OS daily threads September 2006

Morning everyone :wave:

Thought I'd get today's thread going since I can't sleep (don't worry, not going to start banging on about that!).

It's Day Two of Moggins' Flylady Challenge. I made quite good progress yesterday, and have almost conquered the large pile of paperwork which has been begging to be filed for months and months. It's my hotspot and blindspot all rolled into one.

There was quite heavy rain here late afternoon and all evening, so that thrwarted my plans to go hunting for more blackberries, and to try and locate a plum and/or apple tree. If it's fine today I'll go out a bit earlier. I also have to get hold of some stockings to drain the juice from the fruit to make jelly. I was going to use some old tights but just couldn't bring myself to do that even though they are 100% clean. So I'll be shopping for some sexy pop socks or similar in the morning.

I've got a few jobs I want to apply for - luckily just the sort you send your cv in for - normally over here they are quite stringent about candidates filling in application forms - so that should be a fairly fast exercise. I just need to compose some snappy covering letters to grab their attention.

So, that is all the excitement in SnowyOwl land...not very exciting at all is it?

Joannasmum...any word about your car?

Have a fabulous day everyone.

Morning Guys!

Horrific weather here:rolleyes: OH had to get up at 3am as he had put the kitchen units in the garden with blankets over them and luckily none were wet! I couldnt get back to sleep after this, so have been doing some reading and trying rest as not feeling too good.

Had a good talk with DD last night and she seemed alot brighter. Im sure she will be ok.

WM is on, DW needs emptying anf toilet has been cleaned.

Have the plasterer coming today to skim the kitchen. OH has taped the door up, so that hopefully most the dust will stay in there...we will see:D

Better go and get DD up from snoozing.

Breakie: Cornflakes
Lunch: Cheese Sarnie
Dinner: Gammon, mash and veg with pineapple gravy

Will catch up later.
Have a good day guys.

Morning Snowy and PP and Ageandjo!

Joannasmum - what can I say :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Must rush, small person wanting breakfast.

DD, after 2 years of having school lunch, has decided that the new regime of "healthier" lunches is boring, so wants pack-ups. Today she has a chicken, creme fraiche and lettuce wrap, hm muffin, apple from the garden and juice. :T There was some chat recently about starting a lunchbox thread. Did it happen, and if so can someone point me in the right direction? :A

I get my new big desk today, but no word on my new laptop

Have a good day, Penny. x

Good morning everyone,

Joannasmum - hope you are ok today xx

Snowy - bad weather here as well, good luck with the job applications and the shopping!!!!

PP - hope you manage to get some rest later, and glad DD is sounding positive about school x

ageandjo - think i will join you with the PMT, although my hair (now long, black with a hint of purple!!!!) goes greasy:eek:

penpen - wish my children would eat lovely sounding wraps, DS will still only eat jam sandwiches (but HM jam and bread!!!!) still think they are the only packs that dont have chocolate or crisps tho!!!! Hope the laptop turns up soon x

Hugs and hellos to anyone i cross with, and who follow xxx

Well, only one here today, and she is at nursery this morning, so a couple of hours to myself!!! Well, it wouldve been but i had a company ring yesterday asking if i could do a mystery shop, so i do have to do that, but hopefully shouldnt take too long, it will just be nice to sit and have a cuppa and some breakfast later wihout worrying what the little ones are doing!!!!
Apart from DSs football training later (would hope it would be cancelled due to rain, but i bet its not!!!) thats all for today, but im sure something will pop up!!!
Have a lovely day everyone,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

:hello: twink!!!!

elona

Woke up early so on here with a cup of tea.

Washing is on the line outside and another load is in the machine.

Dishwasher is emptied.

My home made loaf was so popular yesterday that I made another one last night - experimented as I was running out of white bread flour so used half and half white and wholemeal bread flour.

Does anyone else find that once they have a "hiccup" with their bread or any other dish thay they "lose confidence" and then nothing goes right?

Fingers crossed that the last few days of success continue.

Snowy

Good luck with the job hunting.

Morning all,

Quickie from me this morning, just got out of the shower and sat here with wet hair.

Megga thunder storms last night so broken nights sleeps but rather sticky hence the shower.

Off to post on Moggins Flylady, have a productive day everyone;)

Take care
