5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

VickyA_2

Happy birthday mhagster. I hope you've had a great day and plenty of :bdaycake:

So, my pleasures for today:

1) Trip with a friend to a clothing sale (seconds and overstocks). Bought myself a t-shirt for the summer (60% off) and a present for a friend's new born baby (50% off). :j

2) Item has sold on eBay! :beer: Just received payment for it! :j :j That's a job for tomorrow - post it!

3) Listed a few more items on eBay, hoping they do as well as the previous item.

4) DH has had a clear out of some clothes. A couple of items are listed on eBay, some for the charity shop and the rest for recycling.

5) Being inordinately proud of my stash of birthday/new home/new baby cards. Means that I don't have to traipse to the shops every time a friend has a birthday, ensuring I'm not tempted to buy other stuff I don't need!

Right, time to get ready for Poldark!

Happy Birthdays Mhagster - your weekend off sounds lovely (apart from the headache!!)


My quiet weekends ended up not so quiet! Sat running around and doing housework, cooking huge lasagne for an impromptu girly night with DD1 and 2 of her friends! Was lovely to see them - I have missed having them around since DD1 flew the nest!
Today went to watch DD1 run the Liverpool Half marathon - it was wet!!! Bit she did well and we had a lovely brunch afterwards (not very MSE!)


So pleasures for the weekend:


1. DD1 home
2. DD1 and 2 friends stayed for dinner lovely evening had!
3. Nice catch up with friend on the phone - she had had her ill health retirement through - very sad! But a good catch up and made me feel less miserable about having a cold and cough!
4. After a wet morning watching DD3 came home and put heating on - took the opportunity to get some washing dried on the airier so house smells of fabric softner instead of wet dog!
5. Tried a new recipe for health chicken tika masala for dinner - was lovely and so much cheaper and healthier than a takeaway!
6. 4 day week to look forward to followed by 10 days off!!!!

Happy birthday, MHags! It is tomorrow for you now so hope you had a lovely day.


Pleasures for today (Sunday):


1) A lie in! Even later with the clocks going forward.


2) Did a few jobs out and about including Sainsburys.


3) Played football with sons.


4) Kept on top of the washing and tidying.


5) Made spag bol for tea.


6) Told sons we will be going to Broadway tomorrow. Bigger son "Is that where the actors are?" Smaller son "No, that's Broadway Street" :-D


That's about it for today!

McHags Happy Birthday, sounds like it was a wonderful birthday.
1. Planted out all the sweetpeas into a big container as they were starting to look very ill.
2. The empty compost bag making the best ever animal toy. And off cuts of material from the bedding made is perfect.
3. All the washing is up to date, we are ready to road trip.
4. Sorted all the banking out.

Thank you for birthday wishes, I had a lovely weekend.( got to streeeetch out a birthday you know! )

Work today was fine.
Free train on way in and only 3 minutes to wait for a train on way home.
Finding a pack of biscuits undiscovered by children.
Picked up a mag from library box
Lovely sunny day....after last week's very cold weather I shall try not to moan about this week's heat! Apparently on Thursday it was warmer in Antartica than it was in Melbourne.

The birds are singing, the leaves are turning beautiful shades of reds, Browns and oranges and golds. Some of the roses in the garden are having a second bloom. It is still strange to have a birthday in autumn when it was always spring !

Have a good start to your week.

Happy belated birthday MHags .... sounds like you had a lovely time x

Have been struggling for pleasures - phone call on Friday morning from a close friend to let me know her mum died suddenly on Thursday night of a bleed on the brain. Such a devastating loss

For the last few weeks I have been struggling with someone at work who asks me questions and then argues with the advice I give - then tries to drop me in it with the boss when I haven't done anything wrong .... But loss of friends mum puts this into perspective and I will put it to the back of my mind and find some pleasures

1. I now have 2 weeks off work :j

2. had a good tidy up over the weekend

3. Fence is still standing (just) after gale force winds and driving rain this weekend

4. DP's arrive today to stay for a week - plans to fix fence weather permitting

5. Plants I bought in the garden centre offer last week are flowering bringing some much needed spring cheer

Have a good week everyone x

Struggles and backwardses atm - putah, manky arm, weather, some persons, delays, committee-speak, some recidivism,...dear old Life, that is:-)

Therefore, a-into-g day today, regardless. Probably won't need car. Once outside, & should be blown from this hither to that yon.

mhags - birthday sounds special and lovely, from huge hens to good haggis and wholey-moley weekend-the-first off! Even Brendon McCullum forgot to concentrate when he waved his bat to you.

1. Sat night concert raised over £800 and was terrific. Included Wild Mountain Thyme, dd/mhags/Rev.maman of judi. S[another Parish academic] has magnificent voice, used significant birthday to give Concert. Opened with a fun/sparkling 'Art is Calling for Me/I want to be a Prima Donna', with 1st singing teacher, elderly now, in audience.

2. Something symbolic, given to & yesterday. & unworthy, really really unworthy of the genuine soul who gave it. I know this constantly.

3. Big boy silver pheasant is regularly seen - and heard. My, is he handsome! - and knows it. Love watching him. Did so as successive passes of rain and hail slammed into &obile, off in a Fenny lostspot.

4. Try again...new phone collection this arvo. Will it work chez& etc.etc.? Enforced purchases are annoying, but &-useful apps are being w/d and phone came up with yet another never-before-seen Not Working msg last week. Took it to quiet N. at Mr T, who is fount of knowledge, trustworthy. [Away for next month to finish Diss. - *1st forecast, info. extracted with difficulty from this modest, young man] So:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-mobile-motorola-moto-e-black/577-6992.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=577-6992, with further £10 off if collected.
Will retain no, tfr pics, use same usb charger, is intuitive, unlike wretched blackberry, fr/eng keyboards easily accessed. OK, wil have to try again with touchscreen, but provided it's fast, should be better than last oduff reject. On verra.

5. Being on watch for someone is having major drag-down effect. Felt the difference when scooting to France for M's 70th. H-U-G-E it was, just realising - 'hooray! Away for x days now'. Hope this makes me human, not inhuman, but there are times when I feel I've just done too much of this all my life. Am thinking about this and have said as much to a.n.other. It's difficult, but, contrary to received wisdom and [very]common belief, my lifespan is not infinite.....
2 Palm Sunday services helped. No choc, dairy, bread for Lent did not - no lovely choc. birthday cake for & hier. Really looking forward to 1st emporium cappuccino, even with 30p offset spend:-). Have a free JL cake+drink to come too.

Apologies for motley moody post. Normal page-size asap pl-e-a-s-e.

ampersand - hope the struggles lessen...

Pleasures for today:

1) Have taken DH's cleared out clothes to the charity shop. They SEEMED very grateful. Or at least were making appreciative noises.

2) Had a clear out of my own clothes today. I was really quite ruthless - if I hadn't worn the items last summer or over the winter, then out they went. To be fair, I've not thrown anything out that I haven't worn. I do get good wear out of my clothes.

3) My parents came back from their holiday and popped in to my town on their way up the A1 - and took me out for lunch! :j :j

4) NPD - I walked into town and back twice! Admittedly it's only a 15 minute walk each way, but still....

5) Killing myself laughing watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xau8s_g-lQk

And a sneaky 6:

6) Changing our energy tariff to a cheaper (hopefully) one. :j :j
