OS Daily Friday 11th May

Hardup_Hester

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for 11th May. This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chatabout everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring andmotivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things we’re going to dotoday 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!) andjoin 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 awarethat many people may have small screens, or slow internet connections, soplease 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 othersthat don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly butif not it's not a problem. Please do not start a new daily thread before you goto bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two dailythreads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each newdaily thread after they get up in the morning.

Some people who chat here like to try to answer everyone. Don’t feel you haveto though, a general “hi everyone, hope everyone’s well” type start does justas well.
Morning all
TFI Friday, it's been a long week even though it's only been 4 days!
Hubby's working Saturday & Sunday again this weekend, though hopefully only for a few hours, it a GP weekend so I'll need to record it if he's going to miss it.
DW is on, not enough stuff to put the WM on, so I'll do that tomorrow, it's supposed to be sunny here at the weekend, that would make a pleasant change from all the rain we've had lately.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs Hester

Morning Hester,
I can see a bit of BLUE SKY here in Essex:eek: Forecast for the weekend seems hopeful so will put the WM to good use! I don't really have the space for indoor drying in this little cottage so everything backs up in the wash bin until the weather improves. I read somewhere that pinecones are good weather indicators. As I my garden backs onto a forest, I picked up a few cones and hung them from the cherry tree outside the back door. Apparently, if the weather is going to be good, they open their 'arms' and keep them tightly closed if rain is forecast. Trouble is, they do it AFTER the event i.e. if we have a sunny day, they wait 24 hours and then open up. Likewise, it has to rain for a bit before they realise and shut up shop.:rotfl:
Must put a chicken in the SC to poach before I go to school today. As a rheumatoid arthritis sufferer, I can just about make it to Friday at school. Anything more energetic than putting a salad together on a Friday evening is asking the impossible:o
Am hoping to be able to get some work done in the garden this weekend. The veg are way behind where they should be and the greenhouse is overflowing.....
Have a lovely Friday

Good Morning Hester, Lillibet and all to follow.

Yes a little bit of blus sky here and no rain :j hope the weekend forcast is right, DS is playing football at a funday tomorrow so fingers crossed it stays dry for that.

Plans today - need to go out at some point to pick up a lorry but no idea at the moment what time that will be so going to get all the essential stuff done in the office then hit the housework.

Just about to put pork belly in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Will probably service with roast pots and veggies.

Lots of washing needs doing as does the ironing. Also all the windows need cleaning! Think need to sit down and write a to do list before I start :rotfl:

So nothing exciting here, Happy Friday to everyone.x

Morning everyone,

Persisting with rain here again today. Very busy day moving out of our house, most of it done yesterday and put into storage, so should be done by lunch time. Just hope the purchase on the new house goes through OK and I'm not 'homeless' for too long!!

Have a good day everyone

Morning all,

Yay the sun is here :j:j seems really strange looking out of the window and not seeing rain, I hope its nice over the weekend, so need to get some washing out.

Work today, but its so busy, its passing in a flash, then home later, will have a hoover through and a quick swish round.

Dinner tonight is pasta based, I have a few bits of bacon and mushrooms to use up, so will make something up.


Hugs to sistercas, Taplady and Adelight.

morning all. have woken up with yet another cold grrrr. I swear it's this weather. Just been going through the freezer and we are actually running low :eek: on the meat front still got a bag of chicken thighs, 3 packs of smoked salmon, 5 individual steak pies, 2 steaks, 4 pizzas, 2 packs hot dog sausages, 1 kiev and 1 turkey steak so not what some might call empty but certainly empty for me!!! Pleased to say all bread products now gone. If only I could say the same for my hoard of body lotions!!!

I have in the fridge 3/4 mr T finest carrot cake bb 6th May. Still tastes fine to me but really not going to get through it all. Do you think I can freeze it by the slice? I'm not overkeen on the icing so am wondering whether to bin the icing but freeze the cake.

Penny-Pincher!!

Hi Guys!

Ive still got a headache? Nurses have been and BP is a little low, so maybe thats not helping. Im hoping I will feel better after lunch as Id like to get out the house in the new wheels for some fresh air.

DD has started a healthy eating regime as her weight has increased. She wants to loose 7lbs. She has done herself scrambled egg on wholemeal toast with an OJ, apple and yogurt.

WM & DW are on and will be emptied soon. DD off to college. House clean and tidy.

Beef joint going in the SC on low for sunday roast with yorkshire pudding.

B-Cottage cheese on cracker breads with pepper dew peppers
L-Fish Pie
D-Jacket Spud with cheese and beans

Have a good day everyone.

morning all!

day off:j off to do my cleaning job this morning - be glad of a bit of extra dosh:)

A small bit of one of my front teeth broke off this morning - but I'm leaving it till after the weekend as I cant face the dentist yet again - been 4 times lately. Luckily it doesn't look too bad.

Washing blowing away on the line and more in the machine.

House reasonable. Bit of ironing to do. Might make a small crumble later as I've 3 wrinkly eating apples to use up.

Valza - good luck with the move x

Busy week next week for me so I'm taking it easy this afternoon and plan a bit of time with my feet up and my book:)

Take care all x

Morning All,
Sun keeps popping out here:T

WM on. Breakfast eaten. Weightwatchers is really working again for me. 4lb lost this week, and BP is still coming down:T Will see Doc next week if it is the same, maybe I can have my op at last!

DGD has asthma apparently:o inherited from her dad. She has a rotten cold and chest infection at the moment. Poor little thing....

Doing a mystery shopping job this morning at the Travel bureau in Tesco. Got to pretend to buy £800 worth of Euros, and see how I am treated! Get £10 for it, so that's worth it.:T
Going swimming too, to help with the weight loss.

Have a good day all!

Morning everyone

After doing b*gger all yesterday I need to play catch up today with housework.
Not sure what's for tea as H is working a bit late tonight.
Not loads of OS going on just te usua plod. Off to meet a friend and her baby for a walk in the park. Shall take Luna with me, who is in the dog house for being a PITA on the walk this morning. She's nearly 5 months old and clearly entering that teenage phase of knowing better than me <rollseyes>

Marie crossing everything for Kerry's return xxx

Hilstep hope DGD is better soon xx

Sistercas hugs for you, hope you re feeling bit brighter today xxx
