    The only trouble with drinking tea is that everyone in the house asks you to make them tea every time you go near the kettle haha, I always think I’m not that good at making tea haha

    Omg good idea I love meal deals lol. Had one today. 

     

    Few people from work are leaving to go to uni. So having a meal out with three people at different times. I mean why can’t they ask do one big meal but yeah guess cant cause corona. Now I’ve got to think of three places We should go to and going to be well expensive. We don’t know weather to go for savoury or sweet 

    getting Nervous off how shit my small talk is ha. Need convo starters. I mean atleast at work you can speak about the work lol

They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    @Shaunie pub food is always a good bet, I love just going to a pub for a meal and most are really really reasonable prices.

    My wrist hurts so bad. Ffs


    @Liam you  could always come in as a listener, you can still take part in CR etc. 


    I no longer use spoons after the treatment of staff scandal. I won't support that.

    @GreenTea I think they did have one on a Sunday for a while, but Sundays are always relatively quiet for chat anyways so it wasn’t well used. 

    @Liam you should sign up!!!!! It’s great, I got in one week when someone didn’t show up and then signed up for the week after as well because it was so good for support. And listeners are always appreciated.

    @GreenTea have you got any convo starters in your list of closing round questions?

    I think there's a space left as all those who signed up this week have just been moved to next week. Could always be a listener if you aren't sure
