    Morning all,

    1. Having a donut for breakfast, with a lovely cup of tea.
    2. Seeing a second recycling bin filling up quick (so a bit like the football scores... recycling bags: 2 rubbish bag: 1
    3. That today is not a work day.
    4. Using the freebie/gift with purchase face cream from Marie Claire
    5. Switching off un-used lights and appliances (the leccy bill is out of control) and becoming like that man in the advert.

    Happy St Davids Day!

    Morning all - on a wet,windy and dreary St.Davids Day here!
    My blessings for yesterday:
    1. A lie in and DH bringing me a cuppa in bed.
    2. DH taking me out for coffee - may not be OS but very thoughtful gesture,much appreciated.
    3. Seeing a park covered in a carpet of purple crocus and snowdrops - absolutely beautiful.
    4. DD inviting us for coffee and cake in the afternoon,so an unexpected hour with 2 scrumtious GDS.
    5. DS and DGS noticing us turn into carpark in town and coming to find us to say 'hello' - feel very lucky that they chose to do that.

    Finally - Sparrer - where are you? Just as concerned as everyone else, just not savvy enough to do all the fancy waving etc!!

    1) Despite last month being very tight financially I didn't go into my overdraft.
    2) I've just read a book called St Agnes' Stand by Thomas Eidson, not the sort of book I usually read, but I really enjoyed it.
    3)The Minder & I spent a lot of time in the garden today as it was sunny.
    4)I've managed to dry 4 loads of washing on the line this weekend.
    5) I've taken 6 carrier bags of stuff out of my spare room & put them in the boot of my car, I know people at work who will want them. If

    Never let success go to your head, never let failure go to your heart.

    Probably best not to have posted this on Flylady as the only thing I got done was to clean my car inside and out, and that was done by a car wash firm so not very MSE :eek:

    Off to bed in a min, busy day tomorrow!!
