Yeah I've decided to look at it as a colour whole: Purple threads? Purple pile. Red and blue threads that make it look purple at a distance? Also purple pile. It's easier and yet I feel like I'm trying to make it more complicated for myself. Braid piles, a vape and Doctor Who. But I do feel better, it's amazing what a distraction will do.
 
Oh it really is - if I’m overwhelmed and panicky I use distraction …..it’s usually a film , a book or a good album.
Or I sit outside with a cuppa.
 
I have concentration issues trying to just watch something, it takes a lot of mental effort to watch new things. So instead I watch old things in the background (like old Doctor Who episodes. I'm at the start of 10's last season lol)

We have all the Doctor Who episodes ever put on DVD and I find a duvet day with a whole series I've seen before amazing therapy- it keeps your brain entertained, but you can nap through an hour and skip any annoying bits and in my case hide under the duvet/under a guinea pig if the cybermen turn up, great rainy day distraction :)

Skipping through the cringy parts where Rose and Martha are so madly in love with the Doctor and terrible at hiding it, lol, that's me.
 
Really annoyed right now. I just picked my son up from school and he had a BIG accident. I have told them to throw away the underwear as it is very gross by the time it comes home when it is a #2 accident. Well, he had a #2 accident and they sent it all home.....shirt, pants, underwear,.....and the #2. :vom: I gagged the whole way home as it had been sealed in a bag in warm weather. I tossed it once home.
 
I’m so sorry - what on earth made them think it’s ok to do that. Common sense would mean throwing it away after your instructions. Your poor boy ….. I hope you’re both ok now you’re home.

They had it in a bag thankfully not on him. It is the policy of the place to not toss the #2 and just send everything home as is. The people that work with him on a regular basis know that I'm fine with them throwing away the underwear. He hasn't had many accidents at school as of late so the potty training regimen is working much better now.
 
Our fridge freezer broke tonight! 🤬🤬 It started beeping and the freezer is constantly defrosting. I noticed this afternoon that when I got an ice cream cone, it was soft, but I didn't really take any much issue with it. And now the freezer keeps on beeping and the temp won't go back to it's normal freezing point. Good thing we have a separate chest freezer so I managed to put all the frozen meat and more expensive stuff in there. All the frozen veggies, pizzas, bread and ice cream though will be wasted. 😔😔

Ouch, I know how much that hurts. Had to have mine replaced in the heatwave (lol right) and there was stuff that would defrost despite my best efforts. It might have survived in the cellar but I wasn't going down to find out.

Yeah..hubby just bought a new one for £450 from Argos. 😭 What an unnecessary spending, but we can't not have a replacement. All the cheaper ones are out of stock too, so had to cough out more money. :hb: It will be delivered on Wednesday. Good thing we bought a small chest freezer when the pandemic started to stock up more food that time. At least we managed to put more than half of the frozen food in there.
 
Well done hubby on getting a replacement. Fridge freezers can be expensive.
I have a 16 year old one and I don’t know whether I should just replace it or wait for it to break ! Dilemma

Well most of the frozen stuff are his chicken! He wouldn't want to waste that! 😂

Our fridge is probably the same age as yours. Apart from some little broken corners of the plastic boxes and such, it was all totally fine...until last night. 😣
 
Vets who won't listen!

Meg hasn't been right since she came back from the Boarders on Saturday. I weighed her on Sunday morning and she was the same weight as she was before she went. Meg has been sat in her hay tray or tunnel most of the time, doesn't seem to have the energy to move much, isn't eating her pellets or much veg, has stopped asking for her Metacam, lets me pick her up (she always runs away), is wobbly when she walks, has lost around 50g since I weighed her on Sunday, feels cold and this afternoon had clicky breathing. She's impossible to syringe feed so I've been leaving some SS Recovery plus with oats in the run/hutch she can help herself. I have given her a snugglesafe which she's been sat on.

I took her to see a vet this afternoon that I hadn't seen before at the Vet Surgery I've used since I moved down here as the Cavy Savvy vets weren't available. He wouldn't listen to anything I said, roughly handled poor Meggypops, said that she was on a far too high a dose of Metacam (0.3ml dog Metacam prescribed by Kim) and that high dose was "very dangerous" for her as the only animal that can tolerate such a high dose of Metacam is rabbits. Said her heart was fine (Kim said she had a heart murmur), gave her a clean bill of health and sent us on our way.

So all in all a very unsatisfactory vet visit and a traumatised Meg!
 
Proper mixed bag of a day...

- Wanted to make Millionaires Flapjacks. Made flapjack first...it looked fab.

- Started on the caramel...realised the non-stick coating on the saucepan was coming off. Caramel in the bin and then the flapjack followed as it'd been made in the same saucepan. Ingredients are so pricey at the moment I might as well have chucked a tenner in the bin and saved myself the hassle 🤦

- Moved onto a little resin casting. The main item I wanted to make seems to be ok. The 'use up the leftover resin' coaster looks pretty cool too. Yay.

- Had a complete brain fart and chucked the used resin stuff in the sink and started washing it. You can't do that. It just goes sticky and horrible. Husband had to rescue me with various alcohol and solvents as my hands and the sink were a sticky mess. Managed to salvage 2 mixing jugs but the other 4 have gone into the bin with the flapjack and the caramel.

- Made some bread. It looks decent and I think it sounded hollow when I took it out the oven. The way my day is going though, I'll cut into it and it'll probably be raw! 🤦

Sigh.
 
Oh gosh I’m sorry CV26 - some days are like that aren’t they ……keep smiling and I’m sure the bread will be delish 😂

I’m sorry you’ve had such a bad day. Have a glass of wine and relax. Tomorrow is another day x
 
Not the worst day going, just an irritating one. I should be eating Millionaires Flapjacks and instead the house smells like white spirit 😂🤦
 
My thought process covering the past 10 minutes:
"Hmm I hear a fly."
"Huh it's noisy. Stuck the wrong side of the window."
"That's really noisy."
"Sounds cranky almost."
"Where is the stupid thing?"
"That...doesn't sound like a fly."
"Has to be a fly."
"...that's not a fly."

Wasp. It was a wasp. In my bedroom.
 
We are having an outing to the theatre for an Abba tribute band. First I bougt small size tights and think I need medium. They are starting to bug me already. One time of day I would have had a few drinks and taken them off but thats not an option tonight. I feel fat and bloated in my dress (a morrisons nutmeg one I took a liking to last week) even though its a loose fitting one. I've put a bit of make up on and hoping it sticks to my face!
 
We women are frequently our own worst critics/enemies, especially where looks are concerned. I gave up worrying what other people think about my clothes years ago, so long as they are comfortable etc that's all that matters. Enjoy the show, that's what it's all about - it sounds fun

I’d rather have a spider over a wasp anyway 😂
Did you get it out ?

Well I'd seen it (eventually) buzzing around the blinds so I very, very gingerly opened them (and managed to pull the pull cord off so I had to put that back later but by the time I had them right open, I couldn't see it and more importantly I couldn't hear it. So I took a gamble that it left and closed the window lol, only opening it up again later when the vape fog was annoying me.

Either it got itself out the window or it died and is somewhere on the windowsill. The windowsill's behind a bookcase, so if it's dead there it can stay there. I'm not risking a sting even from a dead wasp, I'd prefer not to risk a bad reaction again.
