OS Friday 1st August 2008 - White Rabbits

donny-gal

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.

Pinch Punch First of the Month.

Morning All

Went to bed a little early last night as was tired, result is silly o'clock wake up but not tired now. Bedroom almost packed up - 3 more bags for the charity shop later, and more to Freecycle. Been a strange response things we though would not be wanted gone, and vice versa.

Off to town later, Jayward coming over to browse the delights of the market. A cheer up for her after this week, and a treat for both our birthdays, hers next Wednesday and mine the week after. See you later J.

Not a lot OS apart from a home cooked tea, I myself some liver (which I love) fried lightly with a drop of olive oil and white wine vinegar, learnt from a chef in France, one of whose starters was fried chicken livers, this was lambs liver but the resultant sauce was the same. We persuaded him to tell us how he did it as we were not local. This was in the Verdun, a restaurant which was really the front and back rooms of a terraced house, kitchen in the cellar, set price menu with about 5 choices for each course, and the chef came up and checked that everyone was happy with their meal. Quite short, close shaved or bald head, young, rounded, flip flops, light coloured jeans, white tee-shirt and big white apron. One of those good memories.

Enough M'ing - may catch you later. (((hugs))) and :wave: all round. Take care DG

Morning all. I'm just off to work now - last day of the week. Today will see another day of work, as well as making wedding plans (I'm looking at possible things to serve at the reception - homemade, of course!) and counting down the time til the weekend starts

I hope everyone has a good day and (((hugs))) to everyone that needs one.

Good morning!
I'm feeling a little sad today, after months of squabbling with solicitors, my dad has finally sold his house, and hands the keys over at noon today. Stupid to get sentimental over a house, I know, but it's been "home" for over 25 years, even if I moved out 10 years ago!!(though since my step mum arrived on the scene, it's nothing like the house I grew up in - it's now light, airy and tidy!).

Also, I have boxes and boxes of stuff from when I was growing up...my partners home tonight, and hates clutter, and I have no idea where I can hide all of it! Help!!!

Morning.

It's stopped raining for the first tiem this week. The campsites are in a real mess. Tourists everywhere, bored! Roads jammed. I hate this time of year.

Well off to work, court today (thankfully I am not in the dock). Then home for birthday tea. My dad hits 68 today. I shall no doubt spend half the day thinking about what to get him.

Cheers

Morning all :wave:

Donny, hope you and Jayward have a great day

Off to Matalan later as they have a 75% off sale, so might grab some bargains, and then off to the auction (but I can justify that spend as it is business )

Going out with the dog in a few minutes, and it looks quite bright out there, so might put the WM on

Hope everyone is OK, have a good day x

Dumyat

Sunnyday

Morning peeps :wave:
lovely and sunny here at the moment - long may it last!

I`ve got today off w*rk and i`ve a very busy day planned, lots of housew*rk and then some cooking and gardening. Ironing too later if i can fit it all in.

I thought i`d got off to a good start as i woke up at 6am but i`m still on here lol. When this cuppa has gone i`ll make a start.

Mrs_mix - i`m so glad to see that your doggie is ok!

Meanmarie - Congratulations for your DD on passing her test.

Mummysaver - so sorry to hear about the kitten.

Sistercas - I guess that you didn`t see the last message. Was it you who had a cat with a closed eye and a lump in one leg? If so please let us know how he/she is. If it`s not Sistercas then whoevers cat it was please let us know it`s ok. I worry about these things

Off for a quick look around the greenfingered board and then i`ll knuckle down
Have a good day everyone.

OH has his driving test today at 11.41, bizare time, but please all keep your fingers crossed for him, it will make such a difference to his confidence, I will let you know later.

We have a new chap starting at work today, the only man in an office with 6 women, dont know if I should feel sorry got him, or congratulate him .

Take away curry for dinner tonight, and a glass or two :beer: , hopefully to celebrate the good news.

Got my sainsbugs delivery last night and I have just noticed that the melon they sent is rotten on one side, my dd unpacked it so I did not notice, so i will ring them later.
