Right, so it's mid week. Happy hump day and all that, but why aren't you in bed? Neighbours putting their bins out keeping you awake? Kids being little shits? Working the nightshift?

Come on in for a chat.

She hasn't bought a new one yet as she wants the same button combination.

As a bonus, she found one in Currys, took a photo of the price and walked out.

Well, it's a mini version of what it was as it only contains tech and toys - but something to circle for Christmas! 😅

Happy days...😊

What is the one thing that a friend/partner does that if it were anybody else, you would massively judge them for?

207 Upvotes

I have a friend who puts the milk in before the hot water when making a cup of tea and every time I see it, I do lose a little bit of respect for her. I still love her , but I do judge her massively

Was anybody else threatened with "you'll go to the car" as a child, when behaving badly?

47 Upvotes

I mentioned it to friends and nobody else ever experienced it, and a couple were even a bit horrified.

This would have been when we, as a family (with me being a kid in that family) would go to visit grandparents, or other family, or family friends, etc, often some distance from our home and therefore a visit for at least a day, perhaps a few days.

If I, or my brothers, were being particularly badly behaved we would be put in our dad's car, for what felt like hours. I have strong memories of sitting in the car, looking out of the window, and other people playing.

Kind of a timeout/naughty step thing I guess.

I thought this was universal, but apparently not.

I just want you to look at my cat really. Look at his adorable little massive face. His name is Thor, he's my precious baby, and he's an asshole.

Happy National Black Cat Day!

Tracing paper toilet paper

In primary school. My sister in law just reminded me of it and I haven’t thought of it in years. Just why? It was translucent, shiny and in every way possible, the opposite of what you want in toilet paper.

I bought a Feast bar today expecting my all chocolate ice cream and instead got this hazelnut vanilla garbage. Why change something that was perfect??

And yes I know I should have looked at the cover before buying and be paying attention to changes yada yada but I was just going on muscle memory and impulse.

I just wanted frozen chocolate on a rainy day, doesn't feel like a lot to ask for ☹️

Today I took part in a 'customer focus' group discussion blahblah for the local water board. Two cups of tea, half a plate of biscuits to take home, get a wee bit of dosh for doing it, and I got to spend the morning in a lovely old building that smelled of 1986. Smashing.

Clearly the water people are going to ignore anything we had to say, but I got to eat biscuits and sit in a church hall with that old smell that instantly reminded me of being a cub scout and doing gang shows in the '80s.

Can recommend. Keep an eye on your emails for invites to do that sort of thing; I've had a couple of invites before but ignored them 'cos I didn't realise you got paid.
