My pleasures for today have been
1) walking DGS to the lock to watch the boats going through
2) walking DGS further along the river to feed the swans
3) chasing DGS round a big field
4) stopping at the park with DGS to find another 3 year old there & they played so well together.
5) stripping & remaking the beds while DGS bounced on them & played hide & seek in the bedding, 'DGS saying these smell nice nana' about my line dried bedding.

1 Watching the weather turn very gradually from grey and wet to warm and dry, knowing that i should be able to do my washing at the weekend - I have about 4-5 loads

2 Sitting on my back doorstep grading shallots into a) big enough for cooking, b) tiny, for use in HM piccallili, and c) medium size for pickled onions

3 Peeling said shallots to soak in brine to make pickled onions over the weekend, not the most pleasant job, but well worth the effort

4 DH coming home for lunch with colleague, and cooking home grown bubble and squeak with home produced eggs

5 Knowing that my house is not only clean and tidy, but much more organised thanks to Flylady

Well here are my 5 for today

1) getting hubbies uniform washed, out on the line and back in and folded again in under 2 hours:T

2) nipping to the loo and realising that whilst i was up there it would only take 5 minutes and a micro cloth to make it all lovely and gleaming again... and that included giving the window a going over-inside and out!!! not a whole morning and heaven knows how many chemicals -which was what i was like before finding this site

3) Hubby washing tea pots, drying, putting them away and then wipping around the kitchen and making sure everything is lovely n tidy...and all that without a word from me :j

4) Having a big pan of peas soaking ready to cook tommorrow... mmmm i could live on em:D

5) knowing that all my jobs are done for this week and i have no washing or anything to do so if i want to i can sit on my bum all weekend x stitching :j
ooohhh and im gonna sneak a 6th one in .... having lost another 1.7kilo this week.... which im sure is down to a combination of cooking everything from scratch and doing more housework little n often.... beats the gym anyday:D

1. Home made yoghurt for breakfast and home made lunch taken to work

2. 3 washer loads all dried on the line, folded and ready to put away

3. Packed bags ready to go to in-laws for a weekend of free (to us) eating/showering etc :j

4. tied up own-grown tomatoes and eyed up all the little ones ready to ripen :T

5. Tea fully serviced from freezer supplied - result!

If I can throw in a bonus one.. came home for OH to tell me had done sinks with bicarb/vinegar without being prompted! Wow! :rotfl:
