Morning all.
Its stopped raining and wind has dropped thank goodness but rain is supposed to return later this morning. Got mat outside to air a bit, sheet down to soak up water from carpet, stuff in wash. Arghhh. Wind to be bad this pm till Sunday pm. Oh joy.
Hope everyone else has a better weekend.

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Oh what a nightmare @Thebookofcarolagain . You really are so unlucky with this weather! 😩 Hope you manage to get everything dried out and the rain stays away long enough for you to catch a break bless you . Fingers crossed the wind doesn’t cause any more problems. What a way to spend your weekend 🙄.
Just back from seeing Mum she was fine there thankfully 😊.
Popping up to see my friend and give her her birthday presents and cards .
Well DH is watching the football so l thought , lm not a celebrity let's get me outta here lol 🤣.

Ha ha like your reasoning @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
Not raining first thing so went out and put plumbers tape on outside window frame in door. Wood is rotting and cracking...

Sealed it with electrical tape (got no duck tape) . Rain started again and now quite heavy but no real wind driving it into door yet, that's to come later. So far door is dry. 🤞
Ds got called into work early so his shoes aren't completrly dry. Put heating on and put his coat on radiator too as cuffs still slightly wet. Coat was fine but shoes not completrly dry when he left. His work shoes are wet at work too. What a mess of a place! Apparently is all dried out now though...till it starts again tonight! Will prob have to go pick him up if weather is to be believed.

Evening everyone 😊
Back from my friend and just had beans on toast and a nice cuppa coffee ☕. Windy and raining like hell here 🙄. Oh blimey@Thebookofcarolagainyou’re having a right battle with the weather! Well done getting the tape on before the rain started, hopefully it’ll hold until you can get the frame sorted properly. 🤞 . What a nightmare with your DS’s shoes as well, especially when everything’s only just dried out! Sounds like you might have another trip out later if the weather does what they’re predicting. Hope it’s not as bad as they say bless you 🤗

Storm has reappeared earlier this evening @DirtyGertiefromno30 but no water coming in so far 🤞
Will def be picking ds up.
Just had bacon and egg roll for tea, easy peasy.
Watching you tube and fell down the reacting to sound of silence hole again..😭😄...Must....Watch...Something...Else...

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Yesterday 19:45

Oh no, fingers crossed that door holds and you stay nice and dry @Thebookofcarolagain! 🤞 Definitely best to pick DS up, especially with the weather getting worse. Bacon and egg roll sounds yummy 😋 . As for falling down the Sound of Silence rabbit hole again, you'll be an expert on every reaction video before long 😂 .
Windy has got up here and raining like hell 🙄. Extra hour in bed tonight don't forget everyone 🤗.

Ooh thanks @DirtyGertiefromno30 I forgot. It was on radio yesterday then I just forgot.
Hope weather doesn't get too bad for you too.
Just checked door, its dripping from under letterbox. Obviously didn't seal it enough😡 Have wedged curtain up against door fingers crossed.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Yesterday 21:20

Oh no, what a pain @Thebookofcarolagain😩 . Hope the curtain helps keep the water out now. What a nightmare 😱. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse for you sweetheart 🤞👍.
Your poor DS will be soaked again l bet if it's flooded in his work again 😱.
Watching GW missed it yesterday 😁.

Ds says he doesn't need a lift as its just windy. Hmmm.
Said he wouldn't be long finishing but that was over half an hour ago.

Oh well he's a big boy.
Finally finished latest Skyrim story...3 attempts fell asleep twice, last 2 nights before the end 😄
Was rather depressing 😒

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Yesterday 23:31

AHH they always think they're big boys until their Mum starts worrying @Thebookofcarolagain! Hopefully he won't be too much longer bless him , l expect he didn't want to drag you out in the wind. At least he's only got the wind to contend with rather than all that rain as well! Oh that's a shame Skyrim was a bit depressing ,especially after all your effort to stay awake 🤗.
Not wanting to go to bed yet it's too soon 🤣

Ds got a lift home thankfully @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Phew!
Been watching Bob Ross, I had forgotten how relaxing watching him was. Love how he creates such beautiful paintings out of a few random strokes and they just grow.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Today 07:35

Good morning everyone 🌞
Sunny here unbelievably and blowing a gale so my washing is going out 😁.
Off to Home Bargains, Tesco and Asda this morning. Got to get a few bits and going early because DH wants to watch yes you guessed it , a football match this afternoon 🤣. Obsessed or what 🙄.
Phew, glad your Ds got a lift home safely @Thebookofcarolagain 😊.
I love Bob Ross, he's so calming to watch . It's amazing how he paints away and before you know it he's painted a lovely picture . He makes it look so easy, I know mine would look nothing like his! 😂 I am useless at art 😁.
Hope you are dry this morning and the rain has stopped. Hope everyone has a lovely day 🤗.

Morning all

Blowing like crazy here, wind is howling round the house. Sunny but freezing! Thankfully not raining.

Yep i would be the same @DirtyGertiefromno30 it wouldn't turn out anything like Bobs paintings😄
Have a good day all.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Today 09:53

At least it’s dry for a change for us , although freezing for you @Thebookofcarolagain🥶. 13C here so it's not too bad ATM . Hope you have a lovely Sunday and manage to keep warm . We are just setting off, washing on line 1st load nearly dry, Dd1 is going to change the load over in an hour for me bless her. Hopefully a few bargains we shall see 😁.

I washed two of the sheets I used at the door but havent put them out as they will just spin around the whirly in this wind. (i doubt they would even stay on the line!) @DirtyGertiefromno30
Its 10° here but feels colder cos of wind. It's to rain by mid day.😡
Gonna take ds2 to work and ds1 wants to go to coop.

Finges crossed for bargains @DirtyGertiefromno30 .
I got to go shopping next week, I thought i had loo rolls put away but don't! Plus I need a pumpkin. Just getting one this year. If this weather keeps up not even putting decs outside. Will decorate the window as usual.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · Today 12:23

I wouldn't bother putting the sheets out in this wind either, they'd be going round like a fairground ride @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂 Horrible when it's so windy and the rain . Hope you get the boys where they need to be without getting blown away 😁! You'll have to get your loo rolls and pumpkin next week then 🎃 😁 . I don't blame you leaving the outside decs off if the weather carries on like this, your window will look fab it always does 🤗.
Had a few bargains on the reduced fruit and veg in Home Bargains, and on the Costa Drinking chocolate in Tesco down to £2.50 instead of £3.85 so l snapped them up . Going to fill up in the cheapest petrol station we have found . 166.9 per litre instead of 172.9 by us . We were here anyway so sorted out thankfully. Just finishing off shopping in Asda and then home ☺️
