Damm your post didnt show @DirtyGertiefromno30 got the stupid "accept ads' message as well.

Consultant phoned 25 mins early! Could have been embarrassing! My platelets are down but not concerning so no change. Another appoint in 8 weeks.
Wrapping presents????? 😱😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/09/2026 15:42

Phew, you’ve had a busy one @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂 Hope the washer behaves now after all that grotty water 🤞🤞. Sounds like you did well with the shopping though, and £1.49 for the Alliums , bargain! 😁 Gammon will be much tastier than those silly little packs of ham. Typical forgetting the golden syrup! 😂
This site is doing my head in too it's so sloooooowwwww🙄
Very glad the consultant phoned early and your platelets aren’t concerning. Another 8 weeks is very good and hopefully they can give you the all clear for Christmas 🤞
Wrapping presents haha yes l did wrap but only 3. l didn't want my Dd2 to see what l bought her 😱😂
Weather has been a big failure here today never mind, it's good tomorrow apparently 🤞🙏😁.

Holy guacamole i am knackered! Did all the meat for freezer and cheese, shredded the cheese in fridge so it get used quicker. Gonna use up chicken breast thats left in mac cheese tonight and will have baked pot and cheese tomorrow. Made bread crumbs with bread ends that aren't gonna get used. Took 4 slices out freezer the other day for ds1 cos he doesn't usually use the bakers bread for sarnies and both ds got fancy panninis and rolls for themselves today. 😡 Wonder if that bread will get used????
Cleaned up the mess dishes all done. Phew!
Damm forgot to put freezer stuff on inventory boards, oh well later...
Yeah consultant call was fine @DirtyGertiefromno30 but they cant just sign me off they need regular blood tests to check my platelets aren't dive bombing unfortunately. But no action is good 😁
Both lads got hot food from different places so I have no idea if or when they will want tea.
Washer is going non stop rinsing and spining then washing all the stuff in batches! At least its working.

This damm site is still playing up on some words where you need to change a letter, what is going on? Might look see if anyone else is having same trouble.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/09/2026 16:57

Blimey you’ve been busy @Thebookofcarolagain! No wonder you’re knackered, you’ve done loads! Typical the boys getting fancy panninis and rolls after you’ve taken bread out for them 😂
Very glad the consultant call was ok though and at least there’s no action needed, even if you’ve got to keep having blood tests. Better they keep an eye on the platelets.
And sod the freezer boards for now, they can wait! 😂. At least the washer is actually working and you’re getting through the mountain of washing. Phew!
I took pics of the presents l bought for Dd1 before l wrapped them up .
Here they are @Thebookofcarolagain🤗

You might think they are a bit childish but omg they are so pretty 😍

Not making mac cheese now @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Ds dont want tea so am having half the chicken breast and a baked pot and cheese. DS1 will be hungry later he can have the chicken on a sarnie.
Stupid washer didn't spin the big towel! Have wrung it out as best I can and its in again.
Ds2 is gonna ask a mate from work if he can look at it, he did the caravan park maintenance so might know what's up.
If its knackered am gonna get the cheapest one going. No bells and whistles😄
Pretty ornaments , i love that box @DirtyGertiefromno30 , very Xmassy 😄 Last thing i need though 🤣 Be good to keep nick nacks in.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/09/2026 18:28

That sounds a nice tea @Thebookofcarolagain😋 .At least the rest of the chicken breast will get used later in a sarnie. Typical bloody washer picking the biggest towel to have a strop with 🤣 .Hope DS2’s mate can have a look and it’s something simple. If it’s knackered then definitely cheap and cheerful, no need for all the bells and whistles 😂.
Glad you like the box 😄 Would be lovely for little bits and bobs, but yeah, last thing you or l need 🤣.
Just Gona have my tea fish beans and chips from last night yummy 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/09/2026 19:13

I think cos its just one thing its not sensing it properly. Will save it for tomorrow to go in with other stuff. Its not even a huge towel. All the other stuff spun no prob. Should have just stuck it in with them.
Had a salted caramel choc ice cream (Aldi ones) for pud. Yummmy.😄
Jammies and glass of wine time i think.😄
Fog and rain rolled in and its definately a cold wind howling around. Bleurgh.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/09/2026 20:59

I reckon that’s exactly what it is, just not enough in there for it to balance properly @Thebookofcarolagain. Definitely save it for tomorrow and chuck it in with the rest. Fingers crossed 🤞.
Ooooh salted caramel choc ice cream though that sounds bloody lovely😋.
Your weather sounds absolutely vile! Bleurgh indeed! 😱
Had my tea and watching GBBO now 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/09/2026 22:12

Just pottering on Skyrim here.

The ice cream was lovely if a bit soft @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Aldi 'Magnums' arent too shabby. The mint one is nice too.

Good morning everyone 🌅
Supposed to be a lovely day here, we shall see 😁. Off to see Mum in a bit .
Got to wash the hair first though 🙄. I find it so tedious 🙄. Never mind, got to be done, better shift myself. I hope everyone is ok and has a lovely day 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/09/2026 10:47

Mirningvall.
Cloudy, foggy and was raining earlier here. Bleurgh.
Been out with recycling bin and its not that cold though.
Having a toasted teacake for brekky as a change 😋
Got a list of poss jobs to do indoors if weather doesnt improve.
I find the whole showering malarkey tedious @DirtyGertiefromno30 such a waste of drinking coffee and slobbing time 😉 why can't we have self cleaning bodies?😁😁
Have a good one.
Stupid site still playing up this morning. So much for thier fix.

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/09/2026 12:29

Yeah! One job done. Fridge freezer cleaned and sorted, inventory redone, reduced packets to make it easier to get everything in. Coffee time😄
Still foggy snd damp here, boo hiss.

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/09/2026 14:08

Who hoo! sun came out so I have wrestled the sunflowers out! Boy they didn't wanna come out😁 De stung all my canes and put in my chimney. Pulled out my pansy which was finished and got a few weeds and cut down most of that purple stuff. Threw a million snails on back wall over the fence😁 Didn't even look in bottom border for snails, that can wait till tomorrow.
My back is objecting so its coffee and cocodamol time i think.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/09/2026 15:30

Afternoon everyone 😊
Blimey, you’ve certainly been busy @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂 From sorting the freezer to wrestling the sunflowers out, de stringing the canes, pulling out the pansies , weeding and chucking a million snails over the wall! 😂 No wonder your back is complaining. Leave the bottom border for another day missy !
Coffee and cocodamol sounds like a very good idea now 😁. Why can’t bodies and hair 🙄 just be self cleaning though? Would save so much faffing! 😂
Glad the sun finally came out for you. Hope it stays dry now, and as for this site, clearly their “fix” hasn’t fixed much going by the posts ! 🙄😂
I have dried one of washing lot second lot on the line now. 😁
I pulled a muscle in my left calf , didn't do anything it just decided to play up 🙄. Fenbid rubbed in and fingers crossed 🤞 😁.
Had crackers cheese and crisps for dinner and a huge cuppa 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/09/2026 16:51

Ouch hope your calf behaves pdq @DirtyGertiefromno30
Ds2 was going down the street and is getting shopping for his work to! His washing finished right at that tine so been out and helped hang it. Still sunny out there.

I have got a green topped bin which is just a pia. Council doesn't collect green bins now so am gonna turn it into a composer. Next door has put rubbush in it which is a pia so gonna move it up to garden out the way. Need to cut out a flap in bottom somehow, hopefully ds2 will help. Will beed to empty it and wash it out first.
Have got 2 lots of meals made . Mince and sausages which I will put dough balls in for today's tea and bolognais for tomorrow. Put a tin of chick peas in to stretch the mince in the bol and carrots in both for me. 😁 Beef costs so much I am stretching it as far as i can these days.

Got a new Skyrim compilation last night so been listening to the rest of it I missed last night (once i finally fell asleep) as I potter about. Some I havent heard in a while, good to listen to again.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/09/2026 17:20

A2 thank you @Thebookofcarolagain my calf does seem to have settled down thankfully 😁 . It's had 2 lots of Fenbid on it and it seems to be working 🤞🙏. You’ve been so busy again! I bet it was lovely having DS2 there to help with his washing, and even better that the sun’s still shining.
That green bin sounds like such a pain, especially with next door putting rubbish in it! Turning it into a composter sounds like a great idea, though. Hopefully DS2 can fix the flap once you’ve emptied and scrubbed it. 😂
You’ve done brilliantly making two meals as well. Chickpeas and carrots are such a good way to stretch the mince, especially with beef being so expensive. Have you thought about trying red lentils or Quorn mince too? I bet you wouldn’t even notice once it’s all cooked into the bolognese.
Listening to Skyrim music while you potter about sounds lovely. It’s funny how songs you haven’t heard in ages can feel brand new again. Hope you’re taking it easy and looking after that back now 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 30/09/2026 18:14

Ds is blethering at work so dumplings are in and tatties on. I am hungry! I have orange lentils for soup and I think I have a tin of lentils in cupboard I might use next time.

