Morning all

Thank you @DirtyGertiefromno30 you are a sweetheart. I often feel such a failure but you made me feel better.

I went to take the cheaper policy and all my offers have now gone up £200! So have emailed and said just leave the policy i will take it cos it's cheaper than new ones! What a scam. They would have charged me £50 admin like they did last time!

Nice day here, am not in any hurry to.do anything

Have a lovely lazy day, shame about the weather though.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/02/2026 10:33

Morning 🤗
@Thebookofcarolagain that doesn’t make you a failure at all , these insurance things are tricky. Prices jumping like that is such a scam, especially after you tried to switch it sensibly. Wanting to charge you £50 admin is ridiculous ! I’d have done the same, just take the cheaper one and move on.
Dont let it spoil your day , hope you can get out in the garden and have a good old potter about 🤗.
Glad you feel better 💐 .
I am sitting with a cuppa , DH has gone to the garden centres Dd2 is going to watch the last of the Olympic skating with me ⛸️ 🤗.
Have a good day everyone 🤗

Evening all.
I bet i had a lazier day than you did @DirtyGertiefromno30 😁
Hope the decluttering went well, did you get rid of those suits? 😉
Apart from the basics i have done nothing. 😲 Did consider going shopping but only need about 6 things and not urgently so didn't bother. Waste of diesel. Nothing important needs doing in garden yet I can't wait to plant more stuff next month.
Even in my jammies now!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/02/2026 18:56

Decluttering went well thank you @Thebookofcarolagain, got rid of the suits 🤣 and filled a huge black bag with charity stuff loads of it gone 👏😁 . Totally get you on the shopping no rush, saves diesel too! Enjoy relaxing in those jammies now 🤗.
Just had a cheese garlic pizza and a lovely cuppa 😋

Your house must be getting empty by now @DirtyGertiefromno30 !!
Good for you, getting rid of "stuff" is very freeing. Wish I could do it more ruthlessly🤣
We had pork loin chops and ds1 had waffles and I had a baked pot. Had my last almond croissant afterwards. 😋
Ds2 came down, he had been at work for a meeting earlier, I went through to kitchen to make a coffee while we chatted. Had a natter, came back through, sat down and reached for my coffee...I didn't make it !🤣🤣
Losing the flipping plot🤣🤣 I shouted up to ds2 and blamed him 😉😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/02/2026 20:01

That is exactly the sort of thing I would do @Thebookofcarolagain🤣
have a chat, come back and no coffee to show for it ☕🤣 Definitely Ds2’s fault for distracting you 🤣
Dinner sounds lovely though , proper comfort food. And finishing with your last almond croissant 😋
As for decluttering, I wish l could ruthless. I always start strong and then get sentimental over something ridiculous. But you’re right, it does feel freeing when you actually let things go 😁👏.
Watching Antiques roadshow on BBC 4. Jane you got GW on? l think it's a special tonight 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 27/02/2026 21:09

Oh I forgot it's Friday @DirtyGertiefromno30 have an old GW on never noticed there was a new one. Oh well that's next, thanks.😁
Yeah i am like that with declutteting. Too sentimental.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/02/2026 22:40

We are our own worst enemies re decluttering @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣
Hope you caught GW, we did it is so lovely 😁. Supposed to be meteorological Spring on Sunday apparently 🙄
I hope they have told Mother nature that 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 27/02/2026 22:44

Ha ha I hope so @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Not much signs of it so far.
Yez I watched it, lovely. On to another old one now..

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 10:05

Good morning everyone 🌞
Beautiful day here sunny and blue skies 10c l will take that with bells on 🤗

10° @DirtyGertiefromno30 ! It's only 6° here, bit nippy. Not raining but not sunny either, just cloudy.

Enjoy your lovely day, send some sun up here please 😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 12:31

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Sending the sun up to you @Thebookofcarolagain 🌞😁
Mum was fine there thankfully going home now nice cuppa and a chill out . DH watching the soccer today 🙄
Hey ho yes tis what it is 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 12:48

Its not here yet @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Oh no not more football @DirtyGertiefromno30 Get him a tv for his shed 🤣🤣
Still haven't decided what I am doing today. Housework is not appealing 😁
Got some seeds to plant so there is that.

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 14:28

🥶 I am frozen 😁 Been out front putting compost in holes in gravel and dropping seeds in. It's damm cold out there, didnt bother with a coat as it didn't seem too bad at first😁 Fingers crossed. Some are frilly poppies so technically they should grow, poppies grow just about anywhere and there's usually red poppies in there anyway. Also did done pink toadflax, last years toadflax is growing already!
Sowed more foxgloves, straw flowers and red poppies, frilly poppies as back ups and forget me nots in containers in kitchen. Not sure if the fmns will take but you never know. Half my kitchen table is gonna be covered by seed containers 😁 (and there will prob be more to come)
Having a coffee to warm up.

