Hi.

1. A lovely mild day here, no heating required.:D

2. My FREE Autumn Bliss raspberry canes which I sent for from a magazine came this morning.:T

3. My raspberry canes are now planted in the garden.:T :T :T

I'm afraid that is where my pleasures for today will have to end as I have done my back in and the sciatica which I grappled with for months and had just got on top of is now back.:eek: :eek: :eek:

Some people never learn, do they?:rolleyes:

Bella.

Again it has taken me a few days to gather 5 pleasures, but here they are.

1) Receiving a gift of some wool from another MSE'er.
2) Being loaned a pair of knitting needles by a workmate as I don't have the right size.
3) Being complimented on the blouse I was wearing to work & realising it was a 40th birthday gift (17 years ago!!)
4) Finally finishing knitting a pair of socks for hubby.
5) Being sent some new pics of DGD & DGS.

Hello

Here's a few days' worth..

1. Mr S delivering 4 packs of Jarlsberg when I'd only ordered and paid for 2. Didn't bother ringing them as I know from previous times, that they won't take back refrigerated stuff.

2. My seeds arriving. It's going to be potatoes, sweetcorn, broad beans, peppers, rocket, courgettes, tomatoes.

3. Thinking about what seeds I have left over from last year - salad leaves, squash, beetroot, spring onion, peas, runner beans, french beans.

4. Dear friend and her children will be arriving for the weekend on Saturday.

5. Friends coming for dinner tomorrow.

Hello everyone. Just been reading your posts for a few days and not contributing at all. Bella, I do hope your back is feeling better soon. Reverbe, I also never fail to laugh when the giggling babies come on the cow and gate ad - just thinking about them make me smile. My five for today are
1 Dearest sister, who is a hairdresser, cutting my hair this morning and making a lovely job as always
2 DH taking me for a surprise shopping trip this evening
3 My 80 year old mum being so pleased when I printed and framed a photo of her with her youngest great grandchild, whom she does not see anymore
4 Losing half a pound at SW after having a birthday tea for my DD at Nando's
5 Looking at the photos of my darling great nephews and great nieces as I write my blessings of the day
Sleep tight everyone. God bless

First time on this thread:-

1) Lovely hugs from Bfriend, who popped in today as a supprise.
2) Collecting some airers off freecycle, which means I will not be so dependant on my dryer.
3) Washing the bin liner of clothes I have swapped with a friend at work - so now we both have new wardrobes to wear.
4) About to start my next book to read - again another book swap from work.
5) Batch made a dozen hm dinners for the baby for the freezer. He has never been given a jar - and I'm really proud of that.

Hi all
My 5 for today are;

1) Taking advantage of the windy weather & getting 2 loads of washing dry
2) Getting a basketful of ironing done whilst my ds watched a dvd
3) Doing the Hokey Cokey at playgroup with ds
4) Cuddling up with ds under a blanket on the couch & having an afternoon nap together (I think the dancing at playgroup wore us out!!)
5) Watching the new series of Skins on E4 - I like to at least feel like Im gettin down with the kids :rotfl:

Five pleasures for Thursday:

1. Good phone call with a friend that I hadn't spoken to in ages.

2. Collecting our organic food order delivery from my sister's and discovering that my 4 yr old neice had built herself a lovely house with all the other people's packages that had been delivered. They'll have a battle on their hands to get them off her

3. Having veggie sausages (from the food order), beans and salad for a quick supper.

4. Curling up on the sofa with DS1 who has a flu/cold bug and wanted lots of cuddles. At his age he doesn't usually want long cuddles from me anymore so it's a treat whan he does (wish he wasn't poorly though).

5. Watching The Victorian Farm again. I like the slowness of it all.

Am about to set my timer for 15 mins to do a Flylady blitz on the downstairs of the house, make a cuppa, then get a bit more work done before bed. Night all x

Reverbe

1. free sample of aloe face cream

2. HM soup for lunch again - chicken and veg and i STILL have some left

3. leftover fish and chips for lunch.

4. washing again the jeans I found in the communal bins as last time I washed them they dried rock hard - they do fit and look brand new so now I can save my Levis for best

5. getting a lovely tapestry craft bag off Ebay to transport my knitting - thos some bidder whanged the price up for £1 when I first bid to £4.70 plus postage- luckily I had £4.60 in credit in my paypal I didnt know bout so it only cost me about £1.35

6. sausage sandwich for dinner with LO pork, apple and cranberry sausages

7. ploughing thru more of my book club book and getting nearer to the end and also reading some more of my book on Treblinka which i found light relief(!) after the congo one.

8. knowing I will be wearing my Gap wooly dress I havent worn in months for my agency interview tomorrow.

9. hot mug of tea and MSE

10. the prospect of clean brand new PJs from Primark for bed tonight - turquoise with blue and turquoise and white dancing monkeys on

11. The feel of soft hankies - loving what those salt crystals do
