O/S Daily Wednesday 20th September 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 want/need one x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x

Now getting light, dry underfoot but air feels cool, heating on just for an hour to knock the chill off. Was a lovely day yesterday, forecast says dry and warmer for this week so have gambled and have a load ready to go out on the line.

DH up and gone to work stupid stupid early, DS1 now getting ready for work and DS2 still in his pit, he's grabbing a lift from me as far as my work car park then walking the rest of the way to my parents as he's doing some work on his car with my dad. He's got a little car ready for when he passes his test, we were in the right place and right time and its an excellent first car for him. He doesn't attend college on a Wednesday and he starts his driving lessons next week.

Dinner last night was pork steaks, mash, HG green beans, carrots, peas, LO yorkshires and gravy, ice cream for dessert. Tonight we'll be having fish, chips/jacket potato, beans/veg - easy dinner as later finish on a Wednesday.

Yesterday morning work was another busy one, but I was then doing a different job in the afternoon and that wasn't too bad, I'm doing the same job all day today so we'll see how that goes, I'm working Saturday too, so want to utilize tomorrow and Friday as much as possible to get stuff done. I need to get on with stuff more as house is a pit, will make a list tonight and at least make headway with it tomorrow. I need to get rid of my broken BM and then I can move stuff around in the cupboards, and make better use of the space created, it will also mean I can get stuff off the worktop, making the kitchen tidier/clearer and therefore easier to clean.

I'm still on a mission to use up supplies from the freezers and store cupboards, I have created a bit of space in the freezers, but there's still loads in there but a lot of it is bits and pieces and you need other supplies to be able to make a meal, if that makes sense. I was thinking of using up some bits of veg etc that I found to make soup for my lunches, but it's becoming warmer and I do have salad bits to use. I'm not sure what we will be eating tomorrow night as the menu plan says lasagne using quorn mince, but when I was checking the outside freezer I have 1 x packet of quorn and 1 x packt of quorn chicken fillets, both bags look the same and I think I've assumed they are 2 bags of the same thing! I'll be giving that some thought as I ready don't want to buy anything extra.

Sorry that's turned into a bit of an essay!

Keep safe and well x
