It's that time again 🤗

Done all the meat for freezer, cleaned up kitchen, emptied bins. Coffee time before I hoover. And I have that bloody pumpkin to do!

Afternoon everyone 😊
Been to MacArthur glen outlet in Bridgend and bought a few things 😁. A new pr of shoes for me and DH , a coat for DH and a hoodie , a jumper for Dd1 and 4 boxes of Hotel Chocolat for Christmas presents all in the sale. We were supposed to go to Costco but on coming out of the outlet we saw there was terrible traffic on the M4 so we abandoned plans for Costco , on our way home now 😁.
You've been busy @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 Freezer sorted, kitchen cleaned and bins emptied well done you . Definitely time for a well earned coffee before the hoovering! 😂 Hope Ds1 get on well at the Job Centre. As for that bloody pumpkin, I'd be tempted to leave it till tomorrow definitely 😁

I thought you had bought your dd's Xmas pressies @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄😄 Hmmm🤔
Oooh Hotel Chocs on sale! I will be down soon, put the kettle on.
Been to.job centre and took ds2 down too. He has a sore calf it cramped up this morning and hadn't really sorted itself out properly yet. He says if it doesn't get better he will come home but I doubt it..its almost the end of the season so they will prob be busy so he wont leave anyone in the lurch.
Ds1 is gutted they are going to be starting a building of a Viking boat at the boatyard next month, his job centre guy told him about it but he can't do that with the state of his hands. He couldn't do it without gloves to protect them but isn't supposed to wear gloves for any length of time as it screws them up too so hours a day is a nope. Hell i would love to do that but I suspect I wouldn't be much use in among a bunch of strapping blokes.😄😄😄 I could make the coffee😄😄
All cloudy now and cooler, bleurgh, just stop.

Haha, I thought the same about the Christmas presents @Thebookofcarolagain, clearly there's still some shopping to be done according to the Dds 😂 . Hotel Chocolat on offer is always a good excuse though, kettle's on 😁. Hope your DS2's calf settles down, especially if he's determined to soldier on until the end of the season bless him . That is such a shame about DS1 and the Viking boat, l bet he'd have loved that 😱😭. You'd be perfectly qualified for the coffee making role, very important job! 🤣.
Just sat down now , all my washing dried except for a pr of jeans yay! I put it out a 10am though and only now got it inside , it's taken all day 😁.
All put away and a nice cuppa now 😁

I had chicken stir-fry tonight very nice tbf. It's gone cold after the lovely warm day we had today . Supposed to be down to 4C here tonight 😱.
Last episode of the Traitors tonight and GW on too yay !

Definately getting colder here too @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Had gammon in a bit of gravy on hot baguettes for tea. Pretty tasty.
Havent heard from ds2 yet so he must be good. I messaged him but must be busy. If i out my jammies on will he want a lift later or get a lift? Hmmm.
Yeah GW. I watched 2 one after the other at begining of the week. Oooh the cacti....

Ooh that sounds lovely, gammon and gravy in a hot baguette, proper comfort food @Thebookofcarolagain! 😋
Typical that as soon as you get comfortable your DS2 might decide he needs a lift bless him . Hopefully no news is good news and he's having a lift 🤞. I've watched Traitors but not GW yet , they want to watch the rugby 🙄🤣

He didn't need a lift thankfully @DirtyGertiefromno30 He has got his gammon baguette so he is happy.

Havent watched GW either will watch in morning. Watched a Caleb video ftom about 2years ago, pre shouting! Lovely lady, he was reslly nice to her too while pointing out she needed to get extra income. (She was working)Then watched the follow up a year later...she had paid off all her cc's,had a second income, some savings, etc etc. (And lost 20lbs as not buying crap food) He was so pleased with her, so proud of her. She was fab. So nice to see someone who discussed her problems, explained everything properly and just absolutely went for it. Good for her. All the comments were cheering her on then telling her how fab she was 2nd video. Such a change from the usual asses on there.😄
Might have a pop on Skyrim dont have to get up early tomorrow 😄

Good afternoon everyone 🤗. Well we have had a whirlwind of a morning, had our flu vaccinations , dropped off 2 charity bags of books and did a little bit of shopping in Aldi, bought birthday cards and posted them , chucked the washing out on the line and on our way home from seeing Mum now who was fine, phew . We are both ok after the jabs too yay! 😁.
Time for a bit of dinner and a cuppa 😋
Glad Ds2 didn't need a lift after all @Thebookofcarolagain , that gammon baguette sorted him out nicely by the sound of it 😋. Such a lovely success story off Caleb's channel . She must have been so pleased with how much she'd achieved in a year. Really nice to see someone turn things around so completely and get so much encouragement 🤗. Hope you enjoyed your Skyrim and made the most of not having an early start this morning 😁.
Have a lovely day everyone 🤗

Had 2 bacon rolls for dinner very nice too, love bacon 😋. Gorgeous day here a proper Autumn day 13C so not too cold just right 👍.
Happy Halloween everyone 🤗
😱👺🫣⚰️🧟🕸️💀🧙☠️👹🩻🧛🗡️⛓️👻🎃😁

Phew! Hoovered the house, wash on, dishes done and finally carved the damm pumpkin. Was just a small one and funnily enough more awkward than a big one 😡. But its done.
Coffee time.

Wash is taking forever so have it on spin to hurry it up. Won't be worth putting it out now.
You have been busy @DirtyGertiefromno30 those bacon butties were well deserved. I did sleep in even though I didn't stay up much later than usual! Crazy. Its quite nice here too for a change.

Well done @Thebookofcarolagain🤗 Funny how the little pumpkins can be more awkward than the big ones. At least it's done now! Typical the blinking washing machine taking forever when you want to get on with things 🙄. No point at all in putting it out . Glad you had a lie in this morning do you good 👍. Those bacon butties went down very nicely after all my jobs 😁. It's been lovely out so nice to have some decent weather for a change 🤗.
Put the washing away, cleaned the toilet downstairs and put the hoover over , DH has been cutting the hedge being it's such nice weather 🤗

Spoke too soon its flipping freezing here now @DirtyGertiefromno30
Sunsets pretty but its dark inside the house!

@Thebookofcarolagain freezing here too 🥶
Just waiting for the trick or treaters 😂🪄👺⚰️🧟🕸️🤸🕯️🎃👻⛓️🗡️🧛🩻🤡🦇👹🕷️🙀🫣🧌

Have had a fair few but not as many as usual. The older ones are starting now though @DirtyGertiefromno30

Oh fabulous @Thebookofcarolagain🤩 we have had a few too ,some excellent costumes on the kids TBF 😊.

Shut up shop.😄 Decs are all in except pumpkin. Got a fair few sweets left! Not good!1
Had a sarnie and crisps. Have cut back my toms to a few leafy branches to keep it going to ripen last of toms. Some are too small i suspect.
Blooming cold now.

You'll have to be strong and resist those leftover sweets @Thebookofcarolagain 😂 . Fingers crossed , the last few time manage to ripen. Drama opposite us , 4 police cars 8 policemen breaking up a neighbours kids party . Honestly you would swear it was a den of drug dealers . The kids were drinking alcohol in the house, of course they were at 17 haven't we all , they weren't causing any trouble l suspect their next door neighbour who used to be a policeman called them 🙄

Your nextdoor neighbour is an idiot if they werent causing any trouble @DirtyGertiefromno30. It's actually legal to be drinking alcohol with parents consent in the house from the age of 5.!!
17 for goodness sake!
Rained overnight and cloudy and damp here now. Bleurgh. Maybe it will brighten up .

Good morning everyone 🌞
Sunny and blue skies here this morning 😁. Sitting with Mum, she's still asleep and l haven't got the heart to wake her bless her ❤️.
Exactly @Thebookofcarolagain! They were doing absolutely nothing wrong, so I don't know what the neighbour's problem was. 17 for goodness sake, hardly babies 🙄. Makes me sick, talk about ridiculous use of police resources 🙄 .Hopefully the weather will brighten up for you there 😊.

Halloween decs all put away. Took a bit of juggling as new cardboard box isn't deep enough but managed to get my cauldron in the big zip up bag with the big things. What a faff😄
Ds2 passed them up to me in attic, when I came down I said..."Next stop...XMAS! " He said "I am gonna close off that hatch properly! " 😄😄
This is tech his last day at work, well last day they are open he still has to go in next week to close it all down and deep clean. Then staff party. Crikey how time flies.

