Five OS Pleasures in your day today

parsonswife8

Mine for today are:-

1. A lovely steaming bowl of porridge in bed, together with a nice mug of tea.

2. Watching the squirrel swing on the birdfeeder and eating the fatballs. We got 8 for 99p at the 99p shop, so let him have some.

3. Making a lovely salad with young spinach leaves, sliced mango, shredded left over duck breasts, thinly sliced radish and cucumber, sliced spring onion and sliced bits of red chilli, topped with some mango and chilli sauce. It was delish!

4. Making duck soup from the duck carcass and some celery, carrots and leeks and will chuck some sliced green cabbage and some noodles in as well.

5. Watching Scotland playing South Africa rugby on telly and looking forward to watching Srictly Come Dancing and Merlin later on and not having to make any supper as the salad was so filling.

Mine for today are:

1. A bowl of homemade porridge and raisins for breakfast (bag of oatmeal for 99p which will do about 16 - 18 servings)

2. Getting 4 loads of washing done and dried outside - no need for the tumble drier to go on. In November ?!

3. DH cleaning the cars at the house rather than spend nearly £10 at the garage to get them done.

4. Having two ready meals (Thai Curry) bought in the RTC section for 10 p each for our tea tonight

5. Taking the dog for a walk just before it got dark - good free exercise for us all

Here's mine today

1. Shopping only for storecupboard basics
2. Having no idea what kind of burger I pulled out of the freezer for tea
3. Buying dried butterbeans for the first time ever
4. Having ten minutes to myself at the beach, and no one else was there.
5. Having far too many hm puds to choose from on a saturday night :T

Good Sunday to all of you!

Here are my five for the day:

1 - The renewed pleasure of waking up in my lovely bed near DH after all the days I have been away (after 3 days back I am still delighted to be back!)

2 - Breakfast in bed courtesy of DH, lovely granola bought yesterday at the Country Living Show (tickets won in a comp!) and cup of tea

3 - Hennaeing my hair for next to no money and resisting the impulse of going to the hairdresser (saving myself upwards of £60!)

4 - Looking in the garden and seeing that the veg plug plants are growing well - some salading almost ready to cut for garnish!

5 - Soon, getting ready to go to posh dinner event, costs a fortune but I am not paying as going as a MYSTERY SHOPPER with my DH! Yippee!!!

Ciao all :wave:

A bit late, but here is today's

1. put in the raspberries today. I know that was on yesterday's list, but I ended up making sloe chutney as I couldn't bear to throw out the sloes from the sloe gin!
2. filled the ericaceous end of my first raised bed in the front garden and put blueberry bushes in it (gooseberries/blackcurrants in the other end)
3. put some bluebells, crocuses and snowdrops into the raised bed, so that in spring when the bushes aren't doing anything much I can have spring bulbs to cheer me up
4. I'm making chichri tonight for the first time, so quite looking forward to seeing how that goes

2. getting a shower curtain for 50p (2 for 99p) makes the bathroom cleaner lighter happy house!!

4. digging out old cd's to listen to, and decide which really can be sold and not listened to again!
5. getting started on making string art pictures for xmas presents!

Hi everyone, back on line again after a few days away.
Mine for yesterday are:
1. Travelling through our beautiful country with Dh beside me.
2. Spending time talking through plans and ideas without interrruptions from the outside world.
3. Finding my favourite brand of coffee reduced by 50%
4. Coming home to a rapturous welcome by the assorted pets.
5. Making dinner at home instead of stopping en route for a meal, saving heaps of money by doing so.

Tesco do value oats for 59 p and so far they have kept me in Porridge 5 days a week for a month and one batch of biscuits and there is still a third of a pack left.
