O/S Daily Friday 25th September 2015
This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an Old Style natter. The more the merrier!
As this is the Old Style Board, it would be appreciated if posts could include some Old Style content. Please be aware that many people may have small screens, or SLOW internet connections, so please don’t post large pictures, or clip art – links are preferred. When you make a post, if you feel like giving it a title, that will help others that don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly but if not it's not a problem. Please do not start a new daily thread before you go to bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two daily threads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each new daily thread after they get up in the morning.
Some people who chat here like to try to answer everyone. Don’t feel you have to though, a general “hi everyone, hope everyone’s well” is fine.
Morning everyone
Birthday wishes to those celebrating a birthday, hope you have a great day x
Hugs and get well wishes to those that want/need them.
Now getting light, looks to be dry underfoot, but was a cold night, so hoping for a dry day – as I want to continue with the washing and getting it line dried.
DH up and gone to work. DS1 now getting ready for work. DS2 still in his pit but I’ll wake him shortly so he can get ready for school.
Dinner last night was roast chicken pieces, roasted herby new potatoes, mushrooms, HM coleslaw, and roasted peppers. Tonight we’re having a naughty but easy egg, bacon, sausage, hash browns, black pudding, mushrooms, beans etc – I have a packet of bacon to use up and like to cook an easy dinner on a Friday night!
Yesterday I was reasonably productive – a lot more than I have been recently – I managed to write a list early on and then just potter along getting things done – I gave both bathrooms a good deep clean, stripped and remade our bed, will do boys beds today, took box of books to charity shop from DS2’s bedroom, did all the ironing that was dry enough, cleaned our bedroom, made a start on both boys rooms, but need to continue with that, cleaned dining room and lounge but again need to continue with those rooms too, sorted my desk, shredded loads of paperwork, still quite a stack to go through but that will be done once all the other jobs are, continued with washing and line drying. This morning I need to visit the bank, do the food shopping – I’m going to shift this about today, and I’m going to get myself organised and be at MrL’s for when they open and do the food shopping first thing, get home put shopping away and then visit the town, it won’t be late as I intend to be a MrL’s for 8am so should be home by just after 9am, shopping away then out again. Reading this back I don’t seem to have achieved much, but I didn’t stop until nearly 1.30pm for lunch and do feel like I actually achieved something instead of skimming over the cleaning then sitting on pc for the rest of the day! Have had a couple of days of having things on my mind, but yesterday decided to write the list and just potter along – it does work keeping busy, and I felt so much better last night and still feel the same this morning, so today will be more of the same, I still have quite a lot on the list, so plenty to focus on. Will go and strip DS1’s bed now he’s gone to work and get that in the WM it may be done before I need to leave so can go straight onto the line.
Have good Fridays’ everyone x
Keep safe and well x
