OS Daily Thursday 6th October

Hardup_Hester

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for Thursday 6th October. This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things 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 Old Style natter. The more the merrier!

As this is the Old Style Board, it would be appreciated if posts could include some Old Style content. Please be aware that many people may have small screens, or slow internet connections, so please don’t post large pictures, or clip art – links are preferred.

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. Please do not start a new daily thread before you go to bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two daily threads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each new daily thread after they get up in the morning.

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.

Morning all
I managed to spend most of last night in bed & not on the sofa, I'm really bored with coughing now & of the accompanying headache.
My living room is full of teddies in various stages of repair & every evening I flit between repairing the teddies & crocheting blankets.
It's time I made a start on breakfast & packups.
Have a good day everyone.
Hug Hester

Morning HH and all who follow,

Was in bed last night by 8 :eek: and up with DS at 5.30.
It's DD1's birthday today she's the big legs eleven :T. So today is mission bedroom - think (can't remember what is from) but d,d,dur,d,d,d,dur,d. When kids had gone to school i'll emptying DD1's bedroom (wont take long) painting sugared lilac, putting together wardrobe and chest of drawers, putting new bed linen on ready for when she comes home at 3.45;). Mum and Dad are coming over to help too. Also need to have a general flick round here. We're all going to Pizza E tomorrow night for her birthday too using mr t's vouchers :money:all 11 of us. Will take her cake with us . She also dosen't know about this treat .

So tea tonight will be goodness knows what yet.

Sick of the radio saying sunshine and showers (i don't put the washing out) so today it's all getting done.

Have lovely daysxx

Morning Hester, Bargainbird and everyone else - do hope you're feeling better soon, Hester xo

Been up since about 5, done ALL the ironing, cleared out cupboard under kitchen sink and sorted some hand-me-downs from our children to a friend's.

Persuaded DS (19) to get his a*se out of bed to watch DD this morning so I can go into town ALONE - got lots of bitty jobs to do, including getting a couple of storage boxes and going into CS - both of which are hard to do with a toddler in a pram.

Very windy here, rained a lot overnight, too, but not really cold. No washing going outside, will have to go on airer as I've used the TD a bit this week already!

Have a good morning all, hugs and kisses as required!

Morning Hester, Bargainbird, Cheapskate and all who follow,

Hope you get well soon Hester.

Really busy day today. Have to go to work all day and then back again till 9pm as we have a sixth form open evening, I wish these things were a bit more spread out, we had the year 6 open evening last week and we have a year 13 parents evening next week. Oh well, it pays the bills!

Not sure what I am having for tea tonight, I have made a pasta bake for the children and OH can have the last of the chilli, I think that I will probably grab some peanut butter on toast.

Happy birthday to your DD Bargainbird.

Hugs to all that need them.

Have a lovely day everyone.:)

Morning all,

Bit cooler here this morning, but still very mild for October :T, hopefully the heating will stay off a while longer.

Work again today, fish cake chips and beans for dinner, nice and quick and cheap too.

Need to do a wash tonight, and I have my shopping being delivered.

Have good days all xx

Morning all, before and after!

Busy day yesterday results in a clean and tidy larder and a Mr S delivery today. I'm also waiting for Santa to come. My parents have very kindly bought the boys a new activity centre which should be delivered some time today. I'm really looking forward to seeing their reactions to it.

I think the streetlights may be off now so I shall let the boys out to the loo and see about my breakfast. The DW is on and the WM won't be far behind it ...

Hope everyone has a good day.

BagainBird -Happy birthday to your DD

I was awake early but didn't take pup for a walk like i should have....We're having peanut butter on toast for breakfast instead. (pup keeps getting his stuck to the roof of his mouth)

Need to pay a bill for OH but they don't put any payment details on the letter!! :mad: so will need to call them later and probably get an earful for being late....

My lunch is a bolognese pot thing, with fruit salad for snacking.

OH says he will be home tonight. so he can have gammon for dinner, I will have something.....not sure what.


Have a lovely day all

Morning everyone

Overcast, windy and much cooler here today. DH up and off to work at stupid early o'clock.

Dinner last night was delicious lamb casserole with dumplings, mash, and veg. Think I'm going to make lasagne this afternoon and a loaf of HM bread to accompany, DH and boys can have chips with theirs I'll have salad.

Watched Pride of Britain last night always makes you realise how lucky we all are.

Boys now ready to leave for school/college. Need to go and get myself sorted as going to colleagues funeral today, meeting my other colleagues at work so we can take as few cars as possible and we're all together. Not sure how I'll feel when I get back - so may or may not do very much for the rest of the day.

Have a great day everyone, hugs to those that need/want them, take care.
