CLOSED NOW - Morning Thread (and General Daily Discussion - Certainly during COVID)

[Dan]

Sounds tough Dave. I found out I had ADHD last year so it's been interesting knowing what's been holding me back all my life. Tiling has got easier in some ways but it's frustrating noticing when I've messed something up due to it - usually impulsive decisions I've not thought through or being hasty and saying to myself 'that's fine that'll do' when I should've spent a bit longer getting it right before moving on to the next thing. And usual waking up and getting motivated problems. I'd say with your son use the carrot not the stick! 5 minutes of concentration is better than 1. Are you in Broughty Ferry? I'm Glasgow.

Welcome to the forum mate! Have a cousin with ADHD and a bunch of other things, opposite defiance disorder is a funny one, tell him don't go climb on that shed roof and he can't stop thinking about climbing on it and only gets it out of his system when he's standing on it.

Weather is minging here again.

I have them on mate. But a few very steep banks in Teesdale that would require 4x4.

I can imagine it mate.

We have a sportage 4x4 with lockable diff but nothing problematic where we live so we go out find trouble usually (when you're allowed). Nearest is Derbyshire where the police kept telling people off for going so we daren't go lol

Wouldn't fit all the big cutters in it these days mind so no good for tiling.

You'll have to tell customers up them hills to sort their tiling out on a sunny day eh? lol

Thought I'd create a new Good Morning thread, that could not only be a nice Good Morning every day, but perhaps a bit of a support thread too. Some of us lads (and ladies) perhaps might be going through some really hard times right now. Kids being out of school mostly, jabs not coming quite yet, that kind of thing.

So tomorrow, we'll crack on with this new Good Morning Thread that's actually a bit of a daily discussion thread while people are at home perhaps. Or just need somebody else to talk to as facebook numpties are struggling a bit.

There's a Men Unite facebook group that's good and you're struggling with life at the moment.
Just search Facebook or Google for Men Unite.

I don't use ANY social media myself I think they're all dodgy data collection companies doing bad things that wont last forever. But that's just my opinion from being in the industry I guess lol (NB - We collect nowt and certainly share nowt here on TilersForums)

So here we go, perhaps tomorrow morning you guys could show your support for each other and the forum by trying to help me get this morning thread going.

Thanks in advance. 🙂

PS. Tilers who are new to the forum, but are still a bit under the radar, this is your time to shine. There are no cliques on this forum, they've all sodded off. So everybody here is equal, kind, and we know there are a lot of knowledgeable people reading and perhaps being a bit put off from posting.

Crack on with it. Post away.

A simple Good Morning, or a long post telling us about your day. It's all good. 😀
