My worst ever was they happened to be doing the quarterly testing on a day I had to give myself an injection... I struggle at the best of times with jumping when alarms go off, and let's not even talk about self administered stabbie stabbies, but f* me the alarm went off just as I was doing it ... My poor thigh was black and blue for about 3 weeks and I was completely traumatised

@nothing , do what you need to do to help yourself feel a little better .

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you .
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 22-12-2021

Just want to sort the kitchen tomorrow so I can cook on Friday without annoying myself. Have given up on getting any other part of the house sorted

Don't worry about the rest of the house , just do the kitchen .
Believe me , I think a lot of us at some point have just fecked stuff into presses and rooms and closed the doors so no one sees it until we can get to it !
We put too much pressure on ourselves at times .
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Leg End Reject - 22-12-2021
The housework will wait for you @nothing, don't stress about it.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 22-12-2021
That's so true. I haven't the headspace for a full on clean up/tidy up at the moment. Kitchen only will be good enough.

@Mam of 4 You're right about the cleaning. It's something that can wait when we're not feeling our best. I know that sometimes self care can be about having a nice tidy space and the making of it says 'Im worth a clean room/house'.
But I think that the opposite also applies. Self care can be saying 'not today because I need to rest and not worry about cleaning'. And you'll know which is the right approach for you.

Wowser
I went to lidl in Naas and it was grand
Took the car in for a service this morning and was stuck with nothing much to do near some car garages, so I took some new electric cars out for test drives, they're very cool! Don't think we can afford them, even though we do need a new car this year, but it was a fun way to spend the morning

my car is 12 years old, but we don't drive it enough to justify it... But I want one.... But I don't need one... But I want one.
What did you test drive?

I took out the Skoda Enyaq and the VW id4. Both very nice cars, but I definitely preferred the Enyaq. The acceleration is incredible, from standing or at any speed. Both just a really smooth drive. More road noise than I thought, but still very quiet compared to a regular car.
It was a fun morning, but now I'm trying to justify the price to myself... and my wife

That is bonkers!
After all the queuing, you probably wouldn't even get half the stuff you need
Reminds me of queuing for Tesco at the start of corona. queue started all the way outside the car park, then few layers inside the shopping center ground floor. Then I thought once we went up the escalator we'd walk straight into in Tesco. but no, another queuing system outside the front of the store!
I haven't the patience for that.
Stared shopping in Iceland coz they never had any queues. Bought any aul crap that I could lol. & was happy with life not having to queue like that again

The alcohol laws are a pita. You get in to do your shopping early in the morning to beat the crowds but it's all pointless, you have to come back to face the mayhem later in the day anyway because you're not allowed buy any flipping drink.
Flip off whoever came up with the law originally (VFI had a lot to do with it I would guess). When did you ever see hordes of chronic alcoholics descending on shops to stock up on booze first thing in the morning before the law was in place?

I'd actually be afraid to go shopping in that. People get so stressed and cray cray this time of year.
& I don't really understand that queue at all. It's bloody Dublin, there are so many other shops that you can go to without that carry on of queuing like that

Ah jaysus Butty, would you not have been on the ball the last couple of days or weeks and stocked up on the goodies without leaving it til the madness of xmas eve?
I had to go out yesterday and the day before, but I'm not going near a shop today. whatever I have in at the minute, is what i'll be sticking with.

Nope, it's true
I live across the road.. cars were parking on the footpaths in the estate blocking houses n all. Estate management was getting cars towed if they were on the paths or blocking house entrances. Think 4 or 5 cars were towed

Hey all!
I’m obviously Mrs Organised 2021! I went to Asda and M&S last Saturday and stocked up on booze, biccies, the ready made veg, dessert, even bread. Into the freezer they went. I’d ordered the turkey, ham and sausagemeat from the butcher so collected that yesterday.
All I have to do is grab milk and cream in the local spar shop when I do the lotto!

Happy Christmas everyone. Will be a tough one here with Dad gone but the kids will get us all through, they have been brill and an amazing distraction. Funeral was yesterday and he had an amazing send off from the community. My panto castmates did a guard of honour for him which he would have been chuffed about. Mind you he would probably be giving out to us all about all the fuss
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Leg End Reject - 24-12-2021

Thinking of you Necro, kids will see you through for sure!
Still in bed here, need to get up and go up to the butchers, they're open until 2. Have to check if I need anything in the shops while I'm out. Kitchen still needs sorting too. And it's raining. Thankfully everything is only a few mins walk away.
