Pleasures for today (Tuesday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) DfV's posts. It's easy to forget the little "triumphs" that we have day to day.
3) Hens OK.
4) Bigger son had a nice time out on his mountain bike.
5) Did many charity shops as I realised I have been wearing the same 3 t shirts and 2 pairs of jeans (in rotation) since the end of March. Found a Laura Ashley shirt and a White Stuff cardigan. They've both been washed so just hoping they fit, as you can't try them on.
6) Tasty tea of Lidl BBQ ribs with baked pots and carrots.
7) Watched the GBBO.
8) The man phoned about the Green Grant scheme and will be coming out next week.
9) Smaller son's solicitor emailed to say she is putting in the complaint about smaller son's EHCP. I had a read through and only had one sentence I wanted to add so I am sure it is fine.12 -
Jings! DFV ‘how are you’ I asked...’I’ll write a book’ you replied! Glad it’s just the right amount of crazy in the Dig household!A lovely day. I’m just about to head to bed, have just watched GBBO ( why do people need to interrupt me...had timed my phone call with friend to spare enough time to do quick doggy walk and then my mother had left a voicemail, so called back in case it was urgent, it wasn’t, then DD2 came down to chatter! Son was messaging back and forth. DD1 was messaging. Then friend messaged me! Anyway enjoyed it stop and starty as it was!Up early and it was such a beautiful star filled sky with a tiny sliver of moon.
Moved carcass of new to me drawers upstairs. Humph. Humph. Bump. Bump. DD2 had taken all the drawers up last night and she’s sorted them out, had a clear out and a bag to go to charity.
Hoovered before boyo came in from night shift.Went a lovely walk with DD2 down our woods, colours just stunning, a tad cold and windy though, wooly hat and big jumper on. Went to see OH tree and gave his name tag a wee polish!Much washing done and dried. Hurrah for the wind.Planted 3kg of daffodil bulbs!Made a creamy chicken pasta for tea.Fire on. Lit by boyo so much better than mine!10 -
Hurrah! DFV is back 😊13

Settles down with tea and a mince pie to read DfV ultimate epic posts.
1 Paid for the car insurance, a pleasure to be able I suppose.
2 I reigned in some costs, cancelled this week’s delivery as I know we will visit C0stco at some point, and I have been given a voucher for the amazon deals, which I will spend on DH’s Christmas present, it’s expensive but the best price by far now.
3 There are 2 rooms that have turned into dump and run rooms, one is the spare room, where DH piles boxes and pet stuff, the other is the office where I dump paperwork, only today it was too much as we needed to find things so set too, DH arranged things to go to the loft and vac packed them, I sorted various paperwork and tidied up. We now have a useable spare bedroom bed. No mean feat, and things are starting to take shape in the office, but still work to do, a whole big box of paperwork to “sort”.
4 The latest ferret who came to us over a month ago now, has found his feet, and a friend, today he cuddled us for the first time! I don’t think he’s ever met humans in a good way before us.
5 I might have forgotten to meal plan tonight, ended up with bangers and mash.

Ooh PK. So glad your newest one is brave enough now for cuddles.
I have a confession to make..........until you posted photos I didn't realise how vastly different they can look. I have never seen one in real life and I certainly didn't know that they like cuddles from humans.

According to a lovely poster I am Bala the Brave who wrestled a Tiger. You know who you are.....

dfv epic post as always. belated birthday greetings, and yes, relieved and delighted dd2 is well.
1) 10:55 someone at the Sheriff's Court signed for my divorce papers - relieved they have arrived safely - the wonders of technology!
2) 11 o'clock meeting finished at 11:25 so decided to walk the dogs which was lovely.
3) just as i finished work a colleague team-called for a virtual hug. i think people have found it tough this week
4) after supper dd2 and i were going to walk up to the observatory (closed of course on the hill) to look at the planets, but so many bats I whimped out!
5) so we went round to mum's. we could see Jupiter, Saturn 'at 10 o'clock' and Mars hill or no hill. dd2 showed mum and she was thrilled as she hadn't been sure where to lookMrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

Popped onto MSE mid afternoon and saw DFV’s epic posts so settled down with pot of tea for a good catch up.
