Five OS Pleasures in your day today

tomtombeanie

hello i'm a new poster to this thread - find the posts so encouraging! my thoughts are with you & your OH kiwiblue. xx

not sure if i'll get to posting my 5 every day but i'll see how i get on. for today:

1. having a lie in to read another chapter of the alan carr book i was given for christmas
2. helping DS1 write thank you cards for christmas pressies
3. HM tomato and carrot soup for lunch, with some slightly stale but alright bread to mop it up
4. making HM macaroni cheese for tonight to use up the bacon about to go out of date & the over-ripe tomatoes layered on the top
5. free afternoon of entertainment for this kids (and the OH!) watching films that we recorded from BBC1 over the christmas period - bitterly cold here so didn't fancy a blast out to the park today.

keep warm and happy. really nice thought that the days are getting a wee bit longer every day!

Sorry to hear that Kiwiblue, best wishes to you and OH.
Here goes with the OS pleasures'
1. Getting another walk in over the hills before it got dark, the beautiful views remind me why we moved here
2. Cudling up with the cat and giving her a good brush so she stops shedding her entire body weight in hair over our sofa!
3. Looking foward to our farm shop sausages which OH is currently cooking.
4. Looking foward to a slice of apple meringue pie made with leftover pastry, leftover egg whites and apples from PIL garden.
5. Taking the tree down and getting all the living room and kitchen spick and span after what seems like weeks of Christmas socialising! (and the accompanying mess)

Hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing and OS Sunday!

My best wishes to Kiwiblue and OH also.

1. Enjoying the leftover chilli from the fridge with my OH- until recently he was neither a fan of chilli or leftovers. Tonight he thoroughly enjoyed it.

2.Making delicous parsnip and honey soup for dinners later in the week when I am working late.

3.Having a bonus evening to spend with my OH this week as one of his nights has been replaced with a day.

4.Planning on enjoying a long bath with my book [EMAIL="I@ve"]I've[/EMAIL] nearly finished

5.Giving away the George Foreman grill that we never use on Freecycle and hearing from the recipient how pleased they are with it.

That's me for today x
