It's that time again !

Afternoon everyone 😊
Sounds like you’ve had quite a busy morning @Thebookofcarolagain! At least you’ve got the bloods booked and the car is going in on Monday, so hopefully you’ll soon know where you stand with that. And phew about the brake hoses, they sound like a right old faff to replace 😱
Fingers crossed the estimate comes down a bit and there’s nothing else lurking when they get it in. I’d be off to that dark room with the whisky too 😂
I’ll definitely have a look at the Skyrim sleep stories too. Re the washing we both just need the rain to bloody hold off! 😂❤️
I have been Christmas shopping with Dd2 , she had a day off and l wasn't going to Mum so we popped to the shops solely for her . She had a casserole dish, a jacket , a cutlery set and body sprays and pyjamas . They are all going away for Christmas. They had brilliant bargains in Asda & TKMaxx TBF so she is almost done thank God for that 🙏

Sounds like a good day out @DirtyGertiefromno30 its great to find bargains.
Been decluttering my China cabinet drawer and cupboards. Ripping up old diaries and notebooks, sorting my stationary drawers. Very cathartic 😆 got a load of blank pages for my lists now 😄

There’s something very satisfying about a good old declutter @Thebookofcarolagain😆. Nothing like ripping up old diaries and notebooks and feeling like you’ve achieved something! I also think it's very satisfying destroying them 🤣
Well l have been asleep since l got home . Well not asleep all that time but l just couldn't open my eyes 😁.
They are open now lol 🤣

Ha ha I had a nap earlier too @DirtyGertiefromno30
Yep love a good declutter. Planning on tidying up the shelving section of my wardrobe next. No clothes just stuff. Tbh most of it I will keep cos its not junk but I have reams of printer paper in there which can come down into the cupboard I did today and maybe I can get some of the stuff in the bottom of my wardrobe onto the shelves. I have a cardboard drawer set I keep extra meds in but I might can just get rid of that and put them on shelves or in bathroom. Every little helps😄😄
Stuffed with tea and in jammies now set for the night.

Every little helps indeed @Thebookofcarolagain😁 ! Sounds like you’ve got loads organised already, and I bet those shelves will make a big difference. You will free up lots of room 👏 .Stuffed with tea and in your jammies now sounds perfect! 😊 😋
Watching Popmasters and having a bit of chocolate 🍫 😁
Oh forgot to watch GW nevermind tomorrow! 😁

Ooh I forgot too @DirtyGertiefromno30 will watch when i have my brekkie 😄
What channel is Popmasters on i keep forgetting it.

It's on More 4 but it's available on catch up so you can see the whole series 😁

Thanks @DirtyGertiefromno30 will look tomorrow..

HI you two - you don't half talk the hind leg off a donkey

Re: Monty - sad but think he's allowed to retire
Re: tomatoes - I've made green tomato chutney before when mine didn't ripen
Re: cars - always expensive - sorry @Thebookofcarolagain
Re: hospitals glad your GP is being thorough @DirtyGertiefromno30 because osteo is known with GF and glad ECG OK.
and @Thebookofcarolagain I hope they sort out which appt has to happen first and it comes in the right order
Re: Christmas - no mention of the C word until later thanks

Thank God it's the weekend, so much to do! Next week not much calmer either! Take care x

Good morning everyone 😊
I know we really don’t half rabbit on @FridayNighFeeling 🤣! Glad we’ve entertained you though 😁. And yes, you are right , I think Monty has definitely earned his retirement too. Bless him he's looking old these days .
Aren't we all 🙄.
Green tomato chutney sounds lovely, I’ve never made it myself but it’s a great way of using them up.
And don’t worry, the C word is firmly banned for now! It's just l rarely get a chance to go shopping with Dd2 so l seized the moment 😂. I honestly had no idea about how Coeliac disease can affect us but it can cause fatty liver disease and other problems as well, so l am trying my very best. Hope you get everything done this weekend and next week doesn’t finish you off! Take care lovely 😍
I am off to see my Mum early this morning she had a terrible day yesterday so fingers crossed she has a better day today 🤞. Hope everyone is ok and has a lovely day.

Dont you go getting all reasonable @FridayNighFeeling 😄 Yes i hope he has a fab retirement.
Hope your weekend is not too stressful and next week not too bad either.
I dont like chutney so thats a no no. Hopefully the toms will ripen, one has.
Fingers crossed mum has a good day @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Sunny here so washing on and i am gonna get motivated!

Phew coffee time!
Have cleaned and emptied all the stuff out the wardrobe i needed to get rid of, have a bag of old lace and linens I need to put through the wash then maybe sell. Load of stuff for reclycling. Old meds to bin. Having a break before I tackle the top drawer next to my bed.
Cleaned the bathroom cabinet too, and put stuff in there to be used up.
Stripped my bed so that's to do later.
Its good to declutter😄 (theres prob more i should get rid of but cant😉)
Flipping dark clouds now forecast is poss rain now arghhhh washing is about to finish!

