Morning

Its a beautiful day here, got up early, and have thrown all the windows open to air the place, dd is still in bed so will do hers later.

Thanks for all the good wishes re her biology exam, she said it was very hard, but she did answer all the questions, so we shall see. Hope all the others got on ok too.

First load in on the line, and is almost dry already : two more to go in, should get them all dry today.

We need to go and get a new flush thing for the downstairs loo today, and also there is a boot sale at dd's school later, so will go and have a look at that.

Might also pop into Lidl, I need washing liquid, and I like theirs, and its not a bad price.

I am going to make lamb kebabs for tea, with pitas and salad, will make dd some veggie ones.

Jayward, I hope you are ok hun, I have been thinking of you xx

Beemuzed, You have been through it lately, hope your ds is ok xx

Jackie G, good morning

Good Morning OS world!

Morning Redruby!:wave:

Gorgeous day up here. Back/side sore but determined to get into the garden today, we'll see..........

Boys are bickering, may choke one soon. DS2 is off to footie at ten, so that may save his life or my sanity;)

Need to try and get back on top of the housework, I did an online shop last night, but have no milk in, I went to the co op after school and picked milk up but seem to have come home without it. Cooked breakfasts today again, rolls and quorn sausages.

Have a fabulous holiday, Candygirl, hope it all goes well with Mr Meerkat.

Hugs to all in need, Diva you are consipcuous by your absence, hope you are OK, love.

Hi Guys,
Have been reading and thinking of you all - especially Jayward xx

We too are in the throes of exam angst! I have DD taking AS/ A2 and DS2 taking GCSE's. DD does not seem too bothered despite sending me a text yesterday saying "I failed". This has not stopped her planning a fun filled (and probably alcohol induced) weekend despite me reminding her that she has three exams next week. I have resorted to bribery with DS2 and have brought him a new game which I only allow him to have for an hour after he has done 2 hours revision in the dining room where I can see him. Im not sure its working but Im past caring as this is my fifth year (without a break) of exams and I have at least another two (without DS3 taking A levels):eek: Hey ho! I send all those parents coping with exams supportive hugs as i reckon its as tough on us as them.

Well OS has been notable because of it's absence. I have lost the will but keep on reading in the hope it will return when things have settled down. Im finding it hard to even put the washing in the machine at the moment. My freezer is running down so will have to look at sorting that when I have been paid. There wont be many more pay days for me as I have now been officially "terminated":eek: so no more midwifing for me. Very sad:(

Anyway I have to go and get dressed as Tes*0 delivery due and dont want to frighten the delivery man. Im hoping to go to garden centre later to get some plants for pots. Hugs xx

DH is at work - back in a while for his usual Saturday big breakfast! then after a sleep we're off to the scrapyard as we never made it the other day then popping into Hereford as we need a new mixer shower as ours broke mid shower for DH the other day. Also need a summer duvet as I gave ours to the dogs a while ago.
Sainsburys delivery later, veggie pizza for tea.
WM is on its second load - more to do as I've stripped the bed and am also doing the matress and pillow protectors.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend x

I've never seen this thread before so I thought I would come in and say hi

Got home from work yesterday and weather was lovely so I got out and cut the grass. Need to get out there this morning and do some weeding and the edges the mower can't get to.

BBQ for tea... Having lots of things from the freezer - chicken pieces, belly pork etc. and some store cupboard ingredients like savory rice. Tomorrow having another bbq for lunch, doing spatchcocked whole chicken in pittas with salad and leftover rice etc from tonight.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the sunshine

Morning All

Not managed to get on here for a few days, don't know what I do with myself.

Hope all those with children going through exams make it! I found alcohol and bribery worked well!!

Taplady - I think Lovelty is a great word and I am going to use it from now on.

JackieG - just watch yourself in the garden and don't overdo it.

JC - Good luck to OH, what a warm day for him to start!!

Weather fabby here, been to Asda already and also to farming shop to get the chickens a new water feeded, I broke theirs the other day!!

Had chap from wood preservation company round yesterday to look at the woodworm. The Home report I had done when I put the house on the market showed woodworm in the loft. I was expecting a huge estimate, but he said it should be about £300 so I am fairly happy with that.

Going to pressure wash the deck in a mo, once 4th load of washing has been hung out so that should keep me busy (and probably sunburnt!).

Thoughts are with those who need special wishes, enjoy your Saturdays!

Sunnyday

Hi Peeps :wave:

absolutely baking here today, the first two loads of washing are dried and put away and the last load has just been hung out on the line.

Houndies were walked very early and it was already too hot for little oldie, he had to lie down four times on the way home to catch his breath. He`s fine now that he`s cooled off bless him.

Marj drank about 20 litres of water last night from the hosepipe :eek:
she is such a mad crazy water obsessed houndie, she was absolutely soaking and in the end i had to lock her inside so that i could water the plants.

I`ve planted lots and lots of flowers so i`m hoping for a lovely mix of veg and flowers this year, hope i`ve room for the next lot which should be delivered later this week, i`ve some chard and beet seeds to sow later today when its cooled off a bit, i`ve been outside since six thirty this morning and i`ve burnt myself out a bit. An hour on the sofa is called for as its lovely and cool inside and then i can tackle the kitchen. HM pizza for tea tonight, the bases are made and cooling in the kitchen so not much else to do to them.

Have lovely sunny days everyone.
