5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Kittikins

My mummykins makes lovely veggie doggie biscuits sparrer,
two types: peanut butter, and a more herby, garlicky one. We love 'em too, but doggikins gets first dibs, so we don't get a look in! If you want the recipes, let me know


VJsmum - ouch! Sorry to hear you're in pain, take lots of drugs and rest as much as you can. When I slipped a disc, that was the basic advice, so I now tend to apply it to every ache and pain Hope it eases v. v.v. soon xx


1. Another NSD - I know yesterday was as well, not sure about others. Maybe I should be counting them after all?!?


2. Finally have a date from Multiy**k as to when they're going to deliver my sideboard and dining chairs


3. Finally have a time set up for the carpenter to come and measure up....just haven't quite got round to calling the estate agent yet to make sure I can get in to the flat!


4. DD's first day back at school was 'awesome'.


5. I got to pick her up after school


6. I'm ready(ish) for uni tomorrow....having not yet used turnitin to send in my essay, I'm scared of it! What if it says I've unknowingly plagiarised the whole thing!!!


7. Looking forward to the allotment programme in a few minutes.

Scrabble Night! BoPsie is going for four on the bounce!
If you do not want to know the score, look away now!:eek:

Phew, got a seven letterer. And playable in two places! And slammed down on a double word, doubled! Get in!

Kittikins

Oops, I seem to have forgotten about the programme - I found a website that apparently checks essays for plagiarism and grammatical errors, and have been playing with it. I hope it's correct, as if so, I only have 2% plagiarism (and that's silly things like writing a common phrase like "In this essay I will discuss"). Phew! I'm nearly ready to get rid of it forever to the internet (and then tomorrow, to the high tech pigeonhole at uni!)

Kittikins

Yup, I did my degree pre-internet as well and with a daisy wheel printer to print out my dissertation. This is all a bit new-fangled and scary, I'm worried that anything that sounds remotely 'intelligent' will be plagiarised without my realising it!

lfs i shall tell dd2 to be an amzon warrior :-) thanks to all for the good wishes. It means a lot in a world where a degree (daisy wheel or otherwise) seems sometimes to look like the only way
1) walked the dogs then into work. Got soaked but saved on the bus fare
2) kidney bean pasta salad and 'free' cup of tea. Level 5 canteen not only gives free water (i had a cup, bag and uht milk' but has a microwave
3) managed to resist chocolate machine. Determined to lose spare tyre (and saved on the pennies too)
4) walked home and the skies opened. Got home drenched but saved the bus money. So nice to get changed into my nightie
5) lish supper - pork chop, mash with neep and carrots. Dd2 having sed she didnt want any kept nicking my carrots. Shall miss her when she goes back to edinburgh tomoz. But she'll be off job- hunting.

sparrer

Kittikins I make dog biscuits with a tray of lambs liver, a bag of veg peelings saved in the freezer over 2/3 weeks, garlic, olive oil, eggs and plain flour. I'd love the peanut butter recipe - don't know that mutters will get them before me though, I'm a peanut butter fanatic .
LFS you overfed your mate with 10 tins of condensed milk? God bless his tummy :eek:

1. made good inroads into my list, dog biscuits, pizza made, ironing done, mending done, kitchen cleaned, halo a bit tight....:p
2. packed up a parcel of necessaries I bought in the £1 store for DM - there isn't one in her town - will send them tomorrow

Evening all! :hello:

I'm back! :j :j :j :j Did you miss me?

DH and I had a great time in Amsterdam. Accidentally walked down the most "interesting" street there, which was eye-opening to say the least, for someone so sheltered. Visited Anne Frank's house/annexe too. Truly incredible to think that 8 people lived in the tiniest of spaces. Some visitors complained that there wasn't any space... er, surely that's the point?

Spent yesterday at Market Rasen races, watching Fair Bramble (horse). She was joint favourite and the poor thing fell at the fourth fence and frightened herself so much that she galloped around the course 5 times, without her jockey on her back. Poor thing. Luckily, she is still sound but the head lad thought that she'd frightened herself (which isn't necessarily a bad thing as she's a stroppy mare, quite literally!!).

However, my pleasures for today:

1) Back to school. Ok, so not a pleasure as I hadn't got up at 6am for over 2 weeks....

2) Lasagne for supper - made by my mum! It was great!

3) Marking done!

4) A lovely, shiny £2 coin has been added to my road tax collection.

5) Thinking about going to bed... night all!
