Damm its dark already!

God that wind sounds miserable and blinking cold @Thebookofcarolagain. Shame about the tattie cakes, but at least you know to do them the old fashioned way next time. Mum knows best 😁. Poor DS2 😂 Glad the pork was ok though. Fingers crossed the sneezing stays away! Good of the garage to adjust the handbrake for you free of charge. Zac's videos are mad, those ppl are up to their necks in debt. Don't get me started on Cadbury 🙄, it's disgusting crap 🫣🤮. I think jammies sound like a great idea 😁👏.
Had my soup then a couple of pieces of toast and 3 gf shortbread biscuits, they are alright but nothing like the real deal 🙄. It's flaming dark here as well 😱

Sneezing is back @DirtyGertiefromno30 ridiculous. Just appears outta nowhere!
Just relistened to the Skyrim story I fell asleep to last night. Damm, intense! Priest of Talos talking about his illegal congregation and his struggles dealing with it. Quietly horrifying considering what would happen if they were discovered by the Thalmar, especially if someone in the congregation was a snitch. Brilliant storytelling.
Cozied up in my jammies and layers.

Oh sneezing has stopped again 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/10/2026 20:02

Ooh, sounds like you picked a good bit to fall asleep to @Thebookofcarolagain . Storytelling muse be brilliant when it can still horrify you on a second listen 😁.
Glad the sneezing has stopped again, fingers crossed it stays away!
Catch up in your cosy jammies 😁
Time for a hot chocolate here . Watching Back at sea with Timothy Spall and Shane his wife , they're going to Scotland to Troon l love watching them in their barge Matilda 😊

I need to stop watching Zac and get on Skyrim. USA is insane! People horrified Ccard companies want thier money back! Going bankrupt just to do the same again wth makes people believe they deserve to waste other people's money on all the crap they buy? Some of the tiktoks have enough crap to out do Boots or Jenners! One guy has an entire room shelved out for all his perfumes! Women's and mens! Those things cost a fortune as you know! Hundreds and hundreds of them😱 one guy put a fancy hoodie on finance! A bloody hoodie!

Its the fact that Worshipping Talos is outlawed by outsiders who wanted to conquer Skyrim (but the Empire made a deal to stop them anahilating Skyrim. ) Not all Nords agree therefore there is civil war. . The Thalmor are like the High Elves Gestapo. And throughout the whole story his name isn't mentioned once...

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/10/2026 23:17

Honestly, the stuff people waste their money on is unbelievable @Thebookofcarolagain! An entire room full of perfume 😱 and a hoodie on finance 🤣! What on earth is wrong with people? Then they're horrified when the credit card companies want their money back! 🤣 I can see why you need to get back on Skyrim, at least you can escape the madness for a bit!
Right, stop watching Zac and get yourself on Skyrim! 😂❤️
We watched Bake off and Kim Clam watched the football 🙄
He was happy , Southampton won 🙄🤣.

Good girl you know it makes sense hope you enjoyed it and sorted out the game 🤣.
It was cold here last night @Thebookofcarolagainl bet the wind dropped with you that's why it was warmer 🤗.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/10/2026 09:20

Morning everyone 🤗
Just popping to my local town to take stuff back to Primark that didn't fit. Will pop into TKMaxx and the local Festival Christmas factory , we usually go to have a look but rarely buy anything 🤗. Well tbh it's more expensive than Christmas in Home Bargains and B&M there ! Got to pick up my prescription too , fingers crossed it's all there 🙄🤞
Hope everyone is ok and has a lovely day , weather supposed to be nice but it's wet and cold out ATM so we shall see 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 09:47

Morning all.
Been raining here but stopped now.
Not supposed to rain any more will see.
Xmas factory ??? Is it better quality or just the same cheap stuff as B&M?
Hope your meds are all there and ready for once @DirtyGertiefromno30
No big plans today. If it dries up might get into garden.
Have a good one all.

Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 12:17

Not even dressed and been pottering in kitchen 😄 Cleaned fridge out, hulled and cut a bunch of strawberries and got them in a bowl with sugar for later before they waste.
Finally decided to eat something and used up an apple..cooked with cinnamon and put in my porridge yummmm.
Still miserable here cloudy and grey.
Do I REALLY need to go get dressed? 😄
Oh I suppose so as have a pile of dishes waiting for me.🙁

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/10/2026 14:09

Afternoon everyone 😊
You've done more than enough already without even getting dressed @Thebookofcarolagain😂. That porridge with apple and cinnamon sounds lovely, and strawberries with sugar for later 😋🤗. Hope the rain stays away so you can get out in the garden. Sod the dishes, they'll still be there later 🙈😂 Hope you have a lovely day 🤗.
Went to the Christmas factory shop , it's very nice but selling the same tat as B&M and Home Bargains for double the price but l can Imagine a lot of ppl take their children there because it's all done up really nice there. I didn't buy a thing ! Dd1 downloaded the KFC app and bought 10 piece bucket of chicken for £10 which was a very good price TBF . I can't stand the stuff but the Dds and DH love it . Just on our way home now can't wait for a cuppa tea 😋 ☕

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 14:30

My eldest likes KFC, youngest not as much @DirtyGertiefromno30 . I dont buy it.
Dishes done. Need to sweep kitchen floor and push myself to get outside...got stuff to put in compost bin (including my biiiiig succulent which isn't getting any better. ) Chopped off the tops to see if they will root. Couple of leaves have so fingers crossed they survive. Got a couple of bags to hang on whirly to dry off a bit. I have run out of oomph after this morning's mad busyness😄
Oh well if its the same tat just more expensive its not worth it @DirtyGertiefromno30 nice to see .....and leave behind.

Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 15:50

Go me! I've been out did the composting and bags @DirtyGertiefromno30 Then finished putting compost in the new shallow bed, I gravelled it at one end as its really too shallow but I put a bit of compost in and some fancy poppy seeds under the gravel. I also put poppy seeds in the bed and some cowparsley seeds in one end. Fingers crossed. Wind isn't trying to kill me today!
Potted up some of my big my pink foxgloves seedlings into pots outside. The cream ones are still smaller. Theres also other seedlings in that tray but i dont know what they are! Maybe weeds maybe flowers i didn't label who knows with compost. Managed to jab myself with a bamboo cane and took a slice out my hand, oops.
Coffee and biccie time😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/10/2026 16:07

Go you indeed @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 You got loads done after all that! Fingers crossed for your Poppies and Cow Parsley, and hope your Succulent cuttings take. Be interesting to see what comes up in that tray 😂. Hope your hand is ok after the bamboo cane incident you poor thing 🫣! Enjoy your cuppa and biccies 😁.
Just having a cuppa here l have put a chilli into the slow cooker fingers crossed it's ready by tea time 😁😋

Time really got away from me (and ds2) was gonna make him eggy bread and bacon for tea but he realised time too late. And he saw it was working outside so didn't say anything. He will prob get something at work.
Making same for ds1 and me and then thats all i am doing today @DirtyGertiefromno30
Oh I got to beat the cream for the strawbs. 😄
Its blooming cold again now stupid weather.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/10/2026 16:54

Time does get away with us sometimes@Thebookofcarolagain.
Aw bless your Ds2 he's so thoughtful, hopefully he’ll get something nice at work. Eggy bread and bacon sounds lovely though 😋 . Yummy strawbs and cream 😋. Then you can put your feet up and that’s you done for the day. It's been lovely here this afternoon dryer my washing a treat 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 20:10

Tea done, dishes done even swept the floor!
Jammies on and layered up again! Strawbs and cream were nice put a little icing sugar and splash of maple syrup in the cream, yummy.
Done for the day. Need to go to job centre, get bread and pick up meds tomorrow. Oh joy.
Another huge spider in kitchen @DirtyGertiefromno30 ! Sat as pleased as punch on floor...outside it went 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 15/10/2026 20:32

