5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Evening

Frith - Love the grotto, my DD is very jealous.

Pleasures for today,
1. Another day closer to finishing the project I am working on. Think one part is ready to go but the other two will take much more work and patience this week.
2. Some vouchers in the post from Mr.T which will help pay for the last of the presents I need to get plus some money and points offers on things I buy normally.
3. Managed to use less meat and more veg again in dinner tonight, it was yummy and there is enough left for me to have tomorrow for lunch.
4. Went back to bed for an hour this morning once OH and DD left. Should really have been doing the ironing before work but felt sleep was needed more:o
5. £3 luncheon vouchers arrived in the post today from a recent survey. Also got 50 clubcard points for reviewing a product and am expecting another two products to trail one of which is a very expensive electric toothbrush:j

Hugs to all who need them

Hi tina malteser :wave: and skader :wave:
Great grotto, Frith.

Five pleasures for Monday:

1. Drinking hot coffee while sitting in a cold car and getting on with work while waiting for DSs for 90 minutes. Got lots done.

2. I know we will hear endless reports of William and Kate' baby from now on (very tedious imho), but that news made me remember my excitement and feelings about being pregnant with my oldest and that was lovely.:)

3. Pulling some statistics together about the success of our sports club. Seeing it all in figures made it very clear.

4. Getting final ancient duvet/floor covering dried. This one will be used to cover the last bit of stone floor in our front room. It's so much more snug now it's duvet-carpeted in here.

5. Found a really lovely half-price sponge bag as a Christmas present for my neice online. She's not very girly and likes practical things and I hope this will fit the bill.

Sweet dreams

1) Received one of my parcels today, thanks to a nice postman who could hear the shower running when I didn't answer the door, so came back and tried again 20 minutes later to make sure I got my delivery. :T Now I just need to find out where the other parcel has vanished to...

CCP - I reckon he (I am assuming its a "he" ) wanted to cop an eyeful :D

Sparrer glad to hear you made the journey in one piece x

The Pregnancy ....Sorry guys , I'm not a kiddy person but surely pregnancy is a condition and not an illness ??? Seeing reporter standing in the dark outside the hospital in the pitch black at 5.30 am to deliver "news"...back off , give 'em some privacy . We all know now.. leave 'em alone.

Have a good day all !

Hmm - I wonder if all those (here and elsewhere) so dismissive of morning sickness haven't had morning sickness? It is VILE - I had constant nausea but not the relief of throwing up, dizzy and sooo tired - and I have known of others who have been hospitalised for the whole pregnancy. They say it is worse with a girl (as I have had one of each and was definitely worse with the girl, but pretty bl00dy grim with the boy). Anyway, good luck to them. I will show some vague interest when it is born and b!tch about its name probably

Any road up - mooorrrrrninnnnggggg

For yesterday
1. Had to get up and go in early as I was standing in for a colleague. Four hours of teaching went really well and I felt useful
2. Lunch with colleagues - yummy sweet potato and squash soup which I bought, shamefully, as I had my own HM stuff in my office. I will have that today
3. Fish fingers and chips for tea in the new halogen oven.
4. DS got a grade 7 in his maths :T His first ever 7 and is testament to the extra effort he, and we, have put in.
5. Finished "The Killing" - you will all be pleased to hear! What I have learned from watching it (no spoilers, don't worry)
- Danish detectives are a bit pants
- Danish jumpers are spectacular
- Police need to be paid more so that the detectives can wear more than 2 jumpers in 3 weeks
- there doesn't seem to be any lights in Copenhagen, which is a shame because
- it is always night time.
- there is no point in having CCTV as most of the time you can't make out who people are
- that Danish people are extremely intolerant - not least expecting the parents of a girl who was brutally raped and murdered to have got over it in 3 weeks (the timeline of the series - though it was aired over nearly 6 months) and other reasons that i won't say as they are spoilers
- A lot of people might get killed for no apparent reason, except that it keeps the story ticking along but when you analyse it, it makes no sense whatsoever.
- that a story line with more holes than a sieve is extremely addictive
- that it is quite difficult to knit and watch something with sub-titles.

Edit - to add

- it is impossible to say Danish names without using generic Danish / swedish / scandinavian accent - you try "Nanna Birk Larsen" "Troels Hartmann"
- they either eat pizza or "something cold from a pan they find on the side"


Hope that helps! :rotfl:

Pie for tea today - YUM!!

Glad you said it, VJ'smum. 36 weeks of "morning" sickness with smaller son. Weirdly, it only tailed off at that point when he decided he didn't want to be breech after all! (You really don't want an almost full term baby turning round, was very strange!)
