5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

[Deleted User]

Bookmarks and drizzle-cake making and crochet - exactly the sort of things I love to do too. Must have been a very satisfying day.

Thanks Jollymummy and Ollie. but just wait till I finish my current one! I am hoping it will be the best one so far!!!!

Anyway, if I can stop sneezing long enough to type them, todays 5 -

1 Toddler group this morning. The other volunteer was off sick and the group support worker had to be at another group so I ran it alone. Was brilliant fun. I just got out loads of paint and glitter!! I have rather nice spodges of green, purple and orange on me now!!! :rotfl:

2 Under 5's cooking this afternoon. Dd made gingerbread biscuits. It was in the school and I didnt have to clear up any of the mess made!! :j

3 Family seal after school. The kids did colouring, listened to stories and ate cake! And I got to sit down for 2 minutes.

4 Defrosted some bolognaise so a quick easy tea and Dd had 3 (yes 3) spoonfuls of it!! Result - she normally wont eat any!

5 Went to shop and only bought milk and sugar that I needed!!! :T

Got to rush, ds has got his reading book again!

My five lovelies today were:
1. Making rich biscuits for the biscuit tin. Someone here gave me the recipe but I can't find them now, so very grateful. I hate buying biscuits from the supermarket because the organic ones are pricey and not terribly tasty either.:p
2. Found some wool to finish my knitted snuggle-bunny for someone's birthday.
3. Ordered The Complete Tight-wad Gazette from Amazon! Very excited about getting a new book. I've persuaded myself that the outlay will pay dividends in helping me in my OS lifestyle. In true MSE tradition, I shall be passing this book on to my daughter, who suffers from the 'money-runs':rotfl: Ooh - have I just made up a new clever-clogs catch-phrase?
4.Oh, forgot to mention that I used my left-over biscuit-dough to make a squashed-fly (currants - I'm NOT THAT money-saving!:eek:) eccles biscuit thingy. Hubby thought it was marvellous. I always try my experiments on hubby first:D
5.I'm getting a free electric-monitor from British Gas because I'm going on to 'smart-energy' where you submit your own meter readings monthly on-line and stuff

Well it's a real struggle today, but I'll try

1) Got stabbed in the leg with an umbrella by a pupil, at least she'll be excluded & so I will have a few days without her swearing at me.
2) DD1 phoned for a chat.
3) Didn't have to cook tonight, there was enough leftovers from last night.
4) Started a new crochet blanket, this one is shades of green & yellow.
5) It's nearly the weekend.
Phew, made it.

1. Picked up some books for DD from a freecycler at lunchtime, just need to get the smoke smell out of them, any ideas?

2. Lost 3lb The skirt I'm wearing today is getting very loose.

3. 2 colleagues came in today bringing their gorgeous babies for us to cuddle, I felt very broody for a while.

4. DD joined me on the sofa bed about 2am last night and was very cuddly. She's already in my bed tonight...hmm...bit of a pattern coming here!

Evening All,

Hope you are all well.

I'm really tired tonight - had a 12 hour day at work that just flew by. So early night for me!!

1) My boss telling that when she goes on maternity in 2 months, I will no longer be reporting into someone of her level, I will be reporting straight into the director. PHEW!!! I was really worried about who my next line manager was going to be. there were 3 options, one of which I had a dalliance with (though no one know that and it was before he was promoted); one of which is a complete !!!! and make his team miserable, and the third is a lovely lady however I didn't want to report into her. So I'm really pleased... I am just waiting for it to be officially confirmed.

2) Having leftovers for supper so no need to even think when I got home.

3) Looking forward to seeing a friend tomorrow evening for her 30th birthday party.

4) Early night *yawn*

5) Getting given two tickets to the movies as a freebee from work. I never go to the movies as it is so rediculously expensive. So I'm looking forward to finding something I really want to see. Maybe The Lovely Bones?

Sleep well everyone.

Had a lovely day

1. Step Gs came for a few days and has been so sweet, got him to eat banana panckes, major triumph!

2. Ds called in, always makes my day.

3. Arranging Dd's baby shower - budget event - and its all coming together with help from MSE'ers.

4. Dd's friend brought tiny new daughter to see us, so had a cuddle - joy, can't wait till its my new grandson!

5. Made a list of shopping - includes chicken feed cos I get my ex battery hens next week and Im so excited!

6. extra one today, saw a juvenile woodpecker feeding in our garden.

All in all feeling good and excited about the next few months after a dreadful year last year. Am beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel after retiring to look after Dh. Dont think I would have time to work, looking after Dh, growing my own, chickens and new grandson. Rather like my new life ( am crossing fingers behind my back just in case )

Evening all
Here are mine for today.
1. Had a lovely 5 minutes listening to DS (4) read his school book to me using phonics. I'm so proud of him I could have cried - bless.
2. My friend came with late birthday pressie and Christmas pressie. I was so grateful, she had made me a lovely draught excluded shaped like a sausage dog. Her lovely Dad has made me a wooden stool made from oak carved with a Yorkshire rose, how kind is that, I feel overcome - very emotional today, aren't I
3. glad it's nearly the weekend.
4. did a bit more sewing this evening and watched some TV.
5. Had a nice phone call from my Big sister who wanted to thank DS for his homemade thank you card for his Christmas pressies
6. DS had a good day today and was only a bit naughty !!!
