O/S Daily Wednesday 16th December 2015


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.


Morning everyone

Birthday wishes to those celebrating a birthday, hope you have a great day x

Hugs and get well wishes to those that want/need them.

DH up and gone to work early. DS1 now getting ready for work. DS2 still in his pit, will wake him in a bit.

Still dark, lots of laying water and still raining, still feels mild.

Dinner last night was gammon, new potatoes, peas and green beans. I managed to get the gammon into the oven as soon as I got home from work, so that was cooking whilst hairdresser was here and I’d managed to get everything else prepped and ready to be cooked before she arrived, once she was ready to blo-dry my hair I put the potatoes on and everything was ready once I was. Tonight I’m not sure what we’re having, maybe spag bol.

Work yesterday wasn’t too bad, we had times where we were busy. I had some training on some new machines that are being installed over this weekend too. Not sure I can remember any of it, it’s one of those things where you need to be using it regularly to retain the information – that’s what I’m hoping anyway! Working just until lunchtime, then I must get my xmas cards written and sent, not sending that many. I also need to marzipan my xmas cake and wrap some presents, so things to do.

Keep safe and well x

    Csarina, I'm sorry for your loss and am thinking of you & your family. I will think of your son along with my parents when I go to the "Absent Friends" service at my local church.
