Did I say log man delivered another load? They are going in the small open barn so stacking them isn't urgent. The last lot were in the big barn that I park my car in. I don't like leaving it out, it gets so hot inside.
I'm going to the SM today. I rather enjoy the SM, Aladdin's cave, full of goodies. I have to take a list and be strict with myself!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Think there must be some gremlins on here this morning, didn't see you earlier either @wfnp5bk4spsSNFYKh1 sorry to hear you've felt poorly with migraine the last few days. Take care Rosie and have a restful day. OH is feeling a bit better this week, I'm sure the very hot weather made him feel so tired and lethargic. Thank you for asking. It's pilates day today.
@Busy-Lizzie have a good mooch at the SM one or two goodies jumping in your basket won't hurt😉🤭 Glad the new delivery of logs can be left for awhile. Take care
Morning all, Just finished moving and stacking 20 wheelbarrows of logs and I'm officially knac***ed. We should have enough to see us through the winter without having to use the central heating too much. Went to fat club this morning and I had put 2lbs on. That serves us right for allowing the boys to choose what we had for dinner on holiday. Let's just say they didn't choose salad and lean meat. Off to get my nails sorted this afternoon. We had more rain overnight so the garden is looking good at the moment. We are so luckily at the moment with the weather, I feel for those who are not getting enough of the wet stuff. Hope you feel better soon BL and that you get better news re OH.
Good afternoon .Been buying some art materials over this past few weeks . Thinking toward the Autumn I thought I would try to learn to paint .OH has bought me paints, brushes art pads ,palette knives etc. Waiting for the cooler weather when I will be indoors more to get started . I need to do a lot of work in the garden .It has become overgrown with the rain and sunshine . Been thinking seriously about buying more drought tolerant plants .
Hi @Yviestevie & @Rubee Just got back from S'burys got the few bits on list and no extras went in. Although the chocolate brioche... they were on the list... had started to melt by the time I got home 🤭 Sun is out and it's really hot. OH is doing his Zoom pilates Oh heck @Yviestevie that's a lot of logs stacked this morning 😤 hope your backs ok. Enjoy your pampering this afternoon. @Rubee your new painting items sound lovely, you're going be busy during autumn and winter. Will you paint 'still life' or paint scenic picture. Need a cup of tea. Have a lovely afternoon everyone.
Been looking into a few financial matters and revisited my wrangling with current energy company. I can't wait for them to receive my £400 rebate in a couple of months!
They've steadfastly refused to reduce my direct debit but did recently allow me to miss ONE monthly payment of £155. Despite this, at no point have I ever owed them any money
Oct 2020 £45 in credit Oct 2021 £436 in credit Oct 2022 based on the last 2 months usage/charges, estimated £610 in credit. Plus the first instalment of the £400 (potentially).
I think they've had long enough - time to move to a new supplier.
@Biglad Can't possibly comment about energy companies at the moment. I am so angry with them my language would be too bad. @Rubee I started art lessons last September and I am loving it. Hope you enjoy it too. @star gaze lily I think I'd have had to eat them rather than letting them melt. It's been ages since anything 'nice' went into my shopping trolley. Only another stone or so to lose and then perhaps I can start having the occasional treat.
I've popped them in the fridge @Yviestevie hopefully they will be ok 😂 I'm sure you'll lose the 2lb quickly, you've done really well losing weight these last few months. You deserved a treat on your holiday.
Lily I need to learn some painting techniques . Then I would like to paint landscapes .Thank you Yvie. I don’t know how successful I will be ,but I do want to try .
Good afternoon everyone. I am truly tired now having spent hours cutting back rampant dog roses that did their best to tear me and my fleece to bits. It was warm work and the fleece was purely for protective purposes but I'm in now and done for the day. I cannot get another blade of grass (if I had any) into my two green bins which are due for emptying tomorrow.
Goodness me @Biglad, I think I need to know the make of your comfy chair. Maybe then I would get a decent sleep at night. Lovely picture too - especially of the blackbird. Your lawn is definitely looking lush. Please do NOT mention energy companies. I can feel my canines elongating! It took me seven months to finally get a resolution to my wrangle and to have in writing (on my account) the money I was jointly owed from all of them.
@debs64 its great to see you. You don't need to hesitate about popping in - we missed you I'm glad to hear that your new time changes at work are leaving you less exhausted and you must be looking forward to spending some quality time with your fiancé.
Rosie I was sorry to read that you have been suffering with migraine for a few days. The heat certainly won't have helped. Keep well hydrated.
T'Bird, chin up Chuck. I can understand your desperation having spent so much loving care on your garden only to have this prolonged spell of hot, dry and windy weather destroy it all. Heartbreaking doesn't cover it.
Busy, you did tell us about your second load of logs and thank goodness this next delivery is a smaller one. You will be worn out!
Yvie, its a good job your did your log stacking before you had your nails done! Hope your back is not too achey. I know the feeling about boring stuff going into the trolley at the SM, but needs must if I want good results from my next blood test.
Ruby, what a lovely new hobby for you. Painting must be quite a relaxing hobby. You will have to let us know how you go on.
SGL - eat the brioche!
