5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mhagster

hello, just watching a glorious sunset in far off ranges.Sky is all pink & pretty.

1.Good day at work.
2.getting caught up with housework ( not really pleasureable but glad it's out the way! bathrooms cleaned, kitchen tidied , bedrooms hoovered, washing & ironing under control)
3.Getting a few bargains at supermarket . Kids needed top ups for phones & getting 10% discount on these also.
This gives them internet too so we don't need to buy silly dongles that kept cutting out!
4.My mum sending my meter readings from UK home....hardly moved since April, so will hopefully get a decent refund on the Direct Debits I have to pay! I wish the house would sell
5.Making lentil soup for tea with RTC turnips & free ham and then making an apple & pear crumble with RTC fruit & topped with RTC cream!


Our days are stretching out, it's 5.40pm & still daylight. It gets dark at 9pm in the summer here so no more long summer nights to look forward to but it is nice to know that spring is round the corner!

Have a good one!

Frith

One from smaller son to set me up for the day... I've got the plaster off 2 walls ready for the builders next week and keep finding little, probably expensive to fix "surprises". :-(

This to bigger son "M! M! We're going to need a new lentil over the front door!"

:-D

mhagster

Think I've just had it in my soup Frith!

mhagster, any chance you can send Frith a spare soup lentil?

Lovely one Frith. Have an extra special day. I know what you mean about finding surprises in old buildings....multi-multi-multi mummified rat corpses in France.

We cross-posted mhagster, great minds and all that:-)

Morning all

from yesterday

1.niece visited for a cuppa
2.finished mug cozys for teacher
3.cs bargain, bodywarmer for daughter
4. had a wonderful chat with old lady who used to live in scotland 32 years ago telling me about their winters as a child.
5.picked up a cake container/carrier in £1 shop

I look out for those Poundland cake carriers, welshcamper - have a request list on behalf of others. They're excellent, take really big cakes or batches of baking and for price, unbeatable.

There - that's another pleasure just thinking about them!

Kittikins

Oooh, I need to look for a Poundland, really need a couple as I do lots of baking for DD's school events and whilst I'm not the world's best cake decorator, would like the fairy cakes to look slightly less 'rustic' once in a while....lol

Love the lentil comment Frith, aren't kids the best xx

welshcamper

its the first time i have seen them there, thinking about it i should have picked up two, as the ones ive got now are years old and a bit battered and bruised lol

Today I'll be:

1) cycling into town (taking my car sale cash to the bank!)
2) baking bread (again, since the loaf I made yesterday didn't last long)
3) taking the dogs for a walk if the weather stays dry
4) eating a home-made curry for dinner
5) I'll nip into poundland to see if they are doing a special on sugar - I want to stock up since I'll be making jam soon

ampersand

Mr T now matches £land on sugar. I used to do the same, but with a Clubcard+ as well as pricematch, I've reverted.
The cake carriers go like hot...mmm, guess!....and delivery's not regular. I always take 4 or 5 if I can.
