7/8 Feb Weekend - What small things have you done today thread???

OberonSH

We're going for a NSD - taking the kids out and taking packed lunch, going to the seaside & park for free, and being a sunday the shops aren't open for them to ask for stuff. (Not that they do anyway)

PLus being out means I won't be tempted to put the heating on all day! Got meal planning for next week to do, plus the shopping list - doing it online from now on. Spending what they ask for in delivery on a taxi anyway at the moment, plus if hubby comes with me it always ends up a big shop....

Hope everyone has a lovely cheap day!

Morning everyone


Have to go to the allotment today so will research planting garlic, apparently it is the last chance

Hiya lilian - Garlic - don't panic.
Most folks say that you plant it traditionally on boxing day. Garlic needs a period of cold to make the bulb wake up properly, under 10degrees so thats why folks plant them so early. So if you can't get it into the allotment at the momnet either start them off in seed trays and put them outside or just break up the cloves and put them into a bag in the bottom of the fridge for a couple weeks-month with or without a bit of compost in the bag (it doesnt really matter) the main thing is to get them nice and cold.
Plant them out later on when you are ready - your crop might be a bit smaller but to be honest - I planted mine over xmas holidays - and they have sat there sulking. So to be honest thus far you haven't missed much.

Never trust a french plant they sulk in Britian!!!!!

Anything else PM me - no Alan Titchmarsh by any stretch of the imagination but I can hold my own!!:rotfl:

The reason I am in so much debt is flowers!!

Away to do my list now - don't listen to a word if you don't want to - I often put folks to sleep.

Morning all
SM glad you got the situation sorted quickly - poor lady and a big to firemen.
Waving to the rest of you - we had a massive dump of snow last night/this am. WOO HOO i feel a snow man coming on.
DAwn - are we living the same life? chickens, charity shops, kale..........???? waving!

Today:
Written letters to couple things I think/don't know I owe
Spent last night with the kitchen/dining room table covered in all my paperwork so I need to use the paper today - shred for chookies or just for fire? Might just recycle it but there is 1/2 a bin bag of it.
Drinking recycled coffee - yum (yesterdays posh coffee reheated)
My student loan is 13773 not 14k - not muc of a saving but its a bit off my debt need readjust spreadseets
Eggs from the chookies yesterday so will make some scrambly eggs soon - yum
Check bank etc
Cap one CC has PPI insurance which I am sure I cancelled so will def do that today and think about writing to them and Egg for claiming the money back (gulp be brave)
Tea/lunch from cupboards - I DO NOT NEED to shop for food this week
Bake a sticky toffee pudding and freeze it to go to chums next week
Twinks hob -nobs - DD and DS actually getting on this am - they might even be able to bake?
Fire is on and need to get more logs in from our emergency stash outside.
Look into a design for a saw horse
Pay CC today
Post some letters to banks, etc today whilst still brave.
Package up seeds all sorted now
Do some cooking and baking I think
Need write up some work - did nowt yesterday except financial stuff.
Pack up book for a nice person on here
Look again and try not to explode with laughter at the link UNI girl put on my diary about the things folks to do save the pennies, its fabulous - I only managed 5 pages yesterday DD and I were howling with laughter
Give a pal some dodgy plant advice about her garden - silly girl asked for some so how can I say no? I think she wants it redesigned - shes just moved and doesnt do 'outside' or plants so I think we are working me doing the design(possibly doing it?) in exchange for plants - all good.

Waving to you lovely lot - working alot today on PC so I can bother you
Hope you are all good today

Whatever is up with my lot at all this weekend after last night's fire escapade just had to go and deal with another of my oldies collapsed in corridor having a panic attack. Luckily dealt with this one recently so still had my paper bag handy just in case. She is now back to normal and sitting having a cuppa. I have a feeling it is going to be one of those days:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
