[Gusto Brunt]

Oh how fab. I had a blonde wig once. I didn't like it so much in the end as I have very dark eyebrows

Blonde hair and dark eyebrows all the rage in the 1950s.

[Kate!]

Grocery shopping. Going out for a Carvery lunch in a minute xx

[Jessica.]

Up at 7, breakfast, housework, still haven't gotten ready for the day but hoping to go out and get some new shoes.

[Kate!]

Got back from the pub mid afternoon.

Spent some time on here doing a task for tibb BB.

Currently watching Corrie, and preparing for BB and Late and Live.

[Beso]

Showed my used nose wax buds to anyone silly enough to look.

Called in sick, blinked and the day flashed by. And I watched another Menendez documentary. Free them!

[Jessica.]

Up at 7, had a coffee, loaded the dishwasher, made waffles for my family, sent some emails, did some housework and now I'm watching BBLL from last night. Hoping for a break in the rain so I can pop out to the pharmacy.

I sure did, I got a really good deal and I love them!

[Kate!]

Got up really early, got the housework out of the way. Ironing, yuk! Went into town to run a few errands, including a trip to the Post Office. Chilled this afternoon. Just cooked us a mixed grill, early tea. Gammon, steak, pork chop, bacon amd sausages.

[Kate!]

I sure did, I got a really good deal and I love them!

Great Jess. We love a bargain hunting Queen.

Took the dog out, read a book now waiting to go to a Gig.

[Jessica.]

I used to get sick with it about twice a year but haven't had it since before covid. I've thought about getting mine out too!

Yes it was terrible. Ryan Murphy took too many liberties. I had to cross reference with facts. These boys break my heart

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

…is that the Netflix documentary’s that you’re watching, Ceecee…?…I haven’t got round to watching that yet after the drama series …

Evening, Ammi.

I watched the documentary yes. That was after watching Monsters. Monsters was over the top. I would not recommend that someone watches that alone. Def need to watch something else after monsters so I am glad that Netflix did that by adding real life docs

[Ammi]

…I’m definitely going to catch up with the documentary, I just haven’t got round to it yet…I have to say that I wasn’t aware of the brothers or their story before the drama so at least it’s highlighted their case but yes….i feel that they were very badly represented and none of their abuse was allowed to be mentioned in court in the second trial..

It's true. A lot of the evidence was not included in the second trial.


Their case was a bit of a trial by media type. The media portrayed them as money hungry kids who killed their parents for money. I didn't follow it in real time but when I heard about them growing up that was the version I believed. So sad that at the time abuse of boys wasn't considered to be serious. If they had been tried now, they def would not have gotten life.

…I won’t get a chance to watch the documentary before the weekend or early next week but I’m interested in seeing how much of the dramatised version is completely false and sensationalised for effect rather than truth…

[Kate!]

I've just voted x 5 to get Dean out.

Job done.

Not much. We had to put my oldest pup down several days ago. It was not a shock she was sick as she is within that age range and some signs I was noticing, but shocking considering how quick it all happened. She had laid down after coming home with us and didn't want to move. Breathing was elevated and when I checked gums, they were white, so dangerously anemic and blood loss somewhere. They did ultrasound and found apparent hermangiosarcoma (a very aggressive blood vessel cancer) which had done massive damage already to her spleen, possibly liver, the sac around her heart had fluid likely from the spread and between that and fluid in lungs (+blood loss) making it very difficult to get oxygen. The spleen tumor ruptured into her adomen which caused anemia and it's almost impossible to catch on screens with the quickness of it. She was so critical that hospice/EU at home wasn't an option.

The blessing is she lived her last days perfectly fine with her happy family, playing normally, rushing after squirrels, eating well. Most of her signs could have been just as easily age, but some I knew well enough were signaling the end was nearer than not. In fact this week I meant to take her in early for her annual to do major bloodwork. I am having a harder time than I thought I would ever have being with illness I am typically very logical, but I guess seeing as she was a special needs baby in her own way.. highly neurotic and major separation anxiety.. and was such a huge part of our happy lives, I am having a hard time. Even the home we chose to live in was partially to cater to her unique needs. A big yard to play in which feels so empty without her. Her end was so very peaceful and it is everything we wished for her, that she did not have to endure stressful medical hospice or extensive separation/vet anxiety, but it just feels like so much is missing from our lives... even if I was mentally prepared, I certainly wasn't ready.

Thanks everyone. I just needed to "get it out". I went out this morning with little one and my pup's little brother for a family walk and then to shops. It helped. Our weather is 100% clear and it hasn't been in while. The passing/developing hurricane took all our clouds away...

Hope everyone else has had a good day :love: It's still midday here.

[Jessica.]

Up at 9, did some housework, had breakfast, got ready for the day, went out to buy kitty litter and picked up a new buggy too, saw my MIL, had a croissant in the shopping centre, transferred some pictures to my PC from my camera, chatted with my family in Ireland, cooked a meal.

