Why is it that vaccy called animal designed for animal hair aren't spent over an hour this morning unwnding, cutting, swearing, even using tweezers to get mine working again. Dog hairs.
Spent afternoon winter tidying/clearing my end of the garage so that when i need to I can hook up my propagator. mostly flower pots I had just thron intherre and packed some seeds I had saved.
Back aches (perhaps its the weather!) and I am grubby. Now for a cup of tea.
Well, no casualties at nursery today, thank goodness. And bought Jess's pumpkin. Haven't a clue what to do for dinner tonight. Bought some reduced veg from the co-op, so probably chicken dinner.
Just a quick call, have had a busy sort of day, but achieved very little, you know how it is. I had to go to the bank this morning to arrange a bank draft to pay the deposit on next years holiday to France. Daylight robbery. It's £25 for an international bank transfer, and £10 for a bank draft. Then went to the post office to post it and when I enquired how much it was for recorded delivery, our charming postmaster - not - said it would be £7, is everyone is out to rob me today.?
Anyway hope everyone is feeling better that have been under the weather.
Shepherds pie with cheesy topping, broccoli, butternut squash for tea.
I can hear the vac going so OH must have finished stripping( wallpaper) so it's safe to venture back to the lounge.
Is Nutty Nora's pumpkin perfectly carved? I'm surprised she lets something sit by the door for that long - it could rot by halloween (unless its a plastic one??)
Ok, the quiz answer is 26lb 8oz or 12kg - which means that Geoff is the winner with his guess of 27lb 7oz - but he's already got a prize!
Lots of pumpkin soup, and pumpkin pie, and might even have a go at Inka's pumpkin cheesecake!
My back is still aching - I did do some digging at lunchtime but I made sure not to try and turn too much soil in one go.
Got sidetracked by trashy tv, which can watch whilst playing solartaire on pc, so ironing going very slowly. Did also clean kitchen, downstairs cloakroom/loo & bathroom. Daughter back & gone for a snooze before night duty.
Geoff- must be an age thng- sorry, grovelling here. OH tripped over in Austria, ended up with removal of wedding ring, & has also tripped over since when walking back from work. Now he's rather hesitant, not surprised really, so you can imagine the 2 of us, me off-balance, going into town......
Bjay- that's reminded me that a curtain pole is in the loft. New curtains are in cupboard- hall window part way upstairs, but large houseplants on the sill. Wonder if it'll ever get done? Like replacing 2 lampshades. Ok I could do, but the 'bit' in middle wont undo so OH has been going to replace for ever! J.
I like porridge too, but just as an evening snack, rather than main meal.
I prefer Quaker's Simply range - chocolate flavoured; or caramel flavoured; or brownie flavoured; or strawberry flavoured. It's very good for the arteries too.
Managed to plant out wallflowers; without incurring twisted ankle, broken leg, or blown stains on trousers.

Magistrate court is, Crown court isn't

It is odd- offence on Friday- arrested yesterday-in court today- having porridge tonight

I'm all good for jobs for now thanks Geoff!
Need a curtain rail putting up. Winter is on its way. Window about 12 foot up directly above stairs. OK?
Nutty Nora has already got her pumpkin outside but it is rather titchy.
Just trying to expand my business empire
I saw a trailer for the Young Apprentice yesterday-already some of them are instantly smackable
Hi everyone.

Hope your pride is not hurting too much Geoff.
Cheers for now
