5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

hello, Wednesday evening here!
Another busy day and my achey bones ache more each day!

1.Up early again, I'm setting my alarm for an hour earlier than usual just so I can have a bit of me time, usually on computer, catching up on emails etc.....though this morning I had to pay gas & electricity for here & mortgage for still For Sale house back home! Money in on one hand & straight out on another!

2. Nice quick walk with DD2, she is such a chatterbox! We pass a tree with the most beautiful, tiny leaves which are the most gorgeous autumn colours! Losing more leaves each day!

3. Quick drive to work today, not as much traffic ! Another days wages earned! And earned they were! I was in a bit early & had to start straight away as it was so busy & this continued all shift! I had a crisis of confidence & got a bit upset at one point (pathetically!) & was told they need me more than I need them at the moment! So will be fine tomorrow (I hope!) , I just felt slightly incompetent when I was very competent at what I did back home....but had done that for 4 years compared to having been here for 4 days! Onwards & upwards!

4. Dashed home & dashed back out to get eyebrows waxed ...and they were running 20 minutes late! However, was nice just to sit down & wait & do nothing! Look slightly less hairy beast now!

5. Home, cleaned bathrooms (and whoops....spilled diluted bleach all over bathroom floor....so now smells like a swimming pool!) washing done & hung around the house! Packed lunches made for tomorrow!
Made spicy pumpkin soup for tea & DD2 supplied pudding. She is on a 4 week after school class to 'experience' secondary school (next year) & made apple crumble. DD1 had first bite & pulled a face and husband(also pulling a face!) was a good daddy & ate the lot & announced it to be the best crumble he'd had to day!

Hope you all have a good day!

Evening all,

MHagster - how diplomatic of your DH!

CCP - Sorry you had such a yucky day - tomorrow is another day

Strange old day today - I started at the new London office this morning. I thought that I was going to hae a permanent desk there but it seems that it not to be which is a little strange as they definitely told that I was. The new office is gorgeous and only a 15 minute walk from St Pancras which is where my train comes into.

1) I left the office early as they wanted to film me for a client video - it was only less than a minute of talking but usually I get completely tonguetied when the camera is on me, but this time it went smoothly.

2) The environmental manager was also being filmed so we decided to sto at the pub on the way back to the station which was a nice surprise.

3) Took my books back to the library and picked up "The Secret Life of Bees" which I've heard is quite good.

4) Stopped in at Homeb*se to pick up some potting soil and also bought reduce asparagus and globe artichoke bulbs. Also bought some T-cut following Sparrer's recommendation and look forward to polishing out my little stratches from my car.

5) Pottered around the garden and planted out some seedlings. I am quickly running out of space for seedlings!!!

Night all...

Sleep well

Evening, everyone. What a day! I can't say it has been the best of days, but at least it's nearly over. I shan't go into details, so I'm going to focus on the positives. Here goes:

1. A colleague gave me a lift up to the supermarket, where I bought only what was on my list.
2. I haven't eaten very much (due to stress)
3. Picked some fresh mint leaves from Mum's garden and showed her how to make fresh mint tea.
4. The mint tea was lovely.
5. I'm reading The Bourne Identity and enjoying it.

Have a good evening, everyone. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Evening all :wave:

Sounds like it's been one of those days for everyone so big (((((hugs)))) all round

1) Very quiet day at work
2) NSD
3) Not long till I see family and friends now :j
4) Spoke to the man who mows my lawn and he's going to sort the fence for me next week....the patio will be done by the end of June
5) Neighbours cat popped round when I got back from work for a quick ear scratch on the drive
6) Nipped out to check where the interview is on Friday and is very easy to find
7) Filled the car up (not really a pleasure these days) and it's way cheaper than the old car

Lets hope tomorrow is a better day for you all.

What a pants day for everyone! Let's get the rubbish bits out of the way here first. Cafcass - bleurgh. And am waiting for a phone call from OH as he has taken his son 4 to primary care with possible appendicitis. :-( And have felt very tired, stressed and useless all day. Oh, and just had my brother round as he had been to our parent's neighbour's funeral then he thought about our Grandad's awful funeral and he had a little cry. :-((((((( Then we talked about the MOT and welding and he was OK!

Anyway, 5 for today!

1) OH brought a cup of tea round first thing. :-)

2) Cafcass appointment for the boys. Very interesting... They were interviewed for nearly an hour so I sat in the waiting room. :-( Sounds like they said everything they wanted to say and... they won't be seeing their father's new fiancee again. Relief that it is all over.

3) Went to a Chinese all you can eat buffet afterwards. The boys REALLY liked it! It is perhaps not the highest quality, most exciting food in the world but they were very taken with the 40 different choices. :-D Only £3.50 for children too and they want to go again next week!

4) Had Ikea meatballs and sauce at OH's.

5) OH took 3 or 4 boys to karate and said my smaller son did very well this week. :-)

6) Had brother round and (apart from his getting a bit upset) that was nice and we had a cup of tea in the garden and looked at the new guttering.

Update - OH's son 4 now going from primary care in little hospital to A and E in big hospital. :-(
