1. Phew again: &'s vehicle. Tweaking battery strings worked in remote place yesterday.
2. WIMBLEDONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Cornet - Bouchard match was just about all & hoped.
3. Still delay-watching, real time listening - good stuff Andy, but no real extended test yet and the big boys lie in wait.
4. Spare copy of John Seymour[& buys any she finds at suitably silly prices]left@Vicarage after consoling chat: little chick has died. Mother seemed not to know what to do and left it several times.
5. rtc organic chicken[w8rs 80p last week!]roasted last night, much enjoyed with ditto taties, peppers, carrots, onions, stripped today and carcass>stocked. rtc 49p moules marinièred simultaneously = fish and fowl very neatly dealt with by 8 bells.
Most satisfying.

Lovely to read your 1st home pleasures mhags and bop's keel[under duvet=under boat?] on-leave smuggery. Happy times, joined by pk and ss1000 hopefully.

Rest of my day's been guilt-free slack plus npd/nsd.
Oh, that round ball thing - France, ma belle, did quelque chose.

Good evening everyone :hello:

So lovely to see you all!

Kittikins - I'm sure you deserve your glowing report! So, so lovely when we're recognised for the incredibly hard work we put in. Your new school and new class are lucky to have you.

My pleasures for the past couple of days:

1) My car repairs cost a big fat zero! I took the rattling car to the garage who had done the service two months ago. They decided that the rattling was to do with the service and they hadn't tightened something properly and therefore it cost nothing as it was their fault. Brilliant! Very rare that a garage will do that. In fact, I normally walk out having flexed my plastic.

2) Went out for supper last night with friends. Took them to a new Italian type place that we had a 25% discount for! :j :j Bonus!

3) NSD due to not having to pay a thing for the car. What a relief!

4) Chicken tikka masala from a massive batch cooked for the freezer, for supper this evening. Yum!

5) Went shopping yesterday with another friend. Popped in to the John Lewis sale and managed to get part of DH's (people of a nervous disposition, look away now) Christmas present! Half the price of another wallet I was looking at and still genuine leather! :beer:

Thanks PK and &. Yes today was the day - short induction day, feeling very positive so more news tomorrow when I've had a full proper work day :eek::). Thank you for thinking of me. I think PK has a break - lucky. I'm hoping to have break soon but need to become useful very quick.

So quick pleasures:

1. My new job
2. Quick trip to town with DD ( we took the bus which at £8 return was not MSE but was a great way to people watch so good fun)
3. DD got a hair curler and I got 4 Philips toothbrush heads and saved over half price and earned 280 boots points
4. Went window shopping in Debenhams. DD was lovely, picking out things she would like for a (future) daughters bedroom to give her as lovely a time as she had. Awwww - I did something right then. We also had a tea and frappe in debs. I used my debs card so had 20% off and got a loyalty stamp.
5. Payday included my holiday pay.

VickyA glad your car ok. Marmite love the Galia? Melon (small ones?). And scrambled eggs for tea. Another eggy idea - I have lots - GP has given me a frittata style one and I have just watched a potato and boiled egg salad on nectar points.

Night all. :T

Frith

Quick update today:


1) Sons off to school OK.


2) Met my friend for a cup of tea. She's just sent me a photo her daughter (1) took whilst playing with her phone and said there are 32 of my tea cup!


3) Went round the charity shops and got a Whistles top (£4) then found the perfect lampshade for my new bathroom! (£5). I thought it was Art Deco but turns out it is made by Interiors 1900. I'd never heard of them but they hand make glassware for Tiffany etc and their stuff costs a fortune.


4) Popped in to see mum and dad.


5) Bigger son is selling some of his old things on Ebay and is making some money!

Hooray for fabulous lampshades, free car 'repairs' and new jobs x


I had a sleepless night worrying about my grades...and


1. well, once my teachers had stopped laughing at me for querying whether my report was actually right, they reassured me that they had met to discuss my progress and that they both completely agreed with the grades they gave me


2. I had a lovely email from my tutor congratulating me when I sent it in to uni I'm now, I think, 3 days away from qualifying!


3. Lots of cuddles from DD too


4. A new secretary started at my school and by lunchtime, it was if she had been there forever. Really pleased for her and the teachers, as they've been without a PA for over a month!


5. The school was visited by a lovely performance poet who did an amazing workshop in each of the classes. He was going on up to DD's school after mine, so I asked him to look out for her and bought her a copy of his KS2ish poems and myself his more KS1ish poems. Lovely to have another book dedictated to her by the author - a friend of a friend is a children's author and has sent her a couple of his books in the past. Lucky girl!


6. After a couple of days battling with DD over her keyboard practice, the fruits of my labours (in telling her to persevere and that she was not allowed to give up her lessons, mean muvva eh?) were repaid, in that her pieces sounded beautiful when she serenaded me tonight. Long may that last.....


7. One of my lovely course-mate chums got a job at a lovely school back down in Sussex today


8. Scrumptious dal for dinner, and enough for lunch tomorrow, nomnomnom.


9. Another bit of my teacher's thank you present arrived today - all useful, if slightly dull, stationery items, as requested. Must wrap....there's always tomorrow


10. Had such a lovely day with the children, little Mr Independent continues to grow in strength and confidence - I compared him to a beautiful butterfly soaring in the air after hiding in his cocoon for too long


And on that lovely thought, I shall bid you all goodnight x

1.Beautful walk first thing 5.30. So peaceful.

2. Laughing at work - we were so busy it was a bit of stress relief.

3. Speaking with a neighbour who I hadn't seen in a while.

4. A compliment from a customer at work.

5. Tea was tasty and I used herbs from the garden.

We are talking feathers, and of the duvet type. So if you read this at work. GET ON WITH YOUR WORK

5 Yellow Yellow Yellow Yellow you know that BoP is on hols. And you cannot say I did not tells you so!

4 Big breakfast of the monster again with lashing of fresh milk, not that over priced soya stuff. Then tea and jam on toast. BoPsi has got a pressie for BoP in the refrigerator. Bar of chocolate. She has already wolfed hers down!

3 Finished the crossword yesterday in record time, and typical, the Germans do it again!

2 Night me and BoPsie are off to the flicks. Do not know what film is, but BoPsie has loaded her bag, got glad rags ready and we will be armed with water pistols to cool down any elopers!

1 Time of your life

& I hit on the word stripped and I thought, not wallpaper! Tasty tea, lampshades, hammers and nails. Painted nails? More tea, cups and chatters, school reports that matter. Any old rattlers, cars repaired and batteries that ...

Oh, and the feathers. I regret to announce that unfortunately, the bird that was delicately toyed with by Raffles, died of natural causes.

Morning from my mums! My lovely friend dropped me off on her way to work so I save 2 bus fares and I get to pick up her car and have the use of it for next week or so.

It is a beautiful morning after a dreadful nights sleep, someone phoning me after 10pm.....oh were you in bed? , then OH texting me and the noise woke up, sharing a bed with a very wriggly 14 year old! So I just got up at 5am and went downstairs.

Got my international times all mixed up and thought it was night time but it was just afternoon when I spoke to OH.

I've watered the tomato plants in MIL greenhouse and all the pots in the garden.

Heading out soon to collect my great niece for a few hours and then dinner at a friends house tonight.

Catch up when I can
