Fresh Start, no more losers.

[LoserNoMore]

Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

Oh god PF, bet you're glad to be back with your home comforts! Hopefully you'll have a sunny weekend to get the washing out.

You have no idea how glad I am to be home! Fourth load of washing is in the machine, the previous three on the line / airers, and two more to go... Still at least I've had a bath and a poo and feel a bit more human

What are you all up to for the weekend? Anything exciting planned? My life will be taken up with washing for the foreseeable future I think!

And thanks for the Marmite tip, can you imagine the amount of washing I'd have to do if I tried the smearing technique??

The weekend? Relishing my bed!

Hopefully a good walk with the dog and I might go and swim in a local river if it stays warm

It has rained here since lunchtime, proper thundery showers. No plans for the weekend which I'm happy about. Dd3 has a Rainbows Big Lunch on Sunday and that's it. They are looking for parent helpers so I'm going to drop and run! Forecast for tomorrow is 12 degrees with sunny spells also known as a Scottish summer!

scottish summer puts me off a bit despite the tuition fees.

have been for my pre op assessment today - no signs of infection and fighting fit if slightly low blood pressure but that's normal for me and convinces me i better keep smoking or it will be dangerously low

feel quite reassured by having talked through what happens to me on the day and what aftercare there is if anything goes wrong. i also feel a lot lighter now i've paid rather than still torturing myself over whether i could justify spending all that money just on little old me and my back problems

pyro i'm ok with you doing the housework so long as you don't do it in a guilt-inducing fashion. i will gladly bring you plenty of wine so long as someone else is a lover of cooking. i'm sporting a horrible burn at the minute from my last attempt at a home cooked proper meal.

I can't cook at all so I'd leave that to someone else. So I can't cook, hate cleaning...I'll just have to entertain with my trampolining skills!

I always feel guilty Cabbage after spending money on myself. Just think of a life with no more back ache. And bra shopping!

and clothes shopping for clothes you can wear with small boobs!

SAF! I called you cabbage. Not even had wine, sorry.

I'd give my right arm for a life without back pain, let alone a large amount of cash! Sounds like a wise decision SAF.

I'll happily clean without inducing guilt as long as there's wine. I only do the old martyr-ish huffing and puffing while cleaning if a) no-one appreciates it and b) there's no wine.

Can we live on salads and take-aways while LNM astonishes with her cartwheels and trampolining excellence?

don't think i'd give my right arm but will happily give a good chunk of my breasts it may not end my back issue totally but it will definitely help and at least with that eliminated if it carries on i can investigate what to do to help it without it being undone by bra strain iyswim.

no worries lnm i knew you meant me.

i'm pretty sure someone offered cooking skills earlier - can't remember who but they said they wanted to cook in that kitchen.

You're right SAF, it was Lazarus. Sorted!

I like cooking :). Just not every night...after work...for unappreciative child who says I don't liiiiiike that

I make a mean curry from scratch, chocolate roulade... Chicken chorizo jambalaya with baked raspberry cheesecake, beef casserole with red wine and mushrooms and fruit and almond macaroon meringue thingy.

Washing machine is on and I'm probably 3 loads behind Pyro

Chooks are happy

SaF big decision but the right one by the sounds of it

Yep, still up for cooking ..and drinking wine

Sounds good, and a constant supply of Toblerone cheesecake.

Cabbage, "I don't like that" drives me nuts. I'd be as well making tuna pasta every frigging night, empty plates every time.

You sorted your dog sitters yet, SaF?

Re the MN retreat - can I come? I'm a child magnet (they seem to love me the weirdo's) and I can entertain you with my skipping rope

Tuna pasta is DD's all time favourite

LittleEsme if you are a child magnet can you come and live with me. ...no scratch that...
...next door

Of course LittleEsme! You can conduct skipping lessons in the huge garden. We'll be watching of course. I very nearly tried out the space hooper on the trampoline earlier but thought better of it...

I'm quite fond myself, Cabbage. I prefer mine with chips and 1/2 a kilo of grated cheese on top though

I very nearly tried out the spacehopper on the trampoline

Are you insane woman??

STEP AWAY FROM THE SPACEHOPPER.

STEP AWAY FROM THE TRAMPOLINE.

Ha, it was tempting, trying to bounce above the height of the net seemed like a challenge. Spoilsport

LNM - my Dd has been on the trampoline with her spacehopper. She is 5. It did not end well....

I would like to join this retreat, although ten years sounds like an awful long wait.....

Bore alert - regarding your tax code, now that employers are using Real Time Information and filing weekly or monthly returns, you should receive a correct tax code fairly quickly.

Hi all. Still in Scotland going home tomorrow. Internet intermittent but none of us want to go home. Love it here with my niece & her family. We been up hills surveying their new estate. Huge & just wonderful. House looks onto a loch.

Oh we'll back to England tomorrow.

Hope everyone well. Weather been lovely here.

was tempting, trying to bounce above the height of the net seemed like a challenge. Anyone else sensing more to the 'shower incident' that she hasn't told us ?????

I have skipped on the trampoline. I was thinking of you lot as I did it

House overlooking a loch sounds idyllic
