Her fivehead ๐๐๐
You did some serious over shopping prep didn't you? ๐บ
You have no idea lol
Very cute. Would last maybe 3 weeks with my confetti monsters!
She went through it once and that's it. Took me sooooo long to put together lol
Oh dear. Bit of a situation where the box being more fun than the toy does not exactly pan out
Clearly a thinker
Eeeeeee!
she's so tiny ๐ป
Got an interview tomorrow lol
Perfect timing.
Definitely a good idea to keep the momentum going after today's news!
100% Spoke to a few people today. Everyone i spoke to feels the same. They're actively on seek on their phones at work lol
These are management people.
Ted looking cute again, this time sprawled on the two ikea storage tables ๐
Dinner out, first time in ages. Little Mexico in Berwick. Nice enough, kinda lacking in spice levels but that's probably more on me.
Oh noes ... Came home a bit early so I could regroup and finish off the years tasks quietly. 20 min nap on couch became 2 hour DEEEP sleep with random nightmares and now my neck is cricked and I am discombobulated.
Yep. That was 2024 in a nutshell
add in being disabled by sciatica for months and that's my year too
( but been an amazing year for personal emotional growth and I'm so lucky to have mr seagooon ๐ฅน )
Naw. Here's to Mr Seagoon. ๐บ

I think you just summed up my 2024 also.
I regret getting in contact with my Aunty to settle things.
She tells people that Iโm the nice one Iโm the family but I just choose not to get into conflicts.
She texts me this.
โI havenโt got any replies to my emails. You better tell your cousins to hurry up to have settlement by blah blah dateโ
Dunno if Iโm reading into too much but it does t sound very nice and feels like sheโs pressuring me to rush them.
Family conflict over property issues is the worst. Brings out a real nasty side of people. I hope like hell it'll go smoothly in my family
Iโd like to see it resolved soon but not with messages like that. Itโs very demanding I feel and sheโs supposed to be the executor of the will.
Thereโs already been major conflict in the family with the contesting of the will and some legalities that had to play out and she dumps it all on me because Iโve chosen to stay neutral as much as I can.
Cheers guys ๐บ
CHEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!! ๐ป๐ฅ๐ป๐ฅ๐ป (extra loud cos it has to cross the sea)
Iโm so tired ๐ฎโ๐จ
hugs
I find being tired out from stress and illness/discomfort is colouring all my feelings
Who's an idiot who thought it'd be overcast and left their bedroom blinds partly open and window wide open. No prizes for guessing.
I am being taught over and over again THOU SHALT ALWAYS LEAVE THE BLINDS DOWN AND WINDOWS CLOSED before leaving for work. No exemptions. Boiling.
Met up with some old colleagues which was nice - kind of really tied a neat bow on that chapter, one year on - now to catch up on 2.5 hrs of work and call it a day.
What sort of buffoon tries to sell a house with neither stove nor oven? Wonder what other surprises lurk in this one?
IT outage at the hospital, waited 2+ hungry and uncaffeinated hours for my scopes to be cancelled. ๐ I'm declaring today Taco Overload Tuesday to celebrate.
So today i mostly worked like a dog. My boss admitted to faffing a little too much today and didnโt as much done as she should have.
Hopefully this earns me a couple of early work finishes though tomorrow I have a work function at the end, I really hate that keeping us at work later to do these functions.
I'm lucky my work functions have been totally paid and during work hours. If they were out of hours I'd bail (as nice as my colleagues are).
Turns out I took 1 more week of leave than I thought. 3 weeks here we come!
The cat is mad at me because there's cream in the fridge and it's not all in his belly (just some). He's given up yelling at the fridge and is now glaring at me, and occasionally mixing it up with looking very sad and lean.
I'm progressing to the next stage with this job. I don't know if it's what I want to do but if I got an offer I feel like I shouldn't knock it back. I just don't want to end up in a similar situation where I'm out in a year's time because it didn't work out
