Got to take my horse to the vets tommorow, dreading it! Not only have I got to drive my Lorry in high winds but this appointment will likely max out his insurance AND very likely determine his fate. If we can't get control of this arthritis in his spine I don't think we can justify keeping him in pain much longer. He is such a lovely horse I am crossing all my fingers

IDL, I've just read that too..... Love and thoughts go out to Becci and her family xxx

Morning all
Hope Becci is going to be ok.
OH gone to work. Put a wash load in and tidied up. Lo watching TV and eating his breakfast so going to get in the shower in a sec
Got the good shop to do and need to go to the bank to put everyone's deposit in for the cocktail making so I can phone up later and pay that
I had a terrible nights sleep last night... OH dropped off before me and was snoring away! Then I was too hot and couldn't get comfy.
Finally dropped off but then couldn't get up this morning.
Need to call at the yellow supermarket this morning to get some bits for lunches this week then off to work.
The big boss is out today so in the words of Flossie, I need to do some 'Wedmin' and utilise the printer lol

Morning ladies - Monday again!
Becci - so sorry for your loss, take care of yourself and you know we will all be here when you're ready xx
Emm - love a bit of Wedmin!!!
Had a bit of a mixed weekend. Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary party on Friday night was fab but then had the whole thing with the cat which was sad, but then tried my dress on yesterday and had a lovely lunch with my mum so that was happy! Then got home and our oven broke lol. Text the landlady last night but still awaiting a response. Everything is working fine apart from there is no hot air so I think the element needs replacing. I'd had food in there for 30 mins that I thought was cooking, but obviously it wasn't... by the time I realised it was quite late and we didn't really have an alternative, so we ordered a D0m1n0s!

So sorry Becci for your loss xx
Morning Ladies. Sorry to hear about your cat Flossie xx
Off to the gym in a mo for my induction. Nervous and excited. Haven't been for a couple of years but I'm sure once I get going it will be like I've never left. Will only be able to go once or twice a week because of work and kids but it's got to be better then not at all.
I'm not too bothered about losing weight although that would be great, it's more about toning up and becoming fitter.
After I'm popping to the post office to send the pair of shoes back that I'm not keeping and to send a couple of invites that I haven't got around to sending yet. The rest I can hand deliver.
One of my Bridesmaids will be round later for a catch up and coffee which will be nice and then I need to get to my LO school early for watch me learn which is to go in and look at their work. Haven't been able to go to the last couple of these as I've had to work.
Hope everyone is ok.

Morning all. Very confused. My colleague was meant to be in work this morning but he isn't here.. Never mind I prefer it when I am on my own. Monthly reports today so should fly by. Need a bit of motivation though.
Had a weird night. Missed lunch as was out shopping so had dinner at 4 then by 10 I was starving. waited for OH to come home then had jacket potatoes. Was exhausted going to bed.

Flossie is it a fan oven? It may be that the motors broken. It happened on ours about 6 months ago. dad bought a new oven and took it apart and replaced it (don't expect you to do it.. the landlady should sort it!). Was really annoying though because sometimes it would work so cook ok and other times not work and like you be waiting for ages to find it wasn't working.

CommentAuthorFlossie
Yep it's a fan oven. The fan is working fine, there is just no heat at all. It tripped the RCD fuse which upon G00gl1ng suggests it is definitely the element that has probably burnt out, so because there is a break in the circuit and a potential fire hazard it shut itself down as a safety measure. The part itself seems very cheap, it will be the labour that carries the most costs! I would happily have a go myself but as it's dealing with electric I would rather a professional did it!

That's annoying then. Can you suggest that you pay to get it sorted and them reduce rent one month? That way may get it done quicker.

I will wait and see what she says when she replies. I would rather she sorted it to be honest, it's more of a faff to amend my standing order for the rent! She's sent an electrician out to us before so I don't know if it's someone she regularly uses/knows quite well. She is normally pretty good to be fair to her.
I have based my shopping list/meals for this week on the presumption we won't have an oven!

Haha safe thing to do!
Glad you do that. My mom thinks I'm mad but whenever I go shopping I always have set meals and lunches in my head for the week. She just buys a bunch of food and then makes it into meals after. Don think my head would cope with just buying random bits and hoping they fit together! She bought us a magnetic weekly food planner for Christmas :) can't wait to get it on our fridge!

Ooooh no I couldn't shop like that either! I map out all meals for the week and then write my shopping list based on that. I couldn't just pick random bits and bobs up... I would probably spend an absolute fortune that way, buying only what you need and what you know you are going to use helps you ensure you don't spend too much. Would probably also end up throwing loads of stuff out that hadn't been used - waste of money!

