5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

CCP

Afternoon all.

Ladyhawk - I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy at the moment. I hope the antibiotics kick in and you feel better soon.

I'm feeling rather this afternoon after a not-good day at work - I've had a complaint made about me that has left me feeling... well, , despite my colleague's attempts to reassure me. (Due to the nature of his job he's had loads of complaints made about him, none of which has ever been upheld, so he's in a good position to be reassuring. It's not nice to have someone so angry and upset at me that they want to complain, though, even if I know the complainant's wrong. ) Shortly afterwards I found what seems to be a nasty case of corporate oversight that I just know is going to come back and bite me, as I was the one who found it. :eek: Definitely not a good day!

Anyway, let's try for five nice things:

1) Another collegue told me my new haircut was 'all swooshy'. I'm not sure precisely what that means, but it was definitely a compliment.

2) Had a lunch of sandwiches made from my loaf of 50p bread flour, and it's one of the tastiest loaves of bread I've made in ages.

3) One of my tomato seeds has finally germinated - I hope it drops some hints to the other veg seeds that they really need to get on with it!

4) I'm treating myself to a glass of the lovely ginger beer I got on special offer a few weeks ago, to console myself after today at work.

5) Bacon and mushrooms for dinner, with some of the bean stew left over from last night's dinner - very OS.

I look forward to reading everyone else's pleasures for today to cheer me up a bit. Have a nice evening, everyone.

Ladyhawk

CCP - hugs to you! Hope it all works out for the best. Remember "and this too will pass..."

Evening all

Mine for today

1 Up earlier than the kids so I had 20 mins peace with my cup of tea before the madness started! :rotfl:

2 Cleaned the living room (and behind the sofas) and the dinning room. Even got the kids cleaning the sofas for me. :T

3 Dh got a prize of £50 in vouchers in work for 'shouts'. When they do a good job a colleague can give them a 'shout' and it appears dh has won for the month. :j He deserves it, he does work very hard. Still working now!!

4 Doctor has finally agreed that ds2 has asthma (and thats whats been causing all the chest infections), he will have an asthma review next week after this chest infection clears up and they will sort out his inhalers.

5 Bread making in the breadmaker for breakfast tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a good evening.

Hiya, all! My 5 for today:

1. We have more jobs in, so work is generally better. Added to that, I had a short day in the office as I was out with a client all afternoon.

2. Obtaining confirmation that something is happening - at last! - about getting council funding for my mother's care home costs. It's only taken a year so far...

3. Delicious homemade curry and rice for tea - yum!

4. Lovely sunny day here in Bristol - too warm for a jacket!

5. Reading some great online fiction.

Mine for today
1. Reduced the ironing pile a bit more this morning, I did have to iron this lot though and not just fold.
2. Yummy lunch of HM veg and lamb soup - Veg soup made last night with what was left of the veg from the lamb shanks and stock added. Very OS and very tasty
3. Did a Reverbe and found a 1p plus someone had left a copy of this months Marie Claire on the bus so a free magazine and it has a voucher in for a free mascara:T
4. Easy dinner tonight of meatballs (made with reduced 59p sausage meat) and pasta. All very cheap, easy and tasty
5. Getting £65 in rail vouchers as a refund for my terrible rail journey at easter. Only paid £30 for the original tickets so quite pleased. This will pay for my rail journey this weekend to pick DD up from Mum and Dad's

Hi everyone, here are my five for today.

1. Got through my COPD flair up with just a phone consultation with Dr in the practice who knows my lungs. Antibitotics and another steroid script in return for a sputum sample for microbiology. Thank goodness for the lovely guys and girls at my practice.

2. managed to help OH by splitting and re-potting several ferns and a hosta which was well pot bound.

3. Gerkins and peti pan seeds planted by oh

4. Three of last years fucias which were not supposed to be hardy are showing new growth, so more free plants.

5. finished another 12" square for dads bed spread.

the house is filled with the lovely smell of a cake baked by darling oh

Hugs to all who need them \Love W M

Tealady - *shudder* / lol at the thought of having an OH....it was me, all me, being a lovely lucky single mummy that won me the vouchers, lol. I'm off dating, happy being single now (probably means I'll meet the man of my dreams tomorrow, ha ha ha)

1. A NSD, yippee!

2. The sun shining again, keeping my spirits up.

3. Swam again this morning, yippee!!

4. Had "fun" test driving new cars, not sure what I'm looking for though, but now have a couple of models that are definite no's

5. Lovely if rather brief chats with DD, we both felt a bit sad when she told me how much she was missing me this evening but I will see her in 2 days, so not too long. Really glad I said no to the idea of her being taken on holiday for 2 weeks, it would be far too long at the moment. Can't wait for her to be back home
