5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

[Deleted User]

Combined pleasures for the past few days

1) Rugby tickets for a game on Friday evening when I got up to DD1s, WE WON!!!

2) The Messiah sung in the Cathedral by the choral society was the most moving performance I've ever heard, and I've heard the piece many, many times and now it really does feel like Christmas.

3) A lovely day in Cheltenham on Sunday and we finished off the Christmas presents we needed to get.

4) Trains home yesterday had all sorts of problems and delays BUT I made my connection with 4 minutes between arriving and having to sprint from platform 10 to platform 3 and got home on time.

5) Today we are off to visit DD2 and that Zebra child and take them the carpet shampooer as they are moving house on the 18th December and she wants to leave the flat nice and clean for the new owner.

Weakly waves hello from a land so warm I'm slowly melting!

Worked yesterday , we were very busy.
Raining ,heavy, warm raindrops as I walked to station and then as I walked home but I didn't mind.
Bought a lovely bunch of peonies at local florist...my treat for me.

Today
A day most warm to start the day and the heat just built up and up . Was 37o this afternoon.

Yesterday I had a call from tree surgeon ( big branch fell and smashed OHs car windscreen the other week) " I will pop in to tomorrow " .....but I won't be there till late afternoon is what he didn't tell me, so had things that could have been done out and about but weren't as I waited and waited.

Tidied up a bit, read a bit , watched the waltons Christmas movie

Went grocery shopping once OH came home from work. They have a new reward system I'm still trying to get my head around but OH got $30 off his shop yesterday when he went to get bits and bobs for lunches at work and I've now accrued $40 towards next shop so thats okay! Was also overcharged on cheese by $2 so was given $8.99 refund ( free block of cheese) it pays to check your receipt before you leave the store.

Have a good one!

3) Apart from resting....

Frith - your idea of resting is similar to mine :rotfl:



Get well now ! - you too PK !


Pleasures for Monday


1. managed to get appointment at Doctors and only waited a few minutes - practically unheard of ! Diagnosis Chest infection - apparently my chest is cracking - made me think of pork scratchings :rotfl:


2. free prescription - thankful for medical exemption certificate - the only "good" thing about being diabetic - hope antibiotics kick in soon


3. arrived hoime just in time - the postie was at my door with a parcel I was expecting


4. in between "resting" managed to get the dishwasher on twice, hoovered the living room covered in "snow" from DS putting up our Christmas tree & decs on sunday and managed to get a load of washing out on the line as it was sunny and breezy


5. couple of hours zonked out on the sofa then leftover pulled pork for quick and easy tea


My thoughts go out to those affected by the floods x

And relax. So the loud mouthed thug is going to be one sone overrun personality programme on the ogle box. Waste of licence fee.

Still inn Lennie's place. Last eve spotted Muldoon, graduate, up was unable to comprehend that chair in my room was broken. Tonight, middle aged lass, has it sorted in five minutes. You don't need an education to do that. Oh no, BoP is off on a rant. Any social workers in the house?

Standard rules. Five more sleeps till home with BoPsie, so Sparra, no sow treatment, massage and toe nail trim for BoP. Returning to the wilderness!

Frith, it is safe to post again!

ampersand

bop, you seem to be in Mornington Crescent mode and extreme disvernacularising.
Licence Fee applies not if bop advice followed, as & did, back in that day. Had no idea before that info. was dispersed. f.o.c.:-)))))))))))
Still grateful:-). Wireless and occasional i-player always enough for & any way.

Did you have holiday or no? Usually we see a pic or deux, always excellent[unlike &efforts] not so far.

10 social workers may not be injured in the bopping of any rant.
The only Muldoon known to & was our Gross National Product, Piggy:

Nice to see peoples posts

1. I didn’t sleep last night with both of us ill DH is snoring and can’t help it, I read my Kindle until about 5, dozed for 2 hours then got up and decided to plant. My daffs and crocus bulbs had started trying to grow so I planted them all into pots and covered them with a fleecy cover hoping for the best.
2. I did a couple of washing loads,
3. Doc apt and picked up the prescription, put cheque in the bank and went to Lidl where I spent £35, £4 on animal chicken, £6 on meat for us, £6 on Christmas stuff, of which I think one item of Christmas chocolate won’t last the night lol. The rest on bits we had run out of.
4. After a lot of work I am making some progress to be seen with help for DF, its hard but getting there.:o
5. And rest still feeling a bit naff and its catching up with me now, but dinner is cooking in the oven and nothing left to do tonight.
6. Refusing to cave I just made some Christmas shortbread cookies, stars decorated with jane asher poundland icing writing, certainly not Nigella but a bit of fun.:rotfl:

A day of ups and downs.


Pleasures:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Better than yesterday, though still not on top form.


3) Had a training day this morning (a training morning?)


4) Pleasant enough afternoon at work.


5) Went out for a cup of tea with my school friend.


6) Tasty tea of Quorn pie, 2 corn on the cobs (needed using up) and a portion of red cabbage that I did not freeze.


7) Watched Holby City.


All this overshadowed by one of bigger son's school friends who did not turn up to their last lesson. He had complained of feeling down earlier in the day and at lunchtime walked into town and jumped off the bridge. He is alive and in hospital. I won't name the river or town except to say the flood defences are up and I have no idea how they can possibly have got him out.

Good afternoon from Hotland

Day off number 2 , fairly motivated at start of day whilst cooler.
Ironing , more washing loads than I care to count, hoovering, cleaned the girls bathroom of doom!

Popped out to drop a bag of stuff at salvos, sausage roll for my lunch from bakers, stamps from post office and a couple of books from library, asked about the demise of the swap box, it won't be coming back but other libraries do it, so shall drop any mags off there.

Poor OH, not his day, someone crashed into him this morning on drive to work, but he's okay and car's insured and then tomorrow's surgery has been cancelled at very short notice, they need the theatre for a trauma case but we will have tomorrow off together to do something nice.

Me and Haggis wrapped Christmas presents.....well, I wrapped, he ate the cardboard inner tube from wrapping paper and then had a whole roll of curling ribbon in his mouth....when I pulled the end it kept coming like a dispenser! What a boy! I have a couple of things to buy and then I'm done.

Hope poorly people feel better soon and thoughts to the boy and his family frith, I hope they get the help and support he needs.

Have a happy Wednesday

PS loving the advent earrings DD
