5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Missli

Hello, :hello:
I used to try be old style with certain things, but have let slip for a while.

However today:

1. I prepared a huge batch of beef, mushrooms, in red wine in my slow cooker. Enough to last several days, so pleased.
   
2. Cleaned my daughters room, and de-cluttered thoroughly
   
3. Had a lovely long walk in the sunshine. Makes a lovely change to not be raining.
   
4. Had an indulgent snooze after my hard work. A simple, but rare indulgence, as just me this weekend.
   
5. Stripped, and washed all bedlinen, and actually hung some, rather than stick the lot in the dryer.
   
6. Will be baking some bread rolls shortly.

Just about to get washing off line but before i do...
1) washing dried on line due to rain having day off :T
2) walked to tesco car park -the view across the Tay is stunning
3) met up with the gang at tesco to drive over to backsmuir wood where we met with the others to go geocaching. Great fun and totally free cos she who organised it had all the kit as part of her job
4) then non os lunch at pub but really good and it was out of my pocket money so all good
5) went back to wood in afternoon with OH who'd been out for a spin on her bike. We saw a red squirrel and a deer. So lovely day an now i'm tired but in a good way. Didn't do lidl, but tempted to see how longwe can last SM-free!

Evening all.

The crash was pretty scary - once everything's stopped shuddering you start thinking how much worse it could have been. _pale_ I feel really bad for the farmer, too - it's a pretty difficult way of life and losing a dozen cattle in one go must be a genuine nightmare.

1) A nice lie-in this morning and waking up to sun shining through the curtains.

2) Cheese and smoked-ham stuffed croissants for brunch. :drool:

3) Visited a well-known home and garden store and bought a new mini greenhouse (hopefully third time lucky ) and some compost. And a yellow-flowered dahlia. And a tray of sweet peas. And a grow-your-own strawberry kit which came with a gorgeous enamel-effect red planter. I really should stay away from the reduced section.

4) Braved a visit to my local Lidl (love the stuff, hate the shop ) and got some good bargains, including an enormous chunk of pecorino cheese which was on special offer. :money:

5) Got out in the garden for a change and have planted out my HG beans (two varieties) and my newly-acquired sweet peas - there were meant to be 24 in the tray but each section had multiple plants so I've actually got dozens - my garden's going to smell wonderful in a couple of months' time.

6) HM pizza for dinner tonight - my favourite. :drool:

Tealady - best of luck for tonight.

sonny - those gammon steaks / rashers sound delicious. Although I'm looking forward to my pizza I find I now rather fancy bacon instead. :undecided

Have a nice evening, all - I hope everyone's got the same nice sunshine I've got.

Tea lady. Good luck for tonight, hope its not too cold.

Still feeling _pale_ but tried to manage 5

1. Sun shine feels so lovely
2. managed to get three loads of washing dried on line
3. fresh sheets now on bed and I think I will be in it shortly
4. Felt a bit better this evening so had a short walk (lurching like a drunk !!) round local pond
5. Could smell local chippy :drool: ....so called in and brought fish and chips home for tea. nom nom. not OS but delicious and I'm in no fit state to cook

Hello all - I am 2/3 of the way down a bottle of wine, so hope I make sense

1. The absolutely delicious bottle of white wine I have just consumed. It came from Aldi so I am counting it as MSE and you don't get more OS than wine!
2. Trip to the garden centre - spent a lot but it is an investment so I don't mind
3. The house is clean and tidy
4. Had some delicious food today - homemade granary bread with homemade jam, risotto for tea - one of my better ones.
5.Cut out my skirt, but drank too much wine to sew it.

Waiting to see who wins BGT final - all really good this year.

Morning all,

TEALADY - you should have finished by about now. Hope it went ok.

1) Found another house I want to put an offer in on... I have a really good feeling about this one and am taking my SIL to look at it on Monday morning. There is lots of potential to make changes to it but is also perfectly livable in. And I can afford it!!! And its in the right area.

2) Stopped by DB1 and DSIL after the house viewing and had some tea and cuddles wiTh my nephew. He is such a cutie pie!

3) Went to see DB2 and (not D) SIL to drop of presents for my parents who they are are going to visit in a couple of weeks. Cuddles with that nephew too who is also very cute - he is only 4 month old though so not very interesting yet! (Bad auntie!)

4) (not D) SIL baked some lovely raspberry muffins

5) Volunteers in the kitchen at the Moonwalk. The pleasure was that I volunteered though the experience was extremely frustrating. The words p-up and brewery spring to mind. It was ridiculous... I arrived at 5.30 and helped get the volunteers hot drinks arranged... But we weren't allowed to have any until 8pm. But the "staff" were... We had to start cooking the meals from 7pm until 10.30pm and weren't allowed to have breaks so we weren't abloe to get anything until 11pm when the kitchens were sorted... Technically... There was so much hanging about that I did do it. Plus I was starting and they had soup, sandwiches, and other goodies, but though that was all ready well ahead of time we were only allowed that at 10pm. But the "staff" were quite happy to in front of us! And the little bit of power the "staff" had clearly was the only power that the ever had in their lives because they really did lord it over us mere minions.

Anyway, I will remind myself not to volunteer next year because though it is a fantastic event and brilliant cause I refuse to be treated like that!

Rant over

Enjoy the sunshine!

Skint, my sister had the manipulation for vertigo that you are set to have, it worked beautifully, as it does for most. I wish you all the best.
Mhagster, may all continue to go well.
Most of my pleasures yesterday centred around food after the live on £1 a day challenge! I had three Magnum choc n nut logs through the course of the day, a small pack of Black Forest ham at lunch, a whole small pack of blueberries and two salmon steaks!
Also:-
1. My hair has thinned in recent years and I've been taking a Wilkinson's multivitamin supplement for skin, hair and nails for over a month now. I've always had very good skin but now I've noticed that my nails are noticeably stronger. Fingers crossed for my hair.
2. Bought a cork board to hang all my necklaces from. Now have to hang cork board.
3 . Lovely ride on trike who didn't let his chain slip once, windy but not a howling gale, rain in air but didn't get wet.
4. I'd offered some teaching resources I'd put together on my work net discussion board to help others and several had accepted the offer, lovely to feel helpful in this way.
5. I was sent some free samples of a really nice body lotion -found it on offer in Savers for £1.99, I love Savers...
6. Have a massive shoulder of pork from Mr T's to cook for tea. Yum.
7. Debating a shopping trip - no howling gale and pouring rain today either.

Hello, Sunday evening here.
Been a very wet & wild day here, heavy showers .

1.Up early, ironed, cooked and pottered.
2.Took kids into next town had to get a few things for them & dropped them off at cinema, using vouchers.
3.Came home, read & had a wee snooze!
4.Phone call with friend & my sister.
5.Nice tea of HM steak pie , roast pots, then pavlova made from RTC egg whites. I have never in my life bought cartoned egg white, however it was RTC and much cheaper than using eggs. Very yummy anyway!

Have a lovely day x

Sonny agree with you about sunday
Managed a lie in this morning until 8am. Vertigo seems to have settled a bit today and room was not rolling when I turned over in bed during the night

Thanks mcculloch, am hoping Doc will sort it tomorrow as am getting fed up of feeling off balance.

Lovely sunny day here in the South so should be back later with some pleasures.....
