Sounds like you’ve got loads done again @Thebookofcarolagain, washing folded and everything!👏 Now put your feet up and enjoy that wine, it's very well deserved! 🍷😁

Ha ha @DirtyGertiefromno30 shame you can't indulge though.

Its gone hotter again. It was 25 when we went shopping! Then 19 by time ne we got home then cooled down more now it's boiling again.😡
Might need a lolly😉
Pottering on Skyrim. Found a new place! Just a hole in ground with a chest but new all the same then as I headed onwards it froze! Couldn't find it again after I reloaded last save😡

Thebookofcarolagain · 10/08/2026 22:39

Found it! 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 10/08/2026 22:46

Haha definitely time for a lolly @Thebookofcarolagain! 😁 This weather is all over the place, no wonder you don't know whether you're coming or going! 😂 Glad you found your little hole and chest again, I bet that was doing your head in! 😡🤣
No smoke smell tonight thankfully so we can have the windows open yay!
Goodnight everyone 🤗

I am in bed! Amazing! But for some reason I am knackered.
Goodnight all.
Didn't have a lolly @DirtyGertiefromno30 was very restrained.😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 11/08/2026 08:11

Good morning everyone ☀️
Going to the market and library this morning early . Not smoky this morning or in the night .Hope you slept well @Thebookofcarolagain 🤗.
Hope everyone has a lovely day 😊

Afternoon all.
I had a weird night @DirtyGertiefromno30 kept waking up, going back to sleep, waking up, so annoying!
Sunny here again not as hot though.

Decided to try to fix my huge succulent. Looked up on line. Maybe put it into a too big pot, but I did it so I could push supports in deep. Have repotted it into a smaller pot, that can still hold the supports. (and put it in deeper to hopefully encourage new roots) Its in the sink to hopefully soak up the water. It will either kill or cure it. It's not looking great anyway so anything is worth a try. Will be really sad if it just dies, its glorious.
Hope you got good bargains at the market.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 11/08/2026 12:54

Afternoon everyone! 😁 Oh no, that broken sleep is so annoying @Thebookofcarolagain, especially when you keep dropping back off only to wake again! 🙄 At least it’s sunny there and not quite as hot.
Hope your lovely Succulent makes it! 🤞. Sounds like you’ve given it the best possible chance, and fingers crossed the smaller pot and deeper roots do the trick. I’d be gutted too if it died, especially as it’s such a glorious one! 🌵🙏.
Been to the market got Dd2 a caterpillar birthday cake for £2 from the cake man . Still In date up on the 16th great bargain. l can't eat it DH wont eat it and Dd2 won't eat it so it's really just for the candles and sing happy birthday to really ❤️
Her birthday is tomorrow bless her . 31 😱.
Got shopping from Tesco and cards from HB , got some reduced bread rolls for me from Tesco £1 instead of £2. So that was good 😊. Also got myself some Nairns choc chip biscuits from there so l will try them today 😁
Just sitting down to rice cakes and peanut butter and a cuppa AHH 😋

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 11/08/2026 14:11

That's a good bargain for a cake even if its not gonna get eaten @DirtyGertiefromno30
Send it up here, shame to let it go to waste😉
Great you found reduced rolls too. Hope the choc chip biccues are good.
Just made ds2 paranoid. He was making his dinner, a fry up and I kept inching towards the plate as he was testing the sausages in pan. 😄 I was making a coffee and saying oooh I cant reach the coffee....he grabbed it moved the kettle and said now you can go away🤣 I always tell him.he is so kind to make me a plate of food and get told where to go 😁
Have sown a few foxglove seeds just to see if they will take for the following year. Got a few nasturtiums seeds to see if they will dry on windowsill. There's plenty left on plant to keep going.
My lovely white hellebore is flowering, yeah.

Have tidied up the kitchen, succulent is on its plate in window. If wind drops i will put it out in sun.
Bathroom done, washing on, cba to do much else but no doubt will.😄
Happy Birthday to your DD hope she has a great day tomorrow.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 11/08/2026 14:28

AHH your poor DS2, you do love tormenting him while he’s trying to make his dinner! 😂 Sounds like he knows you too well though, moving the kettle out of reach and sending you away! 🤣
Lovely that your Foxgloves and Nasturtiums are coming along, and yay for the white Hellebore flowering! 🌸 You’ve actually got loads done today with the kitchen, bathroom and washing, so put your feet up now, although I know you’ll probably find something else to do! 😄
Aw thank hank you for the birthday wishes for DD 2 ❤️
Had dinner now watching The qualifiers for the European Athletics 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 11/08/2026 15:45