Agree. Last night mom cooked a full chicken because it had to be cooked or would be wasted. It wont be wasted now will be used for dinners and sandwiches but seems a bit weird to me.

Just had a response from our landlady - "Hi Lauren I'll get onto it right away x". :)
I definitely couldn't do that Emily. Although sometimes I think I should buy more as we often struggle for lunches... I try to make extra of the dinners I make so we have leftovers for lunch the next day but it doesn't always work out. I'm quite happy with stuff like porridge or soup and fruit etc. for lunch though and OH just sorts himself out lol.

Yay great news! Because ofOH shifts I really have to think about his lunches but a lot of the time he will take a ready meal because of working through the evening/night which makes it easier. I am like you and happy to eat whatever/skip lunch if needs be.
I was focussed this morning on having a healthier week this week as feeling tired and generally deflated. Hasn't been a good start though. Filled my lunch bag with fruit etc but then have eaten biscuits and a cereal bar from my drawer.. oops

I really need to have a good week this week - I was a bit terrible last week, and definitely over the weekend!!! We had curry Saturday night which was our standard naughty Saturday treat (despite being naughty on Weds and Fri too hehe), but then we had the whole oven issue last night and ended up with Dom1n0s. Also did zero exercise last week!
Good week this week then I think on Saturday we're going to Z@ Z@ B@z@@r in Bristol before we go to the theatre, which is a massive buffet with every cuisine you can think of. So safe to say I shall be stuffing my face there!

Sounds good. At least it is still your weekly Saturday treat! Its hard to be good constantly though
Were going to the theatre on the 10th. Just a little amateur one as taking my aunt out for her 60th and the professional ones in Birmingham are £40 minimum for 1 ticket. I go to a few little theatres but have never been to this one or seen this stage company before so should be interesting. What are you going to see?

I love going to the theatre, but agree the prices are a bit steep! We are going to see Vincent & Flavia's 'The Last Tango' (from Str1ctly). Was a joint Christmas pressie from my mum. OH has never been to the theatre before so looking forward it.

I don’t plan meals and yes, you ladies are right, I end up spending money unnecessarily and then throwing it all out!!!! To be fair, I tend to pick bits up as I’m going through the week instead of doing a big shop but even that can end up costing a fortune! I hate food shopping!

I would spend so much money on random bits and pieces if I kept going in all week. Would just buy the sale stuff lol!
Ahh I almost got Mom tickets for that but decided against it.

The worst thing about planning ahead is what if you don’t fancy it by the time that meal comes round or do you not allocate a meal to a day?
To be fair, I don’t really eat meals on an evening but if I did I should plan lol x

I do allocate meals to a particular day. I don't find that I don't fancy it... because I know I'm having it, I look forward to it. I think I would find it harder if I didn't know what I was having as it would make me more indecisive!

Love that restaurant Flossie. All this week they have an offer on where dinner is £9.99. Usually that offer is only available on a Monday. We were thinking of going tomorrow but don't know if we will bother as we will be in town Saturday night as going to Br0wn$ for an early valentines meal.

We tend to allocate them to a day because we plan them to fit in with what we have on. Like on Mondays we leave for Cubs at 6 and don't get home from football till 9 so need something quick to eat before then so would plan something simple. Although we do mix it up if we don't fancy something and are more flexible

CommentAuthorElinor Claire
We plan meals for the week when we do our shopping on Saturday, but don't necessarily allocate them to a day. We work in terms of needing so many quick meals when we have something in the evening, and so many meals that can take longer as we don't have to be out. Sometimes use by dates on things will determine when we use them, but we try to allow for a choice.

I hope all goes ok Faye. I'm sure there must be something to at least keep pain under control, even if the arthritis itself can't be controlled.

This week is looking interesting. We have two members of staff on leave and two off sick. One that is off sick we know won't be in at all this week as she was signed off for two weeks following complications with a cataract surgery. The other isn't due in until Wednesday now, so fingers crossed she's better, as she's due to cover the evening. One of the two that is on leave wouldn't be in until Wednesday, so it's not noticeable yet, but it will be. Hopefully there won't be much that needs sorting urgently this week.

Feeling a tad tired still, need to get an early night tonight thought as back in on an early shift tomorrow. The. Two more nights from Wednesday,
I also plan meals each week by what I buy but again, not for a certain day. I do this especially if I am finishing work at nine as then I can stick something in the slow cooker so that is planned.
