I like NS too...and to think he was brought up not far from where I live!

MatyMoo

Thanks for the recipe May even try it tomorrow

Nightmare day at work today :eek:

Got home at about 7pm

Doesn't look like getting better anytime soon

Still,home now, and had a glass of wine

OH got fish and chips for supper . He has his daft 1am start job tomorrow, so has to go to bed by 8 :rotfl:And I had planned to cook, and didn't get back in time.

Still, it was very nice, if not exactly slimming :eek:

I will cook the chilli with all the trimmings that I was planning on Friday - tomorrow I won't bother. OH will eat at work, and I will be happy with toast! I do after all have some soup left to take for lunch

Not much to report on the MFW front. I seriously need to check the bank accounts. OH put yet more shelves in my new larder, and is agonising over whether they are quite perfect :rotfl:

I am waiting for one lot of sticky back plastic (to cover the shelves - lovely vintage pattern) to arrive, but got outbid on the other I will have to see if I can buy it from one of the DIY places locally.

The weather forecast is dire here :eek: rain and high winds again. It has just started pouring down, and I have still to shut up the chickens and greenhouse thingy

Oh well, better get on!

Coffee when I have done that I think, then bath and bed!

Got up early as I couldn't sleep. Must have been about 4.15 :eek:
Ready to go back to bed now, but gotta get ready for work instead .

Wet and windy outside, but it doesn't look as bad as the forecasters suggested. I went out in my long fluffy dressing gown and slippers a while back to let out the chickens - not a sight to be recommended first thing in the morning :rotfl:but none of the neighbours was around yet , and at least it wasn't cold. The only witnesses were some of the pigeons belonging to the neighbour one door down, who were bathing on our workshop roof (the pigeons, not the neighbour :eek:). They look funny, as they don't seem to need a puddle or anything to do it, they use the falling rain as a kind of shower, making all the same movements as birds in a birdbath or puddle :rotfl:

Hoping for a quieter day at work today.

Morning Dawn, hope your day goes better than yesterday. Think of the pigeons having a shower when things go downhill

Best wishes Tilly

Well, yesterday was a bit better, and today - well, at least it is Friday :j

No rain yet this morning so far, though the sky looks pretty black.

I got home a bit earlier yesterday and actually felt like cooking,so I made a chilli with lots of veg from the bottom of the fridge, which we had with sour cream, fresh coriander and tortilla chips. There is enough left for tonight as well, with a jacket spud

OH is taking a big pile of stuff that looks like scrap iron (though he assures me otherwise :rotfl:) to a farm sale. One of the major parts was stolen from the back garden a few months ago, so he has, thank goodness, decided to get rid of the rest of it. The garden will be loads bigger without a bit pile of rotting machinery in it. As you can imagine, I am not sorry to see it go - though OH will be. He had wanted to rebuild this huge machine :eek:

Hope the sticky back plastic I ordered from ebay arrives soon so I can play with my new larder and reorganise the kitchen

Oh well, better get ready for work now I suppose. I have made my sandwich for lunch - I usually take lunch but for some reason didn't the other day, and ended up paying £3.40 for a sandwich which was pretty boring and not very nice, in the canteen :eek: It is cheaper to walk into town to Tesco, and I think a lot of people do that since our catering was franchised out.

I need to get a new mortgage balance so will try to find time to do this today.

Morning, you have just reminded me that I meant to search for scrap metal companies near us. DH has had a garage sort out so we want to see what may bring in some £.

Sorry to hear you have a dark sky, it's dry, slightly sunny but extremely windy here.

Have a good day Tilly x

Dark sky? Ohhh thats not so good, don't want to rub it in but its only 9AM and its already shorts weather here.

DawnW

Well, it didn't rain in the end, but I wouldn't say it was shorts weather, as there is a chilly wind. Managed to bunk off work early-ish and went for a walk with OH and the dog Needed a jacket though!

I didn't get round to getting a mortgage balance - C&G don't 'do' online apparently, unless you also bank with LTSB :mad: so you have to ring each time, go through security, blah blah. You would think they were guarding against a mysterious benefactor who was plotting to pay off other people's mortgages :rotfl:

I will however pay CC2 off in full in a minute. No celebration here, as it gets paid off every month. I only use it for the nectar points

We had the rest of the chilli from last night, or almost - the leftovers are in a little pot in the freezer, for lunch at work one day next week.

The weekend weather is forecast not to be too bad. I understand we are now 'out of drought' in this area, according to those who know these things, but I don't think I will be needing my hosepipe anytime soon :rotfl:

Next week looks like a bit of a nightmare, as I am out of the office for 3 days in a row, with multiple meetings and at least one 5am start :eek:
