Reverbe - sorry to hear you are having such a rough time at the moment. Try to stay positive even though it may seem everything is against you just now.

My pleasures for today:

1. Watching 5yr old dgd whizz round the computer keyboard!
2. Reading stories and playing games with her whilst baby had a nap.
3. Family being here for lunch of hm soup and cakes and us all chatting and laughing together.
4. Feeling very grateful to be cosy,warm and with loved ones when it is so bitterly cold outside.
5. The peace and quiet when they had all left this afternoon!!

I dont have xxxxxxxxxxxx or friends,

No friends? Oh yes you have! :A

Sunday blessings..

1. Knowing that no matter how down we get there's a host of friends here who care and are always ready to post notes of support when the need arises. That goodness for MSE!

2. Gave the cooker another clean, now it's really like new. Brilliant product DD recommended, best I've used in all my xx years of cleaning ovens (not that I do it very often or I wouldn't have had to buy a packet of the gloop in the first place!)

3. YS cheese turnovers with veg and jackets for dinner, and no-one said a word about there not being a roast...I think that they think all my MS-ing has driven me over the edge at last :rotfl:

4. Bought 6 pints of whole milk and diluted it 50/50, so 12 pints of ss now in the freezer. No-one has complained about that either, I do it when they're all out

5. Looking out of the window and thanking MSE that I don't have to go out this week. I've enough food in for a week or two which I doubt I'd have done if it weren't for all the advice/suggestions in the forums.

I've been fighting a lousy cold for a few days - but it appears to be on its way out now (fingers crossed). I love being able to read other people's blessings - hugs for folks who aren't well or struggling and especially for (((reverbe))).

1. Being able to re-read two favourite books recently while snuggled under a fleece blanket on the sofa.
2. Went through my old Asda mags removing all the recipes that I liked the look of. Copied them into 'My Recipes Folder' on the comp. 14 magazines now removed from tea-towel drawer and into recycling bin. The drawer can now finally close properly .
3. Made a lovely Lemon Drizzle Cake and a Rich Fruit Cake this morning.
4. Roast Chicken dinner for this evening's meal with loads left-over for other dishes.
5. Lots of left-over mash - to be frozen for making tuna fishcakes later in the week.
6. Phone call from 'yankee cousin' - really good to hear from her and had a lovely long chat. Not been able to go to see her for nearly 8 years, but maybe with a little more help from mse - it could just be a possibility later this year . Two of her adult kids have just had their jobs fold from under them, so she's feeling worried about them.
7. Grateful to still be in employment. Oh hum - back to work in the morning!!
8. Swig of cough mixture, followed by bed and a hot toddy :drool: in a few minutes!

Nitey nite all!

Morning all from a very snowy Essex!

My 5 pleasures are all rolled into one today - DD AND DS SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED AND WE CAN ALL GO AND THROW SNOWBALLS AND BUILD SNOWMEN:j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

Thick snow here too and still coming down. . Oh for the joy of being retired and not having to battle along dangerous roads to get to work! But the poor birds are looking desperately confused and hungry. As soon as I clear a patch of ground to feed them it gets covered with snow again. Losing battle!
