O/S Daily Wednesday 17 May 2017
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 one x
Happy birthday to those with a birthday x
DH up and gone to work stupid early, DS1 now getting ready for work and DS2 still in his pit, will wake him shortly.
Wet underfoot, dark and dreich, still raining and looks set in for the day. It started raining last night at 6pm ish, and is still going.
Dinner last night was pork steaks, mash, veg and gravy, I remembered to get the beef out to defrost, so tonight it'll be beef stew possibly some dumplings, mash and veg. Victoria sponge was enjoyed by the menfolk, I didn't have any, as I'm being good - and hoping to loose some weight before our hols. It's going to be a slow job though, it's certainly harder to loose weight as you get older. I'm plodding along though - even if I only loose half a stone it would be ok, but it needs to be more for me to be happy.
Working all day today - still doing the extra hours on a Wednesday afternoon, but then on days' off until Monday.
Keep safe and well x

Morning All
Lovely sunny morning but it has been cold overnight. I put the summer quilt on over the weekend but had to put a blanket over the top last night.
Washing all up to date, DW emptied, not enough ironing worth doing at the moment.
Builder called round last night to look at the loo - it has a crack in the bowl so he'll replace it when he has a minute or two. Met a neighbour when I was waving him off so we stood and talked for ages, nice to be out in the sunshine!
Going for a walk with a work colleague after work to a coffee shop, looking forward to it.
My thoughts are with you Nelski, look after yourself. Hope everyone else is trouble free. Take care. XX0 -
Just about to get in the shower then look out clothes. Joiners could be arriving around eight to eight thirty so want to be presentable. I still have two large loads of laundry to dry as yesterday was wet and today is forecast for rain most of the day.
I have a small portion of the chicken curry I made yesterday for lunch and will have eggs on toast for breakfast but nothing planned for tonight. Four hours volunteering at the library actually takes up six hours by the time I either walk or wait for a bus but I really enjoy it. It gets me out once a week and has me meeting people as well as feeling useful.
Hoping once I get a wardrobe for an upstairs bedroom and the storage finished in another upstairs bedroom I can get the boxes and cartons of "stuff" cleared up. Every time I think I am coming to an end of spending on this house I find something else the previous owner bodged. If it was just badly done it would not be so bad but most of it is downright dangerous and could have killed or badly hurt someone.
I really need to get back to sensible eating but can't seem to kick myself into gear. Hoping a spell of warm decent weather will help.
Hugs to all."This site is addictive!"

Morning all
It's chucking it down here, it will do the garden good, I shall hang the washing under the gazebo.
I scanned all my CD's into Music Magpie last night, they are being collected on Friday and I've earned £14 from them, lol.
I've filled my bin up and a neighbour's who is away (with permission). Tonight I'm listing 2 more batches on Ebay, it all seems never-ending.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs HesterChin up, Titus out.0 -
Morning folks and thanks NMLC. It's fine at the moment but the rain is due back nearer lunchtime apparently. I know I said we desperately needed some for the dried up garden but we've had enough now!
I am having a much needed day out with my friend today, before all the appointments start clobbering us from tomorrow. We are having our usual bus ride to Skipton, a market and cs browse, then a late lunch and shared bottle of wine before heading back home. I think it will be a soggy market if the forecast is right!
Two of the DGDs are here for late tea and sleepover, after Rainbows and ballet, so better organise something quick 'n easy before I go!
DD has to go to the hospital for a small gynae op today. I am hoping it's nothing to worry about but, you know me, I shall be fearing the worst until I know differently.
I have left a bowl of creamy chicken and bacon pasta out for Mr TA's lunch. Only to pop in the mw so, hopefully, he can cope with that! With a big jam doughnut as a treat for afterwards.
Hope all went well yesterday for SPEKY. Thoughts are with NELSKI and I hope the end, when it comes, is peaceful x (HUGS) to anyone else in need/want of them and take care all xx"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0 -
Morning everyone.
It's a glorious morning with blue skies and bright sun already. When I woke at 6'ish it was beautiful then. No washing to do unfortunately.
This morning I've got two hours teaching and then I hope to get into the garden to sort out the four plants which arrived recently.
Happy Wednesday to all.0 -
Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts I'm overwhelmed by everyones kindness :A :A
My brother arrived yesterday so we all got to go and see Dad together which was pretty heartbreaking but in some ways we are lucky to have this little bit of extra time with him to say what we need to say. Not sure he can hear us though he is pretty zonked out now which is good he was probably the most relaxed I have seen him in all these horrible weeks. Same day again here ....visiting ..take mum for lunch...nothing much more to report.
Thanks again for your kindness its appreciated by us all0 -
Morning all
Wet and gloomy here too and set in for the day I think, back to work for me today but a short week so not too bad.
Mums for dinner tonight so no cooking for me, last night I made chicken parmigiana which was very tasty indeed and I shall do it again.
Went to Aldi yesterday and did a big shop Its so much cheaper in there :j I shall go once a month or so and do a big shop.
Nels I am thinking of you xx
Have good days all xx0 -
Morning all,
The rain during the night woke me up a couple of times, there were a couple of torrential showers here and a thunder storm but I think that they were fairly localised. I’m just pleased that I don’t have any washing to do today because it looks set to rain on and off for the day.
I am being taken out for lunch today by my 91 year old neighbour. She does this for me every now and again as a thank you for the bits and pieces that I do for her. I do things willingly and don’t expect anything in return but I do enjoy these lunches with her. She is a lovely lady and is still as sharp as a button, and is very good company. We have some very interesting discussions on things that are going on in the world.
Dinner last night ended up being some haddock that I dug out of the freezer with some steamed veg and new potatoes. I really like fish but have noticed that while the price of meat has been increasing, the cost of fish has risen by more and still seems to be climbing.
I think it is time for another mug of tea now.
Have a good day everyone, take care x0 -
You are right about the price of fish HOLLY - an expert on the news last night said it had gone up by 8%. I'm another fish lover and remember the days when it was a cheap meal!"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0

Good morning everyone :hello:
It's not raining at the moment but it is forecast for later on. I am supposed to go out with my lovely CMHT lady but I think I would rather stay in and have a cuppa. Hubby and the girls have gone to work/school and DD14 is planning on a walk with the dog later.
I am going to make a roast turkey dinner tonight. I am so looking forward to it, I am feeling a lackage of vegetables in my life
. The girls aren't so keen, mainly because they do the washing up :rotfl:. I shall load the dishwasher as I go so it won't be as bad for them.
I lost 2lb at Slimming World last night. There were lots of new people started and the meeting was very busy. I have bought the new magazine so I am looking forward to sitting down with a cup of tea and reading it. I had my chocolate cake last night when I came back but to be honest it didn't live up to my expectations. I shall think of a nice non food reward for next time.
Nelski, my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope your Dad has a peaceful passing.
Speky, I hope your first night in your new home went well.
TA, I know what you mean about always thinking the worst, I hope your DD's procedure goes well and she recovers quickly x
I hope you all have a great day whatever you are up to, take care xx0
