Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

Car will be fixed by the week-end. Ugh. Talk about a money pit Schumi. I was not planning on putting that much money into the car. But, I am not ready to buy new yet, and I like my car, so this better be the last very costly repair, or it will sadly be parted with. I hope your boiler is less costly and gets fixed quickly.

Hope your repairs are kind to your wallet.......our boiler.....not so kind on the bank account

schumi, no one can live without heat and hot water very long.
let's hope the dude will be able to replace yours quickly and cheaply.

maybe if you give him a bottle of wine and chocolates, he will give you a discount on the bill......

going out shopping today will get your mind off the house troubles.
buy something nice for yourself and not just a leg of lamb.

yea, the time changes this weekend.
now it will be dark around 5 instead of 6 pm.

i've been back from vacation for almost 2 weeks.
still trying to get back into the regular routine at home.
does that happen to anyone else?
i came back home totally relaxed and recharged, now i am bored cleaning out the basement.
lol

Well, it is going to be more expensive than I told you as he found some things that need sorted or replaced.....I stopped listening ....... but it has to be done so nothing much to do about it......s`only money

We had our time change last weekend......already it seems like winter......no, don`t think I`m adjusted yet from vacation mode........even getting booked for next year hasn`t settled me this time......I just want to be back

Don`t spend too much time in that basement.........

carole - oh man, that stinks, at least a new one should be good for decades or as plumber told me last year "...it will outlive you...". Needless to say I didn't buy it from him.

I'm bored outta my mind. went to the dr's on Tuesday, I'm quarantined until eyes clear.not ebola, bacterial pink eye. It's official, I am a dirty girl lol toss in a dozie of a sinus infection = red-eyed me of a slobbering mess. bonus points got poked with a flu shot.

How bored am I? wrapped all the Christmas presents I had on hand today and cleaned out 2 closets, yippy skippy

Well, he fitted our previous boiler when we moved in here 10 years ago...told us it would last 10 years....and it has.....almost to the day!!! This new one we are getting fitted is a super duper all singing all dancing top of the range one.......and will probably last 10 years too......but we hope to be moved away from this area by then.....all depending of course where DS ends up after he graduates from University......but we won`t be in this house then either I think......I`m sure I have a bit of gypsy in me....always wanting to go somewhere else.....

Ebola...............Flu shot......oh nasty........I`m sure you`ll still look lovely even with all your symptoms........they sound just peachy getting them altogether

Christmas???? You wrapped all your presents..........No surely not......... I haven`t even began yet.........



Just done half a day trip report tonight.......got a headache and planning an early night......my DH says I`ve got a headache because I`m seeing all that money disappear on what I consider to be nothing .........but, really......you can`t be without heat or hot water.......just not a very exciting purchase

Hope everyone`s good

 

[keishashadow]

Christmas Keisha!? Not even close to figuring out what to get and wrap for everyone. Decided on Loot Crate for 3 months for DS and Birch Box for DD for a few months. If both don't like, I didn't spend that much. They really don't need anything. Their big purchase may be a couch. After years of dogs and kid using my couch as a trampoline, we need a new one. I hate furniture shopping. So, may make the family go with.

Hope your boredom gets you to do something fun to do. Getting ready for that very cool air to come this week-end? Brrr.

i'll think about the cold weather tomorrow a trampoline couch? cool lol

going to have to google those, never heard of them. I missed your comment re the car fix, yuck. I tend to keep them going as long as possible.

carol - our boiler is from the 70's. Big old monster the size of a bathtub. How exciting to plan such an exciting future! I just wrapped the Xmas goodies I have on hand. GD is mostly done as is a great-niece & her parents. plenty more retail therapy on the horizon. my adults kids don't want cash & won't give me a list, they want to be surprised.

Just stopping by to say hi. I missed Wednesday so here is Thursday.

Lol......your boiler sounds like something out of a horror movie

I agree with your kids......I love surprises still......as long as you don't tell me I'm getting a surprise........that drives me nuts

You got me thinking last night about christmas......I don't think I have a lot to buy this year at all.......well, i don't think I do........must do a list.


Well, we have a boiler in........we have hot water and tomorrow will have heating.......yay.........so at least we can all shower in our own showers tonight..........

Off to watch episode 2 of AHS.........

 

[keishashadow]

my house is something out of a horror moviebut it's ours lol

bummed it's supposed to rain here tomorrow night. hope at least Orlando has nice weather for the hordes of ghouls.

 

[macraven]

did i read correctly that our janet/keisha is now a pinkie?


now how did that happen?


hope you are less pink now and doing better!


look at the bright side keisha, it's better to be pink than pregnant.



schumi, when we have a house, appliance or big car expense, i start to think of how many flights i could take to Orlando for what i am paying out on that....

best thing about getting a new boiler is you no longer have to go to friends' homes to wash your hair in the morning.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Happy Halloween to all. Hope everyone has a great time tonight and don't eat to much candy!

Oh and Happy Friday too

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Halloween y'all! It is Friday! Kids will be handing out candy this year. Teens are so fickle. It is going to be chilly, so winter jacket will be worn tonight.

No car yet, so I hope it gets fixed soon. I hate not being moble.

Stay warm.

Yes it was lovely this morning using my own shower.......felt like luxury.....

Hey MrsBluer ...........Happy Halloween to you too

Stay warm.

Fingers crossed for car troubles to be sorted soon.........wish it was chilly here....we are having the warmest end of October ever....it's 19 degrees here, nearly 70 in Fahrenheit ..........Very unusual for us.



