OMG @Thebookofcarolagain😱. Sounds like you’ve had a proper battle with the weather AND those bloody ribs! That membrane is a nightmare! The wine spritzer sounds well deserved though 😂🍷
Seven tomatoes on one plant is brilliant! 🍅🌱 And thanks for the Foxglove seeds, but I’ll leave them as Kim Clam already has loads here!
The food festival sounds lovely. We didn’t get anything exciting, but I did buy some Little Coffee, a caramel one and a hazelnut one, so I’m looking forward to trying them! ☕️😋
Shame you couldn't go out in the garden today fingers crossed for tomorrow 🤞😊

Phew am knackered!
Ribs have about 20 mins to go. I am having a baked pot too. Ds1 is having waffles . Got a sink full of dishes after putting the other stuff away! Put back most of my succukents , some are still soaking up. So many to carry back and forth from living room to kitchen😁😁

Its getting cold again.🥶
Enjoy your coffee @DirtyGertiefromno30 sounds good.

Thebookofcarolagain · 19/09/2026 19:12

Such a faff but yummmm😆

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 19/09/2026 19:42

Blimey you’ve been busy @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂 Ribs and a baked spud sound lovely though. All that succulent ferrying back and forth would finish me off! 😂 Hope you get to sit down soon and no more faffing. Definitely getting chilly again here too 🥶 . I had a small cup of the Caramel earlier l can't have a big cup l will be awake as almighty from the bloody caffeine but l will have a big mugful in the morning just you wait ☕😂

Dishes all done, more plants carted through have left some as cba to open curtains again 😁
In my jammies, collapsed on sofa now.
Laughing at your little coffee, enjoy your huge mug tomorrow, must be good then.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 19/09/2026 21:33

You’ve earned that sofa collapse @Thebookofcarolagain! I don’t blame you leaving the rest of the plants, sod opening the curtains again 😂.
It is actually really nice l loved it when l tried it up town it's dear though £4 for a 50g jar 😋

Thebookofcarolagain · 19/09/2026 22:16

If it only takes a teaspoonfull per cup when you think a large caramel latte would cost you nearly £4 these days you are saving yourself a fortune @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄
Just slobbed here lazy beggar.
Ds2 said the ribs were delish, shall I buy more next week? (With a laugh cos he knows what a faff it was) I told him go for it but you are cooking them🤣

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 19/09/2026 22:34

When you put it like that, my little teaspoon of caramel coffee is practically paying for itself you are right @Thebookofcarolagain😂 . A £4 latte every day would soon add up! Nice though 😋☕.
I’m slobbed here too, so don’t worry 😂. And 🤣 at DS2 asking if you should buy more ribs next week . Watched Strictly , Emma Willis and JoJo were excellent but Josh Widficimbe was awful very nervous and obviously reading from the autocue . Fingers crossed he improves 🤞.

Good morning everyone 🌞
Lovely day here, washing out 😁, second day of the food festival so busy day here with the traffic. Just on our way to see Mum 🤞she's ok 😁.
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

Afternoon all.
Sunny but still windy here😡
Slept late cos I was up at 3.30 after another similar dream as the other night. Wth is going on? Knocked my day right off. No enthusiasm for anything.
Have a good day folks.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 20/09/2026 15:24

Afternoon everyone 😊
Just back from seeing Mum she was ok there thankfully 😁.
Just had crackers and cheese and a nice cuppa , Kim Clam is cutting the grass , he's feeling better 😊🤞
Bloody dreams @Thebookofcarolagain,they really can knock you off your stride can’t they, especially when you’re waking up at 3.30 😩. Don’t force yourself to do anything today, just have a lazy one and hopefully you’ll feel more like yourself tomorrow. Fingers crossed you get a decent night tonight and no more of these bloody dreams 😂

Shhh 21 again Wink Had a lovely weekend, thank you!