[Cherie]

aw Maru, so sorry, your pup was blessed to have you

[Ray.]

Broke up with someone because I didn't love them as much as they love me and I wasn't 100% I even loved them romantically at all. This was after rushing into a very short lived relationship because I was scared of them walking out of my life completely. Rightly felt like the worst and most selfish person on the face of the planet and confirmed to myself that I am in fact awful. The only thing I have to cling onto now is the hope that I'm not completely irredeemable. And all that before 7.30 in the morning.

…:hug:…that’s tough, it’s not an easy thing to do but continuing the relationship would have deepened those feelings that they have but it could never have any feel good to know someone that you care about is emotionally bruised and you feel responsibility for that…?…but you’re not responsible for someone else’s feeling being more or stronger than yours….you can only act on what you yourself feels right and to continue something that didn’t feel right, somehow…?…would have left you not feeling great with yourself, wouldn’t it…I think that it’s just sadly one of those situations that just isn’t great in that there will be hurt involved but it’s unavoidable and sometimes it just is…?…we try, it doesn’t work and we have to say goodbye because that’s also the only thing that will enable that other person to heal and move forward…?…

…you are not in fact awful, not even slightly so…you’ve done something that you felt was essential to do…(…for both of you…)…and you feel bad and low about it because you’re the furthest thing from awful…:hug:…

I lost my grandfather the other day, so my OH has taken me down to Tenby to hike around the Pembrokeshire coast for the weekend so I can recompose myself.

He prepared a charcuterie board and port for tonight too as he knows it’s one of my fave meals. He’s honestly such a gem for that.

You’re not awful, you’re human. And it will feel like you’re the worst person in the world ending it, but if you know it’s not right, ending it sooner rather than later is better for both you. Hope you’re ok.

Lovely day here today and yesterday it poured down so the earth was just perfect for bulb planting

hopefully in the Spring we will have an array of snowdrops, crocus, daffs, tulips and bluebells if the pesky squirrels leave them in the ground

[Beso]

Played a round of golf. Hit 39 for the front nine, then 43 for the back nine. I should have gone under 80 today, 2 chip ins from inside 20 feet helped.

Cant be bothered to look up my golfing thread, so this will do in here.

Day off, but have a team meeting later so took a laptop home

Lots of builders here today. Just watching TV and will workout/go gym later.

Currently drinking strong coffee and vaping

I speak English with my partner and baby and then Portuguese with the in-law's, neighbours and everyone else but obviously I spend way more time with my family so I speak English more frequently

….ahhhh, and as little baby grows and through their peers at nursery and school etc, they themselves speak Portuguese more and more often, so they’ll also become your teacher as you are theirs with English…it’s a lovely thing to have multiple language skills, isn’t it…

Tidied up the garden, laundry, cleaned the house. About to clean the bathroom and put fresh sheets on the bed. Pretty cruisey day.

Early morning laundry, like Ben...then went to a street market after breakfast. Spent a while on my Tibb BB campaign. Cooked tea, washed up. Now chilling watching Alan Carr, Strictly up next. I miss Big Brother on a Saturday night.

Watching the football scores for all the early games today. Was going to win 220 pound if all games held, going into extra time. Oxford equalizer against west Brom in the 2nd minute of extra time. Luckily for me, I was watching my cashout at the same time, and took 195 on the 90 minute mark like a true boss.

There was a bake sale around the corner so went and spent a few pounds, went to the garden centre and bought some veg and ordered a homemade Christmas cake as a pressie, this garden centre literally has everything, a little van at the end that sells the most delicious home made food and he does cakes and puddings ...yah went to the butchers, went to Pets at Home and bought Tilly a reflective coat for the upcoming dark evenings, tried it on and it fits perfectly, went to Sainburys, took Tilly for a walk, made dinner, loaded the dishwash, watched a bit of footie, did my BB stuff, I swear Mr C has been sat on his ass all day :oh:

[Jessica.]

Household duties,
Caught up on Taskmaster,
Went out to do the shopping at two different supermarkets - I love the LIDL Plus app, we got free peas from it today

[Cherie]

Oh and we bought a new car this morning but that was at 9am so it seems like a long time ago :fist:

[Glenn.]

Just been to work today. Miserable day

[Kate!]

Went grocery shopping first thing then on to B and Q. Bought a nice plant.

Early lunch, some housework including a spot of ironing. Gave a mini speech in Tibb BB with Benjamin Nicky and Cherie. Currently just finished watching the Strictly Results and now it's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Can't wait for tonight's BB.

[Jessica.]

Up at six, had a busy morning at home, made lunch to bring to the in-law's, went over and stayed all day, came home and ate a couple of chocolate biscuits, put a computer game updating to hopefully play with my partner this evening.

