5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mcculloch29

Sorry that you are feeling so carp, Frith, but pleased the pigs have apparently beaten the bracken poisoning.

CCP, thanks for making using public transport one of your pleasures! I now have a disabled persons' bus pass and don't use buses nearly as much as I used to when I had to pay. The walk to/from the bus stop isn't far but it's tough for me.

Just watching the Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge - riding a trike in high winds is a real challenge and that's what they've got, bless them.

Ooops - forgot to add, fitted the shiny new ferrule to my walking stick and decided to put on the matching super shiny bright red handle that I've never used as I ordered it with an ergonomic handle, which is boring black. It looks like a brand new stick at first glance.

Yay, glad the piggies seem to be recovering nicely Frith, hope they continue to do so, and sorry you're feeling ill still I am too, so off to bed in about 10 minutes, hope I can sleep better tonight!

1. First day of unemployment and it was a NSD

2. Picked up the huge and heavy double oven, hob and she threw in a microwave as well from my friend We woman-handled it somehow into my car........phew!

3. Asked a male chum to heave it out of the car and into my house this evening, he just about managed it on his own!

4. Said chum also brought me a bottle of wine to say thank you for picking his son up from school and having him til 5pm, silly boy, I was very happy to do so, D is a cutie

5. Also picked up 3 other children today, I felt like the Pied Piper walking down the hill from school!

6. Have agreed to take responsibility for something I already pretty much do for the PTA, glad to help out that little bit more as its a regular event I love doing

7. Yummy leftovers and rice for dinner, s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d some veggie with a tin of chickpeas and another tin of tomatoes, nomnomnom.

8. Lots of phone calls with my mum sorting out CHristmas presents! So much for only buying 2 presents each this year.....sounds like she's buying up the whole of Amazon today!!

9. Am mock-outraged that the Job Centre haven't contacted me yet about my JSA claim. After all, I did do it at 1am-ish this morning, they've had plenty of time!!

10. Took a load of books to the charity bin, have another load to take tomorrow.

Kittikins hope you are able to enjoy the non work time,

Sorry I’ve been quiet not enough hours in the day at the moment to include getting trains from work to dads hospital.
And we had someone try to fraud us, they tried to place massive online orders for clothes delivered to another address and the catalogues sent us all the paperwork for membership and credit:eek::eek: through needless to say OH was on the phone like a shot, and in fairness they were helpful and will be removing the credit searches from our file. Scarey thou,


1. It’s Friday, 4pm lovely weekend Friday.
2. A free fireworks display literally from the scout camp at the bottom of the garden
3. Made a lovely cottage pie for dinner, I wanted a takeaway but things are tight until the end of month payday

4. Cleaned the bedroom, it’s lovely tidy and clean bedding so that means
5. A lovely hot bath tonight.:p

Broomstick

Hooray for the pigs!
PK thank goodness you spotted the fraud so quickly.
mcculloch29, I love the word ferrule - thank you for adding it to my vocabulary!
(((((Hugs))))) to all that might want some. Frith? DD?

I was so tired last night I forgot to post so here's a random collection of pleasures for two days:

1. Well the river level continues to sink - more hoorays - as, probably, does my blood pressure.

2. I banked the sport's club cheques and got the accounts up to date.

3. I weighed myself (which was definitely not a pleasure) so am back with grim determination on a low carb diet. I've survived day two and don't feel awful so that's a pleasure. I keep looking at Sparrer's success for encouragement.

4. In my paperwork marathon clear out I have discovered an M&S gift card for £10 (an apology from them) that I thought I'd lost forever. That will get one of their eat-for-a-tenner deals for the DSs sometime soon.

5. The basil plant is making the kitchen smell delicious.

Sweet dreams

Did not make it outs, but snogged up to Ms Sonny watching The ghost and Mrs Muir.

Couple of classics one line chat up liners for you gals to flounder.

Perfumed up parlour snake.

Smirking like a cat in a fishmongers.

They are circa 1947, so not any of mine.

Ok so not so good tonight. On the plus side i have loved reading all your +ves
1) remembered to take in sarnie for lunch - salmon and cream cheese
2) good training session (me the trainee) in the morning
3) reverbed a very muddy 2p
4) have a busy w/e planned so wont be being maudlin in the house
5) had nice chat with colleague whose marriage split up after 20 years and she's now engaged and looking very happy
Oh but it hurts so much :-(

Love and hugs DD, thank you for trusting us enough to share your hurt x
Frith get well now ! Pleased the course is behind you, one less thing to have to think of
mcculloch Re ferrules, how do they disappear all the time? When I had the residential home my clients lost them almost monthly! We didn't have a choice of colour in those days though, red sounds like fun. DM has been shunning the idea of a stick but I do worry about her being partially sighted and a little unsteady, she says she doesn't want to look old (she's 91!) perhaps she'd reconsider if I take the laptop on Sunday and show her they've not all dull brown things.
Kittikins honestly, you pay your taxes yet have to wait til these government dept's are ready to reply in their own time. Shame on them!
PK The clean bedroom, sheets and PK sound lovely, what a cosy feeling
Broomstick I go on the weight loss the old style way forum which is all about losing weight without clubs or fad diets. Well done you for making the effort, seems to take an ages to get going but the results are lovely

1. Went shopping with a list and got everything on it, all I bought in Mr M were 5 boxes of Thornton's chocolates at less than half price each. For stocking presents of course, luckily I'm not a chocolate person so I'm not tempted by having them in the house.
2. Made two trays of liver dog biscuits, muttley has done a taste test and fully approves
3. Used the hair dye I got from the £1 shop, my hair hasn't fallen out and it's a beautiful deep red brown, even though it was supposed to be blonde - just kidding
4. Sent off for my bus pass, and blue badge renewal so I can stay mobile. Thank you local govt dept.
5.Watched Attenborough's Ark, David Attenborough choosing his top ten animals to take with him. He was amazing, as always

Sleep tight S

My thoughts in words re DD, Sparrer, thank you.

I've never lost a ferrule, but I've had a couple of near misses when they got caught in swing doors. I've also worn a cheap one out within days.

I finally got a stick when it became very hard to move without one. I'd bought a plain black one but disliked using it - I then decided to get the nicest one I could find in red, I wear quite a lot of red, and the trike is red too.
So even though I have to use a stick, and that is not something I planned for my fifties - my seventies, perhaps - the stick itself is a thing of beauty, as far as it can be.

My stick is the one on this link, I got it direct from the company rather than Am*zon, but Am*zon is cheaper. The replacement ferrule came from the company.

My last two hair dyes (mid brown) have been pound shop or Wilk*'s £1.09 jobs, after disasters with new style foam dyes. Cheap dyes are great.

I must get my blue badge sorted, I've been entitled for years and my son is dying to park where he normally isn't allowed to!

I missed the first bit of Attenborough's Ark for HIGNFY instead, so it's iPlayer for that. The second bit was fascinating.
