Five OS Pleasures in your day today

Caterina

Hi all,

Unusual for me these days, I am online in the morning (tut-tut hehhehehe) but I managed to do some work, which is nice because it is out of the way for the day and I can spend the rest of the day doing other things!

2. Another fine day which I mustn't 'waste' as I did yesterday (shopping, the park then tea with DNeighbour and her DD). The garden is a miniature jungle, how does it happen overnight?! I shall enjoy mowing, weeding, then sitting with a cup of tea and admiring what I've managed to do so far...

Sparrer, that day sounds to me so NOT wasted, but enjoyed to the full!

BigMummaF, I am sorry to hear that you have not been able to get a lot of pleasures lately, and glad you got some yesterday at last - wonderful news re. your first breast scan!

ampersand, how lovely that you get soooo many pleasures, that's great!

Anyway, here are my pleasures for today (so far):

1 - Tea in bed courtesy of DH, isn't he sweet, he always does this for me in the morning even though he is rushed to go to work. I am so grateful for his kindness!

2 - Followed by two slices of toast with M&S rhubarb and ginger conserve (courtesy of myself:p), also in bed, with a nice mag to read.

3 - Managed to do all my paid work for the day and savouring the leisurely time doing the housework at a relaxed pace, got to do another load of laundry since the sun is out and a bit of tidying up here and there but not much else (well, not much else that I WANT to tackle!:rotfl:).

4 - Planning a workout in the park.

5 - Going to visit an old friend (old as in age as well as time known) who needs a lot of support, together with a woman from a voluntary advocacy agency. It is always good to see her and I hope that she will accept some help, but in any case I shall be there for her.

6 - Anticipating the pleasure of eating leftover broad bean and mushroom risotto with saffron, from last night - might even make and fry rice balls if I feel adventurous enough!

Bye all, hope you have a splendid day

Hello, I'm a newbie but I like this idea of this thread - hope you don't mind me joining in...

1 - making one roast chicken stretch to three dinners
2 - finding out I can eat the tops of the onions off my allotment making them go twice as far
3 - sorting out some books for Book Crossing - thinking of leaving a few in Heathrow on Sunday

Good afternoon everyone. I'm on early today too as I'm having a 15min mess on the computer before the starving hoardes (the children ) arrive home.

My five for today are:

1. I read the paper this morning in full :T I don't usually have the time so it was nice.

2. Washing loads x 3 dried on the line before the rain started half an hour ago.

3. A library trip over lunchtime with my best friend. I can't wait to have an early bath, put my jammies on & start reading.

4. A nice natter with my friend in the gardens next door to the library. We sat on a bench surrounded by beautiful & artfully planted things - credit where it's due to the local council.

5. Looking forward to watching Big Brother tonight I can't help it I love it :rotfl:

I hope that everyone else has had an enjoyable day too xx

4. Getting help on here for my car overheating issues and working out exactly what bit I need to get to sort it out thanks all, saved me a trip to a garage

Something else gone on it now - something much worse - so two things to fix

Pleasures of the day:

1. Finding out I had £5 worth of nectar points to take of my sainsbugs shop meaning I will now have £15, instead of £10 for food for the next 10 days.

2. Getting apples and carrots reduced (yellow sticker) in sainsbugs.

3. The good food weight watchers soup (that I had all the ingredients for in the cupboard) tasting much better than I thought (for an easy 20 minute soup!!) - and having 3 more portions of it in the freezer for lunches.

4. The frozen sweet black cherries from the freezer.
