for delivery tomorrow morning. Half of me grumbled because, shock horror, I'd need to be awake, part of me figured it for a scam because I didn't recognise the parcel details.

Several hours later I've had an epiphany. It was definitely a text from Royal Mail because it has previous texts from them in the conversation and it wasn't asking me for money. But also I'd ordered something from a dropshipper in China a couple weeks back and although the tracking claims it's still in China, the tracking for dropshipping can be notoriously unreliable.

So I'll still need to be awake but at least it's not for nothing! At least I now know it's definitely going to turn up.

As it's not asking you for money or to click on a link, it's probably legit, and I hope the package arrives when they say it will.

...BUT I'm pretty sure that scammers can spoof numbers so that they appear in threads by the genuine delivery companies, so don't rely on a message's presence in a genuine thread for proof of its truthfulness ...

oh, definitely, but the shortcode Royal Mail use isn't even visible, it just shows "Royal Mail".

That's harder to spoof. Plus I've never used the links anyway lol, the parcel's always turned up when they said it would. Normally I have a tracking number and I use that on the PC instead, I hate looking this stuff up on my phone, but the tracking info from the dropshipper claims it's still in China so that's a bit harder this time lol.
 
Been to the doctors for a review on one of my new meds I have for anxiety. He's increased the dose and says I'm suffering from stress just to add to everything else. Who would have thought it! It also looks like I need to make an awkward phone call to my vets who actually haven't been as incompetent as I originally thought and now I feel guilty :(

Had to stick someone in prison as worrying some of these dodgy pee stains I’m finding aren’t all from poorly Lolo 🤦‍♀️ Currently worrying as it does look a bit pink but he did have dried beetroot yesterday 🤦‍♀️ Going to see what this paper towel of Gigi pee looks like later and try again in the morning but might be a vet visit and a pee test! (I might just be paranoid but best to check!)
Wish this lot would give me a rest! 🙄😆

I hope it's just the beetroot @alpacasqueak I have been caught out by that one in the past!

Thank you! Me too, it’s one of the things he’s been quite enjoying a few times a week on his breakfast oats when he went funny with food after the abscess op so could just be that but not convinced! Typically Lolo’s having funny pee too just to confuse my squished brain atm! :))
I’ve not seen any straining or him fussed peeing though so 🤞 These beasts are draining my bank balance well at the moment!

Hopefully it’s the beetroot. I have a story about my Aunty Betty and a beetroot/pee panic! Not you @bosshog - the real Aunty Betty!
 
Thanks @Ruth1 :) Glad Aunty Betty was ok and just the beetroot!
I think we might be ok, looking a lot more like normal oxidised pee now but he had me worried there! Especially as he’s such a bony bum after his op. (The joys of being a piggy owner, staring at pee and stressing at 2am! 😆)
May still pop him out and check again just to be sure, and I’ll keep a close eye on him as always. Definitely not acting sore with the way he’s been trying to hump poorly Lolo since yesterday morning anyway the little bugger! 😈🙄 (Gentleman Gigi never lasts long! XD)

Thanks @Claire W, aren’t they just! Hope Edward is doing well :) xx

Thank you. Wiebke is doing an amazing job with him. He’s munching soft hay, grass and nuggets so she’s only having to top him up with syringe feed. He’s nothing like the sickly boy he was here on Monday and Tuesday. I’m just worried what Simon will find xx
 
Primark Meadowhall.... the worlds biggest jumble sale! Had no cycle shorts either.
 
Lorcan said:
Primark is pronounced differently in England and Northern Ireland, and somehow I use the Northern Irish version in England and the English version in Northern Ireland. Every single time, lol.

Preeeeeeeemark! 🤣🤣

We’ll be thankful you can wear cycling shorts! I never had the knees 🤣🤣

I don't have the legs! I just wanted a cream/white pair to wear under a dress to save my legs... annoyed as my local primark had black ones in and I didn't get any.

Ah now cycling shorts UNDER a dress - that I could also do! I must admit to visiting M&S for a pair of those jockey type BIIIIIIIG pants! They are great, so long as it’s a long dress and you don’t see them when you bend over - not good for street cred! (I hope my big pants are our little secret!) 🤣🤣

Cycling shorts remind me of primary school PE so because of that I have avoided them for years 😂 I saw some anti-chafing shorts in New Look, priced at £10 they can stay there! A friend said try cycling shorts so here we are.... I guess I can wear them for gardening/painting the fence too.

I unintentionally drank an ant that had crawled into my Coke. On the same day, and I don't remember which came first, I also vaped an ant that had crawled into the chimney of my tank. There were lots of unrepeatable words spoken that day.

Edit: and in unrelated news, July's Openreach engineer visit is booked for Tuesday morning, and my shoulder needs to click and it won't. Stupid shoulder.
 
Just had to fill out our International travel forms for travelling to Cape Verde in two weeks time. There are 6 of us going (me, hub, my parents and in laws) so I had to do 6 travel forms. So stressful and now I’m worrying that I’ve put the wrong details and am doubting myself 😞

I’m sure you did just fine. Is there any way for them to be checked by another member of your party? If not, I’m sure you did good.
 
Something happened at my child's ABA school today as I got two emails about changes in staff. Actually three emails if you count the one from Wednesday too. They can't tell me what happened, but we have been noticing behavior issues with him like refusing to get out of the car to go to school. He also has been alot more clingy to me. I wish I knew what happened!
