Morning All

:TCongratulations Lou Great weight too!:T

Raining here. Hope it stops for later. Hastings day today. Going to Old Town tonight for a meal with friends. It was Jamie's birthday yesterday, so we are going out to a new rtestaurant which is supposed to be good, then watching the Hastings Bonfire Society fireworks display. Should be good:T

Had DGD last night. She is a poppet. Hates baths though:eek: OH managed to do it in the end. She slept from 7pm to 7.30am, so can't complain about that!

Arm aches a bit today, must be getting better:rotfl:

Have a good day all!

Congratulations to Lou xx

Am feeling a bit fragile this morning, went out with OH and friends last night, and had too much wine

Was up early and am on 3rd load of washing - bright and breezy here so washing line now groaning...

Need comfort food so dinner likely to be sausage and mash.

Got Monday off so will wait till then to go shopping.

Off to sort out the woodburner and I am freezing.

Have a good weekend all x

Morning all , bright and sunny here. Dog and kitten walked and fed, have been up ages , watching telly and decluttering lounge. Why do we have so much stuff. We're going to see DD's BF's new house as we have to take a chair over for him. DD has decided not to move in until she has a job as she wants to be able to contribute her fair share.
need to do food shopping at some point but have no ideas what to have for tea. Must make a meal plan. Hugs to all in need, Bitsy enjoy your family day out.
Massive congratulations to Lou and family, hope you are both doing well.:j Would love to see a pic if anyone could do a FB link. Is there a FB group for OS thread? Have a good day all.:)

Morning all
Many congratulation to Lou.
Molly, sorry it took me so long, I kept forgetting, hope some of it is useful.
I've been up since 7:30, a lie in for me, so far I've done cooked breakfast for hubby, dropped him at work, loaded DW & WM & set both going, been to Drews (a fabulous hardware shop in Reading) to get stuff for hubby for work, been to the butchers, bakers & chemist for the weeks shopping. I bought a piece of beef for lunch tomorrow, a piece of ham for sandwiches, sausages & lambs liver, hopefully that will do us for the week.
I'm picking hubby up at 1 when he finishes work & we will go to the garden centre for fish food. Then home to watch the GP with a burger inna bun.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs Hester

Dont know where else to post this! I looked on the big indexes at the top of thr OS board, but the link wasnt working for what i need!

I want to clean out my washing machine. Normally i would do a 90 wash, or use something like calgon.

Does anyone have any ideas for home made stuff i could use please?

It's not homemade, but TBH I just use a bottle of cheap vinegar in a 90 degree wash one month, then a 90 degree wash with 1/4 pack washing soda the next. Works for me!

Thanks thriftynifty, i'll give that a go. I just want to prevent that horrid musty smell you can get from a washing machine, IYKWIM?
Thanks again

Hi all

One extremely tired Wolf checking in – been into Central MK today, and it always exhausts me.:(

Bitsy thanks for the heads-up on Lou; and to Lou congratulations, well done, and enjoy your new son.:o

BB I really hope poor little Maud is on the mend now; bless her, it's been a long old haul.

NPM hi, my friend, good to see you delurk for a bit.

Got some nice bargains from the F&V market in town; poor old Mr LW has just spent an age prepping two lovely pineapples - I freeze the pieces and use them on HM pizza.

My freezer is now full to bursting, and I've been playing Chinese Puzzles to get everything in!:D

Bless him, Mr LW has volunteered to make omelette for our dins:A - I'm having to eat all soft food at the mo, as I have a bumper crop of mouth ulcers; I shall be digging the soup recipe book out, I think.

Finally got an appointment through to see the rheumy - I thought she'd signed me off without telling me, but when I saw the GP the other day, she (GP) said that wasn't the case, and that she'd chase it up for me - so I guess she's put a foot behind them.

Anyways, I need to go check my email, which I haven't done yet today - before I fall asleep on the sofa!!:eek:
