.....perhaps there is a niche for an OS magazine, I'm sure nowadays it would be popular.......

Yes, but we'd only buy one and just pass it round!

Years ago I remember reading Family Circle which was sold in the supermarkets - always full then of what we would call OS tips. Trouble is there's not much in that line that 's new!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Halight - hope you have a great night out tomorrow.
Suddenly life is full of meetings and other odd things - I haven't spent an evening at home in almost two weeks! Off soon to visit DS2 again. He should be home by the end of next week, so this might be my last visit to the hospital (involves M25 so not great!)
Tried washing at 30 degrees today. Seems clean enough, but has only a slow short spin cycle, so is taking longer to dry. Perhaps a newer WM would have a faster spin programme at this temperature? However, nothing wrong with the one I have!
Hope you all have a good day.

Afternoon all

I now have a working oven again - thank goodness for warranty. Excellent service by them too - not often you can say that these days, so credit where it is due!:T:T:T

Picked up a good few YS items in Asda this morning so was very pleased. Bm has finished now and gammon in sc smells lovely!:D

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Halight

Bargainbird - your DD is so cute!

Beth my fingers are firmly crossed for your DBro today

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone

Good afternoon everyone. Late posting today as I've been busy with my MIL and then out with my friend. The rain was horribly heavy here this morning but settled down after lunch so I quickly got a towel wash out on the line and it's dried now :T Dinner this evening is sweet & sour chicken that we didn't have last night so easy to do.

Mr & Mrs Halight Happy Anniversary enjoy your meal tomorrow night.

Bargain Bird Your daughter is adorable

Beth Hope that things went well for your brother

Beemuzed I used to love Family Circle my Mum got me into it. Also Home & Freezer Digest from what I can remember

Have a pleasant evening everyone ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one.

Ruby do you want to swap DD2 has come home with a letter for a spanish trip 4 days £395:eek: it all seems so expensive we are able to pay in instalments so should make it a bit easier

Its a good job they give us lots of notice, we have been told around £200, but could be more :rolleyes:

Beth, hugs to your DB today xx

Squiggly, good luck in your garden xx

Halight and Mrs Halight, Happy Anniversary :beer:

Afternoon,

Raining here then sunny the next, OH got the beds stripped and has tried to hang them out twice but rain keeps beating him!lol
HM lasagne again for lunch with Beef burgers, mash and veg for tea.
OH has started laying the laminate in the house so it's all coming together now. He has also nearly finished flooring the loft which is fantastic as we have really needed the storage. Furthermore he has converted the boxroom into walk in wardrobe for me:jWhat a star..crikey I should be posting on the DIY thread at this rate:D

Think it will be ironing tonight and a quick catch up on the paperwork. I have to get my car taxed on Sat but only putting 6months on cos I am doing a part exchange with 'Dad & Mum Autos'. Getting Mum's car at end of month for a swap of mine plus ££. Much cheaper than buying new and at 0% finance:rotfl:

So glad it's Friday tomorrow been a very long week, anyone seen Sybil?
Happy Anniversary to Halight
Hugs to those in a struggle and hello to the newbies; nice to see the OS Clan growing! x

Happy anniversary to the Halights

Bargainbird - your children are adoooooorable - such pinchy cheeks - do you resist.

trying day at work today - the person who was supposed to help me do something i'm not very well trained for decided that "help" translates as "stand over and hassle" - if I wasnt so new he would have got what for!

my bike has decided to go wrong too - about a third of the way through my 10k commute the gears decided to go all unresponsive and i struggled home on very low gears indeed. Oh well - bus tomorrow then.

tonight's tea is well under way - egg and bacon salad - sounds like wrongness but is lovely and a favourite in our house
