OS Daily Saturday 3rd April

awwwwwwwww thanks so much for your support over my make-up parties guys, you have really given me a boost - I think we call it enhanced disclosure here too, i'm just not that tehnical.

I am so lucky, I work for the NHS and get double pay plus lieu for working a bank holiday. I think everyone should.

jc2703 - I already do bridal make-up (I used to do loads 3 years ago but had a break when i finished uni) and make sure my prices are the lowest in my area. I was doing some market research last night and someone in my area charges a bride £60 for a trial and £120 on the day. What a rip off!!!! I agree that it is so hard to find someone reasonably priced so I hope this will be my selling point.

About the gym - I pay a riduculosuly high monthly fee and haven't been since december so i hope this makes some of you guys feel better!:A

I am at work until 3.15pm then plan to make a shepherds pie from storecupboard/freezer stuff. I meant to do it last night but I was too exhausted! Th sun is shining now but it was so cold this morning that when I left my house my chihuahua was shivering (I felt sooooo guilty), although Mum is collecting him later and I put the heating on which willh have kicked in. Love to all xxxxxxxxxx

Morning all.............((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))) if you need one.

The forecast frost overnight did not arrive but rain did, its stopped and the sun is shining, a bit weak, but its there. The farm road has puddles so we know its rained.

OH isd going to try to cut the grass at the back, its so thick it feels like a sprung ballroom floor when you walk on it. We then need to treat the moss and then re- seed.

Not sure what I am going to do except lay the fire for thisd evening in the woodburner.

Hopefully we will go for a short walk across the estate this afternoon, having walked most of the winter, since we came here it has fallen off.......we have had so much else to do. There is no law of trespass in Scotland, so you can walk anywhere.

I sat last night and unpicked the heading tape from the curtain for the boot room door, I now have to trim the side with the damage and then remake the curtain. Might get that done later.

I need to see our LL. I have discovered what to me looks suspiciously like woodworm activity in the bathroom boarding.....eeeeekkkkkkk at the moment I have only found the holes in the pieces on each side of the window; we need to get it sorted before it goes any further.

OH is off out to the veg garden to put his onions in, we have to set the wire netting into the ground to keep Mr Bunny out and off my veg.

jc has your son tried getting a quote for his insurance with himself as main driver and either you or his dad as a named driver. That brought our son's insurance down quite a lot for some reason. It's quite handy too that DH can drive it occasionally (we swapped cars this weeks so that DS could get to work while his was being MOT'd and serviced).

Thats what we have done! it was £600 more before that :eek:

Morning All,

Damp start in Manchester. I have had a lie in this morning. Need to make the most of them while I can as back at work on 12 th April so I am on countdown:D

Its strange, when I discovered you all and the OS lifestyle I was off work and have been ever since. It worries me a bit keeping uo with it but I guess I just need to be organised. There is no way I am going back to my spendthrift ways, plus I want to take my lunch every day as the canteen is expensive and awful.

Football today for us, Man U V Chelsea so something easy like Chilli out of the freezer.

At a friends this evening so I will make a chocolate cake to take. Also the house needs a clean and a tidy. Hangs her head in shame as the bathroom didn't get done last week:o so must do that today.

Definitely going to start walking again as well. Havee DGS this afternoon for a couple of hours so will take him for a walk, rain or no rain:D

Have a good day peeps x

(I have found SWI""t cover the cheapest by far for our 20yr old)

Morning all,

Had a nice lay in again this morning, dd had her best mate for a sleepover last night, she is a lovely girl very polite, and calls me mum 2 and my dd calls her mum the same , I am glad that they are so close :T they are off to town later, but my dd has strict instructions to ba back by 6 for Dr Who :T

I have some smoked mackeral for tea, with some salad and bread and butter, might pop into Lidl and see what seafood they have on offer, might look for a recipe for lentil pate for dd.

I have a wash in the wm, will get that on the line for a blow, although we are due rain later.

Got a big piece of beef out of the freezer for lunch tomorrow, have not had beef for a while so looking forward to that.

This morning we will put a quick coat on dd's ceiling, will be glad once its done, and later on will pop out to get the wallpaper for her room I was a bit :eek:at the £15 per roll cost, but this is one of the cheaper ones, someone I know paid £1000 for one wall :eek:

Ok better get on, have good days all xx

Morning everybody,hope your Easter is going to plan so far.My DH is working most of it though I'm hoping he'll finish the job and be able to have Monday off.He's putting a new lounge floor in for DB1 and SIL,and his back was killing him last night!His neck is much better tho' since seeing the chiropractor,and headaches and dizziness have gone.He has 3 more sessions next week,then a review.

So I'm left to my own devices over Easter,though he is coming to football this afternoon.Yesterday I cooked a large silverside joint in the slowcooker,so we'll have that for tea,with lots to freeze.It was one of the half price Coop ones from a while back that I froze-the last one was delish.