Its Skyrim stories @DirtyGertiefromno30 Dion does 8hr compilations now and again. Great for falling asleep to but also great for listening to as you potter about. The usual stories when they finish have hours of Skyrim background sounds on for falling asleep to.
Got myself a nordic berry cider as a reward for all my 'hard' work 😁😁
Glad your calf is easing. Random aches and pains are so annoying when they interfere with your life.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/09/2026 19:20

You’ve earned that cider after all that work @Thebookofcarolagain😋 . Dumplings and tatties sounds bloody lovely too, no wonder you’re hungry!
Had to lol at your Ds2 blethering 🤣.
Those Skyrim compilations sound brilliant, especially having them on while you’re pottering about. And 8 hours is definitely enough to see you right through . The background sounds afterwards sound perfect for nodding off to. I love listening to wind blowing.
I’ll have to remember to use my tins of lentils too, l bought a couple of tins to use , orange lentils are so handy to have in the cupboard .
And yes, random aches and pains are such a bloody nuisance when they start getting in the way of everyday life. Fingers crossed my calf and your back keep behaving now! 😁🙏🤞.
Had beans and cheese on toast for tea, DH had a ready meal curry . We will have gammon and beans and pots tomorrow. Going to watch Winter tonight it looks good 👍 😊

Tea was good @DirtyGertiefromno30 I went through to do dishes (imagine that dishes dumped...never happened before😁😁) ds's had emptied the pan except for the few bits of carrots i left in hopes.. still hot carrots left in a bit of gravy, i polished them off...yummmmy😁
Forced myself to 'waste' 10 mins in shower 😁 i even used my 3 minute miracle conditioner 😁😁

Slobbed on sofa chilling out.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 30/09/2026 21:46

I’m glad your tea was good 😋. And look at you! Hot carrots and gravy sound bloody lovely. And 10 whole minutes in the shower AND conditioner you were definitely pushing the boat out tonight 😂😂 . Now get yourself comfy on that sofa and enjoy your slob you’ve earned it! 🤣
This Winter is excellent we are really enjoying it 😁👏

Good morning everyone 🤗
Another beautiful day here the barometer has zoomed up to fine this morning and l am thrilled to bits 😁👏.
Popped to town to return a parcel then over to Waitrose for Broad beans for tea with the gammon l am looking forward to it l can tell you 😋😁
Home now and just having a cuppa before l tackle the washing. I do not know where it comes from but 4 adults don't half make a lot 😱😁.
DH gone for a walk .
Hope everyone is ok and having this gorgeous Indian Summer ❤️

Afternoon all.
Lovely here to @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Bin is emptied and washed down. We just need to figure out how to make a flap at the bottom. I need to see if I have nuts in the tool box to put on a screw for a bit of wood to hold flap shut. Coffee time first. Forgot to put washing on first thing but its on now.
(Arghh bloody site is still playing up when trying to alter letters).
Out back needs sweeping as well, joy.
Got my floor bucket out c.u.s to wash bin with...humongous spider in it! It got thrown outside 😁
Hope everyone is having a good day.

Thebookofcarolagain · 01/10/2026 13:57

Whoooo hooo I have a compost bin!
The plastic was too thick to make a flap as it wouldn't bend so just cut a hole. Have 2 bits of broken flagstone in front. Have emptied many bags of used compost and aporopriate garden waste into it (well ds2 did) so much more room out back/side of house now. Have a plastic box in kitchen with kitchen waste to go in, am ridiculously pleased🤣Once washing is done and dried i will hang bags up to dry on whirly. Another tick off my list 😁
It doesn't look great but its off my gravel out front and is now usefull.
Coffee time methinks

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 01/10/2026 16:36

Afternoon everyone 🤗
You’ve been Hella busy @Thebookofcarolagain! 😁 That compost bin sounds like a proper success, even if it doesn’t look pretty. So much more room for you now
And a spider in the bucket would’ve finished me off! 🤣 Definitely coffee time after all that. Another load ticked off the list! Well done you!
Been to my hospital appointment at the Cardiology dept for my 48hr halter ECG monitor . It is ok ATM. fingers crossed it stays on 🤞🙏🤗
