Ha ha whatever takes your fancy @DirtyGertiefromno30 boiled eggs it is.😄
Glad you at least gotta cuppa, makes all the difference.
Have very procrastinating all day just doing the absolute necessary😁 Was gonna bake but didn't have enough butter left so took some out freezer for tomorrow.
Hope you find gf hot cross buns, definately high on your list.

Thebookofcarolagain · 04/08/2026 20:13

Of course the suns been bleaching in front window for an hour. I am melting!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/08/2026 20:51

Haha boiled eggs it was @Thebookofcarolagain😂

Sounds like you’ve perfected procrastinating while still doing the essentials! 😁 Butter out for tomorrow, good plan. Hope I find those GF hot cross buns! And typical, sun blasting through the window just as you’re melting! 🥵

Ooff, hope dh feels better pdq and your arm isn't sore for long @DirtyGertiefromno30
I just spilt a glass of juice on the damm sofa. My dressing gown tie stuck between the seats and pulled it over as i walked around the table 😡 Got some on a throw and a zip up and found a bra i was sewing when I was throwing everything off the sofa!
Trust me. It's not even good juice, I got a big bottle of Rubicon cherry and raspberry.to try for a change. Very artificial tasting tbh, but it's bought now.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/08/2026 22:35

Oh no @Thebookofcarolagain😩. What a palaver! Typical that the dressing gown tie would catch and pull the whole glass over 🤦‍♀️ . Hope you’ve managed to get the juice out of the sofa and throw before it stains. And finding the half finished sewing project underneath everything made me laugh 😂 At least the bra turned up! And of course it had to be the horrible artificial tasting juice you didn’t even like! 🤣 You’ll be drinking it now just because you’ve bought the bloody stuff 🤣 .Ah thank you re my Dh hes so tired bless him. Time for bed l think 🤔. Hope you get a good night's sleep 💤😴🤗

Back from HC. Had a good long chat with pharmacist. He is putting me down for blood tests to check my iron and vit D (was on it years ago as it was quite low) He went through all my meds and cancelled ones I dont use now, don't need. He explained them all as well. He cancelled my iron meds as he reckons I wont need it as my last haemoglobin was fine. Hes said they can always start it again if nec. Good visit, we had a laugh as well. One tablet can cause stomach bleeds but I have 10 years before that kicks in unless i find myself throwing up coffee grounds before that.😁
Popped into coop for choc chips and got 3 good single pies in reduced section.
Washing in but hanging back from putting throw out as its getting kinda cloudy...
Coffee and hot cross bun time😁 (sorry @DirtyGertiefromno30 )

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/08/2026 17:01

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Been busy here today @Thebookofcarolagain . Kim Clam feeling worse than me , so l cleaned the fridge freezers, the downstairs toilet , done the washing and drying hoovered downstairs. We then took Dd2 and her BF to Bristol airport , they were going to Dublin for 4 days and a day trip to Belfast to see the Titanic museum. Dropped them off then went to Costco to do the shopping. On the way home & picked up a prescription from Waitrose for Dd1 and got some stuff for Mum for tomorrow. Popped to Morrisons and Aldi . Then home and ut everything away, another lot of washing out , hopefully it will dry Phew 🤣! Kim Clam took more Paracetamol and he is ok thankfully. 🙏. I took some too but l am better than him tbh. Found some Doughlicous

Just popped on and you posted at exactly the right time @DirtyGertiefromno30
Sky cleared a bit, putt throw out, walked back in went through to livingroom...it was raining! Rushed back out brought it in then 5 mins later it stopped!" Gave up and left it inside. Wind blowing a damm gale now!
You have been busy! Hope you plan on sitting down a while😁 great find on the biccies. I am trying to persuade myself to go bake..
Sewed my bra and put washing away. Bathroom done and I ran out steam.😄
Hope dh feels better soon.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/08/2026 17:13

You’ve been a right busy bee today @Thebookofcarolagain 😂. Washing out, throw in, deadheading, collecting Aquilegia seeds and planting your little flowers out front! And finally the Dahlia has flowered!! 😂🌸 It’s obviously been sulking just to wind you up, the bugger! 🤣
Glad you had a good chat with the Pharmacist, sounds like he was really thorough and actually took the time to go through everything with you 🤗👏. Getting the iron and Vit D checked sounds like a very good idea, especially as your Vit D was low before. And at least your haemoglobin is fine so you don't need the horrible iron for now.
10 years before the stomach bleeds kick in though 😱!! I think I'd rather not hang around waiting for the coffee grounds to make an appearance thanks very much! 🤣🤣
And well done on the Co-op haul. Chocolate chips AND 3 reduced pies!! That's a successful trip in my book . You couldn't leave them there!
I'd leave the throw too, sod's law it'll start raining the minute you hang it out! 🙄😂
And now coffee and a hot cross bun... You traitor to the Coeliacs @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣🤣🤣.
After all that gardening and faffing about you deserve it . Put your feet up and enjoy it, you deserve a bit of peace and a nice hot cross bun 😋😁.
Burger and salad again tonight 😁 😋