Now he is finishing we need to organise a day to go up to the shopping park outside Edinburgh to get our winter stuff, pressies etc. Ds1 wants clothes and no doubt both will buy themselves stuff. I just want bras!!!! And maybe a pair of jammies some of mine are getting a bit ancient😄😄 Will pop into Hotel Choc for a little treat to.😉 Urghhh hate the whole driving bit though.
Still dry here, slightly brighter but not much @DirtyGertiefromno30

Well i got a burst of vims and vigours there.
Went out with the compost, took my scissors (cos you know..) so deadheaded a few flowers back and front, cut my hollyhock stem, swept up out back and sides and swept the leaves into piles at either end where I know the toads go. Put the holyhock stem into a paper bag and hung it up in c.u.s you never know. The seed heads arent dry exactly but they may dry out
I have some seeds from it but you always need backups.😄 Your dh will hopefully agree @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄
Foxgloves i grew from seeds are still thriving in garden as are the snap dragons, the Nine be praised and still have a few dahlia flowers ftom my my reluctant plants. Put my new foxglove seedlings outside in sun and put my tomatoes out too, fingers crossed they will enjoy the sun.
Coffee time methinks. Now somebody stop me its Sunday after all 😉

Afternoon everyone 😊
Came home from seeing Mum about 1ish and popped to Tesco to see if they had some bargains because l had a £6 off a £40 spend coupon . Anyway l had £75 worth of shopping for £34 😂 . Yay! I stuck to the Aldi price match stuff and the clubcard prices and the yellow stickers l was well pleased 😁.
Mum very tired there today and wasn't very happy, they think she's got another UTI so are ringing the GP tomorrow. She was fine there but very aggressive when l tried to get her to drink for me bless her she just wanted to be left alone 😔.
Sounds like you've had a very productive Sunday @Thebookofcarolagain! I can just imagine your DS2 threatening to seal the attic hatch after the Christmas announcement. He knows what's coming 😂. Lovely that you're getting a shopping trip organised and Hotel Chocolat is definitely a necessary stop 😋! And look at you with your burst of gardening energy! Your garden sounds to be doing brilliantly, especially the Foxgloves and Snapdragons. Fingers crossed for the tomatoes . Good thinking with the Hollyhock seeds, you can never have too many backup , Kim Clam would agree with you definitely😂
I have just eaten 2x bacon rolls and 2 chocolate cupcakes that my Dd2 bought me from the indoor market in town yesterday and they were delicious 😋. Nice cuppa tea now and watching Scooby Doo on Spooky island the Dds wanted to watch it 😂

Laughing at Scooby Doo that's a blast from the past @DirtyGertiefromno30
Its freezung here now. It got cold just after my last post! Sitting with a hot water bottle and fleece!
Ds1 was asking about tea, I have chicken strips but of course ds2 will be late home... so ds1 has ordered takeaway. I am getting jumbo sausage and chips. Silly price but its only once in a blue moon I pay for takeaway. Have curry sauce to make, see if its any good or might just stick to brown sauce.
Listening to Skyrim stories, very relaxing (although the stories aren't always relaxing 😄).
Hope your mum feels better pdq.
Blooming good shop! Well done you. Hmm choc cakes very nice, I was good and didnt order any pud. Still have one Lindor left and have got a Frys Choc cream. Haven't had one in foreve😋
I am starving and got to sit and wait on whenever tea arrives😭

Watched Scooby Doo, l haven't seen it before ,it was alright and definitely a blast from the past @Thebookofcarolagain .It's blooming cold here too. A hot water bottle and fleece sound just the ticket l have put my blanket on my legs too 🥶. Sausage and chips sound lovely 😋. The Skyrim stories sound relaxing, even if the tales aren't always 😂! Hope your tea arrives soon, nothing worse than being hungry and waiting. Thanks for asking about Mum too, that's lovely of you. I will ring later to see how she is bless her but she's not going to improve until she's had the antibiotics tomorrow realistically 😔. Having Lasagna for tea tonight yummy 😁 🤤 😋
