OS Daily Monday 6th February

Morning All,

Been missing in action the last couple of weeks so hope everyone is ok.
DB dropped at Manchester Airport this morning at 6.30, lots of the snow has melted but quite foggy, but the main roads seemed mostly clear.
We have no boiler at the moment so no heating or hot water:eek: luckily we have a coal fire so kept reasonably warm last night. DH will buy the parts to fix it hopefully today otherwise it will be a new boiler which we don't have the money for.
Will go out to work with DH today otherwise its sitting in a cold house which I dont fancy. Lots of ebay parcels to post.
Hoping to get on with the house and either put up to sell or rent in the very near future.
All a bit fed up today but hopefully we will have a warm house by tonight.
Have a good day all J x

Morning :hello:

I'm going to dig my bike out of the back of the shed today and take it to the bike shop. I haven't ridden it for ages and it could do with a good service. The gears are clunky and the chain guard has snapped and fallen off. I could do it myself but they'll do a better job and much quicker too. £18 plus parts. I only paid £100 for the bike, I'll have to work out if it'll be cheaper to just buy a new one.

I have some bits and pieces to sort for ebay/charity shop but that won't get done today - mr tru is taking a holiday day and NOTHING gets done when he's here, he manages to get in the way, even when he's in a different room

Morning All,
Still plenty of snow here & the dogs are still loving it, wanting to go out every 5 minutes. Unfortunately my bones are not & the OA & sciatica have been particularly bad so will be taking it very slow today. Have managed to put some food out for birdies & emptied the kettle into their water bowl, after making a much needed coffee of course. will see if I can get someone to clear me a path to the greenhouse in a bit so that I can hobble down and check on my overwintering plants, hopefully they will be ok as they are all swaddled in gardening fleece. Need to check pond as well & make sure pump is still running. Dinner tonight is stuffed hearts done in the slowcooker before Christmas so will get them out of the freezer in a mo have also got hm mash in there & plenty of veg, especially done with days like this in mind
All of you having to go out to work do school runs etc please take care,
Hugs, spoons & hi5's as usual and a special hi to those MIA x

Morning everyone.

Snow lingering but we've had very light rain and its all slushy and not frozen. Roads are clear so life carries on as normal, fancy that the way the news reports are I thought the earth had ground to a halt <rollseyes>

Plans today are to pop out and run some errands, have lunch at my mums and then tackle housework and a bit of zumba. Exciting stuff :rotfl:

No idea whats for tea, either bacon cakes or baked chicken and mustard BBQ sauce.

esmf - hope you are doing OK today xx

Hester - hope work is not too pants for you x

Julie - hope DH can fix the boiler xx

Our new to us DW doesn't seem to be working properly It washed everything fine but was being noisy for ages and hasn't dried off any of the contents. Not sure if I opened it too early, will have to pay more attention to what time it gets put on and when it finishes tonight.

Hugs and spoons all round. have a good day OS or not.

Morning,
Snow is melting,helped by some heavy rain about 5 am when the dog very inconsiderately wanted a wee:D.Main roads arefine though.The car has still not been picked up by the people who bought it even though they paid for it last week-the chap was struggling to get s.o. to come with him.

DH & DS2 have a week+ inside doing some work for some friends,and its only 10 mins away :j
Todays plans are more laundry,soup making,bit of tidying,tea is chicken breasts(not sure what yet)might be Thai curry,and hopefully some sewing.Not sure yet whether DGD will come after tea today or tomorrow.Her Nanna sent a brill photo of her posing in the snow sat in a Bumbo (a kind of baby seat) in a sledge,looking a bit bemused at all the white stuff.Oh and she's got her first tooth

Candy- hope you manage to sort stuff with your daughter.Your plans for the courses sound good.
Bitsy- I'm always surprised at how long our DW actually takes to finish its cycle,lets hope its just that.
Julie-hope the boiler is sorted soon,its the hot water I miss the most if anything goes kaput.
JackieO-Happy decorating

xx
