Morning Tru and all,

I am ashamed to say ive just woken up. I sleep so much better when hubby is at work and i make up for the sleep i lose during the weekends midweek. I really didnt want to get up this morning but the dogs needed me to.

Went to my GP last night and as i thought, another tablet has been added to my list of daily medication as my bp is still too high. I'm on a beta blocker now (to slow my heart rate down which isnt high but it works on the bp apparently).

Did most of my bits and peices yesterday but i need to go to the chemist to pick up my medication this morning. I need to pop into the post office too to to send a couple of parcels.

I'll probably spend this afternoon asleep from what i was reading about the side effects of these new pills.

Have a great day everyone

Morning all,

Many thanks for your comments about my problems, I didn't think of the council nmlc so I will see about talking to them when I can. I hope the funeral goes well.

In work at mo, haven't done anything at home as washing is caught up with just got ironing to do and I'm ashamed to admit it but the message is still there. I will clean it tomorrow I promise.

The sun is out here today so watered toms and radishes, I think I have some more strawberries growing and I must cut the grass tonight when I get home.

Monnogran, thank you that did make me laugh :rotfl:.

Topsy, congratulations on getting the job you wanted.

Hester, it sounds like you are constantly having problems with your work colleagues, they sound a right bunch! Whenever someone has a go at me I imagine them sitting on the loo (I know, not the nicest of thoughts) but I then just can't help grinning at them regardless of what they are saying. I can't take anything to heart whatever the problem if I do that.

Hope everyone has a good day

Moorhen - healing vibes

RedRuby - isn't it fun when you can't get a doctor to actually take you seriously :mad: hope you feel better very soon

Hugs to all - Judi, sorry you have another tablet, Hester, you should write an autobiography! nmlc - hope it goes well with the vicar

Anyone I have missed - lots and lots and lots of hugs

Yesterday for tea we had exactly what I planned - cheese soup! This is unheard of, I am almost in shock. I never have housewifery plans work out. Tonight is looking like shepherd's pie. I will see how that goes. Evil cat is grounded - I let her play out and the wandering ginger tom with the intact furry dice chased her into the house. If he caught her, she is too old and frail nowadays to protect herself from the ginger thug, but a few years ago I would have let him catch her and get the very unpleasant learning experience.

It was supposed to be a washing day today, as the weather forecast earlier in the week had been promising. However not only has the weather forecast become less promising but the sky outside is definitely looking like rain, so I am going to get the clothes horse set up in the kitchen and get going. It isn't ideal, but at the moment the dining room near the dehumidifier is too full of clothes in piles to put the airer up (also four tyres, but that is another story) plus boxes of clothes already sorted etc etc.

Also we have water coming in from another house. It could be any of three houses as it is in the corner which intersects the one behind, the one beside the one behind and the one beside us. The wall has gone all spongy. I have no idea where to start. I suspect that some slapdash work on the one beside the one behind has cracked their shared drain, but due to the slope of the house it is below their cellar. I think I will be buying another dehumidifier and keeping it all crossed - we will never sell this house.

Also if I am going to get an approved food order I had better get it ordered as deliveries will be difficult next week - the road is being dug up. As my neighbour is working on cars and a fortnight ago he had a dozen vehicles of various types parked around the road, this will be interesting to see. I am keeping my head down and trying to organise any deliveries for this week.

So, normal for here. Hugs to all.

hilstep sounds tasty wish your relatives were feeding me :rotfl:
topsy congrats on the job
floss enjoy your concert
redruby *fingers crossed* you get better

Morning all. Floors cleaned and 2nd load in the WM, we got a new mattress yesterday and changed the bed so that's normal washing + a sheet, two duvet covers, blanket and loads of pillow cases to wash today :eek:
Quiche and potato salad for tea tonight. I made the quiche last night along with some bread rolls, bakewell cupcakes and baked potatoes for last night's dinner to make the most of the oven being on. Somehow my shortcrust pastry ended up being more like puff pastry

IT dept still need to come out to our office to install the new photocopier/al singing all dancing machine that now actually doesn't really facilitate our work and we're customer facing - someone didn't make sure the machines ordered suited all the depts!

nlmc - ditto. we had new photocopier/printer delievered yday. First off it went to the wrong office (our new one, god knows why we had one ordered a month before we move!), and once it finally got here the photocopier man couldn't make it to set it up. So he is here now and apparently this new one wont take the paper we have :mad:.

Pouring with rain today, and just had to go out and collect a colleague from the multi-story so am soaked! She works in our Cardiff office and didn't know how to get to our office from round the corner!

Office day today again, can't do much as printer not working.

OS wise - packed lunch made, freezer dinner, nothing else needs doing.

Have a good day all

Morning all.

I do admire all of you early risers who get up and get on with things. I used to be like that too, but these days I have to ease into the day gently and slowly with numerous stops for coffee before I am able to even start doing things. Sadly sometimes the 'easing in' takes most of the day. It's part of the aging process - well that's my excuse.

My baby brother is 67 today. What DO you get for males of this age? I am hoping that a CD and giant packet of Liquorice Allsorts will suffice.

Plans for today are a bit of decluttering, a bit of bedroom tidying, a session with the church magazine and a bit of gardening. It's a bit gloomy here so I'll leave the gardening till last in the hope that it will rain and I won't have to go out there. I did do the hand-wringing bit yesterday but that means that spade has to meet earth today.

My bread came out like a brick yesterday. I tried some new flour that someone gave me from a mill that they had visited. I usually use Doves flour, it always works for me and I find that the flour makes all the difference. Still make bread the OS way. I did have a breadmaker at one point but objected to the hole in the middle of the loaf where the paddle went.
Today it's a cottage pie from the freezer with carrots and cabbage, followed by the rest of the apple crumble from the weekend.

MH: Sorry to hear about your Mum's knee. If this was America someone would have been sued for that.

RR: Ouch! Mastoids sounds nasty. I do hope you get away on holiday safely. Stupid doctor.

Well, it was all supposed to be outside on the new promenade headland, and I wouldn't have seen the waltz as I would have been working on a VIP reception, but as the weather was so horrendous there was an "if wet, in the Tower Ballroom" plan B, so I got to see it I did get absolutely drenched going between the car park & the Tower though, but it was worth it!

Ditto that! I'll go and find a pink candle in a bit (the colour I use for healing people - I use brown candles for dogs) I hope you guys don't mind sharing a candle?:o

Topsy congrats on the job.:T

Sybil I spluttered coffee over the netbook at the "intact furry dice":rotfl:

Monnogran I agree, the right bread flour makes all the difference. I do use a breadmaker (my poorly paws won't cope with kneading by hand) and I get my flour from the monthly Farmers Market, from the same chap I get eggs from.:o In fact, the BM is rumbling away working on another loaf as I type!:D
