Five OS Pleasures in your day today

newlywed

Here's mine:-

1. Doing a clothes swap with my sister as we are similar size but not quite She gave me back a nice black jacket I gave her some years back and I gave her two pairs of trousers. Both happy

2. HM butternut squash soup yesterday (forgot to bring lunch today )

3. Having a good night's sleep after being to Chiro - always seems to make me sleep better.

4. My car running really smoothly after it had been given some much needed attention - remembered how it can be nice to drive.

5. Rearranging the kitchen worktops and creating more worktop space for baking etc by taking the huge old George Formby to the recycling centre and moving the other bits around Also moving the knife block and chopping boards to where I usually prepare food, instead of being on the opposite side of the room.

6. Planning what can be moved/recycled next

7. Having paid off 1/3 of my debt as from this month.

Hi all

Olliebeak, hope you get well soon, I know how annoying cough is, it is really tiring after a while.

Here are my five for the day:

1 - Started pattern cutting course, although much more expensive than an adult educ. class it is a one-to-one teaching and I am learning so much more, so it is much more cost effective!

2 - Soup lunch at the local church (and stayed for Lent group which also was very interesting).

3 - Local library lent me the electricity monitoring gadget, going to check how much we are consuming so I can try and save more energy.

4 - The leftovers from last night dinner (with a friend from the OS forum and her DH - hi, you know who you are, it was great to have you around, let's do it again soon!) are going to be stretched with some potatoes, carrots, more rice into a nice all-in soup for tonight family dinner.

5 - Invite in the post from the Independent (which we subscribe to because of the £100 M&S vouchers offer) to join them at the Tate Modern and will be able to see one of their exhibitions for free with this invite.

Off to do some work now, have a great day all! xxx

Hello all - been awol in job hunting hell!
Mine for today (and yesterday, scraping the upbeat barrel at the moment!)
1. Excellent choir rehearsal last night, such a friendly and welcoming bunch and I feel like my singing is really improving working with them.
2. Beautiful sunshine this morning - despite the snow which followed this afternoon.
3. Being told at my interview/presentation today that I was excellent and did myself proud (a direct quote from the panel there folks, not wishing to blow my old trumpet but frankly my self esteem could do with a boost at the moment!)
4. OH coming home with 1/2 price salmon and nice wine - OS and considerate, he is such a treasure and right at the top of my blessings list.
5. We're off to Cornwall for our wedding anniversary in April via the sleeper train, a most bargainous and eco friendly trip.
6. Getting the Lonely Planet guide to devon and cornwall from the library and planning our trip. Especially good as we couldn't find it in the book shop.
7. Getting another exciting veg box - it is exciting as my Christmas stocking to me!
Large squishy hugs to all!

Good to see you back sparrer, but so sorry to hear you have been so poorly.
My blessings for yesterday and today:

2. Playing with DGD and feeling so lucky to not have to work and miss out on such fun.
3. Huge smile from DGD2 when she found out we are going away with them at Easter.
4. Sitting in the conservatory in the sunshine today doing some x stitching.
5. Watching an amazing snowstorm half hour before the sunshine!
6. Making big pans of soup with whoopsie buy vegetables.

Well, I have sent her a text which was eventually delivered (got report back saying it had been received) and have rung her home number - but have heard nothing

I hope she's ok and hasn't had to dash off to France due her friend becoming ill again