You’ve made me laugh with your bloody weather @Thebookofcarolagain😂😂! Honestly, it’s like you are playing washing roulette at the moment , put it out and it rains, bring it in and the sun comes out! 🌧️🤣
And you sewing your long lost brassiere absolutely finished me! 😂 Who knew it was still hiding amongst the sofa treasures waiting for its moment to shine again! 😆 . Well done on getting the bathroom done and the washing away too . I think you were perfectly entitled to run out of steam after all that 🤗
We have definitely done enough today. Anr I’m going to take your advice and park my backside for a while! 😁 And yes, the biccies were a cracking find 😋
Hope you get a nice quiet evening after you have done your tea , Baki g and washing and wiping up and thank you for asking about DH that's so kind of you ❤️. He's feeling ok but he's knackered bless him early night tonight .

I got my bum off the sofa and have made choc chip buns and biscuits @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Have run out of Sr flour and castor sugar 😱. Another thing on the list for next week!
Just having saus and bacon butties for tea. Have those bake at home baguettes to use up. Then its relax time. No more today.😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/08/2026 19:34

Ooooh look at you getting your bum off that sofa! Well done @Thebookofcarolagain😂👏. Choc chip buns AND biscuits too, you’ve been a busy little baker! 😋❤️ Definitely another couple of things for next week’s list, honestly, the list never bloody ends! 😂
Sausage and bacon butties sound perfect for your tea, especially with those baguettes to use up. 😋🥓🌭 Get them in you and then that’s IT! Feet up, no more jobs, no more baking and absolutely no feeling guilty about doing bugger all! Enjoy your evening ☺️
DH feels better he's taken more paracetamols , l am fine now thankfully.
He's watching the cricket 😁
I have managed to convince him we did the right thing having it done but apparently the side effects are worse the second jab . I am not telling him shush 🤫 Mums the word 🤣

Ha ha, poor dh but yeah dont tell him😁
Def doing no more tonight. Gotta get showered and do hair, taking ds1 to dentist tomorrow, oh joy.
Wish me luck i dont get in a tangle doing my hair😁😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 05/08/2026 22:14

Whohoo another Skyrim story. Listened to it as I got scrubbed and ready for bed. Another cracker. (Took 3 attempts to hear the last one i fell asleep twice so gave up and listened to it start to finish during the day 🤣)
I survived the hair fight too. Am having a stubby as a reward. 😋

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/08/2026 22:33

Clearly Skyrim is your bedtime sedative @Thebookofcarolagain! At least you stayed awake when you listened to it properly during the day 😁.
And well done surviving the hair fight!! That deserves a stubby as a reward I reckon 😋🍺. Now get yourself comfy, put your feet up and enjoy it absolutely NO more jobs tonight! 😁
Just going to bed here , DH flat out snoring in the recliner, l am tempted to leave him there snoring 💤😴🥱👃GrinHalo

Afternoon all.
Back from dentist. Popped in to asda as ds2 wanted stuff. Got steak and haggis pies for another day and a discounted gammon roast for tomorrow. Treated myself to a cinnamon swirl for my good deed😁
Overcast here again. Rubbish

Need to hoover i suppose but doing no more!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/08/2026 12:37

Afternoon everyone 🤗
You’ve definitely earned that cinnamon swirl after the dentist and an Asda run @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂😁 Steak and haggis pies sound lovely, and bargain gammon for tomorrow too. 😋
Forget the hoover for now, you’ve done enough! Feet up, cuppa and enjoy your swirl.
We are up with Mum she's got another UTI just picked up the antibiotics for her . Just waiting for her to wake up now
Hope everyone is having a good day 😊

Thebookofcarolagain · 06/08/2026 14:38

Oh that's a shame @DirtyGertiefromno30 hope it's cleared up pdq.
Have done nothing so far! Shocking. Just no enthusiasm. Will do hoovering later.

Thebookofcarolagain · 06/08/2026 14:39

Ooooohhh I forgot....i have a tomato growing!!!!! The world's smallest tomato but its there😁😁😁 out of 2 plants!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/08/2026 15:14

AHH uour tiny tomato deserves a celebration after all that waiting 😁! One out of two isn’t bad going 😁 And don’t worry about doing nothing. Hoovering can wait until you’re ready.
I have done nothing except sat by Mum all day trying to get her to drink . It is what it is 🤗
