Good morning everyone 🤗
Wind has gone but still wet out but it's a vast improvement on the weekend 🤗. Going to see Mum in a bit . Nothing else on the agenda though ATM 😁.
Ah bless your Ds2 @Thebookofcarolagain, a nice plate of curry soon warmed him up!😋. Hope the wind dies down by tomorrow for you 🤞. I'm with you on the spicy food, I like a bit of flavour but not when my mouth's on fire 😂. Hope everyone has a lovely day 🤗

Morning all.
Its not raining and Its not blowing a gale! By the Nine its a miracle! Still freezing though.
Got to go to chemist later. They better have my meds!
Have a good day all.

Saints be praised indeed @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣. Hope your meds are done 👍. Terrible weather here , raining like hell and the rivers are up 😱.

Spoke too soon @DirtyGertiefromno30 its raining now. Hope it doesn't get any harder!
Hope you dont get flooding on top of all the wild weather.
Been out and sorted my bins to where they should be and got my recycling bin emptied at last!
Put washing on earlier but now its not gonna be outside!
Oh well it might have stopped by time I take ds down and go to chemist.

Raining still but not heavy heavy, hope yours has stopped @DirtyGertiefromno30
Chemist didnt have one of my things, I've ran out cos its late being delivered to chemist. They said it would be ready in an hour but I will get it before we go shopping tomorrow not going out again in car for one thing.
Decided to do a big shop this week insteadvif waiting toll next week. Going in for buts so might as well get everything at once and that should do me a couple of weeks, hopefully more. End of next month I can get basic Xmas stuff. Need to get a spare pkt of loo rolls to replace emergency one in attic so no doubt you will see someone on MN complaining i am stockpiling😄😄

Afternoon everyone 😊
Oh typical @Thebookofcarolagainthe washing always seems to go on just as the rain starts! 😂 At least you've got your bins sorted and the recycling finally emptied. Hope the rain eases off soon and we don't get any more of this awful weather. Glad you can get your shopping done in one go tomorrow, it'll be nice to get it all sorted for a couple of weeks. Stockpiling for having a spare packet of loo rolls! You can't win on MN, can you? 😂 At least you'll be prepared 🤣.
Had soup for dinner, just popped out for stuff for Mum from Aldi and picked up some cheese for DH from Waitrose. Looks like we have to eat the bloody curry from last night otherwise it will go to waste . Dd2 said to put yogurt in it and it will be milder so l will try that .
Weather is still bad here @Thebookofcarolagain hey ho 🤣. Sat down having a cuppa and listening to the Archers🤗.

Flipping blue sky peeking out now typical.
Have cleaned out freezer ready for tomorrow. Have room for some chicken and stew or mince. Had a quick rekke of c.u.s and found a couple more things to get.
Gonna put the steak pie I took out yesterday in oven I am hungry now. 😄
Hope the curry is better with the yogurt @DirtyGertiefromno30 .

Have put heating on its baltic.

Typical that the blue sky appears just as the day’s nearly over @Thebookofcarolagain fat lot of good that is to man or beast 🙄. Well done getting the freezer sorted, at least you’ve got room for tomorrow’s bits now. Steak pie sounds lovely, hope you enjoy it! 😋 .
Hope the yoghurt has calmed the curry down a bit too 🤣 fingers crossed 🤞.

That curry was lovely tonight @Thebookofcarolagain, l put a bit of plain yogurt in it and it was much milder thank God l actually liked it 🤣,

Yeah win on the curry @DirtyGertiefromno30
Tea was good thanks, pulled some sprouts out freezer to have with mine.

I remembered I had a tin of rice pud in cupboard so had some of that with tinned pineapple for pud. Yum haven't had rice pud in so long! 😄 (adds rice to list)
Think it might be jammies time. No rain or gale force wind (although to be windy overnight) so hopefully ds will be fine walking home 🤞

Damm wind is blowing again, not too bad though so far...

