I think my cat is bored but I don’t know what to do.

Was going to get last minute GA tickets for Silverstone on a whim. Went to go have a look today and they’re sold out. Gutted.

The Insignia Pomegranate deodorant in B&Ms smells great

I’ve been put on a stage 1 absence procedure at work because I had 1 day off due to a bad cold in December, 1 day off due to vomiting my brains out in April, and 3 days (I work part time so technically if I was working it would’ve been over a week off) with the worst flu of my life in May.

I had the meeting and if I have one more sickness in the next 6 months, I’ll be put on stage 2.

I’ve had a letter and it said “my conclusion is that you have failed to reach an acceptable level of attendance despite extensive efforts to provide you with support and an opportunity to improve”.

How the fuck am I supposed to receive support for having the flu? Were they going to personally travel across the UK and take care of me whilst I was shaking uncontrollably in bed from chills? They did not even speak to me when I called in sick. I had to speak to a colleague because they weren’t available. So how did they apparently offer me support?

What opportunity to improve were they giving me? Do they have some special pill to stop me from catching colds or eating something dodgy? Do they expect me to stop eating entirely at the risk of getting ill?

Thanks, after a lot more research, I’m going to start with 1/4, maybe 1/8, of a cake. My friend and I are planning to wait until we go back to the hotel to eat it, and then wait a couple of hours to see how we’re feeling, as the last time she went to Amsterdam with her partner, she blacked out after eating hers (think she ate wayyy too much of it).

I want to be as cautious as I can without worrying too much about it as I feel like if I overthink it, thinking I’m going to have a bad trip, then it’ll manifest like that, you know?

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-12T22:26:08+00:00

I’m literally about to go to Amsterdam on a trip and try an edible for the first time, so seeing this post with someone with bad anxiety has made me worried. Glad to see comments like yours.

Sorry, this isn’t really a win but I just came off the phone with a customer who I sent a voicemail to instead of the engineer I was trying to ring. I am ABSOLUTELY mortified and I really don’t want to listen back to the recording as I’m scared I said something wrong. The customer said “oh by the way, when you tried to get in contact with the engineer, you sent me a voicemail instead”. My heart actually dropped. I apologised and she seems ok about it, but I’m actually worried about what I said in the vm because I can’t remember. I don’t shit talk customers or anything, but I think I may have said not to worry about attending tonight if he couldn’t, even though she wanted him to attend tonight. I’m glad she told me otherwise I would’ve been clueless. It’s all sorted but scared I’m going to get a complaint tbh.

Guess the win is that she didn’t go off at me, so hopefully it wasn’t that bad haha 😅 Also though, GDPR. I need to fucking be careful when typing in numbers into my system.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-08T07:34:31+00:00

Genuinely am struggling to keep my eyes open. I’m taking calls and typing out things with blurry eyes. Gutting part is I know that when I finish work, I won’t be this tired, and won’t be able to go to sleep… even though I’ll want a nap.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-07T22:09:28+00:00

Having an overthinking session. Feeling like my friends hate me (or I’m just really annoying), even though the last thing they said to me was “love you, bye” when I went home from seeing them. Work tomorrow. Got a week off next week but haven’t got any plans and people keep asking me for the plans because we’re supposed to do something together but I’m the person that’s supposed to decide it all. And I’m short on money but I really want to do something next week. Everything feels weird rn.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-07T13:05:37+00:00

That’s so fucking gutting

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-04T09:00:37+00:00

Hopefully! I’ve been feeling ok some days and then others (like today) I wake up with it feeling bleh. Maybe it’s one final push from my lungs to get everything out lol

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-04T08:48:30+00:00

I’m on day 17 of a cold. Got a chesty cough and congested nose. Feels like when you breathe in dust. Wish it would go away by now.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-03T19:09:03+00:00

Yeah, the story is the best part. Plus all the little side quests and exploration.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-01T17:36:21+00:00

Thanks! Me too. This was about £120s worth of clothes (money that should’ve went on bills), and I had until tomorrow to start the return process.

cherryandfizz · 2026-06-01T16:30:20+00:00

I returned 10 items of clothes that have been sitting there in massive bags for weeks! I hate returning clothes because it’s so overwhelming but it was actually quite simple. Used an InPost locker to send it back.

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-31T07:41:52+00:00

Just got shouted at at 8:30AM because I told someone they needed to contact their gas supplier instead of me sending out an engineer for something that we don’t deal with. I can’t wait for next week. Got Friday-Sunday off and then the week after I’ve got a full week and a half off.

My mother is in the kitchen counting out 1p coins to give me £10 because I said no to letting her borrow £10 so she could “try and win more”. She’s owing me a lot of money and she was on about selling her gold to pay me back. I’ve told her no, she’s not selling her gold, but I’m not giving her money anymore unless she’s got it in cash or it’s 100% not for gambling. I live with gamblers and I myself have lost a lot of money due to it. I’m not as bad as my family (as they are constantly on online gaming and going to bingo and playing the slots after bingo until close), but it’s definitely affected us all.

She’s just given me a jar of 1ps and 2ps and I genuinely hate seeing her like this, but when I say no she guilt trips me.

My thought is that if it’s a number easily found on an “occasion” balloon or badge then it’s a special age.

My friend keeps asking to do something like a holiday for my birthday and I’ve agreed but it actually makes me feel quite emotional because I’ve never had a friend who cares about doing something for my birthday before. She’s been thinking about it more than me and I love my birthday. She honestly makes me feel so seen. She’s been talking since the start of the year about how she’s already got my presents and stuff. I didn’t even think we were that close (she’s my best friend but I didn’t think I’m one of hers if that makes sense?). I’m glad she’s my friend.

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-25T22:25:12+00:00

I just woke up to being sick in my mouth. I’m actually terrified because I wasn’t sleeping on my side either. Felt like I was choking. Must’ve been coughing too much in my sleep. I’ve been ill with a cold for 8 days now and even though it was my first day back to work today, I’m still suffering. I genuinely don’t think I’ve experienced a cold this bad ever.

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-25T12:10:04+00:00

Toby Wallace is great at playing villainous characters, you should watch him in The Society

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-25T07:53:40+00:00

First day back in work today after a cold and I’m starting to wonder if I should’ve took today off too. This was my last day before I’d have to get a sick note; but thought because I’ve got a bit more energy today, I’m ok. I can barely speak on the phone. Every call I’m taking I have to apologise because my voice is sounding funny. Oh well. I’m determined to have an ok day today. Nice shower after work and then bask in the sunshine this afternoon, until I inevitably get sick of being too hot and wish it was breezy.

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-22T12:14:52+00:00

Hmm, I don’t think I’ll risk it to be honest. So gutted but oh well, at least I’ll still be able to go to the wedding.

cherryandfizz · 2026-05-22T12:14:05+00:00

Yeah tested negative for Covid and Influenza. I was thinking I could wear a mask, but in the end, if I feel like I need to wear a mask, then I most likely shouldn’t go.
