5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

mhagster

No waxing lyrical post tonight....cold and pouring with rain is as good as it gets!

Work was quiet so was sent home 2 hours early....which was okay but I can't afford to lose money everyday!

Had the most amazing scrambled egg for my breakfast.....who knew it could taste so good?

Just had a nice chat with friend from Sydney.

Snooze on sofa this afternoon.

Bought a friend her favourite chocolate bar...it was on special offer, will take them home to UK.

Have a lovely day

My five for yesterday/today;

1. Baked cinnamon oat cookies, a batch of pancakes for the freezer and made last nights tea-all at the same time-mega multitasking!

2. Granary loaf toast with MIL homemade plum jam, delicious start to the day.

3. Woke up feeling refreshed despite having a nightmare and waking up to OH pinning me down whilst I was kicking the living daylights out of him-no idea what I was dreaming about.

4. Off out this evening for free cocktails and goody bags with friends :money:

5. Picking up the bargain Batman onesie I've bought OH for Xmas. It's £9 well spent if just for the giggles we will get :rotfl:

On reading the mms post, I am think the bedroom tax maybe too lenient!

Oooh DD, you are the kind of gal I need to know - reflective practice! I just happen to be sat in the library trying to write my first reflective piece of work! I'm sure the lecturer said we could choose one of 3 items, but the print out says do all 3 - but in only 500 words and with me being quite a wordy person, I can't squeeze it all in, so tough, I'm reflecting on my 'motivations for becoming a teacher' and will suffer the consequences tomorrow if it's wrong!

1. The IT tech guru got me online using my laptop

2. Rather than being the first in line for the library, I went to the refrectory for a much-needed coffee and worked there instead

3. Really enjoyed my first real lectures and seminars

4. Got lots of freebies from the teaching unions, DD will love her new diary

5. DD came in for a very early morning cuddle in my bed

Have a good evening all !

CCP

1) Some good long glimpses of yellow thing this afternoon.

2) LOs for lunch - sausage casserole with Mexican rice, which worked surprisingly well together.

3) Have given in to my craving for macaroni cheese for dinner but bulked it out with lots of veg to make it healthier.

4) Switched the CH on last night, but switched it back off again this morning when I realised I was too warm wearing just a t-shirt (and trousers, obviously ).

5) RTC yellow flowers I bought last week are still blooming away happily.

Smaller son is poorly. This is almost unheard of. I've just "cleaned up" the stairs and now have the same cracking headache he complained of before he was ill... So I'll update now while I can!

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Went into town and met 2 of my friends from Sixth Form College (they're twins). And 4 of their 5 children! They're all under 4.

3) Had a nice look round the charity shops but didn't find anything.

4) Tasty hummus sandwich for lunch with HM bread.

5) Road was shut (unfortunate road accident for a farmer on his quad) but managed to phone and intercept smaller son's taxi so they dropped him off at bigger son's high school. I know all the back lanes so could sneak down there while the taxi driver wouldn't have been able to find my house with the road shut.

6) After several arguments I managed to get bigger son to do some of his art homework.

8) Now sitting on the sofa with a very pale smaller son watching GBBO. His choice of viewing!

9) Oh, and tasty tea for me, bigger son and MrN's son5 of gammon, roast potatoes, carrots and corn on the cob.

Frith hope you & smaller son are feeling better now x

Feeling a bit low not sure why, may be withdrawal from meds... anyway a couple of pleasures

1. lunch out with friends on Monday, under a tenner and good laugh

2. work going ok

3. lovely sunset this evening. Went for walk and sun sinking in a blaze of glory in the west & at same time a huge full moon in the blue sky to the east

4. managed 20 min walk but foot really aching. Wore my winter boots for first time today and even a small wedge heel was painful may have to fork out for a flat pair

5. off to bed.

nite all x

In the early hours of this morning a “strawberry angel” left me a whole box of strawberry plants on the doorstep.. I am overwhelmed by the generosity, and hope Ms Ampersand will stop by when she is back in the UK and pop back by if she is in need of a cuppa :coffee: and cake and to check up on those plants / have a rest before the rest of that long ol journey!!! You are an amazing lady thank you so so much.:beer:

1. Has to be amazing smiles that early in the morning courtesy of Ampersand. :j
2. Made a phone call before I went into work to talk to the “tax woman”, the ferrets where out and thought I had lost my mind talking to myself, so decided to come in and walk up me from the wet garden, so I had to change out of my white top back into a black top remembering why I don’t wear white.:rotfl:
3. Work busy and over with.
4. We have a vast amount of expense pending so we are working tonight to find out what costs what and alternatives, DH needs some medical foot things immediately, I am ordering them tonight, we need a new router as ours is conking out each hour or no web hence why I couldn't post this up!, DH’s laptop has given up the ghost, as has the tumble dryer which literally gave up the ghost last night, I know these things always happen together but just sometimes. A pleasure to be able to research it all on the web, so far found a great tumble dryer, currently for sale in argos at 350 on offer at a euronics? For 140, so getting there;)
5. Popped to Mr T and the Milk was half price this time, and their “proper” ham was all rtc’d down so that was us happy, oh and picked up some bad bogof crisps.:D
