5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Jariya

Well done for the Sunwalk Ladyhawk!

So sorry for your loss Keith..lose the feeling wretched for whatever reason that is and forgive it. You will only waste your energy. I doubt your friend would wish that.

I have some for my weekend:

1. I spent a day thinking about - well just about everything in my life yesterday and have come to some decisions - a good thing.

2. I found this forum and have spent quite a bit of time reading mostly so far

3. I have been on the perfume thread - but I'll wait and see if tat is a good thing! Haha!

4. Pasta and sausage casserole for dinner soon....homemade and I can't wait!

5. Back to forum things and this site - seems to me there's an awful lot of helpful people on here - it's lovely to see when people really need help. Very refreshing! :0)

1. Feeling so much better, I didnt need any medication today! :T

2. A lie in (hopefully my last one as I am planning on getting up for 6.30am dog walk tomorrow for the first time in 2 weeks :eek:)

3. Finished my cleaning daily, weekly & monthly rota (sad i know but otherwise i just clean the same thing over and over again) and cleaned out 1 cupboard and my pull out larder cupboard today.

4. Got £2.47 voucher from asda 10% cheaper guarantee, neighbour gave me £5 off tesco shop voucher from paper that he didnt want and he also gave hubby 8 cans of stella cidre as a thank you for taking him to hospital this morning.

Evening

Ladyhawk second the ouch ouch ouch, have a huge blister on each foot. In all the miles walking I have done this is the first time had blisters
CCP - Hugs to you, hope you are not feeling too shaken
Keith - Welcome to the thread

Pleasures for today:
1. Finishing the Sunwalk in 3hrs, I was aiming for 3.5hrs so very pleased with this
2. Some lovely ladies letting me walk with them and making me laugh. They really kept me going hence the 3hrs
3. Walking down the mall with the changing of the guards and watching the look of confusion on the tourists faces as lots of women in bras marched past them
4. OH and DD supporting me by popping up at various points on the route
5. Snooze at home this afternoon
6. Yummy chilli chicken and cashew nut rice for dinner

Well I must get my self in gear now as still haven't packed my case for going away tomorrow morning.

Just wanted to welcome Keith[behind ears scratch for Trevor], commiserate with CCP[one Hellish fright and one very lucky little girl] and congratulate the sunwalkers[thankyou for sparing some sun for most of day here, ladyhawk and tealady.]

1. About to head into tent, trial night - it's warm and snug, with indoor things added for pleasure, like DAB radio and reading light. Intend taking Thermos and chocolate, too....all of 5 metres from back door :-)
2. Frittered rest of day in cricket listening, reading, sunning and have no guilt. That's a real change.
3. Also poured self a glass of good red with lunch. No idea why. I never drink alone. It went down well.
4. Idled over The Grauniad and happily.
5. Found I could see Tour de France on putah - still don't have tv sorted out since March changeover. None of the prescribed solutions and subsequent remedy attempts/advice work.
#########
Only 5 for this '5'...must be a first.
Find myself wondering about marmite and blimus, mineallmine, too - hope you are all coping well with Life, should you read this.
Blessings to all.

Hi all, struggling a bit to stay OS now that I work 6 days a week, but have been getting back into the swing of things in the last week or so. I've been really grateful for all my frozen HM "ready meals" but stocks are running low now! Stilll making HM lunch most days, but do have an occasional treat from Tesco or tinned soup.

Today I have:

1. put on a wash using the quickwash setting, and it'll be put on the airer to dry
2. made a big batch of bolognese sauce using reduced veg & mince, I'll magically transform some of it into Lasagne tomorrow, then freeze it all down into individual portions
3. not strictly OS, but I've bought a usb bluetooth adapter and mini memory card so I can put all my music onto my phone to save me having to take my mp3 player on the train to work.
4. changed the bedding
5. cleaned the microwave and the bin
6. will make my lunch for tomorrow later on

Evening all :wave:

Welcome to all the newbies
Nuttybabe - Glad to hear you're getting lots better
Ladyhawk & Tealady - Well done on the walk
CCP - (((HUGS))) hope you've calmed down now
Keith - Sorry to hear about your friend. (to echo Ladyhawk) - a female cat called Trevor???

Sorry I haven't been posting...but I have been reading...few to catch up on

1) Free breakfast roll on Friday - must be nearly my turn to pay
2) Free fruit from work
3) Managing to get all my work clothes washed and lined dried on Friday - got it in with moments to spare just before a heavy shower
4) Sheets and towels washed and lined dried on Saturday
5) Two lovely bunches of roses reduced to 25p each on Saturday
6) £2.60 win on the Euromillions
7) House all clean and tidy
8) Clearing out my wardrobe and drawers and taking two bags to the charity bins
9) My Sun Perks £5 voucher turning up
10) Sticking to my healthy eating plan - lost 2lb
11) A year since I moved 500 miles north to the wilds of Aberdeen :eek:

As there's a possibility of a move in the future I decided to have a little clear out - not much as a ruthless one was done a year ago when I moved here. I'm also planning to eat out of the freezer until a decision has been made and just stock up on fresh bits

Hope you all had a good day. Hugs to those that need them

Good evening everyone ,
Need to say , well done to Ladyhawk :T:T My sister had breast cancer at age 31. Her partner at the time said a few days before her operation , that he didn't think he could live wth her/ fancy her if she had a scar on her breast! He walked out and left her the day before the operation and left her eight year old daughter on her own with their one year old daughter, without a word.:mad: .She is fine now and has a fabulous fella who adores her.

My five for today :-

1. Reading a book on Downshifting ,which just reinforces my current thoughts about my work/life balance.

2.More washing dried on the line- I love clean "scratchy" towels.

3. Made a biriyani which blew OH's socks (or crocs) off as it was too spicy for his palate.

4. A visit from my brother and sister in law

5. Produce from the garden in plentiful supply.

6. Hens dust bathing and going in to a sort of trance as they love it so much. They covered me and my book in mud too.


Goodnight all

Keith - sorry to hear about your loss. And I have a lady cat too - called Joey!
Gratefulforhelp - well, yes, that's about right!
CCP - glad to hear the girl was not badly hurt and I hope you feel OK now.
Ampersand - we'll be camping at my brother's soon!

5 or so for today (Sunday).

1) Bit of a lie in.

2) "Wig hair" (worse than hat hair!) that I've been trying to deal with all day following yesterday's fancy dress party. Can't wait for a bath and a hairwash once the boys are asleep properly.

3) Good tidy and cleaned the stairs and kitchen floor. It'll only get worse come Tuesday when the builders start but it looks OK for now.

4) Did 2 loads of washing and dried them on the line.

5) Nice text from Guardian man who is on holiday at the moment with his sons.

6) Enjoyed watching Top Gear with sons.
