Afternoon everyone 😊
Oh what a rotten night you've had @Thebookofcarolagain! Frustrating that the Amitriptyline set your restless legs off, l hate that it's like an itch you can't scratch 😱. Glad you managed to get back to bed eventually though. Skyrim sounds like a good companion in the early hours for you 🤗.
Oh dear, you're getting all these fudge ideas 😂😂 . Hope it turns out better than you expect 😋.
I've been busy here, washing and drying 2 loads, put it all away , washed my hair, took Mum's friend shopping and cleaned the fridge freezers! Had soup and toast for dinner and I'm cooking chicken breast , beans and roast sweet potatoes for tea tonight and tomorrow.
Hope you have a better night tonight @Thebookofcarolagainand your back is feeling better bless you 🤞🙏.
Funnily enough they had salted caramel and clotted cream fudge in Aldis today 😋. My favourite is the Scottish tablet they do , it's delicious 😋.
Mum was ok for my sister thank God 🤗. Weather is dull and drab here no hope of drying washing out there today🙄. Hope everyone is ok

Busy day @DirtyGertiefromno30 ! Have a rest now!

I have done very little. Fell asleep for a while which annoyed me.
Really cloudy and miserable here too. I am considering puting the light on its so dull.
Got steak and haggis pies for our tea at the bakery yesterday. Ds1 has had his already, ds2 made himself a fry up about 1 so it will be just me at tea time as ds2 wont be hungry then. Oh well easy peasy.😄
Back still annoying, my hips have been put on back to front i think.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/11/2026 16:30

Aww, don't be annoyed with yourself for having a sleep you must have needed it @Thebookofcarolagain! It's so gloomy here too, feels more like December tbh, roll on the lighter days 🙄. Those steak and haggis pies sound lovely 😋. Can't beat an easy tea when you have aches and pains and that sounds delicious 😋. Sorry your back and hips are still playing up. I think the hips being put on back to front might be a pretty good description! 😂 Hope they ease off a bit for you love 🤗. Just put my dinners away in the fridge and listening to The Archers 😁. I think it's Monty's last appearance on GW tonight 😱😭

Oh no @DirtyGertiefromno30 😱 will have to watch it...😢
Just having my tea now. Yours sounds delish (except the sweet pots😄) And all ready for tomorrow too, win win.
Blooming freezing here now.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/11/2026 19:22

Enjoy your tea @Thebookofcarolagain 😋. I like Sweet pots 😂. Thank God tea is all sorted for tomorrow too, that's a bonus. It's absolutely freezing here too, l have 3 layers on and blanket! 😂

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 06/11/2026 22:29

Me too @DirtyGertiefromno30 layered up and fleece blanket (and heat pad on my back!)
Just said Bye Bye to Monty😢 . End of an era.

Yes it is @Thebookofcarolagain. It will be odd without him and Ned 😭.

Good morning everyone 🤗
Weather is awful as per usual for this time of the year of course. It's a non stop day of rugby matches for the Autumn internationals in our house today 🙄. On our way to see Mum fingers crossed she is ok bless her.
Hope everyone is ok and has a lovely day 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 07/11/2026 12:03

Morning all.
Bit brighter here today, still cloudy but sun getting through.
Back is flipping tight as a drum making doing anything bloody hard so far. Driving me bonkers. Just want to get moving with stuff.

Hope your weather improves @DirtyGertiefromno30
Have a good day all.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/11/2026 12:32

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Just coming home from seeing Mum she was amazing there today bless her 🤗. Going to have some tea and Marmite toast for dinner when l get in l fancy it 😋 . The weather here has gotten worse @Thebookofcarolagain, raining like hell and only 10c 🙄. Glad it's a bit brighter there with you, even if the sun is struggling to get through. Oh your poor back, that must be so painful and annoying when you just want to get on and do things. Hope it eases off a bit as the day goes on. Don't overdo it though bless you 🤗

Afternoon all.
Have been pushing myself to try to loosen up my back with stretches, (anyone doing actual real exercises would laugh) and its about 5% looser 😄 Will keep it up.
Fudge is made and in fridge. Fingers crossed. I used caramel condensed milk so its caramel choc. How much choc?????😱
Gonna freeze half for Xmas. Will try a different kind once I get more choc. It's not real Scottish fudge, its USA cheats fudge😄
I love Scottish tablet too @DirtyGertiefromno30 but its tricky to get it right.
Weather no better sun has vanished.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/11/2026 15:19

Pah it's as dark as the hole of Calcutta here now and it's not even half 3 🙄 .
5% looser is a start @Thebookofcarolagainhopefully keeping up with the stretches will help even more bless you 🤗. That fudge sounds lovely, caramel chocolate 😍 😋. Definitely a good idea to freeze half for Christmas, if you can resist it that is 😂. I've been listening to the carols on BBC Sounds while doing a little bit of wrapping so lovely ❤️ 🤗. The family are all glued to the rugger 😂. Weather's miserable here too, where's our sunshine gone!

FridayNighFeeling · 07/11/2026 15:55

We had a warning for fog and it was rather foggy this morning and dull all day. Max 9 Hmm

Hope the stretches help you @Thebookofcarolagain and that you survive the rugby @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/11/2026 16:07

Blimey, sounds a miserable day weather wise for you @FridayNighFeeling! 🥶 9 degrees is flipping cold too. I'll try to survive the rugby, although I'm not sure the family will let me escape the sofa they want me for the added warmth ! 🤣🏉.
We have just put the Central heating on, first time this year, it's so cold 🥶.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 07/11/2026 17:19

Ooh cold where you are @FridayNighFeeling . Says its 10 here but to drop to 9 later.
Tea is nearly ready. Just a concoction of mince, minced sausages i needed to use, beans, veg, taco type seasoning wrapped in tortillas in a tomatoes and cream cheese sauce. Waiting on the cheese topping to finish. Hope its ok.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/11/2026 17:26

Ooh that sounds lovely @Thebookofcarolagain 😋 .A proper chuck it all in and hope for the best tea, they're often the best . I'm sure it'll be delicious, especially with that cheesy topping. Enjoy your tea lovely ❤️

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 07/11/2026 17:45

Mmmmmmmmm that was rather tasty @DirtyGertiefromno30 throw everything at it to use up win. Had some cherry toms that needed using up so threw them in with tinned toms.

Fudge is rather tasty too😋 I have been good and put half in freezer😱 will need to get a ton more cheap choc to make other kinds for Xmas. 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/11/2026 21:54

Nothing better than throwing everything in to use it up and it turning out lovely , great job @Thebookofcarolagain 😋😁. Half the fudge in the freezer is very sensible although I bet the other half won't last long 😋 Cheap chocolate hunting next then! 😁
We've been watching the rugby and thankfully that's all over for today phew 😂 Watching Strictly on catch up now 🤗❤️

Sounds like you've had a fairly quiet day, although those stretches sound brutal 😬 Hope your back eases off a bit, there's nothing worse than struggling to bend over. Glad you enjoyed your You Tube last night. I posted just after you did and just realised 😂
