Perfect timing getting the washing in before the rain @Thebookofcarolagain👍
You’ve done plenty, kitchen sorted is enough. Bathroom can definitely wait !
That cough and blocked head sound horrible, hope it eases for you 🤞
And typical with Ds2 , it sounds hopeful but .....🙄 Would be nice for you all if he’s home earlier though.
Put your feet up now wrap up warm and cosy and rest up perhaps a nice ☕

Ha ha good luck in your big
deision tomorrow @DirtyGertiefromno30
I fell asleep again!
Making tea now will do ds2s burger when he gets in.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/04/2026 19:33

Thank you @Thebookofcarolagain 😁
Not surprised you fell asleep with what you have got . Hope Ds2 comes home soon bless him .
Got to go and pick up Dd2 from the train station she's been to see friends in Cardiff for a meal , lucky girl 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 16/04/2026 21:36

Ds2 still not home so much for that idea!
The Salisbury steaks were nice not authentic in that there were no mushrooms, and I had no ketchup (used BBQ sauce instead) but nice, will make again.
Put on a bit of make up and nice top and got ds1 to take my photo again. OMG I look 110! All slack jawed, I need cosmetic surgery pdq 😄
Hope dd had a lovely time @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/04/2026 22:07

Hope ds2 isn’t too late @Thebookofcarolagain 🤗
Salisbury steaks sound like a win though, BBQ sauce was a good swap 😋.
And photos can be so unkind, one bad angle and it’s awful. I doubt you look anything like that, it's just the photo. Keep the outfit, ditch the pic and try again in better light , failing that do what everyone else does and use a filter 🤣.
Dd2 had a great time she's just a tiny bit tiddly and needs a good sleep and possibly a couple of paracetamols in the morning 🤣.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 16/04/2026 22:23

I wouldn't know how to use a filter @DirtyGertiefromno30 !
Ds2 just messaged ne he's finished now so much for early finish! I suppose it's better than 11.
Got his tea on now.
Ha ha at your Dd i remember the day! Looooonnnngggg ago!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/04/2026 07:45

Good morning everyone 🤗
Off to the McArthur Glen shopping centre today for a change 🤣
We compromised @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣
Glad your Ds2 was home little earlier than usual, it's not exactly an early finish but hopefully he will get paid for that long shift . I would hate to work split shifts they would really annoy me .
Hope you are feeling much better today 💐

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 17/04/2026 08:24

Morning all.

Yes they are awful @DirtyGertiefromno30
They were busy so he just stayed instead of walking home waiting 2 hrs then walking back. And it got him ahead for the pm shift.
Good idea to compromise 😄 Have a nice trip.
Still coughing and face and ears are still bunged up. Grr. Got to go to chemist later for my stupid meds
GW and Beechgrove tonight yeah 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/04/2026 15:20

Afternoon everyone 😊
Ah that makes sense for him to just stay @Thebookofcarolagainsaves all that faffing about and gets him ahead for later, quite a good shout really. Bless you though, that cough and the bunged up face and ears sound miserable, no wonder you’re fed up. 🤗Hope the chemist sorts you out and you start to feel a bit more human soon.
Nice one having something to look forward to tonight, GW and Beechgrove, perfect excuse to put your feet up and just chill .
Hope they sorted your meds out for you 🤗.
I am on the way home , knackered haven't bought a thing lol 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 17/04/2026 16:18

You are letting the side down @DirtyGertiefromno30 you didn't buy anything!!!:😄😄
Chemist had my meds but they are double the dose so I have to take half at a time. Hey ho.
Got milk and a Lindt orange egg on sale😁 Stupid self serve put milk through then stopped! Had to wait for assistsnt and as they are busy it was a few minutes. Same happened to ds1 I only used it cos of the queue but I hate them they never work properly!
Quite nice now after cloudy day.
Ds2 wanted a bacon, cheese burger for tea before he left so just gonna do same for ds1 and me. Will use up the actual mince tomorrow in spag bol or summat.
Ears are still blocked but face isn't so sore thankfully although skin is red raw, plastering cream and vasaline on it.
Sent my new serial killer photo in fingers crossed. Filter did nothing! I give up

