5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Primrose

Goodness - where did this week disappear to?

1. Spending some useful time in the garden scraping moss from our driveway, sowing some sweet peas and re-erecting my mini plastic greenhouse after its winter in storage.
2. Good phone conversation with a friend I don't catch up with as often as I would like.
3. Discovering the free "Library Elf " facility, which will automatically remind email somebody who borrows books from a public library to remind them when their books are due for renewal so that they don't run up fines.
4. Lovely supper - garlic prawns. Good job I don't have a dentist appointment tomorrow :rotfl:
5. Nothing on TV appeals so going to settle for an early night with a good book.

Ah yes, Caterina - I found that very site a while back. Grauniad-triggered, I think. Fun.
1. Back to....another day, during which sun briefly came, but quickly went. When will this end?
2. Dr rang, just as I was on way out for dentist. Genuine, kind, concerned - it all astounds me, this care. So, after dental work done, made appt at her request. Have done little else but read and doze since. I'm floating atm.
3. Freecycle apple trees v. sought after. Whoever comes can dig up strawberries by the square yard, too. Ah, he just phoned - all arranged.
4. In response to my thanks for hangers on f/c, someone else has offered more - will use Pass of the Ancient Crone demain matin to collect them, while out for Saturday Grauniad, library books change, other, then back in time for Le Match.
5. Discovered the Sabotage Times site by chance, when checking sth. Tim Minchin today. Can see it isn't aiming to be tasse du th! universel, in which it succeeds, but I was pleased that this was there:

6. Good News Quiz ce soir, so good i-player rpt in store. Listen for the Tesco website blunder...
7. Can't stand Ann Robinson, so i-player pop-out comes to the rescue again for My Life in Books.

How did AR land this plum? At least I can listen and not look at her botox-slur speak.
8. Bin men left no sacks yesterday. Advised an office this morning[never would normally]and was amazed to find them out front on rtn<dentist.
9. Having heard Goodnight Mr Tom by chance on DAB 7 some months ago, finished reading a copy found in L's car, on our run over to Charity on Tuesday. He's not a reader, has no idea how it came to be there, but I gladly brought it back.
10. Have this week's Masterchefs to watch on i-player...might start now, as I've confessed[feel guilty]to Dr, that doing RIEN actually is giving cortisone steroid cocktail a chance to work...or rather she attributes it to this. So I will, and must for another week apparently, apart from unavoidable commitments.

Wishing everyone the weekend of their choosing
[also, Ladyhawk. can't believe your car saga continues. You must be due a huge goodwill gesture by now.]

Good evening all, and thank you for the kind welcome backs! I am very well, and currently 17 weeks pregnant, so you can probably guess what I've been doing lol!

My blessings for today:

1. Felt spud kick for the first time, so excited, and babydaddy phoned me about 2 seconds later, and was quite excited too!
2. Looked for cars this afternoon, gave me a headache and didn't find anything, but tis a blessing that I have the money to buy one!
3. Gammon went in SC this morning, and when we got back from car hunting ds did sweet potato and potato mash and leeks and cheese sauce, I sat down and woe is me'd a lot about my back hurting!
4. Watched Mastermind with dd1, our regular Friday thing, and giggled a lot at how many odd questions there seemed to be this week!
5. Lying in bed watching telly and listening to rain pattering on window outside, feel very cosy and snug, and blessed to have a warm home.

oooooh! Tealady at your new shoes!
I love high heels, to look at! But I struggle to walk in them!
I covet them, buy them, admire them and wear my comfy flats!

Hope everyone has a good weekend..

1. The glimpse of sun really does make a difference – vitamin D yeah.
2. Worked from home and got it all done yipeee
3. Up to date on the washing before the weekend
4. Bacon sandwich
5. We did a random search on ebay where we found what we wanted a piece of furniture immediately, got it for a fantastic price, picked it up this evening and its literally as new, so for my first ever impulse auction buy it was a fantastic purchase couldn’t be happier.

Here's some pleasures of recent days:

1. Homemade sweet & sour sauce to go with prawns for a takeaway style tea last night. It was much nicer than a jar (IMHO) and I've still got a tub of the sauce left. That means I feel some shallow fried breaded chicken balls coming on (ooh, wonder if I can bake them instead?) to have at a later date.
2. Finished up eating the carrot cookies from "We'll Eat Again". It was interesting to make something like that.
3. It's the weekend!
4. The first disc of episodes from Lost Season 6 came through LoveFilm - cue much excitement from me
5. A day of cleaning to look forward to, feeling a bit of renewed OSiness.

Have a good day, everyone. Congrats, Mummysaver!

Started the day off full of the joys of 'approaching autumn', was alovely bright morning, then ooh it got a bit too hot 31o, we've been in the low 20's past week & can cope so much better, anyway....2 more hot days forecast then cooler for rest of week!

1. 3 loads of washing done & dried (not ironed ,was too hot to stand & iron!)

2. Went to our new favourite cafe ...a new Saturday morning routine, & had a lovely brunch & a good read through the papers & supplements. I did NOT need the lemon meringue pie I ordered, was huge and couldn't finish it but it was most delicious.

3. Got our shopping. Came in under budget this week.

4. The banana saga.......bought 'fresh' bananas at $4.99/kg then got almost 2kg of not so fresh (looked fine to me) in fruit shop for $3.50, so will be mushed up & frozen for banana loaf!

5. Made a huge pot of carrot & coriander soup & a pavlova. Pavlova tastes fine but doesn't look as pretty as it should (damn my oven), was supposed to be for dinner tomorrow but we tucked into it tonight!

6. Nice chat with sister & then my mum on skype!

7.Finally started raining ,so will hopefully cool the air! Good for the garden though!

Happy weekend to everyone

6) MrN has been and just gone and.... drum roll... I think it is safe to say at this late stage... we are going away for the weekend. :-)) Leaving tomorrow once my sons have been picked up by their father. All his sons already safely stopping away until Sunday. :-D

Hi all

Many congratulations Mummysaver! Looking forward to news of a little new Babysaver in a few months time!

Here are my pleasures for today:

1 - Breakfast in bed courtesy of DH (fried eggs, mushrooms and tomato, with tea, really nice).

2 - My first personal trainer session! She is young but very good, encourages and pushes but does not bully and she is not too expensive (new to the area) and DH is contributing YEAH, what's not to like?

3 - Although her evil scales showed no weight loss this week (various reasons I think I know) there was no gain which is great!

4 - Lovely fish soup for lunch, DS and DH complimented me on it!

5 - Long hot shower followed by application of posh creams, which is nice as normally during the week I do not have the time to look after myself in full leisure.

Hope you all have a good weekend x
