Morning all.
Made it to hosp. No damm parking again! Had to park on top road and walk all the way back. 😡 Every inch of main carpark taken even the lined off bits!, oh well. 3 hours round trip just for a 10 min scan, drives me potty.
Bit of rain on way over but thankfully nothing here so far.
Didnt sleep till about 2 so amazed I heard alarms😄
Hope you all have a good one.

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/10/2026 12:16

Got home just after 11 and before the bin lorry cane roubdxdo yeah win😄
When I went back to car top road was full either side. Ridiculous.
Got gammon in oven for tea/sarnies. Sorted out my meds and put in diary. I get 2 months at a time except for one. I get 2 boxes but I take two a day so should get 4 bloody boxes. Never do so that mucks up reordering.
Gotta get Halloween stuff outta attic oh joy wish me luck...

Thebookofcarolagain · 28/10/2026 13:42

Decorations done. Had 2 bloody wasps fly out the box and bag! They got the hoi. Just did window and door and a few skulls in trough at door, will put my cauldron and lantern out on the day. Still got pumpkin to carve.

Need to sort out attic, all that wind has dropped crap all over some stuff at skylight end. 😡
Coffee time.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/10/2026 13:46

Afternoon everyone 😊
Just on the way home from seeing Mum who was fine there thankfully.
Going to have some dinner , think it's going to be soup 😋. Dry here now and not a bad day 🤗.
Honestly @Thebookofcarolagain ,
3 hours for a 10 min scan, and then having to park miles away. No wonder it drives you potty. You must be shattered after not getting to sleep till 2 bless you . At least you beat the bin lorry, every little helps 😂
That’s a right pain with your meds, you’d think they could get that sorted wouldn’t you, especially when you’re taking 2 a day. Just makes more work for you having to keep sorting it all out 🙄.
Ohh Gammon, lovely 😋, l love Gammon, one of my favourites we had it yesterday and it's so handy some over for sarnies too. Good luck getting the Halloween stuff out of the attic, hope you can find everything without having to empty the whole shebang 😂
Hope everyone is ok and having good weather 🤗

We cried posted @Thebookofcarolagain 😁.
Oh heck, 2 wasps jumping out at you! 😱. That would have given me a fright too . Sounds like you've got most of your Halloween stuff sorted now well done. That wind has a lot to answer for😱. Enjoy your coffee ☕ 😁

Hi all, we've got rain and wind but thankfully avoided the worst of both storms.
DGS is similar in age to DS. Hope he had a nice birthday.

Hope you have dried out @Thebookofcarolagain

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/10/2026 14:43

Glad you escaped the worst of the storms @FridayNighFeeling 😊. it's been awful in places hasn't it! Hopefully we'll get some calmer weather now. 😊 Aw fancy your DS being 14 , they grow up far too quickly don't they! I just don't know where the time has gone with my girls 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/10/2026 15:06

Yes thanks @FridayNighFeeling . Have someone coming to check door to decide what to do on Monday morning. Fingers crossed. Glad you escaped the worst of the weather.
Have sorted out a drawer with my paper bags, sellotape, tea candles and a bunch of other stuff. Threw out a lot of chemist bags, kept just a few and a couple of brown bags, was determined to clean it out. I will get more bags i dont need a ton just now.😄 Now its all tidy and easy to see where everything is.
Ds2 has got his gammon tea, (he is working later) did waffles and he did a fried egg. Tried the gammon, yummm so juicy. He thankfully noticed yet another wasp on kitchen floor so out it went. Cant seem to get clear of these damm wasps i had in bathroom wall.
Doing no more today! But trying not to fall asleep.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/10/2026 15:39

Fingers crossed they can sort the door out on Monday for you @Thebookofcarolagain🤞. At least you’ve got that drawer all sorted now, it’s lovely when you can actually see what you’ve got instead of rummaging through everything 😂 . Those bloody wasps are a nuisance, hope you have got rid of them once and for all! Gammon sounds lovely, especially when it’s nice and juicy 😋 . You’ve done enough for one day now, put your feet up and relax 😊👏.
Just off to the GP for my pneumonia jab , hope it doesn't make me feel ill, l am going to see my friend tomorrow for lunch . Oh well l will have to dose myself up and bear with it !

