I found my passport
Now this might sound like a strange thing, but for work purposes, I usually have it in my workbag, as I regularly need to present id on customer sites.
I last remembered using it when we went on holiday in September, and couldn't find it since.
Had a brainwave tonight to check the jacket I wore home on the flight as it has an inside pocket, and there it was
Happy days 0 -

Nobody warns you about that when you have a boy! I'll never forget the first time little sunny dayz did that to me: I was changing him just before we were being discharged from the hospital, I got such a fright I let out a little scream but it scared him and he started crying!
Yep, a babywipe draped over helps a lot. My guy was about 6 months and he did a big one after a night feed on the changing mat, so he soaked himself right up to the ears and was not a bit happy. But I could see him registering the connection between the sensation and the wee he just did. And he never did it again. Amazing how clever they are even at that age. 0 -

I'm getting my hair cut for the first time in about two years soon. I spent the morning lying in bed thinking about whether I can go for a radical restyle or whether I'll chicken out.
Go radical, it's always fun
Visited my mother tonight on the way home, haven't seen her for a while.
She's moved house and is in post house move stress mode, and adjusting to living on a limited income.
She also suffers from being too proud to ask anything, she was giving out about the state of her extractor fan, which turned out to be she didn't know how to make it work, or use her new grill.
Five minutes later, it was discovered the extractor fan was unplugged and did indeed work, and the relevant set of buttons to press to operate the grill were uncovered.
She's had a lot of expenses moving house, and has a list of stuff she'd like, but can't afford at the moment.
I'm happy to pay for a few (shower door, light fitting to dress up the living room, towel rail, couple of plants), but am worried she'd see it as me lording it over her. She's a terrible thing about money, and honestly believes that people earning a bit more than normal are the devil.
I'm kinda thinking it would be nice to treat her and get to see her a bit more, and see her being comfy as she is getting older.
Do I sound mad as a brush? It's not mad money we are talking, maybe a couple of hundred euro, and I've had a recent bonus waiting to be spent.0 -

God I love IKEA ...
I've suggested a day in B and Q, as some of the stuff she needs is not in IKEA
And B and Q is closer as she lives in the bog, and she's a load of IKEA stuff but some of what she needs is not available in IKEA
And we can stop on the way back for a nice lunch.
She seems on for it, we would have had a very fractious relationship in the past, so attempting now in my forties and her sixties to make an effort 0 -

Got back on the bike today. One word. Ouch. The bits of my undercarriage that I thought were healed were clearly not. Made for an uncomfortable ride!
However, really enjoyed the spin. I fancied hills, so I did a few. Traffic around the Phoenix park was manic today though.
Currently cultivating my cyclists tan!
How was everyone's weekends? I was fairly quiet. Cleaned yesterday - my great aunt lives with us & was recently diagnosed with dementia so we're making things as easy for her as possible in terms of remembering where things are and what is safe!! Cleaning yesterday would suggest there are some issues that need to be resolved but will talk to her medical team.
One funny one though. Was cleaning her bathroom and found a packet of sanitary towels. I was concerned (she's 80, bleeding would be a bad sign!) so I asked her what they were for. I was not expecting the answer I got.
"For keeping my shoes smelling fresh, and they don't go sliding around the shoe because of the sticky part on the back."
Can't fight the logic.
On another note. Pay day on Wednesday. I cannot wait. I have almost drained myself of cash this month. Paid my car insurance off in full. Bought dresses. Bought Lego. Nights out... Gah! Oh also bought some pretty things for my bike 0 -

I'd a lovely weekend.
Went down to my mum yesterday with a spare coffee table we had which she liked.
Then when we were down last Thursday Sen was saying she needed a new extractor fan for her cooker. Turned out it wasn't plugged in and all she needed was a new filter.
So she took it apart and couldn't put it back so I managed to fix that and we went out for dinner.
Then today I'd to resit an exam and thankfully passed 0 -

Definition of lazy.
I'm currently in my office. My phone is currently in the lab. I would like to send a message to a friend of mine via whatsapp, however the thoughts of standing up and walking the approximate 56 steps there and back to send the text, makes me want to cry. So I tried to log in to whatsapp web, however I need my phone to do that.
Maybe I'll just email my friend instead :P
That's not lazy.
Lazy is sitting in front of someone and iming them rather than taking out your headphones and speaking to them to ask "wanna go grab a coffee?"
Myself and the OH are having a very calm evening watching a Cathering Cookson drama Tis very enjoyable and relaxing. 0 -

MwHAHAAHAAAA
If it's not on the same floor I take the lift I blame my dodgy knee, stairs aren't good for it
We have med students in our building. For those that will be charged with the health of the nation in the future, they're fierce lazy. I work on the third floor. Regularly the med students get in on zero and out on one! Or get in at -1 and out on zero. TAKE THE STAIRS! One day last week I went from -3 to 3 and stopped at every single floor on the way. All med students.
I take the lift when Gravity is involved :pac:0 -

A follow up on the laziness:
I was in my office. My bowl was in the lab. My cup was on my desk. My porridge was on my desk.
Rather than walk to the lab, get my bowl, go back to the office, scoop out the porridge, and then go back to the lab to use the microwave, I scooped the porridge into my cup to transport it instead. Yes, I could have carried my porridge into the lab, however that would have necessitated an extra trip back to the office with the porridge as I couldn't carry bowl, cup AND porridge in one go.
Unsure whether to be proud or ashamed. Think I'll go with proud.
You eat in the lab! :eek: Tuttut!
/I never kept icecream in the freezer beside DNA samples....cough/
Do you find yourself looking at famous people of a certain age and wondering if they'll be the next one to pop their clogs?Prince died
That's it, I'm officially done with 2016
(Jurassic Park was on the telly last night and I got worried about Jeff Goldblum...)0 -

Oh God love you with the hand foot and mouth! L had that 3 times (and I got a rake of mouth ulcers the first time). Rotten dose. But well done on the recording deal!The last few days have been a bit mad. My car was almost totalled, still waiting to hear if it's gonna be written off or not. Gingerbread has been very sick with possible hand, foot and mouth and now I've got it. Buuut I got funding to do some recording! Exciting but it means I definitely have to do it now :eek:
It's a very common and relatively harmless disease in young children (it's a virus in the Coxsakie family, which always gives me a giggle!). They get fever, and spots/ulcers around the mouth, hands, feet and bum and are generally off form.Christ Dolbert - that's awful about the car. I know it's a major inconvenience but at the end of the day it's a piece of metal - the most important thing is that you're all okay. How did it happen?
I keep hearing about this hand, foot and mouth thingy but I don't understand it.
And mega, mega congrats on the recording deal. That's superb!
There's no cure, you just have to give lots of paracetamol (for the fever) and TLC.0 -

Or the time I ate in a German restaurant called Kuntz.
All other times in my life I'm mature.

That sounds like an awful dose. Poor babakins (& poor mammy!). Hopefully both make a quick recovery!0 -
