WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY? Thursday 20th June 2019

Hello everyone, whoever you are, wherever you are and whenever this finds you, welcome to our What's Happening Today thread :)

Most of you will know that we Admins are a small group, all with families, jobs, pets, homes and lives outwith the forum, so this is our way of saying “How are you?” “How's life treating you?” “Pull up a chair and have a cuppa”, in our full and busy days.

Whilst we're generally seen as individuals, this is our team effort and you will see us, TeamAdmin, on occasion on the forum, when we've come to a group decision about something that concerns or delights us. We don't take our roles lightly and a lot of thought goes into the things we post, which we hope will be taken in the spirit in which they are intended, friendly, informative and non-judgemental and the decision to act on that advice, is yours and yours alone, unless we deem that it puts another member at risk, in which case, we'll act accordingly.

This is a place where our first concern doesn't have to be about healthy living, a number on the scales, or how sweaty we've got at the gym, although those comments are always welcome and helpful. Here we can chat about the annoying person that pinched our parking space, little Johnny's football team scoring the winning goal, or the furball that the cat's just thrown up on the new Axminster!

It's also where to ask “Where's the........?”, “How do I”? “How many......?”, “Who's.......?”, etc.

As our time is limited, we have to prioritise our tasks while we're here and that pans out as:

1) Spammers/trolls – our first priority is to keep everyone safe from the unscrupulous.

2) Newbies – obviously, we want people to feel welcome and important.

3) What's Happening Today? - We can run through a single thread quickly and deal with queries, requests and respond to chat.

We can only move on from these 3 things if and when time allows. Our Events, clubs and challenges all have hosts and while we always try to support them, we know that they all do excellent jobs of keeping things going and looking after everyone.

However!!! This is a peer to peer support group and it's up to each of us, as individuals, to give our fellow forum members the attention, support and assistance that we'd like to receive ourselves. That's how it works around here.

We will post our comings and goings, so that you'll have a rough idea of who and when Admin will be around, but don't let our absences halt the flow of conversation. Please chat away to each other as much as you like, the more the better! :)

NB The What's Happening Today, Daily Diary and Weigh-in are opened at 9pm on the day before they're dated and closed at 9pm on the day, to accommodate our members all around the world.

Here's a list of what we have on offer and you are invited you all to take part in as much as possible, to get the most out of this wonderful forum.

If you click on the host's name, you will be magically transported to their profile page, where you can find their current post, to enable you to join quickly and effortlessly.

Good morning all :)

I've had another early start to my day, after being woken at just after 2am by a telemarketer!! They're annoying at the best of times, but in the middle of the night, I wanted to strangle them!! :X

However, I'm all organised now, been for a walk in the rain, done my washing, hoovered through, showered and dressed! I'm hoping the weather clears up so that we can go out this afternoon.

I shall be here until noon, then I'll be followed by IndigoBlue61 until 4.30pm, who will be followed by BridgeGirl until 9pm. I hope you'll be popping in to keep us company and to share your craic.

Happy Thursday everyone! :)

were you polite to the caller????

Well I have had another lie in- 7am and its sunny and dry:) Today will be a busy day- got a few food items still to get, need to bake a cake, pack for tomorrow, meal planning for next week and housework- oops forgot- do some Zumba exercise!

Will be relaxing this evening and skyping with my siblings at 7 so hopefully everything will be done by then so I can relax!

Erm....no!

Good for you managing to lie-in! I wish I could! :)

I'm sure you'll rattle through your list quickly, so that your evening will be your own.

Have a good one! :)

Good afternoon

I’m around for the next wee while but doing a few jobs in between

Housework job???? I’m currently having a rest whilst dishwasher finishes its programme- I need to grind granulated sugar into caster sugar to sprinkle on the raspberries for the angel cake and forgot to do this before putting it in the dishwasher😗

Anyway all packed ready for tomorrow- weather is mainly sunny and cloud no rain until Monday but in the spa so won’t be an issue until driving home. Just the fridge items to pack and toiletries but otherwise all done. Housework nearly gone- just got kitchen floor to wash then it’s a soak in the bath with a book and remaining glass of wine then I can relax and have a natter with an old friend on the phone and then with siblings this evening. Only thing left after the bath is finish off the cake bit that is a job for this evening

Yes! I can cook and wash up, but can’t peg out washing or hoover yet 🤣

It’s quite a good forecast for the weekend, there’s a local Festival with music and crafts etc that we like to attend so fingers crossed

You’ll be fine in the Spa or the big pool area, but it’s always nice to see sunshine. Will you do any cycling?

I plan to the friend I dog sit hot she works there part tome do usually can get us free bikes😁 probably cycle to and around Sherwood Pines to work off the BBQ we’re having on the Saturday evening and usually plenty of left over do that’s good sorted for Sunday. I’m hoping the cycling, line dancing, Bollywood dancing &?yoga will work off the excess cslories😆

The cycling is good from what I remember 😊. No doubt it’s changed in the 25 years since I was there!

We usually go cycling though can be dangerous to others!

Haha sounds like me! I fell off so many times, but at least it was a (fairly) soft landing 😊

Afternoon and evenin' all. I'm sounding like Dixon of Dock Green, for anyone who remembers him. Though we never had a TV 'til I left home so I saw very little of him or another other TV cops. Deprived childhood ;)

I've just been to Debenhams to return something, got in the queue and realised I'd left the receipt at home :( Fortunately, I'd also taken a watch that needed a new battery (I know, I'd have got it for half the price at the market) and I had a wander round and bought a top in the sale.

I'll be here 'til the forum's bedtime so let me know if you have any news :)