Have put washing out its now blowing a gale and cold outside 😡
Been eating a Milka choc bar ds1 recommended. Its nice, very sweet but moreish at the same time! Have put it away!
Gonna have a salad sarnie for tea Not cooking today. Ds2 is off to work. Ds1 bought enough stuff for himself he can make himself something later.
Thinking might just chill now. Brought all the damm plants in again. I am a slave to flipping plants! 😁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 11/08/2026 17:31

Oh no, typical @Thebookofcarolagain! Put the washing out and the weather decides to turn into a gale 😡😂 .At least you’ve got an excuse for a lazy evening now. That Milka sounds dangerous though, best thing was putting it away before the whole bar mysteriously disappeared! 😂. Salad sarnie sounds perfect, definitely a no cooking day. And those plants 🤣 you really are their slave ! 😁 Now put your feet up and chill, you’ve earned it 😁
Just wrapped up Dd2 presents and done the cards for her tomorrow 🤗.
I am copying you and having a couple of rolls probably cheese and onion 😋 🧅 l love cheese and onion sarnies 😋.
DH done the watering and we are settled watching the Chase . Sewing Bee on tonight 😁

Brought washing in but it wasn't dry so just hung it up.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 11/08/2026 23:34

Sounds like a proper slob night for you @Thebookofcarolagain 😁. Tea, jammies, sofa and a bit of YouTube and Skyrim just perfect! 😂 At least you got the washing in, even if it decided not to dry 🙄.
I have left mine out to be darked on @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣.

Glad the fire is under control now @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Hopefully will be out soon.
Was up.at 3.30 after a ridiculous, bad dream. 😡 Not impressed why does your brain make up that crap?
Hope you all have a great day.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/08/2026 11:35

Morning @Thebookofcarolagain😊
27 would do me too instead of 33C . I’ll happily take that! 😂.
Welsh Water have been and sorted the leak, thank God! One less thing to worry about. Hope you have a lovely day, despite the stupid 3.30am dream! 😂 Why does our brain come up with such rubbish? 😡
Up seeing Mum ATM she's flat out shes got the right idea 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 12/08/2026 13:18

Ha ha at your mum @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Quite right too.
Good news on the water leak. Hopefully that's it done properly this time.
Wish I had glasses to watch the eclipse tonight, will need to faff with cardboard instead. That's if the sky stays clear!
Haven't done much at all so far, been really lazy. Put plants out, dishes, drank coffee😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 12/08/2026 16:02

Well I hauled my ass if the sofa.
Been out and potted on my snap dragons seedlings into bigger pots, planted 2 aquilegias out into garden and a yellow 'daisy'. Pulled out some past poppies, staked up the red poppies that were all flopped, got seeds, pulled out forget me nots and toadflax. Found a couple of new plants growing from the seeds I sowed 😁 Bagged everything up and now having a coffee. Will have to water garden later damm. (Did water stuff I moved)
Sun keeps going in and out clouds. Nice when it's out!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/08/2026 16:38

Afternoon everyone 😊
You’ve actually done loads for someone who said you’d been lazy @Thebookofcarolagain😂 . That sofa didn’t want to let you go did it! 😂
Your garden will look lovely with all those plants, and finding new ones growing from your seeds is such a fantastic bonus 😁 .You’ll have to get your carcass out again later to water them unfortunately 😂 . DH is watering as l speak . Hope the clouds clear for the eclipse tonight for you , cardboard glasses and all! ☕😁.

Gave Mum a good wash and washed her hair , l left it to dry on its own because it's so hot there l thought she could benefit from it tbh . Cool her down . She was pretty good there TBF after she woke up thank God.
Got the rest of my gf prescription today it only took 13 days 🤣. You can't make it up 🤣. Will give the stuff a try l ha e put it all in the freezer thank God l had room because it's been so long coming the dates are nearly up on it 🤣.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 12/08/2026 17:54

Crikey that's a wait @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Hopefully its edible!
Have watered everything. Am knackered! Was gonna do chichen 'schnitzel ' for tea but its now fish, too much faffing with chicken.
Got my bits of paper at the ready for tonight, wash is upstairs, so sitting down for 10 mins before I start tea.
Good call on your mums hair, very cooling. Its a bit cloudy here and cooler. Bet i cant see a damm thing😡

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/08/2026 19:35

Fish is much easier to cook than faffing about with chicken snitzels after all that watering @Thebookofcarolagain don't blame you 😁! Had my bits of paper ready too! Hope you got a good view through the clouds and enjoyed your tea 😋😁.
I had a ready meal of GF Aldis frozen chicken tikka and 2 small GF flat breads, but like Naan breads and it was lovely. Not tried the gf bread from the pharmacy yet fingers crossed 🤞
