Haven't done this for a week or two...so here goes...
1. DD1 giving me a playschool photo of DGS5 on the first day of wearing his new glasses...he's only 3 and such a round happy smiling face beaming down on me from the kitchen dresser every time I look up

2. Picking up DGS7 out of his pram after he woke up and been given the biggest smile and was kicking his legs like a little frog...bless

3. Looking at DGD1 in her 'gear' ready to go to her ballet and tap lessons.

4. Actually managing to get done alot of the things on my FlyLady list for this week!

Good evening all

Here are my 5 today:

1 - Back to yoga class after what seems ages, since before I went to Italy. Very stiff but managed most of it!

2 - Pan of kidney bean cooked and ready for dinner, with spares to freeze!

3 - Knitting session at the Reminiscence centre in Blackheath with my good friend.

4 - My friend's hair is growing back nicely after chemo and she looks and feels so well, I am delighted for her.

5 - Managed to grate the last of the pecorino cheese (precious, the real mccoy from Sardinia!) from the last crust, on my rice and peas soup - delicious!

Good night all

I love this thread

1. waking up at 11am and realising that my lovely OH had got up at 7am, got dd ready for school, taken her to school, and done both children's breakfasts, and looked after ds, keeping him quiet so as not to wake me! he even made me a lovely cuppa as soon as i climbed outta my pit lol

2. me and ds eating the last of twinks' hobnobs this afternoon, that i made at 1.30am this morning

3. making pies (with h/m pastry) from the leftover veggie mince & sausage mix i made yesterday - bloomin nice they were too

4. making plum crumble with a bag of stewed plum from the freezer, which were collected in the summer from our plum trees

5. doing an inventory of our 2 freezers, fridge, and cupboards, and realising we have enough meals to last us for a very long time (even if we still need to get things like milk etc, it's still going to save us a fortune )

i have plenty more, but will add them on tomorrow if i haven't got enough for tomorrow lol

Um...

1. Going for a walk in the rain at lunch
2. HM chicken soup for lunch
3. The slow cooker will have cooked tea for us by the time we get home from work
4. Chicken in the fridge ready for roasting tomorrow (favourite meal).
5. Buying a next watch for £4 on ebay (ex display - so slightly scratched).

hi all!

1. taking CASH out of the bank today to last for the rest of the month, knowing that the only thing being paid for on the (debit) card will be petrol (fate allowing, obviously!)

2. making snowman soups

3. knowing that OH's working his socks off right now to give us a better future

4. putting a warm dressing gown on later this evening, and snuggling under the duvet on the sofa, waiting for OH to come home from work

5. making MORE twinks hobnobs in a while

Oh Beki, please do tell, what's snowmans soup?

I really love this thread, it is so good for me to pause at the end of my day and find five gratitudes!

Anyway here we go for today:

1 - Going to a Pilates class for the Over 50s after so long time and still find it run by the lovely lady who run it when I used to be a regular (which I hope to become again).

2 - A nice no-fuss lunch of tinned mackerel, avocado and oatcakes, filling healthy and nutritious and no need to cook!

3 - The lovely and unexpected visit of my friend who popped in to return an umbrella I had forgotten in her car and stopped for tea and toast with honey

4 - The anticipation of tomorrow's Blackheath OS meeting, can't wait, I am so excited!

5 - Planned dinner: root veg and squash stew with dumplings (if I have self raising flour) or with millet (if I don't). I LOVE squash!

Good night all!

Good evening all!

Hot buttered toast and tea for breakfast and homemade beef and veg soup for lunch.

Talking to DD 3 times on the phone today. I miss her badly since she flew the coop!

Cleaning all the worktops and tiles in the kitchen and making room for my new breadmaker.

Tidying the mantlepiece, dusting and polishing it, cleaning and packing away all the clutter into a box for the loft, in preparation for the Christmas decorations.

Pork chops and roasties in the oven and an acorn squash on the hob, for our supper.

Here'smine for today

Didn't go to the supermarket today YEAH!!!
Sold 3 things on ebay I bought a long time ago with no intention of really wanting/wearing/using so v.happy about this
Had a nice day dream about getting a wood burning stove fitted, then woke up to the cost of it!
Came home to a nice SC beef stew
Alright I'm not that pious at all - bought a secondhand wardrobe off ebay for my bedroom which I've wanted one for ages off someone local, can't wait to get this and get organised and get rid of one of the 1960's one in the spare room.

Nice time since I've come home but rubbish atwork as had to pack my place of work up today as we closed and moved to new place 12 miles further to travel each day in much worse traffic - retendering eh? The decisions of commissioners, no idea about how it affects those who do the job
