    Tell him you'll go in blackface. When he objects, check mate.

    He said "they don't mean any harm" to which I countered "neither did gollywogs".

    Your move is next! :pac:

    I was correct on both odd and wonderful. I just had dinner with a guy Im dating, and a girl we're both dating, and a guy she's dating, and three other friends, who are all dating each other.

    It was a lot of giggling and fun, but also my first time in that kind of scenario where Im actually part of a dynamic 🙈. Definitely my funnest dinner in ages 🙂

    Ladies, you're all awesome. Anyone have tips for getting bleach stains out of a (green) tshirt :(

    I had literally worn it twice when it got stained and it was not cheap..so been sitting in the wardrobe for 3 months or so now making me feel sad :(

    Add a few more splashes and make it a feature?

    My instinct was to suggest colouring it in... I don't think I'm much help in this case! :D

    When I googled it - there was a suggestion for that. Using permanent or material markers. It's an odd colour green though so would say you'd struggle to get a match.
    I've seen suggestions of dabbing vodka on as that will spread the colour from surrounding fabric...but as a non vodka drinker that seems like an expensive way to fix a t-shirt :)
    Suggestion of white vinegar there as well to bleed the surrounding colour onto the stains might try that one. The black permanent marker thing would likely work well on black clothing I'd say.

    Be careful bleedimg it, cos that will just leave it even patchier!

    Dear god I want to go home now! The sheer amount of work I have to do just hit me like a tonne of bricks! Way too many projects up in the air at the moment. Tuesday date night is the only thing stopping me from bolting for the door!

    It now looks a lot like I'm just spamming myself and the thread! But it's Friday... we survived the weekend, I'm caffeinated and have slept for all the hours, and Cotton Eyed Joe just came on on my Spotify Playlist.

    How are all the other Loungers doing this Friday? Anything fun planned for the weekend?

    I know not of these "plans" things of which you speak.

    Seriously, my life is so boring and dull there is very little to say about it. The most exciting thing I've done all week is go to a spinning class for the first time. It went well, until I lost a pedal during a sprint and found it a second later... buried in my calf. Hello excuse to buy more cycling gear.

    I wish I had a more exciting, or even normal life (what is normal anyway?) but c'est la vie.

    Exciting is as exciting does. This time last year, the most exciting thing I did on a weekly basis was have an argument or watch a tv show. Now I see people and do stuff in the evenings.

    I sometimes do cancel with anxiety, but it's gotten so much better!

    I worked for 7 weeks abroad but that's it. This is new and exciting and absolutely terrifying! It's going to be a huge culture change and the weather is unbelievably hot but I'm working with all westerners so they'll help me get my bearings.
    It's created quite the buzz for some reason. The local newspaper is doing a piece on it!

    I'm in college tomorrow :(

    I'm having a lie in on Sunday, and I'm going out on my bike on Sunday afternoon. And Sunday evening will be spent correcting homework and planning lessons for Monday, and starting the process all over again! Nobody mentioned actually correcting the homework after setting it!!!

    But I'm :):):) exhausted. But :)

    Mars bar - any room in your case?

    Loadsa work isn't it!
    The teachers went back to school yesterday, I found it pretty tiring because I am in my new school so lots of information to absorb.
    I was made class mistress of a class of first years so I have to pretend I know all about the school!
    I have a very nice timetable and my own classroom so I am happy with that.

    An unbelievable amount of work. I set homework and then had to correct it after collecting it :(

    But it's all good so far. Enjoying it.

    I reckon after a few months of teaching I will have enough stories to entertain anyone at any dinner party. Teenagers are absolutely hilarious.
