My mum just text me asking if the carton of cream I gave her to take home Xmas day will still be good how the heck would I know?!

I swear it feels like I'm the parent sometimes lol

Sounds like my mum who phoned me from Asda’s today asking if the sandwich she wanted to buy for lunch would be ok as the use by date was today :rolleyes:

Tell her to read the pot, and give it a sniff?

I did lol
She said "Oh I just noticed the use by is 100120 which must mean 10th Jan."
"Yes mum the 10th Jan hasnt happened yet."
"There is only a little left, I'll have ice cream instead"

Told her to check what carton says for after opening. She said earlier she has had to throw the turkey out. The turkey that was cooked a week ago.

@robfosters glad it's not just me lol

Just watched Altered Carbon on Netflix after looking for a dystopian alternative future film or series to watch, and it was excellent, best series I have watched in a very long time, and a lot of things in there which are very similar to things I had dreamed up myself for when I hope to write a book on that theme one of these days.

God I hate inter work politics...

I'm getting fed up of one particular worker, bit of a backstory hes got the manager wrapped around his finger.

All of his children are in university but he still books every half term off. So me and the other technician have to go halfsises on the half term. So this year I get one halfterm due to this **** and my on call rota.⁷.

The worst thing is he doesn't actually go anywhere, he just sits in the house doing **** all.

So far hes booked both weeks in easter, despite being on call for one. Hes booked the October November week and two weeks in December.

Oh and he books them at 12.01 am on the first of January, so no one can get them before him.

Watched Star Wars in a Cinema, turned on Craig David, turned over Craig David, listened to Ok Lang sine (however it's spelt)

Going to bed

Auld lang syne. I hate the song, but it's definitely not OK lang sine!

Stayed up far too late because I had to finish 'Don't **** With Cats' and I'm suffering today because of it

Anyone else seem to sleep terribly after a decent amount of time off work?

I'm not particularly dreading work and it's been an easy 2 days as everyone is still off till Monday but i slept like crap last night

Yep, totally lost the ability to handle early mornings. Just feel like death even though work is super relaxed.

Oh well, weekend soon!

I drop off To sleep almost instantly but wake early hours, always done this

secretspy · 3 Jan 2020 at 13:31

I haven't slept well in years

can't wait for the day I can get a new mattress and hopefully see some improvement

Just started watching The Witcher. Only a few mins in and I already love Mr Cavill but dang even with his "creepy/vampire like/evil" eyes he still looks hot

If it's an issue, you take it up with management and show where you've worked the previous holidays because you've been unable to book them

Sounds like the type of **** that gets up early to leave beach towels on pool furniture at the hotel.

He booked them before you. Not a lot you can do. Book yours and see if they are approved.

I’ve got a really comfy mattress, you should try it

Chinese for tea I think, can try my new chopsticks too.

Well, I enjoyed the Tutankhamun exhibit and my mum seemed fascinated with the concept of Uber

and we managed to get to the train station, buy some lunch and catch the earlier train meaning I can stop into the shops on the way back #winning :cool:

There is a cute little girl on the train, dressed in lovely winter clothes not tracksuits like I often see. She's been telling her mum off for dropping food and talking with her mouth open whilst eating

I'm so broody :eek:

Captain · 6 Jan 2020 at 05:10

Lay awake all night, got into bed at 10pm and couldn’t sleep, ended up checking my phone every half hour and got up at half 4 as I was bored.

I managed to trip over a kerb last night and have bruised/cracked my ribs. I can just about sit upright without feeling it too much but getting up/down is excruciating and I can't lie down at all. How the **** I'm going to get any sleep in the new few weeks I don't know. I'm feeling delirious just from staying up one night already.
