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
Morning everyone
Hugs to those that want/need them, those who are poorly and those who are looking after a poorly person x
Happy birthday to those with a birthday x
Still dark, dry underfoot but air temperature has really dropped.
DH and DS1 up and getting ready for work, I'm showered and dressed and enjoying my first cuppa and my porridge. DS2 settled and happy.
Dinner last night was HM shepherds pie, veg and gravy. Tonight I'm not sure but some LO's in fridge.
Work yesterday was ok, half day today, but working at the other office.
Keep safe and well x

Good morning everyone 😃
well I survived another night though it was not without some drama. Thank you all so so much for your best wishes for me. I was so overwhelmed by your kindness that I had a little weep.I am waiting for the morning ward round to find out my plan for today. I am so lucky, the doctors and nurses are fantastic here and nothing is too much trouble .
hope you all have a great day, love dumpling xxx15 -
Good morning, and thanks for starting NMLC.It's dry outside, seems to be an ok morning.I haven't had a bad night, by my standards anyway, I woke several times, but fell asleep again, miraculous.Today we'll be moving furniture about a bit so I need to be wide awake. The downstairs carpets and 3 piece suite are being cleaned tomorrow so we'll have to do as much prep as we can today. It's 6-7 years since they were last done, so I'm expecting a fair bit of muck to come out of them. We don't wear shoes in the house, and most of the time there's just two of us so I don't know where it comes from.While the man is here I think I'll ask him to give me a price for the stairs, we could have it done after the staircase is decorated next year.Yesterday I went into Newcastle to meet Dil, we had a good day and I bought most of the things on my list. It was pretty busy, plenty of people around.I've been thinking of Dumpling, and hoping she hasn't got any worse, and also thinking of our other poorly and convalescent people, Nelski and DP1's grandddaughte,and those with relatives who are ill. Good wishes to you all.Hope everyone has as good a day as they can, take care folks.15

Morning all up with the lark for me I am off to Bluewater with DD1 today last few bits of xmas shopping to get and I need some black trousers for the funeral tomorrow . It's very foggy at the moment and all the cars are iced up the temperature has really dropped . Paid our March holiday to the Maldives off yesterday so something nice to look forward to although the worry of testing positive is worrying me 2 separate families have tested positive on the forum despite having no symptoms at all . Right better get dressed like Nanook of the north for the dog walk . Have a good day hugs to all our poorlies those looking after them and all those with worries . Stay safe and warm xxxSlava Ukraini13

Morning all
Brrrr very cold here this morning Im not sure if there is a frost yet as its still to dark to see but it feels as if there may be, off to work for me im doing a few more hours in my cafe to build my staminer up and really enjoying it the time is certainly passing quickly.
Sausages egg bacon beans and mushrooms for dinner with some bread and butter so nice and easy. Dw needs emptying this morning and I shall put a wash on before I go.
Really enjoyed the bake off final last night, Nels and I were watching and texting back and forthI think the right person won it was well deserved !
Dumpling I am so sorry to hear you are back in hospital take care and get well soon xxx
Have good days all xx13 -

Hugs Hester.Chin up, Titus out.12 -
Morning folks and thanks NMLC. Bah, after a couple of reasonable nights (for me) I was back to no sleep mode last night.
I had my usual pleasant meet up with oldest buddy yesterday and a very nice lunch was enjoyed. I am gadding off again today, it's bus jaunt day with the usual wine 'n dine lunch. We are back to full strength today, all 3 of us. I could do with keeping my eyes peeled for more stocking fillers for the DGDs whilst out and about. Btw SNOOZER the mask wearing round here is on the decline too. Why are people so complacent! On our bus down into town it's dropped to about 50/50 now and in town it's far lower.
I've just been adding a few more bits to my Tes*o delivery for tomorrow, just in case I forget tonight. A few more Xmas goodies - but will they make Christmas I wonder!
Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for our poorlies, poorly loved ones and convalescing. Chin up DUMPLING you are in the best place. Take care one and all and stay safe."If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"12 -
Morning
Cold again today heating ramped up a bit to help the fingers move
Cleaner came yesterday so house is ship shape and Bristol fashion again. I’m not great at this yet and apologised lots feeling guilty it wasn’t me doing it…I wish it was. Ill get over it I’m sure especially when she changes and washes the bedding in minutes and puts a cozy clean one on
Bedside lamp working again which make it easier at bedtime. I had to buy 6 unfortunately and as they are LED I should be OK for the next 25 years.
In need of an old style wrist slap after opting for a Dominoes for dinner last night. I had the new festive feast and a garlic bread. Despite going for a small there’s half left for tonight so not too extravagant really. Can highly recommend twas yummscious
Loved bake off and there really was nothing between them. Had a laugh with rubes then watched celebrity so late one for me
My terrorist and her sidekick are coming round today so a painful session is anticipated she doesn’t take any prisoners that’s for sure. (best hide the pizza boxes too)
Get well soon dumpling and avoid the beef stew
Where’s nanny? Hope she and Mr f are ok
Have a good day all

Morning all.After my early start yesterday I'm lingering in bed still though not for much longer, I'm just watching dawn creeping through the sky. No idea what it's going to bring me today. 😀 Perhaps I can finish off the laptop declutter without getting bogged down in the past, the photos are especially compelling.
I too watched the bake off final, the three bakers were so impressive. I had to laugh at the two line instructions for the technical challenge.It's great to wake to good news here, dumpling feeling better, DP1's GDD also better and Christmas taking over shopping trips.My thoughts are with all the missing and poorlies- Marie, Poppy and Tru. Happy Wednesday to all.10 -

Morning all. Really horrible day so far, just because it' so dark and gloomy, don't think I could live in Greenland or Alaska where there's no sun for however many months. And its getting dark at three! Took the battery out of the car yesterday. I tried it, with the aim of moving the car off the drive, no dice, totally flat. It's still not charged this morning yet. Perversly, I am looking forward to the wood coming, so I can have some weight lifting excercise
I finished sanding the chest of drawers yesterday, wore my CSI suit because a] I had one appropriated from somewhere a while ago and b] It was far too itchy the last time I wore normal clothes even though the dust was being blown away or in the bag...They're now in the living room to dry them out, it's quite damp in the garage. No idea what I'm going to do to these ones. The wood is quite nice, I might wax it and put some gold leaf around the trim at the bottom. I just fancy doing some gold leaf on something.
I ended up having some eggy bread, but with parmesan and mustard because I wanted something savoury last night for supper and it was so nice, I'm going to have it for breakfast today as well. I have never made eggy bread before, never liked the idea of it, but it was lovely.Dumpling, good to see you posting, hang in there. Bella, Maldives? Wow! That is a proper sun, sea and sand holiday. And it always looks so beautiful, exactly what I'd picture for a desert island. Enjoy!! TA, I bought a bottle of pre-Christmas Baileys specifically for drinking before I open the big one...Nelski, glad your house is to your satisfaction again, the dominos sounds lovely actually, it's a treat not to have to cook. Nanny is around, but busy and hasn't been well. Gers, another one watching the final, it was so close! Loved the bit at the end where they say what everyone is doing..Right, off to make more tea to wake up, have a good day all if you can, blankets and cosy socks if not...
