O/S Daily Monday 9th April 2018

Good morning everyone :hello:

I'm absolutely shattered as I didn't fall asleep until 3.30 and then woke again at 7 after some horrible 'hospital' dreams. I couldn't drop off for worrying about today's assessment but now it's here and I just have to get on with it. My lovely cmht lady will be here just after 12.30 with lots of calming words I have no doubt.

I'm going to cook pork schnitzel, mashed potatoes and spring greens for dinner tonight. I used the time I was up to write a full meal plan for the week ahead and also ordered some shopping to be delivered tomorrow, so it was not all time wasted.

Sending hugs to the TA's, hope it all goes smoothly and Mr TA recovers quickly xx
Holly, I am with Gers in that I haven't ironed anything for years and nothing bad has happened apart from being a titchy bit crumpled on occasion .
silver-oldie, plum chutney sounds really nice. Sorry you are not sleeping, hugs to you too xx

Hope you all have a great day whatever you are up to, take care xx

I am embarassed to say it but I have not ironed for over ten years. So many things can just drip dry or go outside on hangers.

Positive thoughts and fingers crossed for TAs today.

Just about to make some porridge for breakfast and then get ready to go to York to U3A this afternoon and take a parcel to be exchanged for a larger size while I am on my way to the bus stop. I have home made chilli chicken and peppers to eat tonight and will put a portion in the freezer for later.

My youngest was home at the weekend and noticed the pressure king pro making the comment "How many gadgets do you have?" I did not rise to the bait and just commented that I use it regularly and it is energy saving. I love the way it makes soups and stews without my standing over a cooker for ages or having to use an oven.

I had a real shock yesterday as two dds and sil were over and were coming in and out of the front door when suddenly a big dog bounded into the house and straight into the kitchen!!!! I am wary of dogs anyway and got quite a fright but shouted at it to get out and sil came in and coaxed it out. The man who was walking down the road with it and did not have it on a lead or under control did not come and fetch it or even apologise. I knew there was a reason I hate and detest open plan but unless I get an outside porch built there is not much I can do.

Hugs to all

Morning all, now don't all faint because I'm posting early !
We had a courtesy call from the window man at 8.10am to say that he'd be here at 11am. Would have liked to be a fly on the office wall when he heard that he has to fit 14 windows, replace another one with patio doors and then fit 2 external doors! Better keep him sweet with tea/coffee and biscuits .
Anyway today the sun is shining here, so I have washed my bedroom curtains and hung them out and now in the WM are the voiles from the top of the stairs. That's everything washed for now, except the 2 pairs from the lounge but they were done early last year, so I may not bother to wash those.
I won't be doing much today, well all week really so I will probably get stuck into my new book.
Tea tonight will be something quick, probably oven chips and breaded fish for me, chicken for Mr Fix It.
Holly I hate ironing and avoid it until it becomes unavoidable, or we run out of clothes :eek:
TA (and Mr TA) and Dumpling I am thinking of you today. Hope everything goes well for you.
Hope everyone has a good Monday. Take care all. The hug bucket is brimming over so please help yourselves.
