O/S Daily Saturday 21 January 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.

Some people who chat here like to try to answer everyone. Don’t feel you have to though, a general “hi everyone, hope everyone’s ok" is fine.


Morning everyone

Hugs to those that want/need them x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x

Still dark here, but cold and frosty again.

DH and myself up and enjoying first cuppas, he's had some brekkie too as he's going into work - I'll be having a shower in a mo, had hoped for a lie-in but DH woke me when he got up so that idea went down the pan. Dinner last night was disjointed, boys had pizza and chips, I had salad and DH had a cheeseburger, tonight we'll be having sweet chilli noodles, spare ribs in bbq sauce, savoury rice, and a prawn dish of some sort and spring roll, extras etc.

Yesterday I was reasonably productive again, I continued with the washing, drying and ironing, now there's 1 x load in WM ready to be dried, and possibly 1 x load of mens work gear to do, I stripped and changed our bed, bed linen all washed and dried and back in airing cupboard, I did manage to get the 2 hotspot areas I wanted tidied and did lots of shredding of unwanted docs, cleaned out another of the kitchen cupboards and put back the items I want to keep and threw out a few bits, house is really beginning to look better - will continue with this as there's still a long way to go - the de-clutter is definitely helping my mood and keeping me busy. I didn't get any cooking/baking done, but as DH has just gone to work, I'll do that this morning, I'm going to visit the building society and then home to continue with washing, drying and ironing, then do some baking. I'm very happy with where I am with the my GC budget, I have 1 more week to go from next Friday and at present have plenty of budget left - hoping nothing goes wrong - if I get to the end of the month without a disaster it'll be the first month ever I've managed it - proving it can be done, but I did have the advantage of LO's from xmas, but if I come in where I think it's still a very good result, the not drinking is making a big difference, and we don't drink expensive alcohol either!

Lastly, the comedian we went to see last night was excellent as always, had the whole audience laughing right from the start, no support act and we both thought he was brilliant, so we were pleased we decided to get tickets.

Enjoy the weekend x

Keep safe and well x
