missmoneysave

Five from me for today;

1. Delicious pulled pork for tea, first time I've made it and it was a little sweet but that will be remedied for next time.

2. Haircut today, much needed.

3. Laughing with my mum for no good reason, just being silly

4. Charity shop rummage with mum, nothing for me but a gorgeous wallis top for mum for £1, looks brand new!

5. OH at training (he cage fights for fun :eek:) so I've had a bath and now I'm having a glass of shandy and enjoying having the television all to myself

Oh DD if we could do Bibe Study on this thread, here would we start.

Downloaded some programmes to oiPad from BBC. Abused the & method. Did Dan Snow and the ... What a f load of bullucks. Got fifteen minutes in. For f sake it was Richard Trevithick who put the steam horse on rails for novelty. Absolute boulder dash from the BBC. If the BBC cannot make a programme bout magnets and filings without dumbing down to the sewer, I am glad that my refund on the TV Tax is being liquidated into something more palatable.

Oh, only popped back cos inn I is staying at is doing special offers for valentino day. Thought the tractor wood be interested.

VJ's Mum, thanks for that - I spent all of the Richard III programme convincing myself it probably wasn't Simon Farnaby (or Death from Horrible Histories.). The R 3 programme was rather good despite the female enthusiast, who not only heard and marched to a different drum, but to an entire Gamelan orchestra playing off key....

Having an awfully sh!!tty 48 hours. Families eh?

I seriously cant think of a single pleasure.

I am watching the exorcist...need to do something to take my mind of these things....but that isn't exactly a pleasure!

Am off to catch up with everyones pleasures....perhaps yours will prompt me to think of some for myself

missmoneysave lovely to see your cheery post, sounds like you had a great time with your mum

My DS martial arts club holds cage fights too, I dont get it so thought it must be a "man" thing but I'm told women do it too :eek:

OT - plans sound v exciting

For today

1. Found hole in blouse just before leaving for work, changed to another and have managed to hand stitch hole fairly good repair cant be seen

2. cakes at work, yet another birthday. Diet has gone out the window

3. managed to book day off work for interview. I only have 35 minutes annual leave left :eek: but will have to make the rest up as flexi

4. nice tea.... chicken wedges and salad

5. Day off tomorrow :j

BoP dont worry I will wear something neutral to interview as you suggest... lady gaga meat dress may be a bit inappropriate amongst the cats and dogs :rotfl:

That sounds grim, Katholicos. :-( Hope you are OK.

Very sociable day for me today, which is rare! Here are my pleasures.

1) Not a bad sleep, albeit not enough of it. Smaller son just has to get up too early for school.

2) Both sons very jolly today.

3) Saw the psych nurse and survived. Apparently, I am much better than I was when she started seeing me (last August). I find it hard to tell!

4) Had my eyebrows threaded. They look better although I prefer the right to the left now!

5) Met my friend for a quick cup of tea and we ended up chatting for well over 2 hours!

6) Took sons to the barbers and they almost have sensible hair.

7) Made shepherds pie for tea which was tasty.

8) Just got off the phone from a friend I shared a flat with at Uni. Haven't spoken to her for a couple of years so another chat that ran into hours!

9) Its freezing here and have run out of firewood. Brother will be over for tea and swimming tomorrow and is going to bring the little circular saw and chop up the old window frames for me. But for now, I shall go to bed with 2 x hwb and find something to listen to on iplayer.

and 10) Just remembered my mum popped in while I was out this afternoon as she had got too much stuff to go in her freezer. So now in my freezer I have some vegetables, 2 packs of minced beef and.... how to put this delicately.... some pork and sausages of very local origin....

Waves hello from very , very hot Australia
Had Internet problems so posting this from my phone so will be brief:

Watched casualty in air conned library when it was 38o yesterday ,

Work has been okay, bit under pressure at times as one of main colleagues is off sick. The pleasure is he is staying at home with his germs.OH has no immunity at the moment and I don't want to bring any lurgy home from work.

Getting breaks at work.... This was one of my gripes last year, I've been taking fruit in with me and enjoying reading a book and people watching.

Have made some nice food this week but in this heat it's a struggle!

That's about me, feeling a bit low and worried about OH at the moment, he's taking a while to get better from Scottish germs:(
Have been enjoying reading your pleasures though

Morning

Katholicos - (((Hugs))) and hope things improve quickly
Mhagster - hope OH recovers soon
DD- hugs, unfortunelty we can't just turn our feelings off overnight so remember to give yourself time to get over things.

Pleasures for yesterday,
1. Packed breakfasts and lunches for everyone, I had more of the yummy HM carrot soup. As carrots are still on offer will make another pan for next week.
2. Cupcakes ordered for OH's birthday were fab. They were Cookie Monster . Price was very reasonable and local lady made them so very happy and they tasted yum. Little girl on next table to us at dinner whose Birthday is was wanted OH's birthday cakes instead of her shop bought one.
3. Nice family meal out with the inlaws to celebrate OH's birthday and thanks to a voucher meal for 6 of us cost less than £35 :money:
4. Inlaws very happy when I gave them some tickets for Ideal Home Show.
5. Received some very nice belated christmas presents from SIL. She was ill over christmas so had done no shopping and even though we said not to bother she had bought things anyway which have got to say were very nice.

Hugs to all who need them
