OS Daily Thread Friday 24th January

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



TGIF, finishing time today can't come soon enough.

Need to write a job list for the weekend because I have tons to do and nothing seems to be getting done as am so tired all of the time. Maybe I will sleep tonight.


No idea what is for dinner so it will be freezer lucky dip.


Need to get going or I will just go back to bed!


Well wishes for all sick people and pets and hugs for those that need or just want them. Keep well, warm and safe and have a super day

Good morning Friday

DH has today off work, we're going to M&S to spend a voucher and my Christmas money this morning

So we're just getting ready, I need to make pizza dough this morning (I'm making mini pizzas for DD1s lunches).

Tonight for dinner is Bratwurst, HM Tzaziki, chips, onion rings and fresh rolls!

DH leaves early tomorrow, so it's a nice family meal

Hope everyone has a great day x

Good Morning all.
Well as TTFTM said TGIF. I too an looking forward to finishing tonight. It has been a long hard week mentally and physically.
dinner tonight ...well i dashed out the door this morning forgetting to see what was on the meal planner so will have to see when i get back from work now.
looking forward to a lay in tomorrow if my body lets me (why is it when you dont have to be up early , you wake up and cant go back to sleep) then a day of pottering getting things done as DH has a 17 hour shift at work.
Hope everyone is keeping well and hugs to those in need xx

Good morning all
Had a better sleep last night after taking sleeping tablet. About 5 hours. Still not perfect but better
TTFTM - hoping today passes quickly and you have a relaxing weekend x
JG - enjoy your day today before DH goes. My OH works away too and it can be tough so thinking of you x
NPM - hope you can make some headway with LA. That's a disgraceful report and I too would be furious. I hope with many people by your side you can fight this all the way and sooner rather than later x
HH - tell your boss your gp has banned you from lifting and let him/her organise someone to do it, that's what they get paid for. If you run out of paper go back and say run out of paper?
Plans for today are not a lot but will include putting on a load of washing, getting son to Hoover stairs, got appt at doctor at lunchtime so hoping we can come up with a plan of action for me, have to nip into supermarket for kids dinner (next to gp) then home for a sleep probably. The slightest effort to do something results in me having to have a nap
Hope you all have a good day x

Morning All

Had a better night's sleep but still feel totally drained of all energy. Must make an effort to do more exercise to see if I can feel better.

Not much happening here, washing on airers again, DD seems to have lifted her floordrobe and put it in the wash basket so I will wade my way through it. Can't wait for some decent weather to put stuff on the line outside.

Another one here who is glad it's Friday - seems to have been a fairly long week somehow.

Take care. XX

Morning all,


Another one who is glad its Friday its been a long week here too. Off to work for me and uni for DD, OH has had to take the day off work the exhaust on my car has been getting louder and louder I was hoping to make it through till the weekend but on the way home last night it got worse, OH had a look and its one on the clips has rusted right through so is un - driveable for now
the OH will try and get the parts and fix it today, fingers crossed he can, and save us a few bob.


Steak sandwich for dinner tonight something veggie in bread for dd. Will also put a wash on.


Hugs to all in need xx

Morning everyone

Hugs to all those that are feeling sad/poorly x

Now light, sky looks quite clear and it looks to be drying up a bit underfoot, and it's cold and frosty.

DH up and gone to work. DS1 still in his pit. DS2 getting ready for school.

Dinner last night was chicken cooked in gravy with onions, mushrooms, veg served with new potatoes, carrots, brussels and peas. Last of Victoria sponge for those that wanted some. Dinner tonight will be something quick and easy with chips, possibly chicken and bacon kievs/breaded/battered chicken steaks. I will be having mushroom omlette and salad or fish and salad.

Was reasonably productive yesterday, got the washing, drying and ironing mostly done, still have a few bits on the airer that hadn't dried and a load in WM that's ready to go on the airer. There may be enough to make up another load later. Did housework and also organised a new pc as ours is just so out of date - so will be without a pc for a few days next week - how will I cope? Then hoping it's all going to work ok once I have new stuff installed.

Today will be spent doing all the normal chores, shortly I will be heading to the bank, food shopping, then home to get shopping put away then need to do some cooking/baking as DH is not working tomorrow but I am just for the morning then as soon as I get in, I need a change of clothes and straight out to a caravan meeting. I said I'd work not realising this meeting was this weekend, so it was too late to find someone else to do it - we're so short staffed everyone has plenty of their own Saturday's to do without covering anyone else's, so finding cover is becoming more and more difficult. Anyway it's a bit of extra money, it's always welcome. Working again on February 8th.

Payday today so finances look somewhat better - if only in short term until the DD's start hitting the account from the 1st. In reality though we will see a difference straight away as 2 x dd's have now been either got rid of or dramatically reduced, just these will make a big difference to how much is being paid out of the account. Will be using the money that we are now not spending on those to get a few other little bits paid up - shouldn't take too long as they are small amounts - got the biggest and most expensive stuff sorted first. Then we're going to start saving some each month with a view to making lump sum overpayments on our mortgage, we are in a fixed rate deal for another 2-3 years so would like to have it reduced a bit by then as you never know what's happening job wise or with the interest rates.

Have a great Friday everyone x

Keep safe and well x

Morning All,

Didn't sleep well either:o Didn't drop off until 2am:eek:
Went out at 8 to put the bin away, and get some milk as we have MORE rain coming today and over the weekend.

Going toa Burns Night dinner tonight, and out to a friend tomorrow, so I only have to cook Sunday.:T

Put some of my dresses and jackets on Ebay, got bids already, so that's good. Given loads to the local Hospice shop too, and they are selling well, so that makes me feel good.

Had a letter from the hospital yesterday. Blood and urine tests were normal, which is good, because levels would have been raised if the cancer had come back.:T

Have a good day all. xx

Good Morning all,well I have done the school run and my 'big' shop (not that big ,but big for me :)only spent around £30.00 odd but no more to buy this month at least :) History club this afternoon and we're doing the London blitz which should be interesting.
Still a bit sniffly and sneezy but hopefully the worst of the cold is over with.
A bit of ironing to do later then two days free to do what i feel like :) if its raining (which is forecast ) I shall be tucked up indoors with my knitting and some movies I have recorded to watch.No point going out and getting wet.
Bit nippy this morning although dry at the moment
I have a busy week next week so I am going to relax this weekend
Hope every one is warm and dry
Cheers chums JackieO xxx

Hi everyone,


I'm back home after a horrendous journey in driving sleet and hail yesterday. I feel very tired after all the running around with mum so I will take it easy today. I need to go out to the bank but apart from that I shall do some sewing and maybe have a potter with the old black and white photos again because I have got some more frames.


Change of plan, our bathroom radiator is leaking so DH has just rung and asked me to go and pick up a new one. He said it won't be too heavy but I don't know whether to trust him - he's a 6'2 ex-rugby player, so has a different perception of heavy to me!
