5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

newlywed

hi all,

Here's some of mine from the last couple of days...

1. Going through my wardrobe and finding lots of clothes that fit me again now - some haven't been worn for two years!

2. Giving away the clothes that are too big - some to a friend who loved one of my skirts - and the rest to charity.

3. Someone at work saying I was "wasting away" - not quite I'm still classed by BMI as overweight - but I have lost a stone.

4. Buying a shirt for stepson for £2 - thanks charity shop.

5. Borrowing slimming world books from someone at work and also the library and copying out a few recipes I like the sound of.

Evening everyone

I started getting bad stomache pains yesterday evening so not had much sleep and been in pain for most of today as well. but i will still find 5!!!

1. Clean and tidy kitchen before school run

2. Managed an hours nap this morning when the kids were in school

3. Dd's sports day, it didnt rain!!!

4. Dd (5) was practising ds1 (6) spellings because she wanted to! :O and then wanted me to test her. She got 6/14 which i thought was very good for her age.

5. Stomache pain stopped long enough for me to have tea - roast chicken.

Yay Frith to the new cards

VJsmum

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes - hope everyone who is poorly or down feels better soon

1. Hubby still has a job - it wouldn't be the end of the world if he were to be made redundant, but he clearly doesn't want to be, so we live to fight another day.
2. Gave myself the night off and just watched a drama on TV and finished one front of my cardi (i do hope you are all enjoying the knitted cardi updates! )
3. Man servicing the caravan before next week's holiday found a £10 note behind a cushion :T
4, cauliflower cheese for tea with sausages, simple but delicious
5. Friend came back from holiday so i wasn't on my own at work (hate that, i would never want my own office, i go to work to see people - oh and the money of course!)

hello from wet & bloomin' chilly Melbourne! My fingers are frozen!

1.early rise again, had an hour to myself before heading out to work.
2.another good day at work and pay day (always a bonus!), saw lots of happy ducks & tiny winter wrens.
3.went for lunch with the kids after work & we went to our favourite cafe & sat next to the log fire. When I drove home it was sunny (but dark clouds) when we went to go out 5 minutes later it was pouring....heavy icy cold rain! So we needed to dry off & warm up so the fire was just perfect! nice lunch, waitress brought us out an extra bowl of fries , good read of the paper & good company!
4.Was most constrained & just bought milk as that was what I needed! Not like me!
5.Home & snuggled up under my quilt, finished my book & had a wee snooze!
6.Still full from late lunch so don't need a dinner!

Have a good day!

VJsmum pleased your DH still has a job. It's okay to manage without but becomes a worry when the £'s run down and the letters of rejection (or no letters at all!) start to roll in. However, all's well and that a good one for today

Caterina and Carolyntia sadly most things have got too wet and have rotted, loganberies, raspberries, blackberries, garlic, wild garlic, new pear tree, etc etc . I managed to save a few potatoes last night, 6lb from 12 tubs so have to be grateful for small mercies. How's your wild garlic coming on Caterina?

1. Busy yesterday and today which is how I like it
2. Friends from my fellowship here this am, tidying the garden as I type
3. 2 nsd's
4. Using up lunch of salmon and salad
5. Broadband provider sending me a new router free of charge as even their tech says my speed - or rather the b/band speed, but he could be right on both counts - is 'abysmal'

Have a good day everyone
