Daily thread for Tuesday November 28th.

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for xx (add date). This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything OS and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an OS natter. The more the merrier!

When you make a post, if you feel like giving it a title, that will help others that don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly but if not it's not a problem, we’re a laid back bunch here so you won’t hear any complaints.

Some people who chat here like to try to answer everyone. Don’t feel you have to though, a general “hi everyone, hope everyone’s well” type start does just as well.

  • Thanks for starting the daily, Amie. I've moved your post so it has a thread of its own which is how we usually do it.

    Good morning to everyone else too.

    Not much to say here. Still not very well so nothing very interesting to report. I had a cleaning firm recommended to me though and I thought I might give them a go as it's difficult to keep on top of everything. I was told that for a deep clean the minimum call out was for 5 hours for 2 women at a cost of £165. It sounded like they'd have done a fantastic job, but I think I'd rather have dust under the piano for now than part with all that!

    Have a good day everyone.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
  • Good morning Loraine and all who follow

    I'm a non-sleeper too but not as disciplined as you Loraine, I just log onto MSE.:rotfl:

    I'm a bit slack with my OSing at moment due to pain but still doing the best I can- breadmaker is always on and slow cooker is a godsend.

    Hope you all have a good day.

  • Morning everyone :hello:

    Looks like I have joined the insomniac club! I don't know why I am up so early cos I feel tired. :confused:

    Not at w**k today. Using one of the tips in Martin's weekly newsletters, I will be having my will drawn up today under the Will Aid scheme. So, I get a cheap(ish) will and charity benefits. Only the poor old solicitor loses out. Shame. :D

    DS got his braces fitted yesterday and now has a face like a condemned man. :rotfl: He thinks he will die of starvation shortly because he has been told to only eat three meals a day to keep his braces as clean as possible. :rolleyes: I know things will improve once he gets used to them but at the moment it like a dental version of "man flu" with him.

    DD goes away on her residential trip tomorrow so I will use some of my time today ironing her clothes and generally getting things organised for her. I know she will have a great time and it will be good for DS and I to have some one-to-one time for a couple of days.

    Well, off to do my paid-to-clicks and Pigsback comps.

    Have a tremendous Tuesday everyone. X

    Morning All

    Ok actively seeking a new job now. I can't take this place much more. They've just made a load more changes that will affect me without even telling me. I'm definitely getting out my contract and demanding to go back on the late shift. I haven't signed anything saying I will alternate between early and late shifts, so I don't see how they can argue. If they want to get funny with me, I can play the game just as well.

    I was hoping to stick it out till the summer, when I think another job will come up at the council, but I really don't know if I'll still be sane then.

    I'd miss all my contacts, and the job itself, it's just this place and the management. Oooh, I'm getting so mad:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Anyway, on top of that, I managed to spend £30 more than I earned last month, which I'm not happy about.

    Glad to see the OS book is ready - sis is going to order that for me:D

    Oh yes, my headlamp's broken too. The lense has vanished and the blub smashed by a pebble. Waiting to get the part from someone. Hopefully I'll get some news today

    Sorry for the ramble

    Mornin.

    AS usual I woke up early again. I don't know what it is, but no matter what time I get to bed I always wake up at about 5am. I will break that cycle this week with some 6pm-3am shifts, but its a pain all the same. It's hard when we have guests, because I get sleepy in the evening and start falling asleep.... anyway.I did manage to service the car and it stayed dry. Polished it too!!
    Today is another day off, and I think I will have to start to sort out the rubbish in the garage and take a trip to the dump.
    Tonight it's off to the cinema to see Borat, I hope it's good.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
