Dammmm.
Thought to myself I better get washing in before I get ready for bed....looked out and it was bucketing down! Had to rush out and get it then hang it up. Luckily wasn't soaked through. Rain has eased a bit but still raining. 😡

Oh yes hope so @DirtyGertiefromno30
I had some chicken Korma out freezer and a baked pot and the knife fell off the plate and hit my top. Put it in washer as I knew it would stain...came out and still one yellow spot😡 So its back in with stain removal so fingers crossed. Not happy.
All ready now for bed now. Hopefully rain stays away now and I wont get a phone call from ds2 after 10 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/10/2026 20:12

Oh no, typical that the knife had to land on your top @Thebookofcarolagain! 😡 Fingers crossed the stain remover gets that last bit out. So annoying! Your tea sounded lovely despite the mark 😋. All ready for bed now then, hope you have a good nights sleep and the rain stays away so you don't get that phone call from DS2 after 10 .

Yeah stain came out @DirtyGertiefromno30 .

Been pottering around You Tube. Watched some Dave Ramsey. Holy crap the amounts of debt people run up in USA behind thier partners backs! How????? Lives ruined.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 16/10/2026 21:57

Good morning everyone 🔆 beautiful day here sunny and blue skies bit chilly though 😁.
Popping to see my Mum's friend this morning then to the market and library instead of Tuesday as we are seeing Mum then . Hope everyone has a lovely day 😊 🙏.

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/10/2026 09:27

Morning all.
Seems nice here too @DirtyGertiefromno30 will see. Been lazy so far today😄 was up early enough but apart from put dishes away and made my porridge have done nowt 😄 Need to move i suppose.
Have a good one all.

Chasingsquirrels · 17/10/2026 10:20

Same here - blue skies, sun & a bit chilly. Makes a change to feel cold as menopause has turned me into a furnace and this summer has been hot!

Puppy is called Malin, we have had her 3 weeks now and things are settling into a routine. She can go outside from next week, so that will be fun - although only for very short trips, up the road & back at first!

Dahlias still flowering here @Thebookofcarolagain, had some beautiful ones this year.

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/10/2026 12:40

Oh thats an unusual name (but nice) @Chasingsquirrels where does it come from?
Dragged myself outside. Have probably only been out half an hour tops. Cleared a small section of gravel and now back in to shut my knees and back up. Meds and coffee to the rescue😄 Will go out again soon. Need to take advantage of the weather

Chasingsquirrels · 17/10/2026 13:14

Long story, to do with the white star on her head and Catherine Cookson's books about a family with a mallen streak (white streak of hair) - the bloke suggested it, etymology is from evil which I didn't like, searched names and Malin (Scandinavian female name) came up.
We are pronouncing it Mal-in, although my Swedish friend asked me how we were saying it, and when asked said it would be pronounced Mar-lin in Sweden. Oh well.

Sorry that your body is playing up @Thebookofcarolagain, not much fun thus aging.
My garden has been seriously neglected this year, far too dry to do anything and I've been too fatigued.
Next year ...

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/10/2026 14:23

Oh I remember the series on tv @Chasingsquirrels . Mum called her grey hair streak at one side of her face her Mallen streak😄
Been back out for another half hour. Filled a compost bag. Think that will do for today unless I go daft later. Its a tiny area I have cleared but theres so many little seedlings as well as the big uns. Oh well i can see the difference.
Yes theres always next year @Chasingsquirrels it will survive till then.
Phew sit down and heat pad time.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/10/2026 17:30

Ahh Malin is such a lovely name @Chasingsquirrels! Love the story behind it too . Bet you can’t wait to get her out and about, even if it’s only little trips to start with! Dh's Dahlias are still going too. Don’t worry about the garden, we’ve had such a dry summer and you need to look after yourself first. There’s always next year 😊

OP posts:
DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/10/2026 17:38

Well done you @Thebookofcarolagain 😄. You've made the most of your weather today. It might be a tiny area but all those little seedlings must be a right faff to get rid of! You can see a difference, which is so satisfying. Now sit down and have a well earned rest with your heat pad and coffee. Mum was ok so that was good . Bought a new Thermos and a new duvet with a 13.5 tog now it's getting colder 🥶.
Beans on toast for tea here 😁😋
I think if l have got Atrial fibrillation l have decided to go on the blood thinners . I do not want a stroke the chance is 3/100!and the chances of a severe bleed are 5 out of a thousand ppl so the odds are in my favour if l look at it like that . I have been googling the hell out of it 😁.

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/10/2026 18:52

You have to do what makes the most sense for you @DirtyGertiefromno30 If you platelets arent actually low then that's fine. Mine were so low at one point I was warned any decent cut or bang on my body to phone an ambulance 😯😄
Blimey temp dropped really quickly when I came in. Think i picked the best time to do garden. Put the heat pad on and fleece on and later dozed of for a bit. Oops.
Just had my streak and haggis pie and crisps for my tea. All cleared up.

Might as well get my jammies on not doing anything else today😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/10/2026 20:11

Blimey @Thebookofcarolagain that must have been scary when your platelets were so low you poor thing ! 😯 . Glad they’re okish now. It certainly got cold quickly didn’t it, you picked the right time to get out in the garden! Nothing wrong with a little doze either. Your tea sounds lovely, especially as you cleared the lot! 😂 😋
I know what you are saying re my platelets tbh l had forgotten about them being low 🙄. l was so wrapped up in looking for information. I think I o did the right thing in leaving it to the consultant. My GP would have got me in them straight away .

Thebookofcarolagain · 17/10/2026 22:07

Always best to check your options @DirtyGertiefromno30 and do your own research as well as discussing with Drs.
Am pottering about on Skyrim after despairing at the USA tik tok beggars on Zacs channel! Seriously begging for money to strangers! One lad got caught out on his live stream crying that he was being kicked out of his house by his mum in a couple of hours! His mum or gran walked in and asked him what the heck he was talking about😄
His live comments went nuts😄😄😄 No shame or dignity any more.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 17/10/2026 22:33

Yes, that's what I'm going to do @Thebookofcarolagain, have a good think about it all before making any decisions 😊. Oh that made me laugh, imagine his Mum walking in while he's live and catching him out! The comments must have been brilliant. Honestly, what goes through their heads? I'd be mortified! No shame at all these days 😂. Enjoy your pottering on Skyrim, much better than watching all those bankrupt idiots 🤣

Good morning everyone 🌞
Lovely day here sunny and blue skies bit cold 7C. Off to see Mum .
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 18/10/2026 13:35

Looks nice here too @DirtyGertiefromno30 but it's so cold! Didnt want to get up this morning as the difference outside and under the duvet was incredible!
Not sure if sitting on freezing gravel even with a knee pad is on the cards today.😄

Have a good day all.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 18/10/2026 13:42

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Home from seeing Mum, she was wonderful there today so l am very happy 🤗 ❤️. Beautiful day here sunny and blue skies only 13c now but it's a lovely Autumn day 🤗.
Just had a yogurt and some fruit and a cuppa , popping to town to get green milk . I don’t blame you staying under that duvet @Thebookofcarolagain 😂 it’s hard enough getting out of bed without that shock! I think I’d give the freezing gravel a miss today too 😁Have a lovely day and keep warm 😊

Been to Waitrose , Aldi and Morrisons, didn't spend much ,bought an ultra Briers kneeling garden pad £3.75 and 3 prs of Briers gloves in the Birds pattern £2 for my friend for Christmas and such a bargain ! Think l will have a nice cuppa now 😁
