O/S Daily Tuesday 18 July 2017



This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an Old Style natter. The more the merrier!

As this is the Old Style Board, it would be appreciated if posts could include some Old Style content. Please be aware that many people may have small screens, or SLOW internet connections, so please don’t post large pictures, or clip art – links are preferred. When you make a post, if you feel like giving it a title, that will help others that don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly but if not it's not a problem. Please do not start a new daily thread before you go to bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two daily threads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each new daily thread after they get up in the morning.


Morning everyone

Hugs to those that need/want one x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x

Dull cloudy and overcast here this morning, but forecast is to be hot, it's warm already - we're having lots of days where it starts like this and then by 10am the sky has cleared and we get a hot sunny day - we'll see.

DH up and gone to work stupid stupid early, DS1 now getting ready for work and DS2 still in his pit, will wake him shortly.

Dinner last night was scampi, chips, beans/veg for the menfolk, I made a caponata with aubergine, courgette, peppers, onions, beans with tom puree, red wine vinegar, balsamic and soy sauce - a little water to make a bit of a sauce - served this with steamed cod, I made a big batch of caponata - so there's some for another meal, maybe tonight or another. Weight loss is coming along nicely lost 5lb last week - but it's the first week and I've been very strict - and of course we go on hols this week, but a good start and I won't be going mad whilst away. Had planned tonight's dinner but forgot to get the meat out, but I do have LO's in the fridge that need using up, so will go down that route instead.

Yesterday work was horrendous, 2 people phoned in sick and 1 had been put on the rota to work at our office but was on leave last week to include yesterday and someone missed that - so we were incredibly short staffed and we were busy - but of course the day flew by, and the afternoon wasn't as bad luckily, although I was doing a different job that was continously busy but I don't mind that. Just today and tomorrow morning and I'm then off - can't wait.

Keep safe and well x
