My rads on our adjoining wall are now cardboarded, polystyrened and foiled behind so she gets none of my heat :rotfl: :T :rotfl:

LMAO :rotfl: :rotfl:

1. Having old fashioned bubble and squeak using the leftovers (reminds me of my Mum - not the leftovers, the bubble and squeak bit)
2. Getting a vintage pair of earrings off e-bay which I paid pennies for (any post really and I'm happy)
3. Seeing all the birdies waiting for me to feed them outside
4. Finding out what a mess my old job's in because management have cocked up big time
5. Counting my change in my piggy banks and having £78 to bank into my new savings account with the co-op :T

And tonight is a needlework abd bath'n' book night (not all at the same time, obviously not that would be silly) - I'm well on the way to finishing Celtic Autumn as I'm on the border now. What shall I do next - oooh time for a rummage in the suitcase of delights!

I have had a delightful day of OS pleasures

1. Watched the birds eating from my homemade bird feeders - the children got the binoculers out to watch them but insisted on using them the wrong way round so despite their protests, I knew they couldn't see anything!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

2. Went to the library for books for us all

3. Took the children apple picking at a very kind 'freecycler's garden and came back with lots and lots of tasty apples

1. Having a surprise visit from DS and my grand daughter this morning.

2. Having a lovely fish and chips with mushy peas, lunch with OH, in a pub.

3. Buying a luxury faux fur throw for the sofa for half price.

4. Finding a big pork hock in Morrisons for £1.67. One for the slow cooker.

5. Snuggling on the new throw on the sofa and watching telly.

I've been at work all day so I didn't expect to be able to post on the thread today although I always read it. Then I gave it a bit more thought & I have LOTS to share;
1. A glorious sunrise as I drove to work made me smile.
2. I had a lunchtime meeting & they provided a really nice FREE buffet lunch.
3. HM salmon fishcakes for dinner (previously made & frozen) & HM wedges.
4. I am one of the winners of the love food hate waste giveaway. WOW!
5. Last but by no means least - a lovely cuddle with DH before we got up this morning.
This thread is fantastic it really makes me think of the positive things in a long working day.

Hi all

Here are mine:

1 - Inviting my friend (who has just finished her last course of chemotherapy) out to lunch and finding a very good bargain (pizza and 1/2 pint beer for £5.95) in a pizzeria/microbrewery local to me.

2 - Going with above friend to a new knitters meeting at the Reminiscence Centre and knitting with a group of very pleasant women.

3 - Drinking tea and eating HM cake at above meeting

4 - Coming back home and finding that my DS has painted the new front gate (at the promised cost of £10, which saves me £30 from what the builders had quoted us!).

5 - Cooking enough potatoes and veg so that tomorrow morning I can treat myself to bubble and squeak with fried egg.

Love this thread, it is always so positive!

Good night all

Morning !
1. Waking up to another sunny day so heating can stay off.
2. Watching squirrels chasing each other around the garden.
3. Rare visit from a black & white spotted woodpecker.
4. Friendly chat with passing neighbour as I was putting the recyling bin out.
5. Laughing with our window cleaner who had just had a new customer enquiry come through his wesite onto his mobile phone e-mail because the customer was enquiring from Massachusetts in USA ! He said he'd do the job if the customer would pay the air fares !!

And it's only 10 a.m. Reckon this thread should be compulsory viewing in these difficult times.