Aww you’ve done loads today, time to get cosy and put your feet up now @Thebookofcarolagain. Those strawbs and cream sound absolutely yummy with the icing sugar and maple syrup 😋 .Tomorrow sounds like a chore, job centre, bread and meds, oh joy of joys indeed 🙄. Hope it all goes ok and you can get back home and relax. And another huge spider!! 😂 Good job you got him outside! You can have a nice peaceful evening now, all snug in your jammies😁.
Watching The Traitors we love it! I had my chilli that l made with Quorn mince and l don't like it at all . I think l am chucking it out and never making it again 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 15/10/2026 20:57

Oh thats a shame @DirtyGertiefromno30 tbh I used to use quorn fair bit but it's not the same, havent used it in years now.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/10/2026 07:52

Good morning everyone ☺️
I am up early off together my blood test results from the Dr . I have noticed a red itchy rash l had on my abdomen has disappeared, l just thought it was an allergy to whatever, it didn't bother me but l think on reading up about Coeliacs it was to do with that so that is good it's disappeared 😁.
@Thebookofcarolagain oh that's interesting you have gone off Quorn . I have used it before and found it ok but it just wasn't very nice this time 🙄.
Hope everything goes ok with the Job centre and the blooming prescriptions , got to pick up my Dh's up today , hopefully they will be ready , mine were there the other day no problem fingers crossed 🤞 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 16/10/2026 11:45

Morning all.
Been to job centre. Chemist had ds2s stuff not mine😡 they are closed Monday so it will be Tuesday now. Got rolls and steak and haggis pies at bakery and bits in coop, reduced big pie, bread and milk. Watched the sea for a bit.
Coffee time now 😄
Hope the blood tests were ok @DirtyGertiefromno30 and they had the meds.

Thebookofcarolagain · 16/10/2026 14:39

It was lovely diwn the street. Had a coat on but didn't really need it. Came home sunny here too. Went out with washing an hour later still fully sunny but wind was wild, looked at top border and it needed watering. Watered all the borders and pots, i was freezing by time i finished! Stupid weather. Was planning on going out front this afternoon but wind needs to drop first 🥶

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/10/2026 15:56

Afternoon everyone 🤗
What a pain about the chemist having DS2’s stuff but not yours @Thebookofcarolagain! 😡 Typical when they’re shut Monday as well and you have to wait until Tuesday. At least you got your bits from the bakery and Co-op, and a little trip to watch the sea sounds lovely. 🥰
Honestly, your weather is ridiculous! 😂 One minute it's sunny and lovely, the next you’re freezing in that wind! You’ve done enough watering to last you a lifetime 😁, so put your feet up with your coffee and have a nice rest. The front can wait until the wind drops, no point freezing yourself again! ☕
Been to see Mum, she was ok there thankfully. Thank you re my blood tests @Thebookofcarolagain they were all ok except my platelets and my liver enzymes. Apparently my platelets are slightly down and the liver enzymes and slightly up but nothing to worry about thankfully and to test again in 3 months . She thinks they are not spot on because of the Coeliacs disease so hopefully in 3 months they will be fine fingers crossed . She also wants me to go on blood thinners because l have an increased 2% chance of having a stroke because of my heart arythmia .
I told her l wanted to wait to see what the 48 hour trace showed before l went down the blood thinners route because l am not convinced l need them with only a 2% chance of a stroke tbh . Apparently a woman of my age without anything wrong with them has a 1% chance of a stroke anyway. I will leave it for now anyway but a lot to think about 🙄.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 16/10/2026 16:17

I see your point @DirtyGertiefromno30 2% is hardly huge! I would wait too. I dont think blood thinners and lower platelets are a great match either!
Its still freezing here. I have my heat pad on and fleece over me sitting on sofa!
