You when you think - I’ll make the bed later, I’ll do that when we get back from the airport, everyone’s hungry we’ll just nip out for a quick chat with mates and some food??

Yeah, got back just now - still gotta make the sodding bed 🙄🙄🙄

Sitting in a telephone queue for doctors appointment at no 56... call back engaged. Last time it took 2 hours and no appointments available, yet again. I don't have enough time to hang around for calls. Taking the woof to the groomers as she is a shaggy beast and needs to be trimmed nicely, usual seven week appointment. Have a lie in (my day off today) and perhaps attend a tea later on if I feel like talking to people (unlikely). Look after daughter.

One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

It's not 'unmade', it's 'airing'.

Wishing I was done with work for the year. I'm really feeling the need for a proper break, ideally never going back 😆

Same. Do you also get those days when everybody in your close proximity at work seems to be extra fucking annoying? I do, I'm having one now. :x

Somebody just described themselves as burnt out. I think that sums it up nicely.

Meanwhile I'm about to go into an SLT. This fucking week. FFS. I may go Falling Down. 🤣

As someone who took early retirement coming up to 2 years back,Supermarket trucking was peak stress,no holidays & minimum rest from early Dec to mid Jan,I've not missed the place for one minute & can relate to the 'Burnt out' comments.
Today Cal Mac published some of their Summer timetables so I'm starting to plan my tour for a couple of weeks in April/May :thumbup:

The stove and my hands are the colour of a Jag advert, it might not be as surprising as I had hoped

Just got banned from a facebook Wild Swimming page. No one could tell me what was wild about it as it was just called swimming by non pretentious folk. Last straw was telling them i am away for a Wild Walk to ALDI for some milk. I only joined 10 minutes earlier :lol: :lol: :lol:
