2. Crocheting another 4 squares for blanket - only 8 to go!
3. Progress on shopping tote I'm making at weaving class.
4. HM pizza with hm mozzarella topping.
5.Having a big cuddle with my neurotic dog - previous owner abused it terribly, now dh and I are the only people in the world it trusts.
Have a wonderful day

Feeling a bit blue today so,

1. The sun is shining and it's a lovely cold crisp morning - my favourite

2. Having a cuddle with OH this morning

3. Knowing we have food even though I don't know what day we'll get paid (varies every month :rolleyes:)

4. Putting HM muffins in the kid's lunch box.

5. HM Butterbean soup for my lunch.


Ps - I've always fancied having a go at spinning wool

Spinning is great, very relaxing and you end up with a product that is 100% wool at a fraction of the purchased cost.
So my 5 for today are:
1. More spinning for blanket.
2. Crochet another 4 squares - nearly finished.
3. attending beginners Tai Chi course in the village hall.
4. Making hm pastry for dinner - Cornish pasties OH's favourite
5. Taking dog down to the beach for a long walk!

Just need to make a reconnection though perhaps it's not really via 5 OS things:

1) had a no spend day cos of intense training over 3 days
2) had cooked 3 days of food before hand so no cooking, only heating
3) went early to bed so no use of electricity for evening entertainment
.... struggling now and could well make the next 2 things up
4) no housework so didn't dirty cleaning clothes or fill up the vacuum bag
5) added to the recycling bag with the empty bottle from the medicinal comsumption of wine to ease the frayed nerves

:beer::beer:

No sense is better than nonsense????

Mmmm leek and potato soup... will have to make some.

1. Writing next week's meal plan.

2. Planning what's easy to make to feed the kids for Sat when me and OH are out at a posh dinner dance (in a MSE style borrowed outfit). (Will feed them before we leave and tidy up when we get back ).

3. The sun shining.

4. Payday!!!

5. Knowing there's still gas and electric money on the pre-meters (and a bit more in the bank) even though it's only just payday (taken ages to sort the budget so there's money left at the end of the month and my solution seems to be several separate bank accounts).
