Phew. Bed was far too cosy this morning. Really had to drag myself out.
How's it hanging? Powering through your Friday and then partying the night away? Taken the day off to do some sneaky Christmas shopping?
Whatever you're up to, come and have a natter.

Two weeks to go until my Christmas holidays start, phew. Just need to get through today of course!
First comment i feel privileged. Happy Friday all of you wonderful people. Its Payday and black friday so i am finishing up my Christmas shopping today so far so good
2 hours in to my shift rn, but getting through it as im going on the polar express tonight!
I’m rapidly approaching my friend’s Christmas party, 6th December and the secret Santa I need to buy for is my brother… He’s one of my best mates but is notoriously hard to buy for!
He loves records, skating, F1 / Bike racing and being a Karen but anything related to those he’s either got or the jokes been done before… Was thinking about maybe designing a custom t-shirt of his favourite band Alkaline Trio since I do have the skills, guess I’ll debate this morning since if I’m going that route it needs to be finished today really.
Bah I always struggle with presents, brain isn’t as active as it used to be…
It’s the works Christmas party today, but I’m not going to all of it. Being a non-drinker around a bunch of very drunk coworkers is not fun, so I’m going to head off before the drinks part of the evening.
Nothing exciting here. Doctor’s appointment, housework, going to my mum’s to put her shopping away. I’m not sure if I’m coming down with a cold, or if I just breathed in loads of dust when I cleaned out inside the radiators yesterday. Hopefully the latter.
Very busy weekend ahead, so I’m looking forward to a quieter evening tonight. Maybe just a nice dinner and a film or something.
Although if it’s not raining, I might float the idea of walking into town and having a drink in our favourite pub.
I think that’s the worst night ive had with whatever bug I have. My nose is red raw, my throat hurts, my ears hurt, my nose bled on my pillow.
The wind was so loud last night and my dog needed out at 3 am. Yeah, I didn’t sleep well.
Currently counting down the days until the 7th of December Heading to New York for a week with my Mrs
Got school drop off at 8:45 then off to work. But the Mrs has floated the idea of a chippy tea tonight so feeling pretty good about the day. 80% through the Christmas shopping and the tree arrived yesterday, just need a new set of baubles.
Sick note came through already. Off work until the 4th, much to my boss’s annoyance I would assume. Surgeon want me to have 2 weeks off but I said no, give me a week. So he should be fucking grateful.
Managed to roll onto my arm in my sleep at 5:30, so woke up in pain. Been awake since. Nothing new there tho.
Chilling today, just taking it easy other than the world’s neediest cats. Might play something later but not sure what, don’t know if I can use a regular mouse or if I have to roll with the thumb ball or controller. Luckily I have options. Tempted to fire up the dayz server but if I get jumpscared and have to flick aim it’ll be agony lol. We’ll see what happens.
Edit, looks like the downvote gremlin has arrived. Shoutout to u/vbloke as it’s always you too, lol. I always toss an upvote your way when I see it :p
Happy Friday all! Just wanted to try and spread some cheer and say have a good day and weekend, and if you’re working I bless you to look at the clock and say “omg time is going so quick today!”
Waiting for the Wickes man to arrive with our fence panel that’s been missing for ages. Our dog has recently decided to climb over the gap and run around the neighbours garden so we decided now would be a good time
Getting a root canal done today, can’t wait!!
I’m awake when I don’t want to be, but lucky me I get to go back to bed. My dog has been for a pee and is happily munching her morning treat.
Today will be washing laundry and a dog walk, then as much nothing as I can until my night overtime shift. I’m also on the evening shift tomorrow, but these are the last two until January.
Mince pie for breakfast. Had always been on the fence about them but I bought a pack of Morrison’s The Best deep filled mince pies to try, and they really are the best.
Parents popping round later for a cuppa so just doing a spot of tidying of my conservatory that doubles as my art studio, so they have somewhere to sit.
Getting excited for the weekend.
