Morning Chickadee,

DH and I had chat about house yesterday as there was story about how crappy you feel when you get back off hols and want to make big life changes.

I laughed and said we are like that each time we get home from anywhere and i think its the house, and he agreed. I've worked in a place with sick building syndrome and it was awful and our house has something like that too.

We can't afford to move, I can make more money working than doing a carboot for a day and work is busy at the mo so can't justify it. The loft is full, all rooms are full, needs decorating etc, so a plan is needed to bring some light and life and space back into it - especially as we are both S/E and are based from home

Sorry for hijack x

Hi Missy,

Hope you're bearing the cold well, it's freezing around,I'm sitting at work with a blanket on my lap:D. I wonder how it will be in December, I really can't wait to get my winter blanket out:rotfl: .

Anyway,how are the chicks? Are you getting ready for the new job? When is OH back?

hello my lovelies

I'm so sorry for my absence. Everything has been absolutely mental here, with me trying to get ready for my new job and leaving my old one!!! I have left the military today..... is a very strange and sad feeling as it has been part of my life for so long..... but i guess thats to be expected. I start my new job on tuesday, have an OU assignment due this week too, OH comes back saturday and the house is in chaos due to my constant fight with decluttering!!!

I can not believe this weather it seriously doesnt seem to have stopped raining for days on end here!! Although I dont mind so much when I'm all cuddled up on my sofa with my jarmies on (yes already!) and my blanket on with a cup of tea and a packet of milky way magic stars beside me.

Chick chicks are doing really well, have had lots of eggs, had 3 yesterday and today is the first day I have had 4!!!! I'm still not overkeen on them but am much more confident about sorting them out now.

Well thats my update, will go and check all your diaries to catch up. I hope you are all keeping nice and warm and dry!

Welcome back Missy.

Would you send me your chutney recipe pls??? I'm planning to make a hamper for Xmas but have no nice recipes .

Glad you've plenty of eggs, keep up the good works chicks:) though not envy you taking care of them in the rain, I feel like it's October not August!

hey kavics hun will dig out the recipe for you. It's OHs grandmas recipe with a few alterations, t's lovely. I have been busy in the kitchen the last couple of days, we have had hundreds of plums in the garden, all of which have now been picked and made into jam, need to reboil the jam though as it hasn't quite set. Made lots of cakes for the lads at work too, they went down a storm was really proud they all liked them!

Well its my first day as a civvi (civillian) and I am laying on my sofa, drinking earl grey (again!) not sure what to do with myself. Really need to tidy up as OH comes back tomorrow, and he thinks I'm a domestic goddess.....well I am actually..... but only when he's home lol.

One good thing about me running around like a loony and being all stressy for the past couple of weeks, I have managed to lose half a stone!!!! which on me is pretty good, and...... I tried on all of my pairs of too small jeans (about 9 pairs) and 5 out of the 9 look good! 1 pair is now too big... not sure how that happened!... and the other couple of pairs are still a teeny bit too tight, can do them up and everything they just don't do me any favours lol. Am going to keep at the diet as would love to lose another couple of pounds and go down a dress size rather than being an inbetweeny, so watch this space.

Great news on jeans:D!!! Keep up the good work, your OH will be very pleased to see the results I'm sure!

Thanks for the recipe Missy, looking forward to make my own chutney:). And enjoy your day as a civilian:).

missymoo81

.......and breathe

Well done on the weight loss, guess that means a few more things will be decluttered!

I've been working away, working at home, working in garden - we decluttered a big conifer with the help of our lovely neighbour and his chainsaw :j

Bin day today and lots of tat that can't be recycled or given to charity shop to go, sorted a few stacker boxes and some to shred and some to just recycle.

Living room looking good, just rest of house to do .

Have a fab day - nice weather to bike
