5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

newlywed

Hi all,

Congratulations Caterina. Hope wednesday goes well for you.

First day is over!!!
Somewhat weird going back to a job you did 10 years ago and meeting a lot of the same people you worked with back then!

But I think it went ok I just feel a bit like a fish out of water and it's been a while since I worked so I've got brain ache tonight :rotfl:

Still, tomorrow should be better as I might have slightly more of a clue what I'm meant to be doing

Um pleasures....

1. Seeing people I haven't seen for 10 years and them all seeming pleased to see me back
2. Help from a few colleagues when I didn't know what I was doing
3. I managed ok, though rather slow at the job I think.
4. I'm so tired I'm going to sleep well tonight

Ladyhawk

Evening everyone from a slightly tipsey Ladyhawk!

CONGRATULATIONS CATERINA - hope it is everything you were hoping for.

1) Lie in today as was working from the London office and only had an off peak train ticket... such a pity...

2) yummy lunch which was relatively cheap - a gorgeous warm half baguette from M&S, pot of hummus and bag of carrots and I was a happy girl!

3) text from potential suitor... watch this space as we have a date next Tuesday

4) Drinks with my dear friend L and we are planning on going travelling next year... she was in tears when I said that I wanted to go with her! (in a good way obviously!!)

5) Found a really nice pub on Marylebone High Street which serves reasonably priced cocktails and seems suitable for my birthday party in September.

sleep tight.

Good to see you back ampersand :wave:, and to hear you're keeping busy as usual
I used to do that elizabunny, til I tried writing my 5 in word and copy/paste when I've finished it. Mind you I did fall asleep over it one night recently and delete even that
Hi there jollymummy :wave: good to see you again. So sorry to hear of your troubles and wishing you a super Fathers Day together
Great to hear the new window cleaner did a good job Ginger Snap, they're few and far between. Lol at the chooks, how dare you sit enjoying pasta bake when they're 'starving'
Yummy breakfast parsonswife. Have a great time in the caravan, it's one of the best types of holiday ever
Didn't know you could grow courgette in pots Rainy Wednesday, I'll have to try that next year. The curry sounds really delicious :drool:
Thank goodness for steroids, eh wogglemaker, and lucky you to have such a helpful husband, that must be a great blessing :T
Well done on the tomatoes wssla, there's nothing like the smell of home grown toms. Lol at the can of Sweat, it doesn't exactly sound too refreshing :eek:
CCP my company tried to introduce something like the sickness policy your co is suggesting...the union sorted them out in no uncertain terms! Hope it all works out in your favour. Good for you enjoying the footie, not my game but I think I'm in the minority. Hope whoever you were backing won
I'm not really a huggy person nuttybabe but was only too pleased to help out . Hope your DS2 is back to par by the morning
Wow GirlySquare, you really got some bargains with the magazine. Real OS stuff to be proud of there :T
Well done on the 10p supermarket spend Tealady, that's real strength! Congrats to your DD on getting the 'right' college place
I'm sure you did reall well newlywed, in a couple of weeks you'll be doing the job as if you've always been doing it. So pleased you're back in work :j
Rotten luck on the enforced lie-in Ladyhawk, that must have been so tough for you . Will look forward to your report on Tuesdays date, hope it all goes well

My 5 -

1. Saw a 'wanted' for full or part used pots of paint on freecycle, this afternoon the lady came and took all 11 pots from the old shed (now I know why I was saving them ) . I'm so pleased as I was really reluctant to take them to the tip.
2. nsd
3. Postie brought me a bottle of bubble bath to trial
4. Good evening with fellowship friends, lots of fun and laughter as usual.
5. Looking forward to phoning my lovely Aussie-in-Beijing friend. He's going into hosp tomorrow for tests to see if there is anything they can do to ease the constant pain so have everything x'd that there will be a solution. So grateful for the 1p a min calls

Night night, sleepy tight

Congratulations Caterina!! Hope the new job goes really well. Sparrer Hope your friend can soon get some relief for the constant pain. GirlySquare Thank you. Tealady Your Pimms sounds wonderful!
I've combined yesterday's blessings with today's so here goes.
1) Tickets we had been waiting for the weekend for the Good Food Show have finally arrived, Hooray! It was a bit of a close one.
2) Another 2 helpings of lovely Broad Beans from our Garden. We eat the young ones pods and all and love them.
3) Received a free Motoring Magazine and an expanding sponge through the post. A handy extra gift for DH on Fathers Day.
4) Allocated two free cinema tickets Yippee!
4) Another visit to DM later today, thinking I might take a few garden roses, they won't last long but they smell georgeous. I don't think she always knows I'm there but I'm hoping she will be able to smell the roses.

CCP

Evening all. Hope you're all well in all this

My five for today:

1) Wore my new yellow sandals to work today, where they attracted a lot of attention. They only cost me £10, and they're yellow! (My favourite colour. )

2) Had a department meeting this morning where a few miserable souls were complaining about the noise of friendly conversation in the office. One of my colleagues then came back from lunch with a vuvuzela - that'll teach 'em! :rotfl: (Although the rotten spoilsport wouldn't actually let us play with it in the office. )

3) Got home to a freebie pack of marinades I'd forgotten I'd applied for. They look lovely, and I've re-written next week's meal plan so I can try one.

4) My blackcurrants are starting to ripen. :j

5) Nice dinner of chicken and bacon salad tonight - it's my dad's favourite salad* and it always makes me think of him.

* In that it's the only salad he'll eat - he calls vegetables "guinea pig food".


sparrer - I hope the tests your friend had today had a good result. My thoughts are with him, and with you too.

Good evening everyone

Thanks for the well wishes of ds2. He is alot better today but thought it best not go to toddler group this morning just in case.

I had a really good day until dh got home and said everyone in the company has been put on 90 day notice. Not that anyone is getting made redundant, they are looking into wages and car allowances etc so looks like dh could lose the car allowance. More to worry about as he has to have a car thats less than 4 years old for work so got one on finance as the car allowance paid for it - something else to worry about!!!!!

But anyway, will worry about that if it happens!!!

1. Popped into netto for milk and spent a small fortune on the whoopsie bit. Got loads of chicken, sausages and cheese.

2. When I got home I redid my meal plan for the next month and went through EVERYTHING in the freezer. Should have enough meat to last this month and part of next month!!! :j So budget reduced again!!! :j

3. I have baked chocolate cake and twinks and frozen veg and cheese!

4. The kids made rocking boat fathers day cards for the grandparents so just need to put some photos on and put in post. They can make dh's cards tomorrow.

5. Went to family seal (kids starting to fight ALOT by then) and made fajitas. Had 1 at family seal and 2 for tea!!! Ds ate 3 of them in family seal!!!

I can hear screaming so best go and sort kiddies out!!! Have a good evening.