Gaming tonight with the wife and our nephew – we all play different things during the week but on Friday night we usually come together to play Fortnite and laugh on the mics for a few hours.
Putting all the decs up tomorrow and Sunday, getting a take away, couple of films, lighting the fire.
Can’t wait. It’s been a horrid week so this weekend feels like it can’t come fast enough
Happy weekend people! Seeing wicked 2 tomorrow night with the mrs, looking forward to a cheeky date night! ❤️
Slept like shit but just gotta get through work and then I’m gonna see my friends band later this eve 🤘🏻
I’ve been so looking forward to Friday but feel a bit rubbish! Works really tiring and stressful atm. I just saw the video of a guy who buys an octopus and tries to teach it the piano and I thought, I’m gonna go to the aquarium when I finish work. The idea of the blue light and fishies sounds amazing right now for some reason 😄
Mum’s central heating thermostat has packed in so although she could turn the heating on, there’s no way to regulate the temperature and that’s not good for the boiler (it’s 16 years old so she doesn’t want to push it). So her heating is off. But I’ve got a blood test later so I won’t be sat in her house getting cold. This week will have been stimulation and sensory overload by tomorrow lunchtime. Rain, idiot drivers, idiot pedestrians, more rain, hygienist visit, cold rain, unspecified abdomen pain related to IBS and reflux, more rain, appliances not working as they should, blood test, and 3 hours with a bunch of excitable 8-10 year olds tomorrow morning.
I’m working trains 1400-0000 today, with the final trip being back from Big Smoke City, with all its Christmas Markets wonders.
Tis the season to start wearing a BodyCam, and leaving all my Fucks, safely in my locker, back in depot.
Had a rough month and compensated by spending way to much on my kids at christmas just to make me feel better. My missus is mad because they need winter coats and shoes not Monster high haunted high school and a big fuck off hotwheel playset that i may or may not also play with.
I’m still in bed, but just turned the electric blanket off, trying to decide if I want any of the rather mediocre black Friday deals or not.
Happy Friday people!!! Working 4-1 in the pub tonight, and then 12-12 tomorrow. So please, for me, enjoy your weekend!
Got a work doo next week and thought i just check in on my suit before heading out as last time i wore it was at a wedding. Apparently I sat on candle or something as there’s wax drips all down the legs and 2 small burn holes near the butt…
Should be fine, and if anyone complains ill report them to hr for looking at my arse
The cost of train tickets in this country drives me bonkers. It’s going to cost me around £120 out of my own pocket to travel in for a mandatory all-staff day next month. On the other hand, a flight to Malaga costs £30. I love the idea of skipping out and eating tapas.
It’s my Staff Christmas party this evening. Usually I look forward to it mixed with dreading it as I’m socially anxious and crap at dolling myself up.
This year I feel nothing. Like, nothing at all. I started feeling like this yesterday seeing so much malice and shit going on in the news and peoples comments online, along with the fact our plans to potentially finally buy our first house fell through last month. I’m trying to have my phone off more often.
I kind of feel like… what is the point? Like in anything? I’m more fine going out than I usually am but instead of feeling anxious I’m like “well, what else am I going to do?”
I’ve felt depressed and sad and learned to avoid falling into the void of depression in the past, its a brief passing thing now when it comes. This feels different. I feel NOTHING. Maybe this is what feeling less anxious feels like?
I’m hoping once I’m out and have a few drinks and a decent meal in me around fun people I’ll feel better. Maybe I’m just a bit burned out with work and emotionally recently (my husband had a health scare last week and it took up all our mental energy last weekend and he’s been a bit off this week because of it). I had to deal with 2 screaming little girls at work yesterday and I honestly felt like a cold ice queen that afternoon dealing with it.
Happy Friday.
Payday, utilities refund, and chicken wing with blue cheese for tea. My ultimate fave.
One of my suppliers dropped me 6 bottles of grey goose off for Xmas, yesterday.
All is well with the world.
