Fifibonbon

Weird Monday, but one day closer to the weekend:)

5 for today

1. Started new module at Uni, nice group of people from lots of different backgrounds.
2. Free tea for whole family at the high school my DS will go to in Sept.
3. Checked up on finances, and although never a pleasure has made me more determined to face up to things. I don't want to spend my whole working life paying off debt. Time to grow up and take more control.
4. Big Hugs from DD at bedtime, always lovely.
5. Lovely walk with dog in evening sunshine.

Well done on doing/ planning to do the Moonwalk and Sunwalk. Did the Manchester Shine last year so know how hard it can feel. Lovely to think that going for a walk (even if it is a very long one) can make such a difference to people.:A

Evening all :wave:

It's been a very trying day....seems like everything I've tried to do has fallen apart :mad: It didn't help matters that the cars going to have to go back to the garage as they didn't fix it properly. Do they really think I'm stupid? Even I know that a diagnostic machine can't detect everything and I can tell when they've sprayed liberally with WD40 :mad::mad: I will not be fobbed off and if necessary I'll give them a lesson in the sale of goods act 1979! Never mind I shall perservere and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

1) Some new tops delivered....two out of the four fit nicely...two will be going back to the shop on Saturday
2) Chats with old friends on FB
3) Leftover home made stew for dinner....so an easy cook night
4) NSD
5) Nice relaxing bath

Hopefully you all had a good day

Evening

Carolyntia - Go get 'em girl, if I was your mechanic I would be afraid

Pleasures for today,
1. Everyone left the house with a packed lunch today and breakfast, start the week as mean to go on.
2. Managed to get some inspiration for Father's day for my dad and didn't break the bank. Plus used a code to order free personalized cards :money:
3. All of us in the garden for an hour clearing some more of the jungle, its getting there.
4. Easy tasty dinner of sausage and pasta soup
5. Sorting out some finances. Lady in the bank was trying to sell me different savings accounts but I'm on a higher interest rate than she could offer.

Hugs to all who need them

1. Completed a second stage interview at a potential job today [working and earning a wage has to be counted as MSE and OS, surely :P ]
2. Felt satisfaction at knowing that the mr ate a sandwich prepared by me today [and that there are currently 7 more in the freezer!]
3. Made us dinner from on-offer turkey with whoopsied piri piri marinade, a frugal sweetcorn pudding and spicy rice [which went down well]
4. Managing to not buy anything while through in town for said interview.
5. Receiving my water saving kit from northumbrian water Not sure how much of it we can use quite yet, but even the bits we might not have a use for here we may well do at our next place!

oh I do hope this posts! internet being very silly......it's now Tuesday here so Monday's pleasures:

1.I was up bright & early & enjoyed a bath!

2.My son's 16th birthday...when he eventually got up! A first without family/friends popping in but cards & cash still went down well!!

3.Dropped kids off at cinema whilst OH & I had a lovely (long) wander round huge shopping centre! Got a few bits & pieces for DD1's birthday as lots of shops had mid season sales! So nice things at great prices.

4.Very yummy (HUGE) piece of lemon meringue pie & a yummy hot chocolate for me & cappuccino for OH. Was very cheap.....but OH knew waitress so I think we must have got staff discount.......I am not complaining!

5.Home ......birthday cake .....which looked more candles than cake!.....had a lovely phonecall with one best friend in morning & another best friend at night!

A very good day, can't quite believe my son is that age sort of all of a sudden & I'm so glad it was a holiday to celebrate it!

Carolyntia - go for it! hate it when mechanics think they can pull the wool over our eyes, grrr.....

1. DD slept in my bed last night and was lovely and cuddly without being suffocating!
2. She made me breakfast this morning, bless her
3. Very busy but fun day at work
4. OH had a great medical appointment and is tired but very happy, as am I, I can't wait to see the end result of the treatment
5. Unexpectedly got to see OH this afternoon
6. Had a great time at my last college lesson - 2 weeks to the exam, gulp!

Frith

5 for today (Monday).

1) Took my mum to Hereford to look round the shops. Didn't see anything in the 2nd hand shops although they are usually really good ones.

2) Sons very jolly.

3) Did a roast dinner.

4) Went swimming with sons and my brother.

5) Sitting here now with the heater on, hot water bottle and about to listen to the radio on iplayer.

Bad news is that I managed to wrench my leg whilst having a water pistol fight with the boys so I now have a silly walk!

Evening all,

My five for Monday:

1. I got the delivery of some beautiful fabric I'd ordered. Everything was wrapped up in layers of tissue paper and the 'fat quarters' bundle was tied with very pretty ribbon too. It was fun to unwrap and absolutely everything - even the box it arrived in - is going to be used for something.

2. This inspired me to do another sort out of my fabric stash which now looks very business like.

3. DS1 kept interrupting me through the day with progress reports of how his essay was going. He'd started out quite fed up but as he chipped away at it it started getting better and better so each time he put his head round the door he was more and more pleased which was lovely.

4. Have managed to clear the fridge again ready for the veggies tomorrow. Another week of minimal food waste. :j

5. Really beautiful red streaked sky tonight. Hope it bodes well for tomorrow.

2. We had a bit of sunshine.
3. Saw a little bunny rabbit on the roundabout on the way home.
4. Had jambalaya for tea.
5. Watched a good film (Contact with Jodie Foster) with DH on the sofa. It was nice to see a film midweek - really made a nice change.
