Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[moonlights]

Oh wow, exciting day. Will cross fingers, toes and knees until you get your response.

Honestly, I can't do much exercise and I don't worry about it. Great for toning but generally unimportant for weight loss until the very late stages at least. I know the feeling of being puffed and in pain though and it's fantastic when that gets easier - and it will!

 

[Alpaca]

I SO related to your words on walking Susie!!! It's not laziness though - and once you start feeling lighter it will just happen magically that you'll do more things! Amazing but true! Am so excited for you and we can go walking together - I love it! X

Morning, well done on the walking, great focus, keep it up.

 

[Dietkitty]

Morning lovely, exciting news here. I obviously had my psychic head on last night. I woke up three times with that feeling that something new was happening but couldn't work out what it was. I had been wracking my brains this morning only to draw a blank until I opened your diary and now it feels like it's all fallen into place!! I know....... weirdo lol xx

Morning Susie, lol love the pants hitching builder. Here's hoping it's a reasonable quote.

It's great you don't have to sell before you buy, a good position to be in. How much notice do you have to give?

We bought our house (a verbal accepted offer is legally binding in Scotland) before we put ours on the market. It took years off my life and gallons of wine to cope with it.

Have a good day. x

Afternoon all - especially Psychic Lisa!

Am firmly in the grip of Atkins flu - completely exhausted, with a muzzy head and really sore throat - and no desire to eat anything. Suppose that's a good thing....

Back to bed. Speak later.

 

[Dietkitty]

Hope you come out the other side quickly xx

 

[stubbsey]

get back to fighting fit soon xxxxxxxxxxxx hugs n tissues!!!

 

[Quak]

Afternoon Susie, hope you get in full flow with K quickly, doesn't sound much fun right now - but very exciting news on the offer!!! xxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks all - am feeling a bit better, chicken soup to the rescue! Still sound like Jack Nicholson though...

One massive benefit of working from home is that I've spent hours googling bathrooms - and I am SO happy, I've found exactly the bath/shower combo I want - Deep soaking tubs, Omni Tub, omnitub, The original deep soaking tub

The large one is perfect and at £560 it's loads cheaper than what I was originally thinking - a wet room/separate bath and so on, which would have cost a fortune in digging up the floor and so on. And the space where the large shower would have gone can now be a utility area

Imagine lovely white bevelled tiles instead of that awful marble - oh, and hopefully sometime in the future I'll have the nice bottom too

Happy days

 

[Dietkitty]

Oh that's awesome and the bathroom is easily big enough for a utility area or towel cupboard. I'm now dreaming of big fluffy bath sheets

 

[ladyfelsham]

Exactly, Lisa! Lots and lots of fluffy white towels

Found the perfect tiles http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod40500/section1321/Chic-Blanco.html and will also have a butlers sink and loo with high level cistern, something like this - Burlington High Level Toilet - White Aluminium Cistern - BUR-WHI-ALU

So that's the bathroom sorted - a good day's work!

Now for the kitchen

 

[Dietkitty]

£600 for a bog?!! ****!!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I know, I won't get that one, it's just an example

Here's the wall oven I want, there's a microwave to match DÅTID OV8 Forced air oven - IKEA

 

[Dietkitty]

Lol. I sooo need an eye level oven. If I crouch down to get anything out of mine I can't get up again! Damned arthritic knees. I'm only young. Honest!!

 

[Scrumbles]

Blimey, you have been busy!

Love that bath/shower, and what on earth is a forced air oven when it's at home? Never heard of it!

(I am probably hopelessly behind the times!)

 

[ladyfelsham]

I just googled - a forced air oven is a true fan oven (not fan assisted) - makes cooking more thorough and quicker.

 

[stubbsey]

love that bath and shower i love having a bath, when we looked at this house the show home was the same style house as mine and i loved the bathroom. when we moved in there wasnt enough room to lay your head back when in the bath it finishes right against the wall, but in the show home there was a ledge beyond the bath to lay your head back, it makes the bath cramped and uncomfortable, i put a bath pillow in but it still doesnt feel right, so mostly i have a shower now sadly...

 

[ladyfelsham]

Mmm I know what you mean Stubbsey, i just have a small shower at the moment, can't wait for a good long soak on a cold winter's night

 

[Alpaca]

I have a 50 yr old roll top which is Devine but needs re-enamelling cos if the water's too hot my bum sticks to the bath! Lol ...
