O/S Daily Wednesday 11th October 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

Still dark, blustery wind has returned but not raining and doesn't feel so cold.

DH up and gone to work stupid early, DS1 now getting ready for work and DS2 still in his pit, will wake him shortly.

Dinner last night was the beef casserole, dumplings, mash, LO cauli/broc cheese, LO yorkshires, peas and gravy. I remembered to get the chicken out to defrost for tonight's dinner, so tonight we'll be having roasted chicken thighs possibly with something - not sure what, but have all day to think of something. Whatever I make it needs to be something that isn't going to take too much prep or cooking as I'm working a full day again today.

Yesterday wasn't as busy but again either loads of people or nothing, and lots of unhappy people. Today I'm working one job this morning then doing another this afternoon - so will make a change.

I'm on days' off from tonight, but have a couple of busy days and want to get stuff done - so will see how I go.

Keep safe and well x

Morning everyone

Thank you for starting us off nmlc.

I didn’t sleep very well again. I was tossing and turning most of the night and finally gave up and got up about 5.00am. I’ve been reading since then and now feel really exhausted.

It stayed cloudy with drizzle on and off all day yesterday, so a pretty miserable day weather wise, so no washing done. I’ll see what today brings.

The freezer roulette yesterday resulted in a nice lamb casserole. I had that with some steamed veg and mashed potatoes. I’ll open the draw, close my eyes and grab another of the unlabelled packages in a minute. Whatever that is will be dinner tonight, whether I fancy it or not. I’m absolutely determined not to waste anything because I was silly and didn’t put a label on when freezing it.

This year I wasn’t going to make a Christmas cake. I don’t really like it but my brother and niece love it and he phoned me yesterday and asked if I will make them one, so I’m going to do that today.

The sitting room is rather dusty and if I get time I will sort that out today and have a quick vacuum around, other than that I don’t intend to do too much. I’ve been feeling quite tired again so would like to have a quiet afternoon reading.

Have a good day everyone whatever you are doing.

Morning all

Too dark to see what the weather is doing but its chilly, no central heating on yet but the fire keeps us toasty in the evenings.

Off to work today its very quiet there atm which is quite nice for a change, the clients make it fun though, a new challenge every day !

Need to go and rummage in the freezer after this to look for something for dinner, or I might do an omelette and bread and butter which will be nice and easy.

Rubbish and recycling are out this morning, and dw will be turned on before work.

I have ordered new boots for work which should arrive today, I ordered what I hope will be very comfortable ones (they are meant to be) being on your feet all day with arthritis is very painful most days, so I hope these help and are worth the money.

Right better get on have good days all xx

Morning all.

It’s been pouring down all night, sharp rain blown into the windows which makes it extra noisy. I’ll have to drive the long way into town as my usual route will be flooded. When it’s high tide the rainwater can’t drain away so just floods the canal road.

The surprise venison got cooked up yesterday so I need to portion it up properly. Some for today, some for DM and some for the freezer.

Two hours at work this morning, fingers crossed it goes better than last week, it’s been on my mind since then. I have a love hate relationship with technology.

The shower is looming so must get on. Happy Wednesday to everyone.

Morning all

Not sure what I'm doing today. Housework is a bit pointless and the laundry is up to date.

I'm sure I can find something useful to do.

Onwards and forwards

Have a great day all

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Morning :hello: [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I hope your leg heals soon CRANKY xx Sorry, I have no idea what's wrong with it

[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]My brother popped round with Little Mate. I asked LM if he likes school – he's just started preschool and is feeling very grown up, lol – and he wouldn't talk to me about it. It seems he will tell his dad some things, his mum other things and no-one else is allowed to know anything

[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've been thinking about Christmas, for the first time in years I have a proper fireplace and it's [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]very[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] important to find the perfect decorations for the mantelpiece

I'm thinking thick green garland, chunky wooden letters spelling NOEL and small white candles. That may change to over-the-top, tacky silly red ornaments

I'm not sure what to buy for LM, he loves pirates so I went on the hunt for a treasure chest while we were away but couldn't find one. I was going to fill it with treasure and knew just where to find the perfect things – a fab pirate shop in Looe. Went there and it was closed, I looked in the other shops but nothing came close. So I'll have to have a rethink.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Miss tru has the day off, not sure what her plans are but we usually end up doing something together so I'll wait for her to get out of bed and see if she wants to do anything.[/FONT]

Morning everyone,

Yesterday's funeral went as well as possible, it was held in a woodland cemetery which was very quiet and peaceful but have to wonder what it would be like for the mourners in the rain as it was quite a walk to the plot.
One of the most toxic people from the company turned up, she had especially made my friends life a complete misery, she seemed shocked to see us and quickly scuttled away. Like most bullies she is brave when surrounded by cronies or sending nasty emails but not so good when face to face.
Plans today are clear out the under stairs cupboard and do the bathrooms, this afternoon my DOH is meeting his eldest for a chat and I will see the lovely Lulu.

Have a good day folks x

Morning everyone,

Terrible weather this morning. Proper winter weather. So much so our works golf day has been cancelled - for a 2nd time in 4 weeks due to weather.

Scotland, eh?

Didn't do much yesterday evening. GBBO, of course.

Football tonight, in the rain no doubt.

Hope everyone stays dry and has a nice day.

Nelski · 11 October 2017 at 9:12AM

This afternoon I have the U3A monthly meeting and our speaker is going to talk about fingerprinting and its history ,so hopefully it should be interesting and informative ,just up my street

Morning ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one.

We do not have rain here, the sun is shining, the rain its supposed to arrive at lunch time, so no preservative on the shed today, it takes 6 hours to dry.

We both slept in, 8 50 before the feet hit the floor, no bother, I just plan to do a bit of sewing after lunch.

Mince and dough balls for supper, need to cook the mince and put half of it in the freezer against another meal.
