Five OS Pleasures in your day today

Caterina

I think people should ALWAYS pick money in the street, even 1p (except when they are off the pavement and in the path of an incoming bus - I did it and nearly got beheaded!).

If anyone turns up their nose at the little pennies or, even worse, feels embarrassed about picking them up, the Universe gets a signal that this person is not interested in abundance and treats them accordingly.

I always say Thank You when I pick a coin in the street. My best find was £80 in a car park!

Sometimes I find myself walking on the pavement and moping about something or the other finance-related ("fear of poverty" thoughts) and invariably I seem to find a little coin or two, it is like a signal from the Universe/Divine Providence that I shall always be provided for, and it stops me moping!

Hope I don't sound too much like the ageing hippy (that I am! hehehe)

Reverbe, please don't stop posting. All your freebies intrigue me so much and as for your finds in the street, well I'm so impressed.

1. Catching up with the ironing.

2. Cold beef and salad at lunchtime reminded me that I am getting 12 servings from the £6 (whoopsied) joint of beef we had on Sunday.

3. Free craft demonstration this afternoon, lots of tips and hints to keep me busy for a while.

4. Free coffee and biscuit at demo.

5. DH was on the bus I caught home. I so often travel alone.

Bella.

I might stop doing this as all mine seem to be freebie based rather than people who post about families and friends and therefore mine are dull and shallow.

Don't stop posting Reverbe I enjoy reading your posts too & miss you when you're not around. I was only saying the other day on the OS Daily that I hadn't 'seen' you. I have taken out the freebies so that you can see how many blessings you find in each & every day. Everybody's are different & some days its the simple things that we enjoy, like a cup of tea, and other days its something 'bigger' like a long lost relative phoning. I only said that my cousin had rang if you noticed, I didn't put that I came off the phone & decided he was as annoying as he ever was although it was nice to catch up on the family gossip :rotfl: Keep posting!!!!!!

Helloooo again My 5 for today are:

1. Sunshine, lovely sunshine today

2. Making some spicy lentil soup for lunch - so cheap but so tasty, plus there's some left for tomorrow.

3. Getting everything on my list done today.

4. Getting a text from DS2 at lunchtime to say 'Hi' - he usually only texts to let me know that he won't be home for tea on nights when he thinks I'm serving 'poison'/stuff he doesn't like :rolleyes: to him.

5. Our old Labrador (14yrs) getting up this morning, when I came down, to say hello.

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for the kind wishes, makes me feel so blessed.
Reverbe I am another one who enjoys your posts, please don't stop.

My five for today.

1. Weaving lesson with an elderly neighbour, he is so kind to be generous enough to pass his skills and knowledge to me.

2. Made a large batch of grape jelly.

3. Went out to dinner with OH, we will be housebound for a couple of months as I don't drive and he won't be able to (and we live in a remote village) so we are busy enjoying restaurant life while we can.

4. The peaches are ripe and I plan to make peach nectar.

5. Its very cold and windy here, but there is a cricket ODI this afternoon, so I plan to curl up in front of the TV with a hot cuppa and "chill"

Blessings be

Jennie

I've really enjoyed reading all the posts today, thank you everybody for showing me all the pleasures there are in so many different ways..

Tuesday blessings...

1. Waking early to see the rain stop and the sun come out. Everything looked so fresh and clean, and the raindrops were sparkling on the window. So pretty!

2. Saw my doc who was happy with my peak flow and oxygen levels, made me feel better just to think they were good today. Spoke to him about nebulisers (my current one is far to bulky to take away), he told me I can buy a lightweight one for holiday use. Afterwards I went to the chemist who has them at £130 :eek: ! However I did a search and found one on line for £35 , exactly the make the doc recommended brand new and fully guaranteed

3. Went to the charity shop to see if they had any boxed games for DGC, and found a beautiful silky robe, just right for the summer. Oh, I did find a game too

4. Trying to declutter, I advertised a 1950's sewing stool and sold it for the asking price. The lady who bought it is doing her house up in 50's style and said it's just what she wanted.

5. Speaking to DM on the phone this evening..it's always such a pleasure as we do laugh a lot during our daily phone calls, and when get together

Night night, sweet dreams x
