Time_to_face_the_music

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” is fine.

Good morning everyone

Not a good night with combination of heat and pain from arm. Will be trying to see if I can finish early or at least on time today because I think I am going to be exhausted by lunch time.

Salmon and stir fried bean sprouts and veggies for dinner. Cold omelette and sausages for lunches. DH was wonderful last night and did everything he possibly could to help.

I should not be moaning as I know some people live with pain like this every day and special respect, love and very gentle hugs offered - you know who you are.

Better get a move on as everything is taking me twice as long so will send well wishes to all sick people and pets and hugs for anyone who needs or just wants them. Keep well and safe and have a super day

Morning all
Off to work soon, let's hope the IT is working today, it's been unreliable since February, is this normal for schools or are we just lucky?
It's time I fed the fish, they are queuing up against the glass, glaring st me.

Good Morning all,the sun is up and blazing away already I have my gardener coming today to plant out some shrubs for me which will add some colour to my garden hopefully.he's such a nice chap and very helpful I sadly can no longer manage to do much out there and I hate to see it just weeds and overgrown.My DD had a 'flyer' through her letterbox and I phoned him up and we agreed a reasonable price and to me he is worth every penny once a fortnight to keep the plot under control
This afternoon I have a U3A meeting which looks interesting to go to as its a local councillor waffling and I love to see politicians when they get asked akward questions ,especially local chaps I went to the coffee morning yesterday and met some nice people there,it looks like the East medway branch will be a sucess as its up and running and there is a lot of interest in it.
Right time for shower,breakfast and school run
Take care everyone and hopefully you will all enjoy some sun today.I washed my sofa covers last night so they will go on the washing line as soon as I'm dressed
Cheers chums

Morning all,

Another scorcher :T long may it last, off to work for me. DD has the day off so will leave her some jobs to do, she can hang the washing and tidy the lounge and kitchen for me, I like coming home to it all tidy, in return I shall drop her off at the party she is going to tonight.

Dinner tonight is a chicken curry, I am not sure how wise that is in this heat, but I did the meal plan ages ago and its all made and in the fridge, just need to pop it in the oven when I get in.

FS how is your dd ? xx

TTFTM, you would have been better to take the day off.

Have good days all xx

Morning all, my alarm went off at 6.30 but I must have over snoozed as I've only just properly got up!

Shower, breakfast and a cuppa before work. Considering watering the garden before I jump in the shower as I don't do it nearly enough - its always too hot in the middle of the day when I think about it and I forget by the evening! Actually I will do it now before I jump in the shower.

Off to work shortly, hopefully I will be able to rest my voice a little today as I will be alone in the office although if its as bad as yesterday I will most likely come home early!

I had better go, plants to water and my lunch to make before I do anything else!

Morning everyone

Hugs to all those that are feeling sad/poorly x

Cloudy overcast and dull start to the day here, it's quite blustery too but not cold. Washing on the line. Plants to be watered.

DH up and off to work stupid early.

Dinner last night was gammon, egg, onion sauce, mash and veg, dessert from the tins/fridge. Tonight we will be having chicken with stuffing - it's one of those frozen breast joints ready stuffed that I can just cook from frozen - I bought it as a "standby" meal and it now needs using up - so will do pots, veg, gravy and yorkshires with it as we haven't had a roast for several weeks.

Only working until lunchtime - so will then come home and crack on - have quite a pile of ironing to do so will try to get that done as it's much cooler today and is then supposed to get really hot again tomorrow and into the weekend. Will also tackle the menu plan and shopping list - will have a look for something different.

Have a good day - remember the suncream if you're out in the sun!

Keep safe and well x

nmlc x

Good morning all,
Beautiful sunshine here again. Washing is out on the line.
TTFTM, hope your arm feels better soon.
redruby, dd is still in alot of discomfort but that is to be expected. She is still in alot of pain with her shoulder. It is where they filled her with air. Dr said that the air is pressing on a nerve. I asked her while we were still in hospital what she fancied for her tea. I sais i would cook her whatever she wanted. All she wanted was a plate of vegetables with gravy. She said she had missed her veg so much. She had two meals while she was in there because they kept putting her on nil by mouth incase she went down for her operation. She was walking alot more upright last night, still very slowly. Just lovely to have her home.
Work for me today. Hubby booked more time off work to be here with dd.
Chicken salad for tea tonight.
I hope everyone has a good day and hugs to those who need them.

Morning all:j:j

Sunny and warm here this morning.
Very hot day here yesterday, Forcast for a cooler but sunny day.

I'm not sure if its the heat, Or This Addison's. Or the fact that I had a Op five weeks ago, The for about the last week I have felt worn out, I fell asleep twice yesterday. Both for an hour at at time. I had 8 hours sleep last night and still feel worn out this morning when I got up an hour ago.

Today when I get myself together I shall be going to Aldi. We need and few things Inc meat.

Also today if I can get myself together enough I shall do some tidying up In the Garden.

iv been feeling very sorry for my two Cats the last few days, They don't know were to get because of the heat. They have spent there time flopping themselves down In the garden, Stopping there for a bit then moving on and flopping down somewhere else.

Dinner last night was stir fry, With the last of the roast pork.

Dinner tonight will be BBQ with salad. The girls will be eating at the same time as us, We will eat outside on the patio. The Girls love having a BBQ.

Well I hope that you all have a great day,

Enjoy :j:j
