Ah same wreck :)

BiddyPop · 22/09/2018 09:02

Dd is up and gone to her basketball match, dh took his work bag as there’s no point in coming g home in between. I’m getting ready for Cubs, but can’t get washing in the line yet as I need DD’s sports gear to add in before I run the wash.

A neighbor is coming in for supper tonight so I’ll get the food shopping shortly - going to do a roast chicken with the last of the tarragon in butter under its skin. And something for dessert.

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/09/2018 09:08

Doing wash, then going to the Sainsbury's café for breakfast. 🍳 No line drying here, a 90% chance of rain today. ☔

Top o’ the morning to ya 😁
Ergh my nausea is back with a vengeance this morning!
Biddy - thank you I’m so excited to move home. I love the vest too it’s so cute! I think I fell down the rabbit hole looking at hairy baby (love the name too!) safe to say I’ve placed the first of many orders Grin

Thank you fluffy - I love the little vest, it’s syarting to feel very real now!

Seafood - thank you! The Christmas trousers are one of the few things that fit me now 😂 I didn’t even begin to think of the transfer of my maternity notes, you are a genius haha I will get that sorted ASAP 😁

Neros - now that’s a very good point indeed 😁

It’s cold and wet here and I’m taking my nephews to the farm and soft play, going to be a good day!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 😁

Heavystream · 22/09/2018 09:49

Morning all!. We’ve travelled up to the family now and are watching my little sister play her first football match this morning. It’s absolutely freezing and I haven’t packed a thick coat!. Hopefully it warms up as the day goes on. Hope you all have s good day!

ConstantlyCooking · 22/09/2018 10:07

Heavy you need to invest in a warm coat (voice of experience of many years on touch line for various sports).
Today, I am finishing off bits with DD before we drive her to uni tomorrow. DS will drive himself and then it will just be DH, me and my Christmas planner!

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2018 10:36

Morning!

We did the master bedroom already, so I'm tidying the garden this afternoon. After we've been to a kids' party, that is!

I'm just off into town to pick up my bargain cushions from M&S which were spotted by someone on the bargain thread. That's my parents done now as I got dad some books and I've also got other bits for mum. I'll probably do the shopping bag and RHS diary for Christmas and the cushions for her birthday in January.

I need to sort my sister out before we visit in Oct as her birthday is in December. I'll probably get a kindle voucher as she loves reading.

It's all coming together!

Our washing dried overnight and we set the other load to finish at 7am, so at 7 I was getting the dry washing in and putting the next lot out. Our bedding will be done in the morning.

All rock'n'roll here!

Non stop rain here - there was flooding on some roads on my way to work yesterday!
I'm just back from town where I did a few necessities (glasses replair and having a new battery put into a watch) and browsed a few Christmas displays. Also started my search for a gorgeous but sensible journal / organiser / planner / diary if anyone has any suggestions? The ones I found weren't great.

Am quickly pushing the hoover around and giving my winter coat a brush down before meeting dm and Dsis for lunch at 1

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2018 14:17

That's our weather from Thurs / yesterday, Crazy. It thankfully blew over.

Anyone else on 'heating-testing' mode? It doesn't need to be on for long, but the edge needs to be taken off as it gets chilly.

Heavystream · 22/09/2018 14:19

It’s absolutely freezing by me! The fire was on as soon as we got in to my dads. I love feeling cold and can’t wait to get home tomorrow and put the fire on.

WreckTangled · 22/09/2018 14:19

I'm chilly! Dd is wearing a woolly hat and sitting under a blanket 🤣

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/09/2018 14:45

DD had a bitesize breakfast, I had eggs and bacon, she had a Pizza Express margherita pizza for lunch. 😋🍳🍳🍕

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/09/2018 14:48

I've been putting it on every morning for an hour to dry clothes Fluffy. There'll be another batch of uniform to put on tomorrow.

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/09/2018 14:49

Your house must be cold Wreck! ❄❄❄❄❄

WreckTangled · 22/09/2018 14:54

It's a new hat and she loves it Grin it's not really that cold but there's a definitely drop in the temperature

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/09/2018 14:56

😂

Heavystream · 22/09/2018 15:31

The boys love cosy nights here so the fires on all the time!. John has started saying ‘Santa coming’ so the Christmas spirit has definitely rubbed off on him!.

We’re going to get some decorations for outside the house this year so will go shopping for them soon!

NoWordForFluffy · 22/09/2018 17:06

I've had my bobble hat on in the allotment / garden the last two days. Definitely an autumn chill about!

Our washing is still drying outside, so no heating for that. Just nesh me! 😂
