Something About Nothing..........# 9

[schumigirl]

were you hiddin in ma wardrobe.....thats what I had to wear today because of the stinkin Scottish weather !!!!

Brrrrrrrr.....

It`s not fun is it!!! We lost part of our roof last night with the gales......sat waiting for a roofer to appear just now!!!

Here is the bar we were trying to finish off with bottlecaps the night before NYE. We needed 77 more Bud Select and we got them. The Bud Light Lime drinkers couldn't quite keep up.

The white lettering is made up of LED lights that plug in behind it.

I will very unselfishly volunteer to make up the deficit left by the Bud Light Lime drinkers.......Anything to help out if I can



Yep, lost part of our roof at 2am this morning.....thought the whole world was falling on top of us........instead it was all over the front garden.....thankfully missed DH`s precious and much loved car (my little car was in the garage safe)..................so waiting on builder who was supposed to be here 2 hours ago!!! But I imagine he will be very busy today so won`t make a fuss, but what a mess!!!

Total contrast to the inside of house which over the last 2 days I have totally decluttered our walk in wardrobes and drawers....DS`s wardrobes and drawers, some of the attic and utility room....I am so pleased and have so much empty space to start filling again I have space for new shoes again

Kitchen and rest of attic tomorrow

Mac......I have to admire your packing regime......although if I wore all those clothes on a flight I don`t think my butt would fit in the seat We do pack far too much even for two weeks!!

 

[EPRV We love Disney]

if you are driving, take both.........



if you are flying, wear a lot of clothes on the plane so you have more room in your luggage.......

layer yourself.

wear 2 pairs of shorts.
under that, wear leggings/armour all
wear the jeans over the above.

wear 2 tees.
over that, a long sleeve top
and a windbreaker vest over that.

then put on the coat.

wear a winter type of hat with gloves stuck inside them.

can't help you with the shoes except you could put shoes/sandals in the coat pockets.



Then, pack the suitcase
you won't be over the weight limit then.

LOLOLOL!! I had the exact same question as Tink! I'll be at RPR in early Feb and remember reading that it was reeeaaaalllly cold last year!

I'm imagining myself with all the layers!! In the plane! Just try to get through security with all those layers.. they would definitley need the X-ray!

Thanks for the giggle.

I'm in a packing quandry as well. I'm flying and I'm (ahem) a person that really needs a small pack animal to carry my luggage while traveling. My friend, who I'll be travelling with, managed to do a two week vacation, in PERU, with a CARRYON only! Seriously?

**giggle** E (perv)

maybe the roof could be done in beer capsjk, roofing es expensive

bud eeew, although i did manage to chug down one of the lime ones @ HHN, lesser of all evil sorta thing.

did the orange crop survive?

 

[Tinker-tude]

We need a new roof. We've discovered a few leaks that could turn into major problems with a lot of spring rain. We need to call the roofers and get a temporary solution until it's hot enough to redo the tar and shingles.

HAPPY WEEKEND, HOMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's been very warm here.

I looked out the front door today and saw DS6 standing on the roof of the van.

Wearing nothing but his Sunday suit vest.


What the neighbors must think....

Oh that`s not good......new roofs tend to be expensive...ouch!!!

We too have had the mildest winter for a long time.....no snow locally but we`ve had gales that have done a lot of damage.
Had the roofer out yesterday repairing our damage from Last Tuesday where a lot of our slates and ridge tiles came off..........not looking forward to that bill coming in!! Thankfully insurance will pay most of it.


House has been totally de-cluttered now.......very pleased with myself. I have so much space everywhere now. Finished the kitchen yesterday. Now.......what to put where the redundant pasta maker....yoghurt maker....jack lalanne juicer.......old food processor.....breadmaker........and all other "had to get" gadgets lived.

But I love the house is so tidy and clutter free

if you are now finished with the decluttering, you must not have had 25 years of junk to go thru.............


i just finished the kitchen.
more rooms to go...............


my goal is to be completed by august........

My secret is..........move home every so often............

We have had 5 moves in 22 years together..........so over the years we have managed to get rid of the bulk of clutter. But as you know it soon builds up. I am very guilty of buying every new kitchen gadget that comes on the market........pineapple corer......thing that makes cucumbers into fancy twirls The yoghurt maker was the best though.......none of us like yoghurt!!!!!

I do have a corner.......well, a large corner in the attic with my "do not touch" stuff. Anything with emotional connections or things I think may come in handy in the future. And I can`t part with photographs of anyone so a few large boxes of those haven`t been touched. I did waste a few hours going through pics I hadn`t seen for a while. Found some lovely pictures of my mum and dad taken before he got ill that I had forgotten I had. I was pleased to see them.

Must get round to scanning them and storing on puter.

I have conveniently forgotten the garage and the outside sheds......that`s not my domain

Sunday night again..........

And I haven't even finished a room yet. I think the small dent I made has been refilled already.

My goal is before my parent s come visit, which is either spring or fall. I'm hoping fall.

Sunday night again..........

I have a problem losing things and buying them again. A week later, I find the old thing. Also, things that break a little that I intend to fix and never get around to doing it.


The kids really don't let me spend more than about ten minutes doing anything without interruptions, so every now and then when I'm on the verge of insanity, my friends come over and we have a great time hauling loads to Good Will and other charities. I have no problem getting rid of things, I just collect them a LOT faster than I can keep them organized.

My thoughts on Tebow - Matthew 6:5: “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward."

MH - how long is the Matterhorn down for? I'm really hoping it's up before our trip in April but not optimistic.

It closed yesterday and will be down until June 14th.

Howdy all..

Robbie/Andy check in to tell us how California is....

Now about football.I have NEVER been a GB fan.But Rodgers is one of my fav qb's,as of now.My 2'nd is Tebow,followed him since The Gator days.
At least I got two teams to follow in the post season

Tebow beating Big Ben last Sunday is a game I will not forget for along time!!!

 

[Mad Hattered]

Personally, since my Cowboys were a mess this year and didn't do enough to get in, I am totalling rooting for Drew Brees and the Saints to win it all.

I hate the Gators so Tebow does nothing for me (not to mention he sucks as an NFL quarterback and one game doesn't mean crap) - sorry Double D. I am a Hurricanes fan so I can't possibly root for a Gator (other than this week because I hate the Patriots more!

 

[macraven]

i'm waiting for baseball season to begin...
