Morning all - up early to read important email and forward it on.
Welcome Luckystarr and very BIG HUGS to Lynnejk - sorry to hear your news.
Did nothing at all yesterday after we returned apart from sleep:o - it's a very long time since I went on a mammoth window shop! Although I did buy a skirt in M n S down from 27.50 to 7.99!!!
This morning's plan is
HHI
15 mins tidy
Build two shelf units
11 am sitting for ndn daughter and playing money games -
Then hope to have a couple of hours in the garden, reading if the sun carries on shining.
After that - catch up on the rest of last week. I hate being behind!
Have a good Good Friday everyone. xxJuly 16 £95/£200

Morning all:lovethoug:wave::wave:
Off to do paid stuff this morning, only 4 hrs so nothing too drastic.. Hoping the boys may do some of my list if I leave it in view:rotfl:
Hmmm.. yet as good as they are, I have a funny feeling it'll be shall we say "overlooked"!
Sending the biggest hugs to all those who are in need & :T to everyone I feel we're all doing wonderfully well this week.. Thanks for the inspiration x"There's a little witch in all of us"🔮🪬🧿DEBT FREE 06/2018Mrs SD’s Decluttering 2025 ⭐️ 🥇0 -
Morning all. Lynnejk, awful news, hope your DH finds something else soon.
Piggers - I don't think it's particularly rude to take a couple of slices of meat with you. Just have a quiet word and mention your dicky tummy!
I must get my derriere moving. I have caught up with emails and stuff on the web this morning and me and my doggies have had breakfast, so I must now get dressed. I might take the hoover upstairs with me and at least do upstairs before I go out.
Dog walking and church today and gardening.
Rambling over, have a good day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -

Piggers been discussing your curry issue with DH, hope you don't mind, and he thinks it would be perfectly acceptable for you to take your own meat. Actually he thinks the person doing the curry should cater for your dicky tummy as well, according to him it doesn't take a lot to just put a pot on for you and leave out all the curry ingredients - i.e. make a stew. He's been to someone's house before where they had four pots on the go, one that was non curry etc just meat in a very plain sauce, very mild curry, medium curry and very hot curry. I actually think it's very ignorant of OH's family not to consider your eating requirements. Actually if it's me I would go in with my own pot of food and eat that...lolMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Agree with this; much the same as catering for a Vegetarian- you invite guest; you cater for them or accept with good grace if they bring their own stuff, which, IMO is YOU showing great consideration to HER - you are saying you're happy to go (well:p maybe not) but that you don't want to put her to any extra trouble.
I would do a lot of 'I wish I could eat curry (whatever) it looks/smells delicious - but it REALLY disagrees with me - and I won't be so crass to bore you with the unpleasant details; It's really nice of you to invite me; may I have some of your rice and I have brought this to eat, as I don't want you to go to any trouble for me when you have been working so hard'Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Morning
Sorry to hear some of you had bad days yesterday
Today is turning into a very lazy day, but it is the first of the holidays. OH is on night shifts so he returned at 7 and I got up at 9. So far I have moved as far as the deck chair in the garden where I'm snuggled in a onesie and a fleece! I don't think today is going to be very productive although I have got the second load in the WM, the first on the line, last nights pots are away and the dogs and I have had breakfast.
Main focus for today will be to mow the lawns, after retrieving the lawn mower from the back of the shed.
I was hoping to pick up a few bits from various shops today but think done of them may be closed, so I'll leave them all until tomorrow and attempt a SFD.LBM = 07/09/13 Debt = £13339 (100% cleared)
