Five OS Pleasures in your day today

thriftlady_2

1) Hanging out the washing. It's a lovely sunny autumn day here.

2) Putting my shopping away -I know pathetic isn't it? But I like that feeling of having full cupboards.

3)Doing the Enigma puzzle in the Radio Times -my favourite puzzle and completing it in half the target time:D

4)Not spending all my money this week.

5)Finding a lovely pair of Per Una cords in my wardrobe that I had completely forgotten I owned. This is all due to the fact that I've been without a washing machine for a few days and was running out of clothes -I just wear the same old thing day in day out. I'm going to have a proper sort out now and see what else I can find.

Making a casserole in half an hour in the pressure cooker.
Taking a pudding from the microwave made of leftover bread and smelling divine.
Taking a walk to the river and watching the world go by.
Pre preparing the meals for the next couple of days and knowing I can relax.
Having a hot bath and then sitting reading a book with a brandy hot chocolate!

Buying a pair of jeans for each of my two Grandsons and a top for my Granddaughter from what I had left over from this weeks houskeeping money!OK only cheapie ones but still a lovely feeling.

All washing line dried and folded.

Four lamb chops bought, marked down from 4.80 to 70p.( How the heck do they decide how much to mark things down?)

Grandaughters school trousers repaired and looking good. Proud of that one as needles, thread and I do not normally get on together very well.

Noticing some more runner beans to pick in the garden, really thought we had,had the last of them as we have been picking, eating and freezing them since June.

Today's Five:-

1. Waking up to condesation on the windows and opening them wide to
clear it instead of putting the heating on - it worked!

2. Line drying the washing again in October - wonderful!

3. Walking to the shops with my wally trolley in beautiful autumn sunshine.

4. Making cakes in the remoska and not having to put the oven on.

5. Making 7 portions of soup with the languishing veg, only thing in there
that I actually bought for it was 1 sweet potato.

My five for the day are

1 Getting three loads of laundry through the machine and onto airers (and managing to see the bottom of my laundry basket, granted I filled it back up again, but I saw it!)

2 Opening all the house windows first thing in the morning and putting my gorgeous shawl on coz the air still had nip, was very cozy.

3 Making up two batches of chilli (one with kidney beans and one without) and oh ringing to say he'd spontaneously bought tortillas.

4 Getting an extra three quarters of an hour at home before work, coz mum picked me up.

5 The knowledge that I could have slobbed aroung all day if I'd've wanted too, but chose to do things that would make me feel like I'd done something with the day.
