louby loo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What's everyone up to this week? Working, not working, retired or anything! It's Tuesday, and I've done nothing since last Wednesday !🙀 Other than watching TV that is.... I feel I have 'walked' our area out now, and everywhere is sooooo muddy- that walking takes real concentration to stay upright at all times!! Unless I 'street walk', but then I might meet people and be expected to chat - and I've discovered I quite like being anti-social these days ( well there is only so much chit-chat you can do at the moment) Not worked on any TLD list - I've decided they will all be done worked/on during working hours from now on. I'm amazed to find I actually just made myself more work really 🙀🙀. I have also discovered that much of it doesn't really matter if it get done in time or not! 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Well done for getting the JAB 😁. If they do it 'age-down' in the next lot I'm hoping to get mine soon. Ohww, I'm babysitting tomorrow while my daughter is working too! 😁 I have an Asda deliver too.... but it's my birthday so it's full of surprises 🤣🤣🤣 We're fully embracing new lockdown birthday treat ideas!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside is that it is at a MVS, not sure how I will cope with 'people' 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Good to hear people are getting jabbed. I spent the day in school yesterday catching up with marking and having a good tidy up. Today I’ve been preparing our engagement/safeguarding trackers for the next half term and cooking - tomato soup, cheese scones and sausage rolls for lunch this week. Had a really long conversation with a friend this afternoon. Tonight I’m going to do a load of governor work and some more sock knitting. Tomorrow I have a governor meeting in the morning, school work to do and then I’m going to see my mum and dad for the first time since Christmas!

Enjoy your time with your bubble buddies Lol I'd love to be able to just stop but some of it must be done!! However, today is a slower kind of day - by accident as I didn't sleep brilliantly and got up later than I planned. I am currently taking the last of the wax out of a load of used candle jars and contemplating turning one of the large ones into a mini terrarium. I don't have a great reputation with plants though. Although having said that I do have an orchid that a child gave me on the kitchen windowsill that is on its third flowering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the strange thing about orchids- once you find the right place they are pretty much indestructible !! My daughter call my utility room the orchid hospital - 'if/when' they finish flowing they get put ontop of a cupboard out there and get neglected left until they all flower again!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Louby - that is pretty much my approach to all plants - am just lucky that orchids seem to like it! Well, you will probably all be pleased to know that my governor chat went on a while so I’m not going to get any school work done today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since March last year we always have naughty Saturday as in a pre Covid life we would often go out on a Saturday. We are very good Sun to Friday (I am following the WW plan) but Saturdays are for indulgence. We take turns choosing the Saturday night treat.....sometimes it's a take away and sometimes it recipes that involve cream and cheese that I cannot eat on my diet the rest of the week.....and bread....there is nearly always crusty bread Saturday lunchtime lol 18 hours ago, Froglet said: cooking - tomato soup, cheese scones and sausage rolls for lunch this week.

Froglet you amaze me and make me feel quite the sloth.....your wonderful cooking and craft. I did make my kids laugh out loud at the weekend though when I said I was going to darn a wooly sock and they took the mickey....they soon shut up when I brandished my nans old wooden darning mushroom or is it a toadstool....anyway it works and I have no hole in my sock now! 4 hours ago, Froglet said: I don't have a great reputation with plants though. Have you ever seen airplants....https://lovetillys.co.uk/product-category/air-plant-kits-and-gifts/ They seem to be a good idea for regular plant murderers lol I hope you all enjoy the rest of your half terms week and are all getting some good rest before you have to start again.

Have you ever seen airplants....https://lovetillys.co.uk/product-category/air-plant-kits-and-gifts/ They seem to be a good idea for regular plant murderers lol I think of myself more as a plant torturer - I frequently remember them and dowse them in water which seems to give them a couple of days respite when they are looking sad and pathetic! I hadn't seen airplants before but I'm intrigued - thank you! As for cooking and craft would it help for me to tell you that I frequently spend the day/evening pootling - achieving very little other than maybe having mindlessly watched some TV that I've seen before so I don't have to think about it, having a nap and maybe doing a game (or two or 10) of sudoku! Someone earlier on the thread (Panders?) said something about me being busy and it just made me smile - I am so lazy compared to my sister and mum, am constantly playing catch up. Plus I only tell you when I actually do something - if you add it all up over time, that's not much! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too have tried this trickery! Not worked this time🙁 I gave this orchid so many chances ...... it's looking so bad at the moment I really do think it is time to give it the heave-ho.

Cait Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I cut my poinsettia back when it starts to look like that. I’ve had the same plant for about 6 years now and it looked lush this Christmas. It was actually my daughter’s plant, and now she’s moved in with her partner, I gifted it to her at Christmas. It’s well and truly dead now. 🤭😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
