It's Friday!

I have never been great at using a diary - I tend to just remember most things but at school we've started having more things put into the school calendar which is part of outlook then get relevant appointments shared with us. I found it a pain to have to remember to transfer things from one place to another so now just use the computer one. I do treat myself to a lovely notebook where I write my lists/plan out my week etc. 

Totally get the moaning about the weather. I went out for a walk first thing, just 15 minutes but I'm hoping to make it a regular habit at least for the duration of the holidays. Not quite sure what I'll do during term time. The sun was out, I had a jumper on but it wasn't cold and I saw lots of people with dogs who all said hello. Back home and the sun went in, it's grey and dull and I put the fire on! Looking for the positives at least the greyness doesn't make me feel resentful of the sitting inside work I need to do!

Good morning - 'tis Friday

How is everyone?

The little 'snack thief/fox poo roller' is going home today - a day earlier than expected, her family are caravanning in the New Forest and have sensibly decided to pack up today whilst it's dry 🤞 and head home - I'm pleased that my son won't be towing in the awful weather forecast for tomorrow...looking forward to seeing them all, but will miss the doggo when she's gone!

We have been trying to contact the hospital re the promised op - why, oh why did the consultant make the promise about the timing - "definitely before end of July" - that gave him (and me) false hope...

Onwards and upwards - must make the most of today before we batten down the hatches (again!)

Hope that weekend is kind to all x

Oh Sunnyday, I do hope you hear something from the hospital soon. I hadn't really looked at the weather for tomorrow until you mentioned it but it is a bit grim isn't it!

I have had a pretty good week. I managed to stay focused and do school work in the mornings and house jobs in the afternoons followed by crafting in the evenings.  Today though I think I might just take the day off. I am feeling uninspired by what I'd planned to do for school and am more tempted by my book (a light, easy 'rom com' type read), something cosy on TV and some crochet/knitting. I am a little frustrated with my summer sock project - it involves colourwork and after two attempts I cannot get the tension right so the yarn carried across the back is too tight and I can't get it over my foot. I think I need a little practice away from the sock and maybe to have a go with another project for a while just to feel a bit successful.

I need to decide what to cook for tea - I always plan for 'clear the fridge Friday' so I use up odds and ends before going shopping again tomorrow and avoid wasting food. However, I've been pretty good at eating what I'd planned this week so there are a few mushrooms, carrots and half a courgette - it's not inspiring me! I may just go for beans on toast.

It's already cold and grey here so I feel no guilt about not doing other things. There may even be some chocolate chip cookies on the cards later on - all in the name of decluttering the baking cupboard you understand!

Sunnyday, really hope you get your call soon - nothing worse than waiting for 'that call'

Froglet, you live my dream! Can't do anything at the moment due to the family being here -evertime I move a have a 3 year old by my side saying 'oww, what ae we doing now grandma'  so crafting is out at the moment 😬😭🤣🤣

Nothing planned for the weekend.

We've had a very productive Friday so far :).

 

First we went on a very long nature walk so that my son could get a bit of fresh air and we spotted lots of wildlife animals and insects etc and then afterwards we went to the swing park where he spent about half an hour but I then had an issue because on the way back home my car wouldn't start, it took about 10mins of pedal pumping for it to eventually start.

Welcome to the forum and a very warm welcome to the 'Friday' thread

What a lovely outing - well apart from the car part!

Give this woman a prize!

Sitting room curtains - down and washed - keeping everything crossed here - label says 'dry clean only' - however, I have washed the matching cushion covers eleventy billion times without problems - we shall see 🙃

All downstairs carpets shampooed...

Sitting room windows cleaned...

Hard floors cleaned...

Ironing completed...

Achieved all this whilst keeping one eye on the ladies football - it was better really to only watch with one eye - penalties to win!

Oh my goodness! Lots of prizes for you! My house is available if you fancy carrying on now you’re on a roll!

 I’m on holiday (as in properly away from home) staying in a lovely little converted cowshed for a couple of nights. It’s so peaceful. I brought my knitting, crochet and loads of books so might stay on longer while Sunnyday’s sorting out my place!

I had to laugh yesterday when some report on the news was talking about some sort of green energy they have just invented.  Obviously tiny steps at first, and the man said they’ve generated enough power to run a household iron for an hour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.   Who wants to stand and iron for an hour to test it! 🤣🤣🤭

Don't know about an hour - but I don't actually mind a bit of ironing - I have a friend who doesn't even own an iron 🤷‍♀️ obviously I need some tips from her!

This is me getting on with some admin - can you tell? 🤣

Reminds me of coming home from work one day and OH had decided to spring clean the lounge (😱) asked him where the curtains were ( 2x floor to ceiling dry clean) yep! in the washing machine, I could have cried but to be fair they were ok 🤞

Wow, super impressed!   I haven't managed to get a single thing done in weeks due to have a small shadow (GD) behind my every movemnet wanting to help!

I felt in need of a baking day last week but didn’t actually want to eat it all. I decided to try freezing the ready portioned chocolate chip cookie dough. Today I cooked some of them from frozen and am so excited that it actually worked!

A much needed boost after a morning spent sorting out part of my dining room. It’s reached that worse before it gets better stage and I was feeling a little defeated. I have so many ‘theory/practice! Books! Any ideas what I could do with the ones I don’t want any more?

Could you offer the books to an FE 'institution'?

We have a branch of Oxfam in Canterbury who take all sorts of 'specialist' books and sell them on (not in their shop) - not sure that makes any sense at all - my late BIL had all sorts of photography books and something else, can't think what...anyway my sister rang them and they collected them from her house.

Glad the cookie dough worked out!

That’s a good idea. I’ll explore. I suspect many of them are completely out of date - education is such an ever changing beast!

Good morning - 'tis Friday

Nothing exciting to report from here - I am enjoying the change in the weather - perhaps we will be able to salvage a little of our summer.

 I'm concerned that we haven't heard from fm in ages - perhaps she just doesn't feel like joining in - I do hope she is okay...

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend filled with things that you enjoy x