In a box with newspaper also works @Thebookofcarolagain

Hope mum was OK @DirtyGertiefromno30

I'm not too stressed this weekend, I did make time for gym and coffee with friend today and tomorrow we'll have a little family wander somewhere - even if just the garden centre or something as the forecast doesn't look great.

The info on the tomatoes does say they fruit in October so fingers crossed at least a few ripen @DirtyGertiefromno30 . I have paper bags but no newspapers. Putting them in a drawer also works. Glad you had a nice day. A trip to the garden centre tomorrow sounds just the ticket.

Have finished my decluttering, got half a ton of paperwork out my file I dont need to keep! That's a lot lighter now so be less weight on wardrobe shelf.😁 done my drawer too.
Coffee time before I attempt to rip it all up.
Hasn't rained yet but very cloudy and windy. 😡

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Just come home from seeing Mum. She was fine there thankfully, she ate and drank really well for me I am so glad and relieved 🙏😊.
While l was there I was talking to one of the carers. Her mother has been Coeliac for 40 years. Her mother was a carer at Mum's home as well and she has been on sick leave for the past six months apparently they have done tests on her and she has thinning of the bones from Coeliac disease and something wrong with her heart from Coeliac disease as well and they are worried about her. I am having a bone scan in the next few months so we can see what happens then but apparently you can have calcium tablets to help guard against thinning of the bones so fingers crossed I haven't got it in the first place or fingers crossed they can give me the calcium if l have and it works, we shall see 😁
Anyway l am not going to worry about that now 🙄. I have got quite enough on my plate to be going on with😂
Just had lunch of peanut butter toast and a very big cuppa ☕😋
Got the 2nd lot of washing out and fingers crossed it might dry 🤞first lot of towels had 20 mins in the dryer to finish off.
I have emptied the dishwasher and now am having another cuppa tea 😁☕.
I am going to make a gf Cauliflower cheese with a cheese sauce l bought from Asda .
It's just a try out if l don't like it l will try some others .
Hope everyone is ok and good weather 🤗

Haha no chutney then @Thebookofcarolagainif you don't like it 🤢 😂. Fingers crossed you get a few ripe tomatoes though 🍅
Blimey you’ve been busy! You’ve done loads! That wardrobe must be feeling lovely and empty now with half a ton of paperwork gone . Bet that feels good 👍. And you’ve even done the bathroom cabinet and drawer. You’re on a roll 😁👏
Typical weather though, lovely sunshine when you put the washing out and then dark clouds and windy 😡. Hope it stays dry enough to get it dry.
You’ve had a proper productive day. I love a good declutter too 😁.
Thank you both re my Mum she was fine thankfully 😊.
Glad you aren't stressed out and making time for yourself to see friends and chill out a bit @FridayNighFeeling. A visit to the garden centre sounds lovely 😊. Good for you !

Ha ha I didn't put it out @DirtyGertiefromno30 cos of forecast and clouds but of course it's not rained. Was only a few things so no biggie. Was not running downstairs then out into garden once rain started, if i even noticed it😄
Yep no point in worrying about what ifs. Wait till your scan and see what they say. Just because one person got something doesn't mean you will.
Have ripped up ny paperwork and put all the recycling into outside bin. Am knackered!
Need to go make my bed and do bathroom. Oh joy.
Hope the cauli cheese is good. I am just making proper spag carbonara with just eggs and parmesan for tea.

I don’t blame you not putting it out @Thebookofcarolagain. I wouldn’t be running downstairs and out into the garden either once the rain started 😂. You’ve done loads today, no wonder you’re knackered.
And yes, you’re right about the scan. No point worrying about what ifs until I actually know what they say.
Your Carbonara sounds lovely 😋 Proper one too with eggs and parmesan 😋👏. Hope my cauliflower cheese turns out as good but l have my doubts 😂

All done and slumped on sofa trying not to fall asleep @DirtyGertiefromno30 😁 yawning my head off . I think i need coffee to keep me going😁
I will make tea soon...honest😉

Well done @Thebookofcarolagain😁👏

I felt the same , very tired all of a sudden but l shifted my bum and made the cauliflower cheese and l am so glad l did because it's lovely 😋👏😊

DH happy Southampton won 4-1 😁
He's watching the Grand tour now it's got new ppl doing it 🙄.

Glad your tea was nice @DirtyGertiefromno30 looks yummy.. Mines ok i think I put too much cheese in but will know next time. Have texted ds2 if coop is open when he passes (i doubt it) to get eggs, i dropped one and have none left to do his tea later!

Well l must confess to you despite my good intentions ,we had gf cod n chips instead this week so my cauliflower cheese is for tomorrow now 😂.
I am easily led honest to God 😂
You know for next time now re the cheese but honestly, how can anything have too much cheese 😂.
Good old Ds2 he's so sweet, you are so lucky with your boys @Thebookofcarolagain they are darlings ☺️

😁🤣🤣 oh cant fault you for having fish and chips @DirtyGertiefromno30 yummm.
Having a last cuppa and (another) cinnamon biccie. They are rather tasty😄