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 28/10/2026 18:09

Hope you dont have any effects of the jab @DirtyGertiefromno30
Had my gammon yummmy. And the other gingerbread muffin with my cuppa. Better stay away from that part of HB next time😃😃
Blooming freezing here now supposed to rain ..
Need to finish dishes then go get scrubbed and get jammies on.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 28/10/2026 18:38

So far so good thank you @Thebookofcarolagain no side effects as yet 🤞🙏👍. Your gammon and that gingerbread muffin sound lovely 😋. Definitely best to avoid that bit of HB next time or you'll be coming home with even more goodies 🤣.
Just had the gammon leftovers from last night very nice too 😋.
Get the dishes done and get your jammies on, sounds like a cosy night and a cuppa is definitely in order , l will join you 😁.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/10/2026 10:48

Good morning everyone 😁
Dry here but very damp and miserable. Sticking the washing out but not holding my breath , it is warm here though 15C . Off to see my friend and have lunch with her today . Hope everyone is ok and has a lovely day ❤️

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 29/10/2026 11:51

Morning all.
Quite nice here for a change.
Been pottering about. Put all the painting sheets back, tidied up garden box and swept out c.u s. Swapped the box i have some of my Halloween stuff in with newer box. Sorted out carboard recycling. Washed kitchen floor.
Coffee time!
Ds1 has a wash on so that can go out when done.
No big plans today. Gonna do bathroom next, oh joy.
Have a good blether with your pal @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/10/2026 14:04

Afternoon everyone 🤗
You’ve been busy @Thebookofcarolagain .You’ve got loads done. Hope the weather stayed nice so you got the washing out. Had a good blether thanks, always nice to have a good catch up with a friend.
Had a jkt pot beans and cheese and full to bursting here 😁. Nice out here too now 🤗 . Just getting back time for a cuppa 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 29/10/2026 15:21

My washing machine is singing to me. My wash is done but its now cloudy and really cold 😡 Won't be worth the effort to put it out as its not gonna dry. Ds1s wash should be dry will have to get him to go get it.
Might have baked pot and ham for my tea. Am trying to hold off a bit but hungry....

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/10/2026 16:05

Typical, isn't it @Thebookofcarolagain.The minute you need to get washing out, the weather decides to turn miserable! At least your DS1's should be dry, so he can earn his keep and fetch it in 😂. That baked pot and ham sounds just the thing for a cold day.
Just felt hungry here too , l have eaten 3 plums , too soon for tea here yet .
Got the washing in and putittifunishin the tumble . I think some soup for tea and a bit of toast 🤗.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 29/10/2026 18:52

Got everything done and got ready for my jammies, came down and got a message on my WhatsApp about our quiz night tonight😄😄 oh well have my fleecy top on that's sll they will see. 😆😆
Tea was good @DirtyGertiefromno30 ham, baked pot, cheese, pinched a spoonful of ds2s coleslaw . Yummy.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/10/2026 19:45

At least you’ve got your fleecy top on, they’ll never know what you’ve got on underneath @Thebookofcarolagain🤣 Hope you have a lovely quiz night and got some good answers ready 😁 .
Glad you enjoyed your tea it sounded yummy 😊.
Waiting for The Traitors to come on . Beans on toast here tonight ,yes a double dose of beans today 🤣

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/10/2026 21:52

Had a great time thanks @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Didn't do too badly either😄 Was surprised!
First half was song introductions then tv themes with a connection. Was very nostalgic 😄 (and sometimes brain racking!)

Thebookofcarolagain · 29/10/2026 22:16

This year just gets worse.
R.I.P Sir Patrick Stewart. Truly amazing guy.😭

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 29/10/2026 22:58

Oh that sounds brilliant @Thebookofcarolagain 😄 . I love a bit of nostalgia, although I think some of those TV themes would have had me scratching my head too! 😂 Bet it brought back some memories hearing all those old songs and theme tunes. Glad you had a lovely time 😁.
Watched the Traitors, last one tomorrow 😊 nice hot chocolate.
Off to Costco tomorrow 😁

I know it's unbelievable @Thebookofcarolagain l have not heard that he was ill at all and l am sure he was interviewed on telly not long ago and looked perfectly fine .

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/10/2026 00:01

I know @DirtyGertiefromno30 and they are releasing his last XMen film soon. So sad, of all the illnesses to get he had to have one of the worst dementias. So unfair. Thankfuly not for long according to the statement.

Thebookofcarolagain · 30/10/2026 11:59

Morning all.
Sunny but nippy here.

Been to job centre and popped to coop for bread and plasters. Ds1 has job centre this afternoon so hopefully can take ds2 down as well for work.
Need to run hoover round but coffee first 😄

Have a good one.