Ooh nice. What car did you buy? I’m going to view a car next weekend. It’s a long old drive to get there tho, it’s 3 hours away.

We had a Hyundai Tuscon but are going for a Hyundai Bayon automatic as my younger son is taking lessons in an automatic and I believe all new cars will be automatic by 2029 so we thought we may as well get in on it, I had a little test drive and it was fine probably wonder why we ever drove a manual in 6 months time :laugh:


also the Tuscon was incredibly expensive to drive

[Jessica.]

Our car is automatic too, it's brilliant, we got it last year.

Oh nice. Every car I’ve ever owned has been manual and the one I’m going to view is an automatic. It’s gonna take me some getting used to if I buy it. :laugh:

[bots]

to get proper cruise control and all the other fancy gadgets, you really have to go automatic. My automatic has paddles so you can change up and down gears like a manual if you want

Yh I was talking to a friend in work earlier and she said she’d never go back to a manual after she bought her new car a couple months ago.

You just pick up certain habits when you drive a manual car (well I did anyways :laugh:)

Had a day off for thw bank holiday so went golfing again. 1st hole is a par 5. Very windy conditions.

I hit a great drive, 5ft from the out of bounds post just before the 2nd horse jump(you can see exactly where on tv when Kelso races are in ITV) 2 racecourse workers were checking the jump about 20 years In front of me which made me wary for my 2nd shot, but not as much as the out of bounds post directly in my line 5ft away(the actual racecourse part of the racecourse is out of bounds) so I yanked the 3 ft post out the ground and pulled out my 3 wood. Hit a perfect shot, held straight in the wind and landed on the green running out to 10 inches from the hole. Simple tap in for am eagle 3.

Seemingly though, it dont count, cause I removed the post, which is classed as an unmovable object.

I'm taking it though, still cant be arsed to look up my golfing thread so here will do again..

1st ever par 5 eagle, and best shot ever, with witnesses.

[Adamw92]

Just to work and back. Too tired to do anything else.

In bed still, I'm going to get up soon my brother and his wife and 2 kids are visiting today and staying the night (they live in Galway which is a 3 and half hour drive from here) so need to give the place a hoover and a spruce

aw that horrible when you feel you have just got over something and then get another bug, dont put too much pressure on yourself, if the pumpkin remains intact draw a face on it, baby wont mind and you can still take some nice photos of his first Halloween, I think as new Mums we all put pressure on ourselves to give our newborns great experiences, but looking back all they wanted was to sleep, eat and have a cuddle x

We got sick in large gatherings of people, first time was at a birthday party and this time at a family get together. Baby's auntie was sick at the weekend and didn't tell us before we drove all that way and other auntie started feeling sick on the day after having loads of contact with the baby. :sad:

Thank you! I know it's not that big of a deal if I don't get it carved beautifully and the baby won't miss out but I've been looking forward to it for ages and he's nearly nine months old so he loves seeing new things and making a mess, I think playing with the innards would be so much fun for him. :joker:

Went to the cenotaph as usual, met my late husbands friends for breakfast, lovely to see them all. We used to meet for lunch but I think they're better just being together after the ceremony, have some drinks, a lot probably, swing the lap and pull up a sandbag, kind of thing. Moving and poignant as always.

I wish I could join you in such lovely winter shopping :love:. I miss that about living on the NE coast. We can't really justify it with the weather here most years. It's 21C outside (10:30p), but humidity is very high, so it feels pretty warm actually. I still run the AC :spin: We have maybe 24 hours of freezing temps per year, if that. But I used to love wearing leggings and all my fuzzy wear and layering up with knits, scarfs, etc. I feel like I was more in my element fashion-wise, but yeah, I also like being really warm that much so...

[Maru]

Today I went rug shopping for day 2. Finished that up (for now) and then worked on finishing up on last bits of Christmas shopping online that have been sitting in a list, but just not ordered...

Well good luck with the job applications !

Reading is overrated ( I’m dyslexic lol)

Listening to ClassicFM or BBC Radio 3 ( also classical music ) if you are trying to chill / relax

Or listen to chat shows like TalkSport ( footie) or LBC ( general chat)

Cruisey vibes today. Did a bit of gardening and laundry early on. Then spent the rest of day enjoying the sun in the garden. It’s a really nice day. Even had a little nap outside.

Guess the good weather made people think twice :laugh:

Anyway twisted stomach muscle confirmed…ice/ rest/paracetamol and Ibroprofen and it’s starting to ease…:cheer2:

Today we spent a lot of hours in the garden, watched some trashy TV and now I am in bed with Tilly at my feet

Took Tilly for a walk earlier and I had to pop into the petrol station to get something, dont like leaving her outside so asked the guy who is usually behind the counter who was out cleaning to keep an eye on her, came out he was standing watching her and a car had pulled up beside her and the lady passenger was petting her, so she was in her element

Spent the day in South end :dance:
