UK train companies should use this. So often I ask why my train is delayed and they basically shrug their shoulders

Better than last week in that I feel almost back to normal. Never had a chest infection before (that wasn't Covid) but it was like being hit by a truck, wonder if having had Covid twice makes me more susceptible to these things now. Or maybe I'm just getting older.

I will know if I have a future at my work by the end of the week which is slightly nerve wracking. My job is safe but due to the restructure my salary is protected only until April, when it decreases by a fair bit. I am handing my notice in after Christmas if management don't agree to keep my salary at the same level as I've worked too long and hard there to be treated like shit salary wise. Hoping it won't come to that but we'll see. Meeting management this week and making my case as it's budget time.

I am hoping to make a baby hat using a knitting loom. Gave up on crochet because I have no coordination so hoping this is an easy first project.

Not had a great week, not been very well. I've had what feels like a chest/throat infection and it's made me knackered. Had hardly any appetite and haven't felt like going to choir was a good idea (don't want to infect anyone) so have had barely any good things to get me through it.

I don't really get sick but when I do it hits me like a truck. Slowly getting better but I'm very impatient.

It depends on where they're from though. Outside of America we don't have such a reliance on tipping

Make up remover wipes will work, just be careful as it can also take the paint off. Good for blurtack stains too

I plan my diary a week in advance so I have all my lunch breaks in. I'm terrible at making myself work without breaks so the reminders help me to do it. I also listen to podcasts (or music when I'm working from home) and make myself go and eat lunch by the river so I have a solid hour away from everyone else. I struggle with being around people all day and having to constantly be 'on' do that time is precious.

We have dogs in the office semi-regularly and it's a massive mental health boost! Great for reducing stress

Sting has a lot to answer for

I cancelled Netflix a few months ago and that was my only subscription out of the main ones (I currently have a subscription to Nextup which is a comedy streaming platform but that's it). I haven't missed it much as there's not been anything on there that I've been keen to watch. If there ever is I'm sure I can find another way to watch it. I find I am using my free channel streaming apps more though (BBC iPlayer/Channel4, etc).

I love this idea!

I want to make my incoming niece a hat/blanket and time is running out before she arrives, so this is a good way of holding myself to account.

Ooh people could do Halloween themed things! Maybe pumpkin carving!

Hope it goes well!

Living alone is brilliant! It does take getting used to but the freedom to decorate/furnish it as you want is great.

Just make sure you always have one more loo roll than you think you'll need. You don't want to be caught short with nobody to get any more.
