dinner date via supermarket for some preserving sugar for tomorrow....romantic, huh? Every good date starts with a tripo to the ten items or less isle.
We have a dog sitter coming in in about 15 mins, to watch a movie with the doggies and read them their bed time story. When we come back we have to feed the elderly horses who have to have several meals a day and would normally have the last one while we will be out. Then I'll really be moaning.
Its not even like he needs to take me out to get me into bed to ''romance me'' ...we've done all that today, and after feeding horses in the flipping freezing night I'll feel like putitng a jumper on not slipping my clothes back off.
Michaels, even if we had heating it wouldn't be on yet, but it IS exceptionally chilly. And I would like to feel I had a choice!
We might cave and get an old boiler for the winter......:o:D0 -

That's no way to talk about foundinrates!:eek:It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
I'm in pain tonight...my own stupidity to blame though.
When I get stressed, I tend to go OCD over something, well last night I got stressed (long story involving a family member paying one insurance instalment for someone months ago and now said insurance company were wanting to take owed monies from his card, plus at the same time as I was trying to sort that out and cook tea, youngest two started going for each other), so started cleaning windows and frames....and standing on a chair to reach the kitchen window as it is over the sink.
Well today, I wasn't happy with the aforementioned kitchen window, so started doing it all over again (twice), only this time, the chair I was standing on which was already slightly broken, completely snapped and down I came right onto the sink unit.
So I now have bruised ribs and painful feet/big toes, wrists, back and have damaged my already knackered shoulders all over again....so the X ray I had on Thursday is probably going to be out of date.
The really stupid thing is that I have kitchen steps in my utility room, not 5 feet from where I was standing on the chair!
Oh and the window is still bugging me, I did go back up on the steps to finish it off (another really stupid decision bearing in mind I had only fallen a minute before) but I am still not happy....argghhh and now I want to re clean the bedroom window and frame I did last night too!
Re heating, mine will not go on before the end of October, no matter how chilly it gets. It's actually not too bad at the moment, 18 degrees in my bedroom with the window open (that also stays open all night until the end of September at least)We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

Yes, there usually is. It's a bit like sending a naughty child to a new school.:(
Dad managed to beat the system, though.... by dying before the trial was complete. 0 -

Hope the pain has eased this a.m.
Here, the Aga doesn't get a sniff of oil until mid-November at the earliest. Once the 'man' comes to clean the burners, that's it, it stays on until about April.
Until then, it's just logs and a big woodburning stove (but the logs are free, or very cheap) 0 -
Seems to me all three individuals were wrong. Your husband was in the wrong because he didn't understand his staff. People, including white people, come from all kinds of cultures. You can't assume that someone will know that "would you like to do X?" means "do X". It simply doesn't to me.
And the other trainee is in the wrong because he saw both his colleague and his boss working late into the night, and didn't volunteer to join them.
It is made pretty clear to everyone while they are at university and at bar school or law school that the answer to any polite request to jump when you are training is "how high?"
The other trainee isn't in the wrong, honestly. You'd kill yourself if you didn't go home when told to do so, because you'll be the one working late quite enough of the time....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

We're in Kent for the weekend, at my parents' house. It's a lovely, sunny day, and Isaac's gone with my Dad to the greenhouse to examine a spider's web, and the rest of us are having a second cup of tea and contemplating a gorgeous Sunday....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

that sounds lovely. Its very heavy rain here, and we're off to start a pre winter tidy of the barns having pulled out all the sunflowers.
Then pull in the dead trees DH got down yesterday.
I'd really like to change our electreic fencing now, because its wet and the ground is just staring to get chopped up, but there is too much goodness in the grass, and at least one of them would be at risk of laminitis so that looks like being pushed back for consideration next weekend!0