Ooh rice pudding and tinned pineapple, that's a lovely bit of comfort food @Thebookofcarolagain😋 . Hope the wind doesn't get too bad overnight and your DS gets home safely. Sounds like a good time to get your jammieson 😁.
Just going to have a hot chocolate 🤗.
DH has perfected his frothing technique he tells me 🤣☕

Oooh enjoy the frothy choccy @DirtyGertiefromno30 hope dh is right....
I have a weak as dishwater glass of wine😄

Oh lovely, enjoy it @Thebookofcarolagain.
I cancinfirmDh has perfected his technique, delicious frothy choccy 🤣☕.

Good morning everyone 😁
Beautiful day here , yay! Washing on the line 😂. Popping up town to the library and the market as usual.
Hope everyone is okay and has this lovely weather , have a good day everyone 😁

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Popped to Tesco for a couple of bits after the market and library , DH wanted Sainsburys parsley sauce to go with the Gammon tonight 🙄.
He's never tried it before and wanted to give it a go 🙄 Child 🤣. Lidl then because l had my vouchers to spend and l wanted to get me some things for Christmas, l will put them away , they are accidentally gluten free, blueberry nougat , peanut flips , tortilla spicy cheese snaps and salted caramel peanut mini bars😋.
Weather not bad here just showers sunny otherwise 🤗. Hope everyone is having a good day ❤️

Ooh they sound delish @DirtyGertiefromno30 .Dont go near them till Xmas...
Home again and sat down at last.
Got almost everything. Aldi had no pumpkins left popped into HB in case but they dont have them so got the bits I couldn't get in Aldi then Morrsons for a pumpkin. Thier "Large" pumpkin is a small anywhere else!
Got the bubble wrap in B&M then discovered HB had some too just not as wide!
Ds went to Food Warehouse and then Greg's and got me a sausage roll, yummy.
Was in HB and saw they had Cheesy Footballs but I was good and said no...ds bought them for me!
B&M had large boxes s of mixed Lindor half price cos the boxes were slightly bashed so bought myself a box😋
B&M had choc coins...£2.75ish !!! Got some in Aldi £1 cheaper! Got another box of biscuits, for us this time. All put away for Xmas.
Ds2 popped into chemist for me and got my meds.
Was getting into car in big car park, door was only a few inches away from my leg and wind grabbed it and slammed it into my knee. OMG was it painfull! Ridiculous considering how close it was but the wind wellied it. Had to sit a minute trying to to puke. . Sick of something so small being so damm sore!

All put away and coffee time. Knackered! Ds got pizzas for thier tea so I am off the hook. Never leaving house again😄
Oh heck I have hospital early morning for my stupid scan, dammmmm.

P.S. ha ha at the parsley sauce hope its bloody good after all that😄

Popped to town again. l forgot carrots 🙄 , cooked a huge cauliflower cheese with a gluten free sauce , going to have that with the carrots and gammon tonight 😋. Then sorted out loads of old clothes with Dd2 , 2 black bags worth going to the tip , sorted out her drawers and wardrobe put all her summer clothes away 😁👏.
Can't wait for tea 😋👏😁.
Blimey, no wonder you’re knackered @Thebookofcarolagain! 😂 You’ve certainly had a busy day . Well done resisting the Cheesy Footballs, only for DS to buy them for you anyway he's a good un ! And bargain Lindor too, can’t blame you for that! 😋
Oh your poor knee, that must have really hurt with the wind catching the door like that! 😢 Hope it eases off .
At least you’re off tea duty tonight, so enjoy your coffee and put your feet up! Hope all goes well with your scan tomorrow. 🤞 And that parsley sauce had better be worth all the faffing about it else l will have his guts for garters 😂

