There is nothing more irritating, to say the least, than a conspiracy theorist in ful flow. They always know best and are incapable of listening to anyone elses point of view or even the evidence of real experts. If yoou listen to them its amazing we are all still here.

I think every office has a conspiracy theorist amongst the numbers.
We seem to have more than our fair share. Three on our floor. It's funny listening to them all waffle onto each other 🤣🤣🤣3 -
What a pain having to sit near the conspiracy theory expert….where do they get their ideas from. It’s a frightening thought what might have happened without the vaccination programme. That said I need to get my booster and flu jab. I started with a cold just as I was going to get mine.January spends - £587.583

He showed me something on his phone that maps out exact dates and times we’re going to have blackouts in the winter, his mate sent it to him 🥱 Told him I’ve already lived through all this in the 70s (miners strikes) and survived plus we had a sub station on our road that was always cutting out (less than 5 years ago, now resolved) with regular power cuts and survived. I advised him to buy a generator if he was concerned which set him off Googling them on his phone 🤣 I was tempted to say to him haven’t you got any work to be getting on with as I’m a higher grade than him 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I do believe in some of the conspiracy theories, but mine are more like I believe covid came out of a lab & not from a local market. I mean there is coincidence & coincidence. If they want to kill me off there are far easier & less dangerous to themselves ways of doing it.

It’s surprising how many they are walking amongst us ! I had an educated bloke telling me last week the numbers are going up because so many people have had the booster and the government are injecting us with live Covid. Nothing at all to do with the queens death and thousands upon thousands of people mixing, people going out more etc etcSealed pot challenge 822

She started posting stupid stories on FB about how the hospitals weren't really full and it was all made up by the Govt and she also didn't believe in vaccinations etc. Every time I commented on one of her posts, she would delete the whole post and then repost it a few days later....she was right and wouldn't listen to anyone elses opinions.....I just gave up in the end, stopped contacting her and strangely enough she never rang me again either.....such strange people walk among us.

Happy Saturday 🥳🥂
Got up late (for me) 7.30! Just about had time for breakfast before my live ClubFit session - no camera thankfully as Mr SA shuffled past with his coffee and stared straight into the screen, plus the young cat was having a mad half hour in the background 🤦♀️Then took the dog on the park for a ball run followed by a trip to the local shops. Spent under £5, cold sore cream for Mr SA, a paper, baguette and a 30p book from the CS where I dropped off a carrier bag full of books.Lovely sunny day so the laundry basket has been emptied, washed and drying on the line.I have put in a WW order though as there are quite a few things on BOGOF and it’s free shipping this weekend so another £13 spent but lots of goodies coming.
DS and the GKs not coming today, they’re leaving it until next week as it’s a Halloween event at the local pub with the amazing Halloween decorations. The GKs are going to wear fancy dress so it will be brilliant.On the money saving front Mr M have sent me a £5 off my next shop voucher plus family discount is 15% off next week 🥳
Strictly tonight 💃 Rose cava chilling in the fridge. Tonight’s dinner is pizza, wedges and salad. Speaking of the rose cava, it was on buy 4 get 25% off at Mr M so with family discount it worked out at well under £4 a bottle and that’s me sorted for the next 4 Saturdays 🥂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