Plumber nearly finished.......ironically we don't need the heating just yet.........but having hot water is like a treat again........but it's supposed to be really chilly next week.....will be glad of the heating then.

Bought some candy and chocolate for our nearest neighbours 2 little girls, will wander over and hand it in to them later when I know they'll have their costumes on. We don't have a lot of young children in our little bit of the world so no point buying lots of stuff.......we would eat them!!!

Chinese takeout tonight.......some wine.......and a Michael Myers marathon........yes, that's a great idea on Halloween

Have a great Halloween

i see a few homies are talking about trick and treating for tonight.
sounds like all of you have that kiddie event on the actual date/31st.

in the area where i live, i think it is about 10 towns that organizes trick/treating to specific dates.

6 of the cities, including mine restricted the kids going out to T or T on last sunday from 2:00-5:00.
other 4 places had theirs on last saturday from 1:00-4:00.

it has been regulated that way for over the past 15 years.

cities found that it makes the event a lot safer when it is controlled to daylight and only specific hours.
more police are out in force making sure everyone is safe.

it is nothing like what it was when i was a kid and ran the streets to late evening to any house that had a light on to get more goodies for my bag.....

we did not get even one child last sunday afternoon, but then, we don't have any littles in our surrounding 3 block area.

up here, kids stay in their neighborhood for T and T.

i have been reading where more larger cities and surrounding communities have gone to a restricted official date for T and T over the years.

right now we have wind gusts up to 40 mph and anyone that raked leaves this week, no longer have them at the curb now.
city comes once a week to vaccum up the leaves for the month thru november.

and, it is spitting snow.

it's 36 degrees and our warm temps are now a thing in the past......

Happy Friday to all the homies!

keisha puts the fun into halloween for us!



chinese take out sounds great.
i might do that too for tonight.

 

[schumigirl]

to all my ghoul-friends

Nice!!!!



We are having the warmest UK Halloween on record........doesn't really feel like Halloween..........But To get in the mood........just watched the original Halloween movie.......

Got Halloween 2 coming up next.......I'm not going to sleep much tonight.........

Why do I do it.........

Have a great weekend

 

[tink1957]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hope everyone got lots of treats and not too many tricks

The wind is blowing like crazy outside and temps in the 30's tomorrow.... but next week it will be in the 70's again ...welcome to bipolar Georgia.

Carole...glad you have hot water again and save an egg roll for me.

Mac ...I was looking at flights to Orlando over New Years and found one for $104 on Frontier...so tempted but I need to eat and pay bills this winter...I can dream though

Janet...to answer your question about propane prices...it was cheaper this year and it helps to buy early before it gets really cold.

Have a good weekend everyone.

did you have any trick and treaters dressed up as Mr Myers this year?

maybe you are still awake after watching the halloween movies this evening.
if so, take out the wine bottle and enjoy.
you'll be asleep real soon........

in our town and surrounding towns, the T and T'ers go out on specific date and time period.
ours was last sunday afternoon.
weather was decent for them.

today, windy and that makes it colder here for us.
have had snow showers off and on, just stuck my head out the front door and it's still blowing snow.
nothing will stick though.

fixed a cornbread casserole tonight and didn't get it put away quickly.
wanted to let it cool completely before i stuck the left overs in the fridge.

ended up throwing out the rest of the dinner.
left the kitchen for 30 minutes and when i came back to put the food away, saw the cat ate the top portion of the cornbread.

(meat was layered under the cook cornbread)


ick.
i don't eat their catfood so they shouldn't eat my dinners.

hope all the homies are doing fine.

frontier isn't popular where i fly out of.
not dependable on their times.
maybe it's better out of atlanta.

i would think that the darkside would be so packed for NYE and NY day.
went early this january and the parks did have the crowds when we were there.
lightened up on the second week of january.

a few homies i know always hit the parks and city walk during NYE period.
they love it.
try it Tink, maybe it will be fun for you.
eat pb&j for a week and swing that spur of the moment trip!




i tried to check out some twitters and see how hhn was going tonight.
agavegirl is there and hoping she has been able to get to all the houses and shows.......

LOL.......good description....I`m going to steal that one and change as appropriate of course

Ended up with Indian food last night.....Tom and I fancied a really, really hot curry.....it was gorgeous....Kyle still had chinese.....fortunately the two places are close together, so they went and collected them as delivery was over an hour..........

No trick or treaters at all last night......it`s so quiet where we are it`s very unusual.......just Kyle with his Myers tee shirt was enough to shake me!!! Did watch both movies......most of the first one was through my fingers though or a cushion ......no nightmares last night

love the sound of your cornbread.....not after the cat had their share though.....

No to snow........if you get it....we`re usually a few weeks behind you weather wise.......just, NO!!! Although we are having it so warm just now we know we are going to pay for it eventually. Beautiful again today and so mild.....spoke to my mum this morning and they are having some horrible weather up there....wild and rainy. Hope it stays there

mac......1st November today.......is today the D-Day we spoke about

i tried to check out some twitters and see how hhn was going tonight.
agavegirl is there and hoping she has been able to get to all the houses and shows.......

Looking forward to hearing what she has done too


Haven`t had my heating on yet as it`s so mild.....not a complaint though. Having quiet day in all to myself today.....DH is away and DS is spending today in University Chem Lab........

Hope everyone has a great weekend whatever you`re doing
