OS Thursday 7th Feb 08

Oooo it's Jackie O's birthday!! That's why I am starting this so early, so that we can let her have her birthday wishes for the full 24 hours!!

Here's the sticky:

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for 7th February.. This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything OS and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what 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 OS natter. The more the merrier!

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, we’re a laid back bunch here so you won’t hear any complaints. 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” type start does just as well.

Happy birthday JackieO, have a fantastic and indulgent day - you bloody well deserve it!!!!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone else.

Snowy

    Hi all,

    I've been trying to catch up on what I've missed while I've been away...

    Catznine, I’ve been busy lately and didn't see your posts about your dd. It sounds like you’ve been worried sick. It must be such a relief to have a diagnosis.
    mrs_mix, I’m delighted to hear that you’ve got the dla sorted.
    Tru, sorry to hear about your little pig…I knew that it wasn’t a big pig.
    Steff, congratulations on dd’s results.
    Haribo, sorry to read that you haven't been looking after Father Jack's teeth properly!
    Jackie O, Wishing you a great birthday...I have no doubt that your lovely daughters will make sure it's a good one. :bdaycake:

    Good morning everyone,

    JackieO :bdaycake: Have a happy birthday and I know you will enjoy many more to come. Just let your hair down :D and have a great day.

    CM The updated version of the accident early yesterday evening is that it was an 18 yr old that died. No, the drains aren't that big. They were body surfing and his foot got caught in a grate. Very sad and very dangerous thing to do.

    MrsMix Glad you had a win yesterday. You deserve it.

    Well I've had a busy morning. I've got the dog food simmering away on the hob. Will get into some more sewing this arv. Very humid today. I'll try and position the machine near a window with a breeze. :rolleyes: Will pop back later. Byeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Haven't popped in to one of these daily threads before - so hello to everyone:hello:
    Should be in bed, but need to pop to the bank in the morning, so have been counting all the saved loose change and putting it in to bags to take with me and get it into the savings account. It's a tedious job.

    Happy birthday Jackie. Have a good one _party_

    Morning all :hello:

    Happy birthday JackieO :bdaycake: :D

    I spent 5 hours clearing out the shed yesterday :rolleyes: I was only going to tidy it but ended up completely emptying it. I filled 2 bin liners and 2 boxes with rubbish - I was going 'that's rubbish, that's OK but not needed, that's for recycling' and throwing it all in a pile behind me. So now I need to sort it all :rolleyes: I found loads of stuff I'd forgotten about.

    I need to iron, hoover and do 2 loads of washing today.

    Done my clickables already :D