I'm going to walk to the shop for a paper in a mo,and I'll have to buy a loaf.DS1 appears to have come in from his night out,had some toast but left my hm loaf out and its like a brick :eek: I can't do any in time for lunch,and with going to footie I'll have to put the timer on,otherwise it'll get soggy in the pan.

I fell asleep on the sofa wrapped in my new crotcheted blanket,sooo snuggly,but I think it does need to be a bit bigger.There is plenty of wool left,but I shall join each new row as I go,my hands and wrist were aching doing it all at once.

Have a lovely weekend.xx

Good Morning all ,well the weather here at the moment is sunny but its forcast to be wet later on so I may just bung out a quick wash in the hope it will get a bit of a blow.Eldest DD is due to pop in this morning for coffee and 'strangled eggs' youngest one is working, but I will see her tomorrow.
Topsyturphy I started researching my family tree back in 1976 and I'm still at it .it is a bit like a large jigsaw puzzle that you can never complete.In those days there was no internet to use and it had to be done the hard way by writing letters to at first anyone in the telephone book with the same name as your own I was lucky that my maiden name was an unusaul spelling so that helped quite a bit.It a facinating hobby and I have discovered all sorts of folk from all four corners of the world over the past 34 years some of whom I have met and some I wish I hadn't bothered to meet ,but thats another story
All's well at the moment here in kent and my DD has just rang to say she will arrive any minute so I'm off to get the coffee pot on ,be back later I expect
Cheers JackieO xx

Molly - We did that with the haribo recently! They have an amazing array - I bought back kilos of it, some of which go posted to the US. I do have a blog post about it and what I built from it, but I don't think I'm allowed to post a link here. There is always much excitement up here for the boat race - and, quite rightly so, you'd get royally lynched for supporting Cambridge
jc - that's a mad amount for insurance, but very glad you managed to bring it down. I learnt to drive when I was a bit older and I've only ever insured bikes so it never ceases to amaze me how much they try to charge.
Rosyred - I love the feel of handmade blankets - I have one over the sofa (which could also do with being a bit bigger - but I never got round to stiching up the last few rows)

I thought the "washing people out of the family" thing was another odd German thing - I didn't realise people did it here too! OH's mum doesn't wash between Christmas and New year. I wish they'd told us that before I turned up for two weeks with just hand luggage _pale_

My sister has moved house - which is great as the outlaws now don't know where she is. She was getting much hassle from the out-laws though, which is really sad - they just don't understand that despite everything there is a LO involved, so they should just lay off. They are so money oreintated and were more concerned about the fact that exBiL had stacked up a huge amount of debt (not her - we've cleared everything she is liable for). When he was taken inside, he stopped the rent payment for example, then text her the day before to say he wouldn't be paying it. She is a SAHM of a young child and he was the breadwinner so she had no access to cash because she wasn't allowed any. We sorted it with minimal hassle, but it's horrible that somebody would try to make things difficult for his son. So much stuff has surfaced now, it's acry and I am so glad she is out of it. She'd filed for divorce, which has caused all manner of hassle too. Looks like exBiL has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge (although still on which could see him inside for a fair while, I think you can still get life the main charge on its own - not sure what is happening with the others) but the date for sentancing has been put back.

Other than that, I'm going back to my fruit cake nightmare today. I have a folksy order to do; even though my shop is in holiday mode I have a wholesale type order to complete from a lady who uses my charms for things she suppplies to a giftshop and another email along the same lines to reply to.

Dinner will probably be toad in the hole, if i can find my kitchen under all this sugar. I did do most of the laundry yesterday :embarasse :undecided but I still have to tidy round a bit. We've started to house hunt, which is scary.

have a good day all, cel x

Morning all. Well, yesterday was the first day of my Easter Break, I don't go back to work til Wed 21st April. I love being part time!! :T. I was offered to work the bank holidays, which I would have got double time for (good old police!) but I declined as it would have messed around with my tax credits and I would have then been overpaid etc so it just seemed like too much hassle, plus to be honest I just prefer having the time off.

Yesterday was totally lazy, didn't leave the house. Weather is pretty foul so no need. Today I need to fill up with diesel (and :eek: at the price!), and check out a local cattery for one of my cats to possibly go in whilst we go away to Wales. She needs to have her medication when we're away, and its the only way I can think of that guarantees her getting in. Never used one before, so will be an experience.

I have a washing mountain to clear, and various chores to do. Tomorrow I intend to eat chocolate and not do a lot else all day!

Have a great day.

Good Afternoon!


Very late start for me today:o only got up about 45 mins ago. Feeling rested and refreshed. WM on, Washing on the line, oven on for some bread and biccies, and Hettie pulled out of the cupboard to get the cleaning done.

Not much else to say, DS1 off to a friends for the afternoon, trying to persuade OH to do the supermarket today, busy busy!

Have a great day, hugs to all!
