Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

The toilet is functioning but its covered up and blocked by tools and frames and there is no window.

Thankfully, one of my neighbours came home so I asked to use her loo. There are one or two days a month where my body disposes of the several pounds of water retention I get every month by making me wee every two minutes and today is that day. Sigh. I need a house with a downstairs loo.

I know, but they already think I'm a weirdo. Sigh. Am not drinking anything else so I don't have to go til they're done up there.

It's a bit late for now, but for future reference, you can buy cardboard 'loos' with special inserts that turn the urine into a gel, which can then be put in the bin.

(You can use them for poo too!)




You can also get these bags..........

Aargh - with apologies for the massive generalisation, what is wrong with young men?!? Have got a student on placement who's getting @rsey because I won't let him get in a van and drive with no experience.

Having never got arsey with anyone (so not my way), I can assure you we aren't all like that.

Not that I'm "young" any more :rotfl:

I am cursing lacking the foresight to purchase a shewee.

A few years ago we had a really bad winter and the motorway iced over and came to a standstill and people were stuck on there, not moving for 14-16 hours. It was also -18° outside so dropping trou and weeing behind a bush wasn't possible. I got a lift home that day as the trains had been cancelled and the driver was about to take the motorway but didn't at the last minute. But I've been meaning to buy a shewee with the baggie things ever since.

*Pops head in* Hello! :T

Solar - These are expensive and not necessarily slippers, obvs, but they're lined with sheepskin and are comfy (I have some like these, but not these IYKWIM), might be worth a look?

Over the last couple of weeks I have massively fallen down the rabbit hole that is The Conspiracy of Larry Stylinson! Anyone else know about this?! A rumoured love-that-dare-not-speak-its-name between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson (from One Direction). I'm not really a 1D fan (apart from enjoying - and being disappointed in doing so- a few of their songs when they're on the radio) and never paid much attention to them but once I started reading about it and watching (too many!) YT videos I can't believe that they're 'just friends'! I'm aware that I'm very sad but it's made me wonder what else is covered up in the media, especially by Simon Cowell and his cronies? How many of the reported romances that get written about in the rags are genuine? Fascinating stuff really...

Birdie! That is the funniest thing I've read in ages! Am sitting here laughing out loud at the thought of you obsessively poring over band photos all night, looking for evidence :rotfl::rotfl:

Hmmm it's so true though! I have lost hours, you know what YT is like. You watch one video then have a look at the suggested videos and watch one or 2 of them , then a couple more and the next thing you know 3 hours have passed! They've made it even easier to get sucked in now because similar/suggested videos will just auto play, one after another! :eek: Seriously though, have a look on there for 'Top Larry Stylinson moments' and 'Harry Styles he likes boys' and tell me it's not real!!! I just love a good love story. :blushing:

Well that's my evening sorted!

YT's a right time-stealer isn't it?! I went on there last week to try and find the piece of classical music I was struggling to play (thought if I heard someone else play it I could get my head around the rhythm). Two hours later I'm somehow watching McFly wedding videos, via panda babies and vegetable spiralising.
