OS Daily Thread - Monday 6th July

Hi, I've finally made it back. What was supposed to be a week in hospital with DS2 ended up as 3 weeks:eek:. I am so glad to be home and sleeping in a proper bed:j. DS2 is slowly starting to be able to walk unaided as he was unable to walk when we came out (just due to being in bed for 3 weeks) I can't find anything in the house :rolleyes: as my parents in law came to stay for the first 9 days then my parents came for the remainder to look after DS1 and bring me food in the hospital. We have to go back for a check up this afternoon at the hospital, and we're going for a little trip to the library this morning.
Tonights dinner is left over roast chicken, probably as a curry. I'm trying to have a sort out and need to get back to flylady. I had sorted out a carrier bag of books to go to the charity shop but DH helpfully put them all away again:rotfl:Got to go put the washing out.

:hello:Morning all!

There hasn't been a lot of OS going on here since we got back from hols! DS arranged a week off to strip and repaint the front window ledges (the outside ones) and found he could only do it in the evenings as the sun kept drying up the paint stripper, and the ledges in the porch had umpteen layers of paint on, so it took him the whole time we were away just to get the downstairs ledges just about stripped - then someone hit the front of his car in Asda carpark and drove off :mad:, so he's been having to repair that instead - it needed a new wing and bumper, and the MOT's due at end of the month. So decorating stuff is all over the place, and one of the collapsible plastic crates broke when he got it out of the cupboard under the stairs, so the stuff from that is the first thing you see when you look into the living room Will make DH buy a new crate today!It wasn't nice coming home to such a mess, especially as the paint he stripped has mixed with the stripper and solidified so will probably need a wire brush to shift it :rolleyes: Oh well, I suppose it will be sorted in time.

We've been eating a lot of salad this past week, though did have lamb chops with couscous the other night, and pasta one night....no idea yet what we're having tonight possibly more pasta!

Diva - and other Chalet School fans - the books are being reprinted atm! Can't remember the name of the publisher - I think it was something like "Girlsgoneby". Oh, how I longed to go to the Chalet School!:rotfl:

Morning all,hugs to tiredmum ,PP and anyone else who needs one.Welcome to the newbies.

DS2 is starting jury service today so it should be peaceful.Will get upstairs hoovered when I get off here,and look under the bed for stray socks,boxers etc,as he usually just gathers what he can see from his floordrobe.Actually I'm doing him an injustice-he did do his room really well when we had the last viewers last weekend so its not too bad at all ( incidentally ....the viewers who had practically allocated rooms and decided where the kids toys were going,asking how quick we could move etc etc. and now the agent can't get hold of them at all for any feedback :mad: )

Tea is leftover beef from yesterday,so thats easy- don't know what time DS2 will be home.

Think I'll clean the conservatory windows,they've been annoying me as I can see some streaks when the sun shines,so I'd better get a move on.
Have a good day everyone.x
PS.Diva,Loved the Chalet School as well,still got some of those too,find it very vey hard to declutter books

Hugs to all who are having a bad time of it. Oh dear there's no hug smilie. So you'll just have to image it ((((((hugggg))))))

Well, I've been into town (like I was supposed to have on Saturday). Was very restrained, and only bought two willow trellises from the pound shop and a pair of memory foam insoles for OH, also from the pound shop. Also some onions from the market - I am only growing red onions this year, and last year's have already been used up. I use loads of them! I am about to go and put the slow cooker on for tea and sort out some of the clean laundry before I go to w*rk this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a good day
