Well, I very much enjoyed Ghost Love Score by Nightwish followed by Head like a Hole by N.I.N this morning.
I hope my neighbours did, too

Haha! Good for you Widders! Might I suggest sticking The Nails on repeat? You can give your lovely foxy hair a good thrash around whilst getting sweet, sweet revenge. ..

I am now gonna play it in the bathroom while I wash my own mass of tangles.

Checking into thread to catch up. Every time I catch up, I want toast and honey. No bread. Will have cream crackers and honey I think.

I think I've a squatter in my house. (4 legged variety) Terrified!

My earphones are broken already. Theyre 2weeksold. Shoddy, Ted

Christ Id love some shenanigans, I do not care what variety. Action, adventure, deadly peril...anything at all.
Listening to "Love me like you do" on violin. Neighbour next to bouncy castle guy has "Stay safe stay home" chalked in huge letters on the road 'side his house, lol.

Still in bed. My little social outing last night worked wonders for me. Gonna have sausage(s) now

Still in bed too, but awake since half 9.

Time to get up for coffee and start the day.

Ah gifted, that's rough. Any way you could get out of there for an hour, maybe bring the kids with you? Clear your head and bit? I feel for you.

Oh stop Leg...I'm terrified it could be a rat!!!

I left the radio on last night downstairs so that whatever it is might think I'm still awake and not come out.

I wanted to get those mouse boxes where they go in and then I could let him away down the fields.

A terrier then.

I don't think it's not the time of year for them to come in. It's very unlikely to be a rat though.

Hardware shops are open Monday so you'll get humane traps there.

I'm not into cats, but I've noticed that they like you more if you show no interest in them. My ex's cat used to love me, possibly because I didn't lavish it with the affection she did, but my family's cat is the same. It won't come close to a lot of family members but will with me.

I just woke up a few minutes ago, was not feeling great around 1am and awake from 4-6am dying with stomach cramps, I only had chips and satay sauce last night but it must of been the reason I was so sick (I'm saving ye from the other symptoms 😂) ,never again.

Yes. With cats you have to use reverse psychology. Ignored someones cat once and within 24 hours it was standing waiting for me to walk withit, climbing all over me and licking my ear. Cats will come when they want, neverwhen theyre told.

Well, here is the hat...



They say that a fool and their money are soon parted. Well I am a fool with a bitching hat.

And two of the dresses..





The white one has a sneaky slit at the side which I like. Was too innocent otherwise.

Now balconyside. Super tired and lazy and reading my Kindle. Was reading back on the thread though. BuileBeag - you mentioned Coffee Angel coffee. Oh - you, and Seph and Mam and ALL the coffee people should try it. They used to have a shop on Aungier St, and then a van around CHQ, and I would visit religiously. Very good coffee.

Sorry to hear about your situation gifted. Not fun. I hope you get out of the not fun part soon.

You know to do the slow blink, yes? Crouch down and blink at them very slowly and pronounced, then quickly look away. People will think you're a nut but cats will think you're an upright, biped cat that's saying 'Alright, mate? ' When they blink back, you've won their trust.

I think cats make a beeline for those who don't like them very much because their body language reads 'I love you ' to cats. It's not about being aloof, just peogle tend to approach them in a way that seems threatening to cats.

You ok?

I’ve been binge watching Modern Family recently. It’s cheery. Or else some Joe Duffy podcasts (it’s not cheery at all generally, but one is hilarious where a lady gets PTS from a shopping trip).

Or maybe bake some bread. Finding the hardest thing is to find something to do, but then you feel much better after doing something!

You can get a plug in yokey that emits a frequency they don't like and they scurry away. (unless you have pets... Not sure if you mentioned a dog before)

Also rasher rinds are a winner for traps.

I'm always slow blinking at them 😸 lucky the tabby is the only cat close by that trusts me 😸

Thank you Duvet. Yep, I am super happy. The red dress was the first thing I found, and you know sometimes shopping just starts off right and then continues. It was one of those days.

The red dress is Hugo Boss. It’s not off the shoulder, but it fits very well. (Now I want it to be off the shoulder ). I was a bit sceptical of the like elasticity stuff at the neck, but it works.

The white dress is a brand called maje. I didn’t know it, other than I saw the hottest shorts and suit combo by them in BTs when I was home for Christmas, but, as I am not a a size 0, I had to abstain. But, again, the dress is a great fit. I would recommend them if you’re shopping online or out and about.

Would never normally spend so much but haven’t bought new stuff in like a year, so I justified it all to myself with a heartfelt fck it.

Edit - it was all bought in an Outlet shopping centre in Germany, but they may have similar in Kildare Village, or else online. Probably out of season or something, but I don’t think I care about that.

It's really nice Fluffy! We'll definitely be buying from them again. Just about to have a latte made with it now actually!

Glad you got rid of Gary Gallbladder. I know from family members how awful gallbladder pain can be.

Oh and I love your white dress.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Love the white dress! Definitely not a cat person, my mam was, loved cats. She had this monster black cat, half cat half elephant. He loved her because she’d heat up his food for him. When he got older he was wilder, would go off for weeks on end and come home the size of a small child so was obviously good at hunting. Anyway, I was excited he came home one evening and picked him up so our faces faced each other, he swung both front legs at my face and buried his nails either side of my nose, under my eye. That was me done with cats.

Back in bed, wrecked. Will put on money heist when everyone’s awake

Currently wolfing down tapas....

Couchside, still not showered, just bought my first online purchase in months, a Charlotte Tilbury lip trio,I've never tried those products previously, I haven't worn a scrap of makeup in 6 weeks but I wanted as a treat (fluffys fault). I hate online shopping, I need to see or try on things in a shop but at least I didn't have to pick a lipstick size lol.

Speaking of size,has anyone tried on their jeans or stood on a scale since lockdown started, I'm thinking that any mental health issues will start for me in the coming weeks, I've never felt better that I have over the last few weeks.

Hmmm. Really happy you guys like the white dress, but also happy that Duvet is going on a spending spree.

I am crap at online shopping. And my jeans are old and I don’t even have to open them to put them on (I have a load of the straight jean leggings things because they are available at the moment, but, I’d love a pair of well fitting flairs.)

But keep feeling well Mrs. Buy more stuff. You deserve it.

I bought a lip duo from them last week. After all the talk of pillow talk, it was disappointing.

Pillow Talk?

Love CT. Not a makeup wearer 'cept mlbb lipstick because a) stops lips sticking together when I havent spoken to a soul all day and nan used to always wear it, she was really polished.

I reckon Mac Velvet Teddy is as good, though, and €10 cheaper. With CT liner.

I bought one thinking it be great to throw everything in, in the morning when. I've energy and it will be tasty by dinnertime. One pot job done.

Every single recipe says braise the meat in a pan before adding it to the pot...... Ah here the reason I bought you was limit the mess.

The pot is still in the wrapper.

If anyone has a link to decent recipes that requires nothing more than bunging in the pot, please direct me

Do a stew. All the recipes say to brown the meat but don't bother about that. Lamb or beef bung it in with spuds ,carrots and onions, stock and s few bay leaves and away you go.
Only thing is they're small enough so I'd only get one meal out of it

I just said yesterday on another thread that I feel 15 years younger. No commuting or rushing in the morning, I get what I'm paid to do done in half the time at home, no bs meetings or initiatives to justify some manager's existence. I'm not waking up tired, not going to bed dreading the morning, no forced lunch break so you can work through and get done earlier.

Working is a mugs game when you take a step back and see the futility of a lot of the nonsense that goes on.

Love the dresses too, I want to go shopping now!
