5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

CCP

Evening all.

Sorry for the lack of posts from me recently - I've had a busy week and, when I had an evening at home yesterday, decided I couldn't face looking at a computer screen and left it switched off all evening.

1) Lie-in this morning as I decided not to go my OU tutorial in Southampton, having been warned that there would be no parking available.

2) NSD and NPD.

3) Spent a fairly large chunk of the day being lazy, sitting in a patch of sunshine and finishing off the last book in The Hunger Games trilogy, which I got for nothing thanks to some survey vouchers. :money: They're very good, but much sadder than I thought they would be - not ones to read if you're feeling miserable, I think.

4) Took advantage of the nice weather to get some more seeds planted - a dozen different varieties of flowers this time. I really hope I can sell off the excess plants as I wouldn't have room for everything I've grown even if my garden was twice the size. :eek:

5) Macaroni cheese / pasta bake for dinner tonight, inspired by a post someone made somewhere on the OS forum a few days ago. (Was it on here? Or on the "what's for dinner?" thread? I really can't remember now. )

Have a nice evening, all, and I really hope your brother's OK, Frith.

Evening all,

I have a bit of a headache. think I am probably a little dehydrated so should be drinking water and not the wine I am about to open!

1) Lovely lazy and relaxed day though I have had a tidy up and sorted out some of my paper work.

2) Did some weeding in the sunshine

3) Did two large washes with my 2 duvet covers being dried on the washing line.

4) Work up after a funny work related dream and realised that my move to single duvet sleeping now the weather is a little warmer

5) Baked a loaf of bread in the BM - and enjoyed piping hot bread and cheese sandwich

5) Went to MrS and did quite a big shop in preparation for my oldest DB and SIL coming for lunch tomorrow with my gorgeous nephew. The pleasure is that I got over 5 quid off.

Night all

hello
1 enjoying the fog - it's just really exciting when the sun finally burns through.
2 went to see tin tin - with 10% of cineworld online no booking fee cost us £3.60 for all 4 of us. bargain.
3 spent the afternoon sorting and labelling the playmobil and hiding it.
4 also cleared small boys room - his use of the word "important" is not the same as mine when he describes some of his stuff.
5 gift wrapped my last 2 batches of soap. They do look cute all wrapped in wall paper and bits of lace.
