Welcome, all newcomers!

My five for today:

1. My car needed to go to the garage again - came out yesterday morning and found that some kind person had snapped off my wing mirror - but it was fixed quickly by my local garage. They charged me much less than I expected, too.

2. Finding out that my new foster cats, Fudge and Willow, will be arriving tomorrow! Can't wait!

3. Short day at work, and more work has come in, so it's not so dull right now. Plus I completed something that's being hanging around for a while and which had been bugging me.

4. Made my delicious savoury loaf for tea - enough for six meals, so the freezer will get most of it - and had it with lots of veg and mash. Yum!

5. My homemade hummus for lunch, with pitta. Yum again!

My 5 for today -

1) Back to work which wasn't good, but my friend there bought me some Bonne Maman Jam and biscuits from her holiday in France, bless her!

2) Leftover roast dinner for lunch...mmmmm!

3) Had a lovely text from OH and pup (they were left to look after each other for the first time today) saying "we love you"

4) Chciken legs from yesterday's roast, cold with jacket potato, last of the contents of the salad drawer and Mum's hm chutney

Very food orientated today but considering I was back at work today and I am impressed I managed 5....god I hate that place sometimes, luckily my students are back tomorrow so they'll cheer me up!

Mine for today:

1. Damp dusted the living room today (can't use spray polish due to asthma & copd) so everything is back to normal after my month with Dear Dad.

2. Found a cheap ultrasonic cleaner on ebay - so all of the rings etc I've inherited from Mom (some going back to grandparents and great great grands) can soon be sparkling clean.

3. Found some cheap stacking herb planters again on e bay, I WILL get more home grown again!

4. Seeds are sprouting left right and centre

5. OH found 20+ fox glove plants self seeded in the lily pots he bought from the local garden centre, so plants for free.

A strange day today.......good and bad!

1. Great one first off - for the first time since injuring my back in October last year I was able to swim 20 lengths of the pool - and I did it before going to work Double halo, lol.

2. Rubbish one next....my car is dying Needs a new engine and not worth doing it on an oldish car The pleasure is that it's not dead yet and I can keep on putting oil in it very regularly and it will keep going for a while whilst I go and have fun working out what car I'd like next (and wondering how the heck I'm going to finance it!)

3. Work was pants but it didn't send me into a frenzy of eating rubbish food/drinking vino. Phew!

4. The sunshine, got my swimsuit dry for another swim and it looks like it'll be lovely again tomorrow, hoorah!!

5. Had a lovely phonecall from a friend who is just as useless at me at keeping in touch and she's going to come over one night this week