Thebookofcarolagain · 20/09/2026 17:13

Havent done much at all @DirtyGertiefromno30 . It's bloody freezing here with that wind! Watching GW and Beechgrove and some you tube. Just pottered in kitchen.
Currently making chicken pie for tea.
Glad dh is feeling better. Not been outside cos of wind so annoying. Fit to knock you off your feet!
Ha ha thats what I always say @FridayNighFeeling plus tax and insurance😉 Except ds2 looked at my drivers license the other day as he kept guessing, I should have said yes cos he was 10 years short, serves me right...know he knows the awful truth.😱

FridayNighFeeling · 20/09/2026 17:24

LOL I had a bit of a shock when I had to say how many years I'd been driving for insurance renewal! Did save myself about £200 by shopping around though - robbing insurance companies who don't reward loyalty.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 20/09/2026 17:31

Sounds like a really nice lazy Sunday @Thebookofcarolagain😊 .
Awful weather with you though 😱. Definitely not weather for getting out in the garden. Chicken pie sounds lovely 😋. I’ve been watching Gavin and Stacey and Pride and Prejudice 1968 on you tube 😁. Picture is terrible though 😂. Just had baked potatoes cheese a beans 😋 😁.

Glad you had a lovely birthday weekend @FridayNighFeeling , l am like you, l play around with the quotes and manage to get a bit off by adding another driver or changing our occupations 😂.

Yeah insurance companies are the pits @FridayNighFeeling
I noticed they lure you in with cheaper prices then add extras on like crazy just for 'normal' insurance.

Cheating gits.

Chicken pie was delish thankfully. Had a cinnamon swirl too.
Yep @DirtyGertiefromno30 everyone is out to swizz you these days.
Chilling in my jammies now.
Tomorrow I need to get moving and be productive. 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 20/09/2026 21:23

Ooh chicken pie AND a cinnamon swirl @Thebookofcarolagain 😋🤤. A very successful tea to me 😊 . Enjoy a good chill out now. Plenty of time to be productive tomorrow .

Pottering on Skyrim 😁
Have got a list of things to do tomorrow @DirtyGertiefromno30 wonder if i will get any of them done😄
Got stuff on my shopping list already! Help!

Ooooh new Skyrim story, yessss. 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 21/09/2026 10:44

Good morning everyone 🤗
Nice day here washing out already 😁
Not doing much today having a chill out 😁.
😂😂 Oh dear, you've already got a shopping list on the go @Thebookofcarolagain!! This is how it starts, before you know it you'll have half of Aldi's on it and still not finished 😂

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 21/09/2026 12:04

No more going on it @DirtyGertiefromno30 !!!
Got my car bill 😭
Washing is on should have put it on earlier but forgot.
Sun has come out, sky was just one big white cloud this morning. Wind has dropped somewhat. My lower back is complaining so might not manage garden later, will see.🤞
Enjoy your chill out day .
Finally got a telephone appointment for hospital. Wonders never cease!

Thebookofcarolagain · 21/09/2026 14:56

I give up. My back is wrecked and my sciatica has reared it's head again. I can barely walk straight. First day in a week I could really get into garden and i am stuffed. 😡😡😡
Slathered in brufen (fat lot of use that is tbh) painkilkers and hot pad on, stuck on sofa, getting up every now and again to stretch and teeter about.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 21/09/2026 14:59

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Lovely day here ☀️
Been making 3 Christmas wreaths, yes l know it's 3 months before but l have 11 to do if l decide to make them all. They were not too bad TBF l was surprised .
Haha definitely NO MORE going on the shopping list @Thebookofcarolagain😂
I hope that bloody car bill hasn't put a dampener in your day love .
At least the sun has finally decided to show itself for you , although just typical that your back is complaining now you want to get out in the garden! See how you feel later, the garden isn't going anywhere 🤞
Hope the washing behaves itself and actually dries 🙄
And blimey, a telephone appointment for the hospital?! Wonders really do never cease! 😂
