OS Daily Monday 30th June 08

Options
Hi, this is the Daily Thread for today. This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything OS and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what 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 OS natter. The more the merrier!

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, we’re a laid back bunch here so you won’t hear any complaints. 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” type start does just as well.

Blue for Monday

Morning everyone. I have the week off and so will be re-building my wall with help and should have saved a little in my labour costs to build a patio. So will work out OK.

Had a nice day yesterday with a BBQ and pleasant evening with no rain. Looks to be a good one today too.

Hope you all have a good day

    Morning N9aev and any other early risers

    GB - of course you should listen to the music you like. This granny will be at Reading Festival in August as per usual. With the girls into randb it's me that gets told to turn the music down.

    Nothing much today except the usual dreaded house blitz and a trip to LIDL

    have good day

    Good Morning All

    Good Luck at hospital PP, ((((hugs)))) for you and anyone else who needs one.

    Lovely and sunny here today again. Think will wash the bedding today.

    Have loads of office work to do so will be in here most of the day, need to take DD to a dentist an hour away after school and will pop to Tesco at some point using my £5 off voucher. Only need a few bits so must be strict with myself.

    Probably barbeque for dinner.

    GRANNYBROON I WAS A PUNK AND HAVE REALLY DIVERSE TASTE IN MUSIC INCLUSING MUSE, EVANESCENCE AND NIRVANA.

    HUGS SMOKEY, CANDYGIRL, JAYWARD AND ANYONE I'VE MISSED.

    Dry and sunny here again, really do need some rain, preferably at night. Found out yesterday I have a slow puncture so need to sort that out today. Luckily there are a couple of places around here that will repair them for a fiver. Also need to do a Tesco shop, shall brace myself and set a timer, I hate it in there, but I have my £5 off voucher plus some clubcard vouchers to spend (not the money ones the points ones). Thanks to who posted that yesterday. Then it's studying.

    Tea will be leftovers and sausages. DS has karate later so shall nip down the allotment when he's there.

    Off for a shower. Have a good day all.

    morning all,

    Another bright and beautiful day here, had a terrible night's sleep, just kept tossing and turning all night, so feel a bit frazzled this morning, must try and not nap today, otherwise I will not sleep tonight and then I get into a vicious circle :rolleyes:

    N9eav , good luck with the wall and patio

    Pen pin, good luck at the hospital, hope the treatment goes well xx

    Happy Birthday to Master Kyle have a good day sweetheart xx

    Dazi, how was Sunny sussex ? xx

    Chicken legs, salad and crusty bread for tea, I need to have a good clean round, and change the beds, also do an online shop, maybe clean the car out, will see how I get on.

    have good days all xx
