5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Dee - what can I say but sorry to hear about your news. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts.

Dee5565 - sorry to hear about your bad news. I hope the tests go smoothly and they can find the best medication for you.


Finally cracked and texted MrN. Just came home to find the stuff I had left at his house (just plates etc) dumped in my porch. He's out on a jolly with his lovely wife.

Very MSE though - said thank you for the crockery and reminded him that he owes me £125...

Really quite upset now.

Will do 5 pleasures later.

Evening all.

Frith and Dee - the hugest of hugs to you both.

mhagster - that scone sounds delish! I haven't made savoury scones in ages but I might have to have a go at recreating the one you had - thanks very much the inspiration. :T

Kittikins - I'm glad you've got something to help with your leg, although it's a real shame you can't drink while you're taking them.

1) A nice lie-in this morning.

2) Found the top I need for a fancy dress party I'm going to next weekend for £3.99 in a charity shop. :money: Now I just need to find the trousers to go with it... :think:

3) Got a new saute pan which was reduced to less than £20 in a sale - mine's in a sorry state and I've been looking for a suitably-priced replacement for months.

4) Made my first attempt at making spelt bread, something I love but can't justify buying very often. (The last time I bought it it was £3.50 for a single loaf. :eek:). Unfortunately, my HM one is shaping up to be a new entry on the OS disasters thread, but at least I've got enough flour left to give it another go!

5) My first HG peas are appearing on the plant. :j I've never been successful at growing peas before, and this was a free plant so it's very :money:.

Have a pleasant evening, all.

Hello Ladies,

I have had a decidedly relaxing, but productve day today... despite being woken at 5am by my little darling throwing up on the carpet. Why do furballs always emerge at 5am?

1) Am getting through a shamefully large pile of washing up - it will all be done by the time I go to bed tonight

2) Washing dried fairly quickly in the wind and sun. I managed to get it off the line and indoors just as the rain started.

3) NSD & NPD

4) Sorted out some paper work that I have been meaning to go through for a couple of months

5) Made a batch of scones for brekkie... yum

6) Dinner was yummy roast beef from the freezer, rice from the fridge and veggies from the garden... so all in all very easy

7) I picked a courgette for supper which weighed over 1kg!!!!

8) Watching 2 of my favourite shows on TV - Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother

9) Picked some sweetpeas from the garden

Have a great evening and enjoy your Sunday

Dee, the best thing you can do is to think positive. Positive thinking - it sounds like a load of old tosh but through some of my worst problems I kept thinking that I would get through this. I also recall a consultant who said that the power of mind over matter was something not to be under estimated.

You don't need to walk into a church to pray, you can do it anywhere and as long as you are sincere and ask and pray for help every day you will receive it. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Miracles do happen; I know sometimes we feel that they don't but if you are sincere, and I believe that you truly are, then keep praying and keep asking for help and also ask for help for your OH to give him the strength to get through this. Set aside a quite time each day and ask for protection, strength and healing concentrating on your situation and health problem as you do it - see what happens but don't give up at the first hurdle!