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/04/2026 17:33

Oh I know, I’ve let the side down there haven’t I @Thebookofcarolagain At least you redeemed yourself with the milk and a Lindt orange chocolate egg, that’s the important bit 🤣
That’s a pain about the meds being double dose, but at least you’ve got them sorted even if it’s a bit faffy halving them. Those self serve tills are a nightmare, honestly they seem to pick their moment when it’s busiest to stop working. Typical you and Ds1 both getting caught out!
Your tea sounds lovely though, can’t go wrong with a bacon and cheese burger, and nice and easy too. Spag bol tomorrow will sort that mince out nicely.
Glad your face isn’t as sore bless you, but ouch at it being red raw, keep slapping the cream and Vaseline on it, and l hope your ears unblock soon as well, that’s so annoying.
And don’t you dare give up, I bet your photo is nowhere near as bad as you think 😄 fingers crossed 🤣🙏 🤞
Well l did buy 2 cushions in the end from Next outlet they were £7 each and they were down from £28 and l couldn't leave them there . I have e come home and thrown all the old cushions out and am really pleased with them 😁

Oh they are nice @bookbook . Good bargain. Who the heck would pay £28 for a cushion?
Having my tea now, not too shabby. 😄

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/04/2026 19:46

Oops just noticed i put the wrong name in. @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/04/2026 20:24

Precisely @Thebookofcarolagain wth would pay that for cushions 😱.
More money than sense comes to mind 🤔
Glad you enjoyed your tea 😋
GW on ❤️

Afternoon all
Pottery day here doing housework, bleurgh!
Have had a drizzle of rain but fingers crossed that's it. Cloudy but amazingly not cold!!!!!
No big plans today just fighting with the washing machine. I put too much in so having to sort that out, spin and re rinse and spin. Dammit.
Hope you are all having a good day.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 18/04/2026 16:33

Afternoon everyone 😊
Pottery day and housework @Thebookofcarolagain living the dream fair play though , same here !
No drizzle here it's been a beautiful day and l have dried two loads and the third is on the line yay!

Oh no, the washing machine battle 😩 overfill always turns into spin, re-spin and regret 🤣 hope you sorted it out ok
Been to see my friend for a cuppa then home for a bit of dinner and a cuppa. Been seeing to the washing most of the afternoon. It's all away except for the last load .
DH and Dd2 have gone to see Southampton v Swansea football match in the flesh , DH was otm as you can imagine 😁
Hope everyone is ok 🤗

Yeah good for them @DirtyGertiefromno30
Well I dozed off this afternoon so haven't made tea! Ds1 is making himself a sandwich 🤣 Housework isnt good for you!
Been sunny but colder, go figure!
Got the washing sorted out and hung up. What a faff.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 18/04/2026 19:59

Exactly @Thebookofcarolagain, housework is so overrated 🤣
Glad you got a doze, sounds like you needed it. Fair play to Ds1 with making his sandwich 🥪 😁
Your weather’s so misleading, looking nice but feeling cold 🙄.
At least the washing’s done, even if it was a faff , well done 👍
My lot are home now , just having a cheese sarnies and crisps and a cuppa. We are copying your DS2 🤣
Supposed to be lovely weather for a week now , we live in hope 😁

Good morning, hope the sun is out for everyone, it is here - washing on the line with a tiny bit of breeze.

Had a day out yesterday so today will be low key - cleaning, some admin and a look round the garden centre.

Glad for DH that Southampton won when they were there in the flesh @DirtyGertiefromno30

Hope you're feeling better @Thebookofcarolagain

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 19/04/2026 11:04

Sounds like a nice start with the sun out and washing on the line @FridayNighFeeling 😊
A low key day sounds perfect after yesterday. Cleaning and admin will keep things ticking over and a wander round the garden centre is always a nice treat, never just a quick look is it
Hope you get to enjoy a bit of time out at the garden centre too 😊
Thank you re the football they were thrilled to bits 😁
Mum fine here thankfully 🤗
Beautiful day ♥️

Have made bolognais for tea, washing etc. Will need to go to coop for bread, there was a smidgen off mould on top slice this morning, 😡

Sunny here but its getting really cold again. Just stop!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 19/04/2026 14:34

Glad you’re feeling a bit better @Thebookofcarolagaineven if it’s still lingering a bit you poor thing 💐
Sounds like a nice steady day for you though . Bolognese for tea is always a good shout that and chilli 😋😁
That mouldy bread would have annoyed me too 😱🤢. Hope the coop trip is quick for you .
