5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mhagster

Hello from a pleasantly cooler Melbourne.

Vjsmum ooooh! Are you going somewhere soon? Enjoy!
Frith hope you get young master Frith's school sorted out soon.

Woke up at 4 am BING! wide awake, so did an ironing and watched an episode of Midwife DVD

Missed a call from work , had no credit to call back so thought I'd just pop in....give car a run and say hello.....managed to escape an hour later, it was crazy! However the problems were solved quickly ( I had said I was available if any problems) and I got to say hello to my ducks, moorhens, pigeons , cockatoos and lorikeets! Everything's so dry,the river was the lowest I have ever seen it.

Went in to next town with girls but we just had a mooch.....bought enough in UK so we all felt a bit shopped out! Bought some fruit and flower in Ald:s and phone top ups and that was all.

Came home and snooooozed! Remember DD1 saying I'm away to work and then OH and DS came in from work....damn you jetlag!

Made meatballs with a Swedish sauce and jelly that my colleague who returned to Sweden before Christmas had given us....a Swedish meal in a bag, complete with recipe . Was rather yummy. Pear Sponge for pudding.

So not done as much today....full of good intentions but sleep deprivation took over!

Have a lovely day x

Morning

Pleasures for yesterday,
1. Bought a couple of 75% off bargains to put away for niece for next christmas. I do like to get my christmas shopping done early:D
2. Popped into waitr0se and bought some boxes of posh bread sticks reduced to 37p each. DD will love these in her packed lunch.
3. Organised before work and prepared most of dinner so just had to grill some fish and stir fry some noodles. This meant we were able to have dinner before going to the hospital.
4. SIL looking much better and should be home in the next couple of days.
5. Bed by 9:30 last night as was really tired, lovely sleep with no waking up in the night:j

Hugs to all who need them

3. Sunny day! Very nice and mild with a blue sky, I thought the weather forecast was for colder weather.:p

4. Trip to the local cheapy shop later to get a few bits.

5. Booked up my dog's injections at the vet and have put the cash needed aside already.:T

3. Used a £2 home hair dye and its turned out lovely!

4. Town with a friend and didnt spend anything except the planned £5 from the food tin.

My OS pleasures today are;

Following some tips given on here and being able to get the shower door and grouting in my bathroom beautifully clean again. The results are brilliant and with minimum effort I have managed to achieve it by using store cupboard essentials so barely any cost too :j

Kittikins

1. NSD

2. At DD's request, I have just rustled up what will hopefully be a very scrumptious lasagne for dinner, gawd bless my full stock cupboard!

3. We managed to get up reasonably well this morning, actually that's a lie, we were great - both ready to go a full 10 minutes before we had to leave, it just felt hard to pull our heads off our pillows.......

4. Last night there were more pleasures - a friend turned up with her children and my freezer surprise dinner magically fed the 5,000, ok 5 of us!

5. They also brought us some more store cupboard goodies

6. AND Christmas presents!! How lucky are we!

Evening all. I sees vjsmam is off to Sri Lanka. Minds me of tea boy we had in the Middle East. Ran tee shirt factory back home. It got bombed twice, but he carried on. Best [STRIKE]crocodile emblazoned[/STRIKE] ones I ever had. One lass at a previous place of work asked why I turned up in them to do mucky work,as they are expensive. I had to larf.

SPARRA. Is yous need a push in the bath chair round the Park and Slide, every other week, I can gather up a pace.

Good evening all !

Skintos - yep- going back to work after the Xmas break sucks ! Although Xmas seems ages ago now .

Caterina - Ditto The Quartet DM has not quite got over Dame Maggie saying F Off though ! :rotfl:

mhagster - I see those terrible fires and think of you , hoping you are ok . I expect you are nowhere near them , but my heart goes out to all those poor folks and critters out there.

5 for today

1. Work ok - one of the most time consuming companies I work with received some really nice feedback today .I must relay this to the manager tomorrow, he deserves it.

2. OH has had trials and tribulations at the dentist all day. Not a pleasure for him. But he seems ok now...and is cooking my tea

3.Internet security re issued for free with OH's bank .

4. DM made some bread rolls - although white rolls are the food of the devil in my opinion ... hot, buttered rolls .....cor food !!!!!! . So had two.

5. Toying with doing a Masters in SW (just for you BoP of course:D) . Who knows ...I go through these phases of "thinking" about it and not actually "doing" anything about it

Have a good evening all !
