Grab your favourite scran, get ready to tell work to sod off, and come on in and have a chat – it’s Friday!

The weekend is just about here for the office hours crew – if you’re working over the weekend may your work not be full of idiots and your rest days restful.

What’s on for your Friday?

  1. TFIF it’s been a long one. Had to leave early Monday to go to the hospital because a chronic condition that is being diagnosed flared up so I could barely walk and was in even more agony than usual. They gave me painkillers and a report for my consultant, painkillers upset my stomach so couldn’t eat Tuesday or Wednesday but still had to go in as I had meetings I couldn’t miss. 12 hour day yesterday due to an open evening, with various elements of irritation throughout. Today after work I have a consultant appointment due to Mondays situation, where I’m hoping to get a full diagnosis, but also hoping to not get a diagnosis and instead just bury my head in the sand and hope it all goes away!

    Bring on the weekend, youngest has a stinking cold so a good excuse for a quiet one with excessive screen time I think!

  2. Thursday doesn’t even start. It’s Friday. I’m in love.

  3. Still at mums as it’s her birthday party tomorrow.

    Let’s just say there’s a family member I am not looking forward to seeing as he is a conspiracy theory nut. If it’s on a popular podcast or a news channel named after vulpes vulpes, he believes it to be true 100%.

  4. Thursday doesn’t even start. It’s Friday. I’m in love.

  5. I’ve woken up to an email from my car insurance – my renewal quote is lower than quotes I’ve had elsewhere by a couple of £ for the third year in a row. I’ll recheck other companies in a week but definitely not complaining!

    Otherwise my laptop has been stuck loading for the past 5 minutes, which is an almost weekly occurrence. It’s only a couple of months old, but it’s honestly shite. My old laptop I had for 3 years never did any of this.

  6. I’ve been flying solo this week as partner has been away for work, VERY much looking forward to her coming back home. My tuxedo arrived yesterday for our wedding and it’s rad, navy velvet, relaxed fit, so comfy! Shopping for a shirt today. Got to get a hair cut too.

  7. Friday is work from home day. I’ve had a tough week in the office, so I will be doing the bare minimum today. Later, I’ll drop the kid off at the airport. I’m looking forward to visiting her in May

  8. My husband has just gone off with some buds to a stag do in Budapest – it felt like sending children off to summer camp because they had a sleepover last night and were super excited! Was lovely.

    So today will be work, then a nice evening playing Avowed or with lego, followed by a weekend filled with dog walks, seeing a friend and probably more Avowed.

  9. It shitty here today. So im not fancying the pub later.

    I’m feeding the Cayman alligators at Plantasia this week so im looking forward to that. They also have a beaded lizard which made me a little giddy, I’ve never used that word before in my life, when I first saw her.

    I’ll never have either but Crocodiles have always been a favourite since I was little.

    I’d apparently watch them on the ‘Survival’ wildlife show, then have nightmares about them. But absolutely flip my shit if my old mam told me I couldnt watch them next time they were on TV.

    Beaded lizards are a close second.

  10. The weeks seem to be flying by! At least the rugby kicks back off again this weekend. I plan on settling in for it tomorrow and Sunday and politely telling everyone else to leave me alone.

  11. Going to be a long day one Teenager is sick the other is skiving although she has her Volunteer work tonight that she’s looking forward to and it gets her socialising with people in person rather than just through WhatsApp or once a month when she meets up with friends

  12. I am in package delivery limbo. I guess I can’t complain too much because there were delivery options other than ‘at some point Friday’ but I realised after the booking that I need to go buy birthday cake ingredients.

  13. shite night sleep as per usual.

    refused to get out of bed ’till 7:30.

    was on and off awake since at least 4am.

    going try the new cafe that opened the other week downstairs (i live in an upstairs flat)

    heard they do nice cakes etc. so cake for breakfast? 😀

    might get the bus and go the big town over get some socks, hit the charity shops and maybe a few beers, so nothing major today. 🙂

    mainly getting out for the day on the bus as my day ticket i brought a year ago needs using by the end of the month haha

  14. The Sainsburys shop is due any moment now. Will it be slathered in double cream like last time? Tune in to find out

    I have spent what might be considered an obscene amount of money on cricket coaching that starts this weekend, and even in my mid 30s still think I’m the next Kevin Pietersen. Ah.

    Removed the covers off the balcony table and chairs the other day, and even moved the lemon tree outside. The shorts are on, the speed dealers are out and as far as I’m concerned the bastard winter is finally behind us.

  15. Well just heard the UK Eurovision entry… what the hell just happened?

    I know we have given up on it years ago, but like if you’re still going to keep sending acts surely the person deciding should at least watch one show to understand it. Although we did send Englebert Humperdinck not too too long ago

  16. On hold with the DWP for the second time in 24 hours. They answered the phone a lot faster yesterday when I wanted to give them some money back, funny that. Today’s AI is a lot less I and the hold music is a lot more A than yesterday’s call too, it’s almost as if they have more people manning the department that wants to get money out of people than they have in the department designed to help people. Fun… oh, I said that already.

    Got a blood test in a bit, nothing exciting. Just a doctor who didn’t check my history before freaking out and ordering a retest. I got a call about a GP appointment late yesterday, so I shall ask the new (to me) doc about it. Unfortunately, my appointment is going to be at 9am, so I should probably take a cheat sheet with what I want to ask on it. I am not good before 11am, and rarely good after that.

    The first person that answered the phone hung up on me when I asked her to repeat a question. This is going to be a long morning.

  17. Specified to wear shorts today as it’s going to be warm enough, like yesterday. No doubt I’ll get things like “how are you wearing shorts?” from colleagues.

    I’m also wearing Thursday (the band) shirt, so you know some joker will make a “but it’s Friday” comment.

    At least I’ll have the new series of Drive to Survive to watch tonight.

  18. Going to a party with a girl I’m seeing tonight. This lunch time nipping out to see an art exhibition.

  19. Caught up on 2 weeks worth of Reacher last night, pleasant way to spend an evening. Went to bed at a decent time, got more than 7 hours sleep but woke up with really bad brain fog this morning. It’s now swapped to manic energy instead, so it’s going to be a long day today.

  20. Nearly the weekend!

    Been for a swim, now have an annoyingly meeting heavy day of work

  21. That vintage cash cow advert – they just throw all their stuff into a cardboard box without protecting any of it? Are they only getting scrap value?

  22. Blood test and then a day off to spend with the Mrs. Probably a bit of shopping and a nice lunch.

  23. going to crufts tomorrow! so I’m excited! haven’t been in 5 years , last time I went was 2020 weeks before COVID hit!

    today it’s normal work day but I need to phone the pharmacy first and ask if they have the other half of my tablet order 🙄

  24. Just got off the phone with a very nice lady I know. She told me that she was going to have “nachos for tea”.

    Which I think is a sentence has never been uttered anywhere outside of the United Kingdom.

  25. Off to physio shortly to be poked and prodded, and to see if my arse is still ‘substandard’

    :/
