As a lot of people seem to like this idea let's get it ready for tomorrow morning.

If you're starting a Daily Thread can you copy and paste this into the top post?

Hi, this is the Daily Thread for Monday 25th September '06This 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.

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.

:bdaycake: Many Happy Returns, Mr BE and Dobie :bdaycake:

:hello: Goooood Morning

It's bucketing down outside and has been most of the night, so washing will be hung on hangers/airers in the bathroom and airing cupboard.

As my diet plans went off the rails soon after they began last week, I have a chicken carcass to make into soup via the SC today
Need to make some pizza dough and rustle up some more calzones for the packed lunches, they came in very, very, handy last week on those days where time was very short between lads coming home from school and other early evening commitments.

Will be doing the PMS Challenge post later today.

Have a good day everyone :wave:

:hello: Morning everyone

Hope everyone's well this Monday morning. PP I know what you mean about the soap and ds -mine's the same:rolleyes: They grow out of it though according to OH.
I'm off to make porridge for the kids in a minute, oatcakes and apple for me a bit later.

After they've all been delivered to school I'm off to Tesco to do a basic shop, then the farmshop to stock up on carrots and apples -we get through loads of both.
Soup for lunch (yesterday's leftovers) and leftover chili for supper from the freezer - everyone eating at different times tonight.

Might make some flapjacks for school tuck shop later.

Morning all

V.happy birthday to Mr Badexample and to Dobie.

I'm up about four hours after going to bed and two hours before the alarm is due to go off. Ah big sigh! Will try and keep my peepers open all day to encourage some proper rest tonight.

Old Styling today will be to try and convert my home office from pigsty back to home office. It's rather embarrassingly cluttered and untidy now - I even things lying around on the floor which isn't good. I need to thin out my books too, which I can't stand doing, but I know there are several of them which I will be unlikely to need in the future.

My mother v.kindly gifted some curtains to me. Well, they are about third hand now, having graced the front room of her sister, but didn't quite tone in with her carpet. I can live with them not being my first choice. I have to book someone to put up the pole first, but they will be just fine once up.

I made some nice Weetabix cake yesterday...didn't have enough milk so substituted it with tea and didn't have enough sultanas so topped the cup up with coconut. Result is a moist and morish cake. Yum!

Exciting in SnowyOwl land huh!?!

Have a fab Monday all.

Good morning :j

Happy Birthday MrBadExample and Dobie :bdaycake:

Monday mornings -argh!! Well I'm dressed and my hair is in a towel so I suppose I'm not doing too badly. Made DD's sandwiches for the whole week last night and bunged them in the freezer - so I'm feeling suitably smug

Need to make mine and DH's in a minute - not sure if you can freeze tuna and mayo (think I heard that mayo doesn't freeze well ) Also got to brown some meat for the SC, do DD's hair and get everything ready for school/work - oh and wrap an ebay parcel.

Hope everyone has a great day.

(((((hugs)))))

Kids have not had porridge for breakfast, there was leftover hm strawberry yogurt and fruit salad in the fridge so they've had that plus toast and milk. I never stick to my plans :rolleyes:

I thought I'd have a look at the Flylady website to see what everyone is raving about :eek: :eek: OMG sooo not me thank you I can see how it helps and obviously you don't have to take on board everything she says but still :eek:

Morning all, just time for a quickie (IYKWIM!!!)before getting the kids ready for school. Just ironed uniforms and kids are fed, might walk this morning - it's only about a mile, or might go in the car and call in at the shoe shop for shoes for me. It's a couple of miles away but it's the only one I know of that sells Mephisto shoes. My last pair cost me over £100:eek: but they've been fantastically comfortable and have lasted over 5 years, comfort being very important when you're on your feet all day at work - so I guess £20 for a year's wear is good going.
Not much OS happening today, have soup mix soaking in a saucepan, so will make some veg soup later, and yesterday's leftover corned beef pie and leftover mango crumble for tea. Easy peasy.
Hope everyone is well,
soba.

Penny-Pincher!!

Morning Guys!

Happy Birthday Peeps:beer: :j

Just packed DD off to school:D Slept poorly again last night but never mind! Have to contact one of the consultants today as Ive turned abit yellow:eek: :eek:

OH put the WM on this morning as Im running a little slow ATM. DW has been emptied and toilet cleaned. Ironing has been sorted for SIL and other stuff put away. Have alot of things to sort out today...calls need to be made etc:rolleyes:

Need to get our passport pictures done today as the price goes up in the beginning of October by alot and they finished in Feb 2006. Dont think we're going anywhere soon but good to have for ID purposes or maybe we can have an odd day in France if a good offer comes up

Have a new radiator being put in the lounge today as the one there isnt big enough. HA is doing it and I hope they dont make too much noise as I dont think my head can take it today.

A boring day here really, but need to rest up-so may do some reading of new course.

Breakie: Toast & Marmalade
Lunch: Baked Spud, Ham and salad
Dinner: HM FishPie & veg

Have a good day guys. Hugs