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 15:22

Oh my stars i just found my missing tube of eye gel in bottom of seed box🤣😂 Wth?
Have sowed some red hot poker seeds, fingers crossed. Sorted out my seed box i can reseed the entire town, plus I have bags and bags hanging up in cus, well better safe than sorry, preparedness is crucial 🤣
Have put heating on its baltic. 😡

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 15:23

I agree with you @Thebookofcarolagain, TV definitely needed in the shed for DH only trouble it's Dd2 as well 🤣.
You’ve done loads though, especially in that cold! No coat either very brave! 🌱🥶
Frilly Poppies will be perfect, and how lovely that last year’s Toadflax is already growing. Foxgloves and Red Hot Pockers will look gorgeous too.
Half the kitchen table full of seed trays is totally allowed this time of year 😁.
Well done sorting your seed box too😁
DH has been scattering poppy seeds everywhere on his walk 🤣.
Beautiful here sunny and warm just lovely 🌞❤️
Shame it is so cold for you there, glad you put the heating on , warm yourself up 👏🤗 .
Fancy you finding your eye gel in there 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 15:44

🤣 send her out there too @DirtyGertiefromno30 then you get to watch tv in peace.
I know, I think it must have been either picked up with the little envelopes last time I did seeds or was knocked of one of the storage jars. I always potter on with the seeds in same place. Oh well I have more eye gell now 😄
My shopping list is getting longer! Might pop in tomorrow. Depend on weather.

Have dentist on Monday so def not then 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 16:23

Yes, send her out too and l can enjoy the TV in peace @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣
Good job you’ve got more gel.
Shopping lists always grow. They are guaranteed to expand like that foam they put in holes. See what the weather’s like tomorrow , l think we are doing the same too . And definitely not Monday. Fingers crossed for the dentist 🤞.
Another half an hour for the match and whatever they tack on at the end 🙄.
I am just going to get the washing in , l washed the arm caps as well so hopefully they will be dry . Cuppa tea time too l think 🤔 ☕

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 19:53

Am stuffed. Ds2 is out with a mate for a catch up so will prob go to the bistro thingy for eats. Ds1 and I had cheese burgers, finally! Should have stuck to just the burger but did some chips too. Having my last dairy free mince pie from Xmas goodies.

In my pjs flopped on sofa.
Yep shopping is never ending @DirtyGertiefromno30 dont know where it all goes! I mean both ds's buy snacks, cold meat, ftuit,juice/flavoured water for themselves too. It's a mystery 🤔

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 20:22

Cheeseburgers were clearly meant to happen if you’ve been craving them @Thebookofcarolagain 😋🤗 That last dairy free mince pie too , a fitting send off to the Christmas stash 🤣
As for the shopping it honestly vanishes into a black hole especially when you’ve got two grown lads in the house & even when they buy their own bits!
Watching Taggart 😁👏
We had chicken tikka, onion bargees and naan, only a ready meal from Aldi but it was that nice range 😋

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 21:03

I got chicken out of freezer for tomorrow @DirtyGertiefromno30 Might do a korma or butter chicken to use up the naans in cus. Either that or I will have you come up with something to do with it😄
(Then I will have to add naans to list 😁).
Every time I write naans it changes it to something else!
Gonna watch more GW will soon be at this time last year...might get some one applicable tips😁

"There's been a muuuuurrrrderrr..."
(Sorry it's the law in Scotland)

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 21:22

Good for you getting the chicken out @Thebookofcarolagain👏
Korma or butter chicken is perfect for using up the naans. Which of course means you’ll need to buy more 🤣.
Put them on your ever expanding shopping list 😂
And yes, phones definitely hate the word naans lol. Mine hates the word love, it fights me all the way and turns it into like many times 🤣.
Enjoy GW and it is the law in Wales too to say “There’s been a muuuurrrrderrr!” in the accent. Dh and l have been saying it to each other all night 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/02/2026 22:03

I would love to hear that @DirtyGertiefromno30 🤣
My phone does that with loved too. No matter how careful i am to spell it properly it turns it to liked. Really annoying.
Considering going on skyrim. Got trouble 't mill. One of the arms shop keepers suddenly started attacking me every time I go in the shop! Haven't done anything to him nor his brother! Really wierd. One less shop i can sell all my stuff in. I am wondering if that adventurer who p'd me off on the road and we ended up fighting and I killed her was a relative? Other than that, no idea, and how would he know it was me? Arghh.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/02/2026 23:26

It's a right pita @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣
You are so funny about Skyrim 🤣. Obviously you have upset someone 🤣
Have a good session on there tonight.
I will say goodnight, we are off to beddy byes 🤣

OP posts:
DirtyGertiefromno30 · 01/03/2026 12:08
