1 Bank Holiday, so nothing to do, just feet up all day.
2 More tea and biscuits
3 Just seen thread on spinach, so hungry for a spinach ommlette, but butcher is shut on Monday, got to wait.
4 Bank holidays, when I want to reset my taste buds on a spinach ommlette.
5 Fresh fruit salad day, with ices, lemon sorbet.

Oh and back to work tomorrow. Bet my return to work interview should be interesting. Last time I left in ambulance and had pacemaker fitted. Been off marmite ever since, got vitamin B12 deficiency.

Something lovely to share with you. My job is as an e-tutor in Maths, (which is why I'm always on the Net). I teach employees of one of the world's major companies. Some of the learners are apprentices for the company and have the support of trainers on site. The trainers vary tremendously in their competence.
Recently I've had the support of one trainer who is absolutely fantastic. His boss wanted to nominate him for an award, and asked me to write a piece in support of him, describing the support he'd given me which I duly did.
Following this, he's been awarded Employee of the Quarter for the entire Southern Region and also given a national award. He has also been offered a job in training with the company when he completes his post-graduate teaching certificate (PGCE) next year.
Added to which he's also carrying the Olympic Torch through Newmarket in recognition of his outstanding voluntary work elsewhere (for Young Carers).
I am so pleased for him, so proud to know him and to be associated with his success.
I just emailed my bosses to let them know as well, they will be delighted as it is also recognition for our education programme.

well done on his success Mcculloch, it's nice when nice things happen to people and he sounds like he thoroughly deserves it!

day 18 of being a hospital visitor

No discharge home today , may require more surgery however, speaking with doctors tonight (when I wasn't crying ) I asked if he can have a home pass, so that's been arranged for tomorrow. So he'll come to us rather than us going there. I know this will be utterly exhausting but I do think it will do him some good to get out of that ward! Even for a few hours.

1.Busy day at busyville!
2.Sat in gardens at break and watched parrots on the grass.
3.Got a lift to & from hospital.
4. My son helped me make my bed, put my heavy winter quilt on as it's chilly through the night.

Four's not bad for how I feel !
Enjoy your bank holiday Monday x

Good luck on your return to work sonny

mhagster so sorry to hear OH not well enough to be discharged and may need more surgery. Thinking of you all and hope OH enjoys his visit home

My 5 for today

1. Not at work
2. Took oven apart, checked which element needed and have ordered a new one online £24.99 inc VAT and delivery and should be able to fit it myself (even with my very limited knowledge )following online "how to" saving myself loads a dosh on an electrician/fitter.
3. The sun has got his hat on...hip hip hip hooray :T
It was raining this morning but in last hour the sun has come out so have put washing out and am going to go for a walk

4. Baked carrot and apple muffins and was halfway through when realised I didnt have any eggs :eek: so just loosened mixture with some milk and put in oven with fingers crossed .....and they have come out ok. Not as light and fluffy as muffins, but not as hard as rock cakes. Am sat enjoying one (or two ) with a cuppa watching snooker.
Just seen a profile on Ray Reardon (dracula) looks really different without his trademark slicked back black hair but I suppose he is 80 this year
5. Looking forward to roast pork with apple and herb crust for tea nom nom
Hope you all had a happy and peaceful bank holiday

mcculloch - what a lovely story x Also re Frankel the wonder colt - when I first saw him race I was so impressed that I wrote his name on OH's desk in black marker pen so that he wouldn't forget it- as if ?? the filly H. Q. appears to be very much like him and "colty " too.

Evening all,

Nice lazy day

1) Reverbed 2p when I was tapping my foot waiting for a MrA man to find a digital decoder for me... It took him at least 5minutes (more like 10) for him to bring me the wrong one.

2) Popped into the local town and all the things I went to buy were not available so only spent £1 on parking and £1 on a CS book. Normally I don't pay for parking but am not sure about the rules on BH's

3) Yummy HM fishcakes and salad for both lunch and supper. I will have the last of the lasagne tomorrow evening.

4) My dear friend L has been a bit miserable of late and cheered up when I explained the concept of 5 pleasures

5) Big bowl of berries, yog and honey for pud. YUM!

Night night. I have a bit of a headache so am retiring to bed with my new book.

Mhagster - Hugs to you and hope your OH enjoys his home visit

Pleasures for the last couple of days:
1. Was supposed to be going to the Foodies Festival at Hampton Court on Saturday with DD and MIL but traffic was horrendous so gave up and went for lunch and a browsw around the shops in Kingston instead. MIL really enjoyed herself which is good as she has been a bit stressed lately.
2. DD got a very expensive photo frame that was originally £40 for £4, it was reduced to £24 then had a £20 voucher thanks to MSE. No way would I have paid £24 never mind £40:money:
3. DD also saw a shabby chic notice board that she liked (one covered in material and ribbons to hold things in place) but she refused to pay the £10 they wanted for it. By Sunday morning she had made one from bits we had in the house. The best bit was for the ribbon she used the ribbon off the new lillets packets of sanitary towels :rotfl:
4. Tasty dinner yesterday of American Dinner Style food that DD wanted so HM bbq chicken in a bun with fries topped with cheese and bacon. So not healthy but fine for a treat
5. Read more free books on the kindle
6. Short walk on Sunday just 6 miles, getting ready for Saturday night when I do the 26.2 :eek:
7. OH has started decorating my bra. How wrong does that sound . He looked quite funny last night painting a bra with fabric paint
8. Seeing a glimpse of my hometown on the TV this morning, made me smile

Hugs to all who need them

mhagster

chicken happy birthday to you!
