5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

mhagster

Hello. In bed early tonight.

A busy day.

Quick dog walk.

Started a new library book. Took it with me to hairdressers. Had seen a cancellation post on FB so managed to get in and it was 10% off colour today so that all worked out rather well! Delighted with my cut and much fun and banter in the salon.

Nipped into town. To get black trousers for new job. 3 pairs out of various charity shops. Also 3 jumpers, a snood. A swimming costume ( the plan (ha!) that new work is near swimming pool,so I may go after work) , a snood, a pair of black out curtains for son's room, brand new and half price. A thick corded coat half price. One shop had all stuff half price for today.

Passed on my parking ticket to someone else.

Home with my haul.

Beautiful sunset.

Had pizza for tea with a 50% off voucher.

GN is staying overnight. Our Elf arrived. With a friend ( picked up in charity shop) . Let the madness begin. They arrived at the back door with tea lights lit & on a toadstool.

Chat with friend on phone.

Bedtime. Realising an early night instead of telly is needed.

Friday pleasures,

Whizzed through chores ahead of physio on knee.

Won’t lie, it was painful but good news is that knee is getting stronger and have been given option of further exercises in form of a class, we are so lucky with our NHS.

Rested for a while and then over to see pony, wasn’t up to riding so fed her apples and groomed her itchy bits.

Popped into garden centre and picked up more bird food, they are starting to really go through it.

Capt S’s first pay day after 3.5 years of self employment, so nice for the money to just arrive in the bank account without needing to constantly chase clients!

Morning all. We are off to Cardiff any minute for the rugby. Wales v South Africa - torn loyalties.

Pleasures for last few days

1. Trip back from Bolton was ok. Friend came for coffee when I got home
2. Thundering through some work, though it is an easy bit. However a theory breakthrough was made :T:T
3. Bought my frock for a 1920s gatsby themed do next Friday. Bought a flapper frock and a more traditional, and more expensive, evening gown. The flapper frock looks much better so that is a result :money: (the evening gown looked a cross between a nightie and a Victorian dress). Bridget Jones's will be worn, however :rotfl:
4. Being able to resolve DDs costume crisis. Long time since a melt down like that but I think she felt better for it
5 dinner with friends last night.

Have a good day all - I am seeing my boy in a couple of hours:T

Pleasures for yesterday (Friday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Thought sons at school/college all day (bigger son only has 2 long days) so intended to sand the pollyfilla in the living room and sugar soap the walls. Started 9am and by 2pm I had done that and painted the whole room as well! Quite chuffed with it.


3) Bigger son came home 12ish as he'd had an exam but no lessons to follow. It was the "big" exam which most fail but he got 67% so that was positive. He fed the hens for me so I could keep painting.


4) HM soup from the freezer for lunch.


5) My brother came round before tea and we had a game of Settlers of Catan.


6) Offered election work by the council before/on May 2nd next year.


7) Chips from the van for tea to go with our broccoli cheese.


8) All enjoyed watching I'm a Celebrity.

First pleasure for Saturday

Was actually awake & up - so paid milkman :T

Watching a squirrel & a magpie eating the seed out of the roosting pouches

2nd squirrel eating the rose hips from next door’s rose bush

Had a very lazy day - didn’t get dressed at all ! :rotfl: Does anyone remember “The Lost Weekend” ? Well I have just had a “Lost Saturday” but without the booze :rotfl:

Lovely lunch - toast with a hm topping - tin of salmon mixed with chopped green olives, capers, green pepper, sun dried tomatoes, half a tin of sweetcorn bound together with a dollop of mayonnaise & seasoned with black pepper - absolutely scrummy & enough left for sandwiches for dinner :T

Fed the fox but the cheeky little blighter is now lying on the front lawn staring at the front door :rotfl: waiting for more food :rotfl: I am resisting the ‘look’ - he will not get fed again :rotfl:

The pleasure of reading your posts

My five for today are;

1) My very lazy day yesterday paid off and I felt loads better today - just a croaky voice left.

2) My friend of twenty years took me out for the day as an early Christmas present. We went to Dumfries House near Cumnock and had lunch when we arrived in the converted stables. Delicious.

3) We then had a guided tour of the house that was saved for the community by the intervention of Prince Charles in 2007. Absolutely beautiful house with 57 pieces of original Chippendale furniture.

4) After the tour we went for coffee and then a walk in the grounds. The walled garden was closed but maybe next time.

5) Driving home there was the most beautiful full moon.

I had a lovely day and what a nice Christmas present - Watching Strictly now xx

I'm in bed ( but have only just realised its just 7.30pm but I'm going to recline whilst watching telly ! )

Busy day. Poor sleep . As GN would not settle in her own room and then woke me with a karate chop to the throat at 11pm ( we had both been sleeping, she was by this point horizontal across the top of my bed and then the final straw was a fart!... She was sleepily frog marched through to her own room!)

The elves had been zip lining between the 2 new sofas!

Pancakes for breakfast.

FaceTime to Melbourne.

Made a snowflake for the tiny cousin. Then we posted it to him (7.5 weeks now)

An impromptu trip to Glasgow. Had a nice lunch. Got a few treats for gifts. Wandered round a Christmas market. Came home. Far too busy for me.

Made cookies when we got in.

Brought my box of craft stuff in ( to make snowflakes) from garage. I do need to go through it all but GN has helped herself to some stuff. Why do you have so much cool stuff? Because I'm cool!

Sigh! She was picked up . Hurrah! Had offered her another night stay but she was humming and haa-ing too much for my liking which would have meant tears at bedtime again. Lovely to have ...lovely to go. Niece brought piles and piles of stuff to be gift wrapped. Hidden in the laundry room. That's my job for tomorrow morning.

1) thought i'd lost all work done yesterday and this morning but found copy in autosave phew so only an hour of work lost
2) friend picked me up cos we were playing a ceilidh at Dunblane. Had a lovely catch-up in the car
3) ceilidh was one of the more unusual locations - a Yurt. Thank goodness for the heating which also gave out light to play! - turns out one can amend scottish dances for any number :-) we even did a dashing white sergeant with 6 - just told them not to go under / over at the end of each round :-)
4) plumduff we also admired the beautiful moon coming home
5) salmon and rice for tea - just about to walk the dogs then it'll be an early night reading Peter May - Freeze Frame
