5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

CCP

Evening all.

TILAMS - that curry sounds :drool:. I've just done my meal plan for next week and I'm now wishing curry was on it.

Skint - happy birthday for yesterday!

wbqms - your meals always sound so nice, and look nice too over on the "What's for dinner?" thread. I love bacon and leek / onion rolled up in suet pastry and baked, so the pastry goes golden on the top. :drool: It's really a winter meal, but given the weather it's probably not that inappropriate. :think:

Tealady - :T:T:T to your DD - what a fantastic result!

I've had a much better - and nicely MSE day - today:

1) Although I've still got a headache it's much better than it was yesterday - I think the wine last night actually helped. :beer:

2) Got a PM to tell me I'm on the shortlist for the latest MSE book giveaway. :j I hope I get one as learning Polish would fill the gap before the start of my next OU course nicely.

3) Followed a tip on the MSE newsletter and bought some D%iryle% on a 'try me free' offer. The only thing better than cream cheese on toast has got to be free cream cheese on toast! :money:

4) Followed another MSE newsletter tip and signed up for a 'bite' card, which gets you money off the extortionate prices at station cafes. :money:

5) Went to buy a jar of my usual moisturiser as I've got a gift voucher, and found when I got to the till that it's on special offer at the moment. I'll go back tomorrow and stock up on a few more jars. :money:

6) Sent an email to L%kel%nd about one of their products and got a very helpful response within a couple of hours. I know that's normal for that company, but it's still nice to see. :T

7) Toad in the hole for dinner tonight. :drool: It's been in the freezer but I think it will crisp up nicely after a spell in the oven.

8) (Whisper it) - the sun's come out.

Have a nice evening, all.

1. Had a lovely sleep
2. Two loads of done and dried before the rain came

3. Had a clear out of paperwork and shredding session

5. Cleared bedroom, moved out old sofa gathering dust and multitude of clothes piled on top, got old bookcase out of loft and washed down, now in bedroom full of books that were gathering dust on floor.

skint - happy belated birthday! Hope you had a lovely day (and sorry I couldn't post sooner)
chicken (((hugs))) re your No.5

Whew, what a day! Am still hyper busy at work, but took time off at lunchtime for something to eat. I'm just happy that there are only a couple more days until the weekend. Here goes with some pleasures for today:

1. Watched Die Hard With a Vengeance last night - always good for a laugh.
2. Saw Mrs green woodpecker on the lawn.
3. Had a good chat with my sister.
4. Had a lovely shower, followed by a good scrub with a crispy towel. Mmm.
5. My sister gave me a load of strawberries from their plant in the garden. I just realised though I've left them in my bag! Hope they're ok! Have visions of a handbag smoothie!

Have a lovely evening, all

1. Back at work and the issue that arose last week wasn't my fault
2. DD cooked tea
3. Dad getting stuff in place for another release next week
4. Listening to radio and watching TV with DD
5. Did knitting whilst listening

Still not feeling too bright. Am going to try sleeping with no Nytol tonight as I think it might be leaving me worse than the jet lag

Woo hoo a real 5 i have just sewn up my trousers. I hate sewing but they had frayed at the ends cos they were very long so i cut off the turn up, rolled and pinned and sewed them up.:money: All neat :~) well neatish... The real impetus was the alternative was buying a new pair. I hate clothes shopping even more than sewing :rotfl:

A good, if somewhat soggy, evening all

Ha ha Chicken you can call me what you like as long as it's not late for breakfast - not there's any chance of that while Bert is in residence. Re the Fonda, just wish I had her looks and height

Or as they say in the country TILAMS, I was up at sparrowf@rt

Tealady belated congratulations to your DD, clever girl

1. Up at 6.10am, got the bathroom cleaned before I went out

2. NSD but not for the want of trying, I stopped at Mr S to get some headphones but had left my purse at home :doh:

3. A friend came in for a cuppa this afternoon, has offered to put up posters/get sponsorship for my DD's charity run when the time comes

4. DD told me about broken rice, bought in bulk from an Asian shop, which makes perfect sticky rice and is much cheaper than whole grain. I'll be buying some when I take my shopping allowance out next week

5. Met up with a friend this evening, I haven't seen her for three years so we had lots to talk about. Am arranging to have lunch with her in the next week or so

Sweet dreams
