O/S Daily Thursday 22nd September 2016
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 well” is fine.
Morning everyone
Hugs to those that want/need them x
Happy birthday to those with a birthday x
Now light, dry underfoot, after a cloudy overcast start yesterday the sky cleared and it was another sunny day, hoping for the same today. Hoping washing can be line dried.
DH up and gone to work stupid early, DS1 now getting ready for work, DS2 still in his pit, will wake him shortly to get up and ready for college.
Dinner last night was pork steaks oven cooked in gravy and veg, served with mash, carrots, HG green beans, mini corn cobs and peas, all eaten and enjoyed. Tonight I'm not sure, but I do have some breaded chicken pieces in the freezer, so could serve those, with a cheese and potato pie and beans. If possible I don't want to buy any more food today as doing the weekly food shop tomorrow. Really need to get back to the menu planning, and stop the "top up" shops other than needing bread.
Now on days' off, have quite a "to do" list and I really want to get going with it, as everywhere feels cluttered and untidy, so I'll just potter along and try to get as much done as possible, I'll write a list shortly.
Keep safe and well x

Morning folks and thanks for new thread NMLC. It looks a bit damp outside but forecast to improve.
The girlies are still fast asleep so just time for another coffee before I wake them up. Once they have gone to school it's the brought forward Friday clean and then we can set off for the wedding tomorrow leaving all looking decent.
My best friend had her appointment yesterday for her scan result. Her doctor had already told her there was something seen on one lung. So this was an urgent referral. We were all fearing the worst (as you do) but it was better news than hoped. He thinks it's just a nodule and nothing sinister but will do quarterly ct scans to keep a check. We were all so relieved.
Dear HILSTEP have a wonderful week with your DS, making even more lovely memories for your family. Big (((HUG))) for you and all else in need, especially LAINEY and her DM. POLLYANNA keep popping in when you have time. Have a good day all if you can and take care xxx"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0 -
Good morning everyone.
Thanks for the thread nmlc.
It's so foggy outside I can hardly see more than 100 yards. Sadly my early morning view of the sea is missing.
Yesterday my IT job took bloomin' ages as they have a Mac so all the functions I'm used to didn't work with it. I was only doing a job with email so I thought it'd be half an hour tops, it took two hours. I wasn't too chuffed but at least it's done.
I did a small wash but had to hang it on the airer in the spare bedroom, dehumidifier on and door shut. The rain just poured down most of the afternoon and all evening.
Today will have a slow start and a rush end. Teaching from two till four, being loaded up with stuff for a neighbour's son and driving down to Glasgow. Will have to find him, in the East end and then get back across to my mums.
Tomorrow I'm going to the Glasgow Pavilion to see Prof Brian Cox and Robin Ince. I've had the ticket for months, thought I'd lost it in one of my occasional decluttering sprees but I'd only put it somew safe (and completely the wrong place).
Hugs to those who need them.

Morning All
Looks like it's drying up outside, last night was wet and miserable. I lit the stove for a while to make it feel better.
Slept for a full 8 hours last night but still feel so tired, still, I'm off tomorrow and Monday so will have a good rest, bet I wake up early!
Enjoy having your DS with you hilstep.
Not going to hospice tonight as I don't want to pass on my germs, must catch up on some sewing. Busy day Gers, have a good weekend, hope your DM is ok.
Take care. XX0 -
Morning all
NMLC thank for the thread, hugs to Lainey and Hilstep.
My L&M isn't well, I'm hoping to persuade him to take a couple of days off and I'll try to get him a Dr's appointment. He now has 2 bosses instead of one, they keep contradicting each other and he's run ragged trying to keep both of them happy.
I've tightened up our budget, no more haircuts or dye for me, I have £10 a week to cover all my spends, that includes my writers circle which I will stop after next week and any treats for the DGC, I will save as much as possible out of it so the DGC can have Christmas/birthday gifts.
The food budget is set at £30 a week for the 2 of us, I've stocked up at the butchers, £46 the freezer now has lots of meat in.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs HesterChin up, Titus out.0 -
Morning all,
Looks to be nice day here cooler this morning but will brighten up later, off to work for me which has been very quiet this week.
DD has been sent straight to second interview for the job they asked her to apply for, they said they knew her so no need for a first one, its next Tuesday so not too long to wait.
Dinner tonight will be something and chips, I think there are some fish fingers or chicken nugget type things in there with peas.
Need to do a wash tonight and hoover round.
Have good days all xxx0 -
Good morning all, I was MIA yesterday through busyness. Had a hospital appointment in the morning and got on with some work in the afternoon, then made a pasta bake, plus some chicken for the DS and then flopped, went to bed.
I am so glad to read that the news was a lot less sinister than feared TA and that others too have had a positive day. Hope today is good, I have to get to work quickI was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back0 -
Morning everyone,
Just back in from walking the girls, dry and reasonably bright day.
We are still waiting on news from the hospice, typical as last week there was room but not this. Quite rightly those people already in the community get priority over those in hospital, could just do with getting everything sorted. Mum did seem brighter yesterday and we had a good visit, there had been another black-out in the morning mind and no-one seems to understand why as her BP etc is fine. It's weird as she seems to go really rigid first rather than just dropping so it seems more like a fit, who knows.
She has friends going this afternoon and my SIL in the evening so am having a day off, eldest SS is coming over to show us the pictures from his recent travels in the US so will do some baking this morning. Yesterday was a fab drying day so hope to finish up the coats etc today and then that will be done.
Glad your friends news was better than expected TA
Hope your L&M feels better soon Hester
Have a grand visit with your son Hillstep
Take care folks x0 -
