1. Reached 55% LTV on the mortgage yesterday. Still hopeful we will have it paid off entirely in 4 years before our 1.8% deal run out!!
2. Homemade beetroot soup from MIL for lunch. Yum. And managed to resist the snacks/cakes out in the kitchen.
3. Feeling pleasantly sore from CrossFit yesterday. I'm waddling, but that reminds me I got up at 5.30am and did it!
4. French class tonight! Tired, but I always enjoy it.
5. Two neighbours came over for tea and hobnobs yesterday over lunch as I was working from home. Love my street!
6. Got a Victorian fireplace reinstated in the bedroom yesterday. I am totally in love with it!

My five for today are;

1) A damp, misty, miserable morning turned into a sunny, breezy afternoon and I got a whole load of towels nearly dried.

2) I went with dsil to Waitrose for a coffee and actually got a free mince pie with my Waitrose card - every time I've been there previously they have never had any offers left.

3) I enjoyed 2 hours knitting at my knitting group while we debated all the current tv programmes.

4) I made Quiche for dinner and while the oven was on I baked a pumpkin pie. First time I've tasted this and it's lovely.

5) Good tv programmes tonight including Christmas moneysaving programme and The First on channel four with Sean Penn.

Goodnight everyone xx

Frith

Pleasures for today (Thursday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Second man came to try and mend the tumble dryer and it is now working, after 3 weeks!


3) Hens well and 3 eggs.


4) Had pork rolls from the butcher in the village for lunch.


5) Smaller son and I went to the cinema to watch Johnny English. Looked in a few shops to find him a new coat but ended up getting one from Sainsburys. He's never had a brand new coat and is wearing it now!


6) Watched Ambulance.

Gosh, I know I'm late when I'm posting after frith

Been and done work. Was home slightly earlier than usual ( no one to drop off) so had a nice chat with friend who it's usually too late to call. My work jacket had a wash in machine as was smelling of brazier smoke ( we are supposed to leave them there and as I was soaked last night I'd brought it back to dry but it was stinky! Anyway smells of the tropics now!

Today was pleasant enough. But twenty months since my lovely husband died and how can that be? Twenty seems such a big number.

DD2 had left stuff at work so I went down this morning. It was beautiful. Lovely sun coming through the trees, steam rising of the piles of leaves as they heated up in the sun. A squirrel here and a squirrel there. Picked it up and dropped it off to her at college.

Made a chicken pie. Using up what I had in fridge and the last 3 sprouts!

Builderly people came. They've cleared all the crap that was left. Much hurrah! The replacement kitchen doors...one damaged! Growling! Then the replacement glass splash back ( first one had no fittings) 3 instead of 4 rubber doodahs! Spoke to lady at kitchen place insisting they would not be able to 'Write off this one' excuse me? I have paid for a full and proper kitchen. I shall have a glass splash back with 4 rubber doodahs. Email sent!

So still I wait for electrics ...he's on holiday. Replacement doors. There are none available in UK. Make me one! And while you're at it mould me a rubber doodah. And plastering to be redone. Sigh.

Work . Was fine but seriously cold. Colleague unhappy that she wasn't where I was. Apparently moaning to anyone who would listen. Get there earlier then love! DD2 dishing the dirt!

All Saints already. Where has the year gone?!
1) interviewing all day. very strong candidates with excellent interviews. certainly no such thing as a free lunch though!
2) wore my new trousers, shirt and jacket. very smart but also very comfortable :-)
3) off to DCA for pre-theatre dinner with gbf and friend going off to work with MSF (medicin sans frontier).
4) then we went to see Allelujah by Alan Bennett. Was quite fun but found some of the 'jokes' a bit laboured
5) then back home to mrpiano and a nice cup of tea

Good Morning Lovelies,

Yesterday

1. Waitrose. Stacked a couple of coupons and offers and got £50 of shopping down to £25. Small victories. :j

2. Washed the doggie. Always a big performance. Bathroom soaked. People soaked. Doggie; glum and bedraggled, but fragrant, and not the colour of sand and cement! :rotfl:

3. I have been making flapjacks to use up breakfast cereals........ Requested, but not eaten :mad: This batch was much better.

4. DD Wanted to see The Alan Bennett play, but it clashed with Rememberance event at Birmingham Uni which was wonderful. Readings and music in the Great Hall, which had been used as a hospital in the Great War. (Sad it wasn't full, and a bit Disappointed there wasn't more focus on Peace).

5. Didn't get as many things ticked off as I had hoped, but lots of little things achieved.

Off to NEC, with friend, to craft fair, using Groupon voucher :j We shall be inspired to do so many projects, we have no time to do :rotfl:

Have a lovely day

Thursday pleasures,

Waved Capt S off to his new job with packed lunch and good wishes, nervous for him!

Another one shopping in W8rose and coupons, good to see the total trickle down.

It rained, hard, all day, pleasure of putting lamps on to brighten up the gloom.

My lovely man had a good day, apparently the offices are similar to the Labyrinth so may need a trail of breadcrumbs!

Watched Ambulance.
