Daily Thread Thursday 30th Nov

AussieLass

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.

Goodmorning everyone,

Knocked off after lunch today. Just having some arv smoko. Made the chocolate weetabix slice and some wholemeal banana muffins. The slice is yum. I'll pack a muffin into DGS lunchbox tomorrow. There healthier. :rolleyes: Updated spreadsheet, ironed, put another load on the line and now going back into the kitchen to get tea prepared & sort out the menu for next week.

I have to go to town tomorrow to get some money out as I forgot on Monday. The guy is coming here tomorrow to finish off waterproofing the bathroom. Thought I"d nosy into the hairdresser while I'm there so she can work her magic. Compete waste of a trip otherwise.

I've decided to make a lasagne type dish with the eggplants. I've got some ricotta cheese in the fridge too so will spread a layer of it on as well. I'll let you know how it goes down tonight. OK best make a move. Have a lovely Thursday. Byeeeeeeeeeeee

Morning everyone!

AussieLass, I hope the hairdresser makes you look totally beautiful!

It's a windy morning here in N.Ireland. It'll do nothing to keep the hordes away from the supermarkets (one of which I work in). It has gone quite mad in the lead up to Christmas, and will get madder still before the Big Day has arrived.

Some of you enquired yesterday about where I got my organic/natural personal care products. I have started to use https://www.greenpeople.co.uk and am using their shampoo & conditioner at the moment - it's lovely stuff, though a bit pricey!! You can get a 10% discount off your first order (just have to remember to ask for it - I forgot...).

There is also a thread in the green and ethical board listing some discount codes:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=314415

I ordered from So Organic as the offer is for free postage - otherwise it's a hefty £4.50. The things arrived very quickly indeed.

And as for making lotions and potions myself...I've just realised that this optionhas been staring me in the face and I didn't see it!! There is lots of information in the mega index about it, so I'll have a go at that.

There isn't much to report - all quiet on the Western Front as they say.

GinGin - I'm really sorry to hear your news from yesterday. It's never easy regardless of the age of the person - and your poor grandmother, she must be totally distraught.

Think I'll jump back into bed for another hour or so. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all.
Got to sort out puppy first thing, then shower & pack lunch. (When I'm organinsed that's done last thing at night.) Then in to school early for some marking to make sure its not there to ruin my weekend.
DD Due over Fri p.m. for weekend so tonight, have to do my filing which is "arranged" on the office floor. Might see if DS fancies Sunday dinner with us, if so, more shopping needed.
DH is doing the vets run this morning, Cat's shots & Dog's claws. (We're rubbish at cutting them). Then he's picking up the next order of coal.
Must go, have a lovely Thursday everyone

Topher I see you changed your avatar. Is that your dog? He's so adorable. I love dogs. There are lots of cat people on here.

Snowy Thank you but there are limitations to what she can do. Miracle worker she's not.

Well back to the kitchen.

Morning OSers :hello:

I've just about recovered from Brownies last night *twitches nervously*. OH has decided I'm returning to my childhood. Within the last week I've been to Brownies -dib dib dib - AND read at DD2's school assembley (first time I've read at assembly since the 1970s :eek: )

Todays tasks include (in no particular order)

Clean the kitchen
MORE ironing
Annual pre-audit 'going over' of the cycling club accounts Hate that task with a vengence. I've been putting it off for ages, but OH needs them for tomorrow morning
Dog walk/swim/fly :eek: depending on the rainy and windy weather.
Make DD take a shower (or at leat chip off some of the worst bits of muck :mad: )

And at some point sit down with a cuppa and read my book for 20 mins.

Have a good day everyone and (((((hugs))))) to all who need them.

Good Morning all! DH has gone to w*** so I'm grabbing a "piece of quiet" with my cup of tea, before the children are up and it's noisy again!

Start of my weekend today, so lots to do. DH off tomorrow, but we have nothing planned, so may go out for a long walk if it's not too wet.

Singing tonight - last rehearsal before our concerts, so it'll be rubbish

Mushypeas - just found what I *think* is your site. It's fab, and I'll spend more time later. I have a professional interest in this subject, so found it very useful - thanks.

Have a great day, all! :j especially

Miss Peem - Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone!

What is it about the 4.30am wake up thing? - having the same problem myself.

Kyle - Am so envious of your Lush stash. Can't wait to get to my nearest one as I just have to bulk buy the Snowcake soap. It is sooo great.

Had a lovely day yesterday as DH was off work so we spent it shopping, with it being first day of my grocery challenge and PAY DAY!

Feel full of beans this morning and my knees aren't too bad so I'm going to try and zing the lounge and get into all the yucky, fluffy corners. Might even give the pc area a polish up. (Area that gets the most use in the house and gets the most 'crumbiest').

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone,

Happy birthday miss Peem xx

Well, today is the BIG clean!!!! os tonight is the night when i put up the Christmas decorations!!!!!! I have been wanting to put them up for ages, and i am really looking forward to tonight. DS and DD will help, but im quite particular where things go, so i suspect a lot of directions will be needed, buy we are all looking forward to it. Ive also bought myself an advent calender (first one with chocolate ever!!!! cant remember having one as a child??!!) so will be looking forward to that in the morning.
Have 2 little ones here, although one is at nursery in the morning, so i think i will give the little one a duster and she can 'help'. At some point i also want to get in the attic and get everything down ready for later (not doing it whilst the little ones are here, want it to be a surprise for them when they get here in the morning.)
WM is on with its first load (knew i would have 2 today, even though i didnt have enough yesterday, where does it all come from!!!????) and i have some dishes to do, so better get cracking before first one gets here.
((HUGS)) to all those who need one (or want one)
Have a lovely day,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
