Strike the sun bit @DirtyGertiefromno30 its bucketing rain now. Was gonna put wash out and ds2 said its raining...just a shower at first now bucketing and windy. Had put out my tomato and cucumber plants for a bit of sun and had to bring them in! Luckily missed the wind. Sun has a cheek to be still trying to shine. There goes my plans for a walk 😑
Got my garage bill today 😱 How much for oil???
Mn still coming up as error so sticking with Samsung for now.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/05/2026 13:21

Glad you rescued the plants before they got ripped to shreds by the wind .

Ha ha typical UK chat 😁
I need to get off my butt and put washing away and hoover upstairs, seem to be stuck on sofa!

Thebookofcarolagain · 12/05/2026 15:32

Hoovered and dusted my room and hoovered landing and stairs. Found a bra that needs sewing cos wire is poking through so will do that. Washing put way. Coffee time. Its so dark I will need the light on I think to sew!
Starting to rain again. Hoping its just drizzle or I will have to offer to take ds2 to work!
Its never ending!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/05/2026 17:09

At least you’ve got loads done before coffee time β˜• @Thebookofcarolagain😁
Hope the bra behaves once you sew it up πŸ˜‚ .It really does feel never ending sometimes doesn’t it , one job done and three more appear 😁
It’s so miserable and cold for May here too πŸ™„.Hopefully it’s only drizzle and you won’t have to do the Ds2 taxi service! Fingers crossed for a bit of sunshine tomorrow, though your shopping list sounds like it’s planning world domination and emptying your bank account pronto 🀣
Dried the second lineful, put it all away. l am so tired l am going to have 20winks 🀣
Baked pots for tea again tonight yummy πŸ˜‹

Thebookofcarolagain · 12/05/2026 18:14

Ha ha I had 40 winks too @DirtyGertiefromno30 couldn't keep my eyes open.
No plans for tea might just have egg and chips.
Rain got heavy then stopped again thankfully so ds2 declined a lift bless him.

FridayNighFeeling · 12/05/2026 18:50

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/05/2026 19:00

Tried mn again on my usual but its still sticking to error message.

Will just stick to this for now. It's a bit in your face but does the job.
Tea was sufficient @DirtyGertiefromno30 πŸ˜„
Jammies on and chilling now. Done enough for one day.
Hope your day went well @FridayNighFeeling

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/05/2026 22:00

Apparently in the site thread on MN lots of ppl are having problems with that error @Thebookofcarolagain.
MN will sort it out eventually l am sure .
Chill out now 😊

Urghh I haven't watched that in years @DirtyGertiefromno30 it just got too ridiculous. For me it got all about shock value, excess and no substance. A friend of mine loves it she does meals to match the countries etc 🀣 Each to thier own, enjoy.
Shopping tomorrow oh joy. But I think both kids will come so will be fun.

bookbook · 13/05/2026 09:40

Morning!!
I got on without it freezing , yay!!
I tend to use my laptop as the keyboard is bigger , phone opens up all right , but I hate having to type and read in the little box ( grumpy old woman πŸ˜€)
All okay here , powering down from the big move , but still plenty to do . DD1-s bathroom is a bit cursed - DH sorted out a new filling mechanism for the toilet cistern as it was incredibly slow . Then a leak under the bath , then the shower hose fell to bits . DH has been on it , including making a new bath panel . Then , as toilet roll holders , rails etc were being put on , the toilet seat broke πŸ™„but I thjnk/hope that may be it . Due to that , we still have a trip to put up DGS shelves and a new roman blind for his bedroom - that is a Saturday job ahead .
DH is also on with making a new desk for my craft room . Much discussion on what height ~I want it , making it very stable etc . Luckily he hoards useful wood etc and in our garage , he had a dismantled wardrobe , - the 2 sides pale wood finish have been utilised , no cutting needed , perfect sizing . Legs to be added and it will be ready to use .
Its windy and damp here , but I have put some washing on , just in case in stays dry , but if not , I will trial the new tumble dryer - put it through its paces .
Right - off to my craft club now !
Waves to everyone
Take care all x

Thebookofcarolagain · 13/05/2026 09:52

Blimey your DH has been busy @bookbook what a gem. All thise bathroom problems shoukd have been mentioned by the sellers, typical. Your new desk will be fab, custom made to suit you.

Raining here this morning again but supposed to stop soon. I put a polo neck on this morning as sick of being cold. Want to go get shopping but ds1 is complaining that he is aching all over. Told him to take paracetamol πŸ˜„

Hope everyone has a good day.

Thebookofcarolagain · 13/05/2026 15:12

Back from shopping. Need a lie down in a cool dark room! Oh well pantry is stocked, freezer is stocked so will only need bread and milk for a while. Got plenty other bills coming up!
Lovely day now typical!
Ds2 popped into morrisons for his fave things and spied the Forest Feast cherries and bought me a bagπŸ˜„ yum.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/05/2026 17:30

Afternoon everyone πŸ€—
Glad you got on without it freezing this time @bookbook . I don’t blame you for preferring the laptop either , typing on a phone feels like hard work once you’re used to a proper keyboard! Nothing wrong with being a grumpy old woman about that πŸ˜‚
Sounds like you’re slowly coming down from all the chaos of the move, although DD1’s bathroom really does sound cursed! Every time one thing gets fixed, something else decides to give up πŸ™„ Thank goodness your DH is so handy though , a new bath panel and now a custom craft desk too, that’s seriously impressive. I love that he’s managed to repurpose bits from the old wardrobe as well, very clever and satisfying when things line up perfectly like that.
Your craft room desk sounds like it’s going to be brilliant once finished, especially having it exactly the height and sturdiness you want. And hopefully the toilet seat was the bathroom’s final tantrum 🀞

Fingers crossed the washing survives the wind and damp, but at least you’ve got the new tumble dryer ready for its first proper test run if needed! Hope you have a lovely time at craft club sounds like you’ve definitely earned a bit of relaxing and crafting after all the house drama 😊

Waves back 😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/05/2026 17:36

You’ve definitely earned that lie down after all that @Thebookofcarolagain! Shopping is exhausting enough without the weather playing games too, freezing and raining when you go out, then lovely once you’re home, typical British timing! At least you’ve got the pantry and freezer sorted .
Poor Ds1, hopefully the Paracetamol kicked in and he feels a less achy.
And aw, that was really sweet of Ds2 spotting your favourite cherries and bringing you a bag πŸ₯° . Little thoughtful things like that mean a lot. Enjoy them, you deserve a treat after surviving the supermarket! πŸ˜„
Just had a garlic chicken and rice ready meal very nice too it was very garlicky πŸ˜‹
DH is having a curry ready meal .
Weather is windy day amd wild here !
Race across the world tonight and unbelievable but true it's The Chelsea Flower Show next week

Thebookofcarolagain · 13/05/2026 19:45

Ds1 took the paracetamol, showered and came with us @DirtyGertiefromno30 (He wanted to buy a load of crap for his room to munch on during gaming🀣)
We put it all away and apart from bringing D2s washing in and make my tea i have done nowt else today. Weather got a bit overcast and chilly then sun come back out! Friend in England has had hailstones! Good grief!
All settled down to watch The Hobbit now πŸ˜‰

I prefer my PC too @bookbook but i havent got it plugged in. Must get my finger out.