Afternoon !
Finally have a bit of time to sit and read the posts , and let you know I am still here 😀.
Nothing much going on here tbh , other than seemingly never having much time left over , but all is good . Just helping with some admin for a WH craft sale , so my evenings are tied up .
The weather has been wild here , but not too much rain , and been lovely today .
Builder turned up last Wednesday , was due to come back Friday to finish sorting out out and then we found we needed the gas man to come and cap off the gas pipe again to the old fire ( it was capped off before , but not below the floorboards , which is needed now 🙄) , so he comes this Friday , but builder has to wait to sort out after that . So at the moment , we have a hole in the wall , with a wood panel on the outside , and a wood panel on the inside , all blocked up with old bath mats and towels to stop the draft 😂.
We went to a lovely Birthday brunch for our DGS on Saturday ( 14 he will be this week! ), and we will go on his actual birthday this week to see him. Other than that , just been catching up on sewing , gardening and straightening things up - seem to have been to the tip and charity shops more times than I can mention !
Saw about the hot/spicy curries - not only did I see you used yoghurt Dirtie , but <whispers > mayonnaise works too .
I love tinned rice pudding BookofCarol , but DH prefers the real thing . I always keep a tin as an emergency pudding in the pantry though . ( I always had the heinz sponge puddings in a tin too , but they have been discontinued a long time now ) . Its good to have a bit of easy back up !
Managed to get my bedding all washed and dry today - nice sunny day , but still remarkably windy - all double/triple pegged , and all safe and dry back inside .
Waves to everyone
Take care all x

What a pia about the carrots @DirtyGertiefromno30 . But goodness you and dd have been busy! Your dh better be singing the praises of that sauce or he wont know what hit him😄
Just had poached eggs on toast for tea. I got muffins in HB for us all and i am having my gingerbread one for pud. Kids have choc ones (but I get 2😄)
Blimey @bookbook you put me to shame! You never stop! Oh I loved those sponge puds. You could get them in HB not too long ago, havent looked in ages though. Forgot to get rice puds today typical.

What a faff with the building works. Hope its all fixed soon.

You have certainly been busy as usual @bookbook 🤗. That hole in the wall sounds fun.... not 😱. Needs must with the bath mats and towel stuffing 😁! Hope the gas man turns up Friday so the builder can get on and finish .
Happy birthday to your DGS for this week, 14 already! AW bless him 👏😊. Where does the time go ! Lovely that you got to celebrate with him on Saturday and will see him again this week too😊. Well done getting all your bedding washed and dried, always lovely getting it all back in fresh, even if you had to peg it down extra well with that wind 😂.
Hope you get a bit of time to yourself amongst all the craft sale admin and everything else you have going on. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week sweetheart 🤗.

I know, blinking carrots 😁! We’ve have been busy today @Thebookofcarolagain, we’ve earned a sit down now! DH wasn't impressed with the sauce 🤣. I'm glad it's £2.50 for a small tub 😱.
Poached eggs on toast is lovely, and ooh a gingerbread muffin for pud yummy 😋. I can’t blame you for having two when the kids have chocolate ones! 😂❤️ Enjoy your pud 😋.
We have just had our tea , the cauliflower cheese was lovely and aDh scoffed a lot of it , despite telling me earlier he didn't want any 🤣

Oh heck that will teach him @DirtyGertiefromno30 £2.50 for that and its not good? .You could make a soup pan full for that😄 And he ate a load of your tea too? Cheeky beggar.
My muffin was surprisingly nice, will have the other one tomorrow.
Got a letter from housingvsaying we were having all our outside woodwork painted 😄😄 My door isn't worth painting! Neither are the windows but wont get new ones. I will get new doors though I will be a pia till they do , back door isn't much better it swells up in winter and is really difficult to open and close. And surround is all crumbling. Ridiculous.
In my jammies all cozy trying to forget I have a box of Lindor in kitchen😄😄

Honestly, painting woodwork that needs replacing, what's the point in that @Thebookofcarolagain🙄.
Hope you get your new doors soon, that back one sounds a right nightmare in winter. Glad your muffin was nice though 😋. Now stay strong with those Lindor, although I don't fancy your chances 😂.
Yes my DH was very cheeky , serves him right he couldn't taste that stupid Parsley sauce Just had a nice decaff coffee GBBO on at 8 yay 👏😁.

Putting Xmas stuff away the choc coin bags i got have twice the amount in them than B&M had! £1 less!
Been very good and havent had any Lindor @DirtyGertiefromno30 (should have got myself a box for Xmas! )
