Loads of legs and wing meat cut off ready for a chilli curry to be made! It will be too hot for the likes of & and Sparra!

Just found this thread and would like to join to remind myself there is always something to enjoy, no matter what my brain tries to tell me.

1. Lay in bed during the night under my warm duvet, all snug, listening to the rain beating down
2. Had a proper pot of tea using 'yellow sticker' tea leaves
3. My new and very fluffy cat came on the bed for a cuddle and let me run my fingers through her beautifully soft and very long coat for the first time.
4. Had an undisturbed 30 minute nap at lunchtime
5. Ironed and wore my favourite maxi t-shirt dress with my cashmere cardigan and merino wool socks, all of which were cheap charity shop finds.

A day of not much. Woke at 6am with a very upset tummy in both directions. Spent morning in bed or en-suite! Spent afternoon on sofa. Feeling better now certainly but blah to upset tummies!

Decorator sent a text to see if he could start a week early (next week) so a bit of waaah ( as every thing will need moved) as it’s whole of downstairs but then I suppose it’s done quicker than expected.

Caught up on telly. Watched Ant & Dec and really enjoyed the programmes, they make me laugh.

My doggy boy. Not been too far from me all day.

A wee edit of the niecelys popped in to see me so that was chatter-filled. Back to peace and quiet now:)

Lainey, your family get together sounds lovely, and a great way to do it at a hall.
Cottage Economy, ohh I love the idea of a midday nap, and it might make you smile to know I mis read your third pleasure as coat rather than cat.

1 All of the various sets of pots and pans we have accumulated through getting together and inheritance all in one place, and 2 big metal recycling bags created from the ones that are too bad to CS. Also I have to include this as an indulgent pleasure, I’ve just run the self clean on the oven and I’m a bit of a, ok a vast fan, that’s great.
2 Simple fish for dinner as I went out to an exercise class tonight. I have to say it’s a good job I pre purchased the block of classes otherwise I would be making up all sorts of excuses.
3 All of the Christmas cake fruits are mixed up and soaking in Courvoisier tonight, pah who said I was bah humbug. Lainey I do admit I am using Nigels book to keep me in the mindset of enjoying the time. I’m not up to todays date yet.
4 Scattered some oats and sunflower seeds out to the birds and attracted the wagtail and robin back.
5 Admiring the full moon tonight, and a candle lit from last Christmases sale candles. Just watching Ben Fogle talking to a man who owns his 5 islands, DH is looking envious.

welcome cottage economy i too was very happy to be snuggled under my duvet. 5 for today
1) friend's daughter (originally staying the week while her mum was in court) gave mrphdstudent lift into uni. i quite like this unexpected guests household
2) a crisp walk into work (i was going to ninewells campus so totally the opposite direction
3) lo biryani for lunch
4) friend came round after work. she has been through a very tough time and thanked me for offering a bed to her daughter. in the end he pleaded guilty to 2 of the 3 counts so she didn't need to give evidence. seemed the very least i could do!
5) vestry was good - a positive vibe, healthy accounts, and kept under 2 hours.

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Spent just over 3 hours cleaning out mum and dad's spare bedroom. This doesn't sound like much but we filled dad's car with stuff for the tip and my car with items for the charity shop. Then it was mould busting, cleaning walls, woodwork, hoovering 100 times in different directions. I can't remember the last time it was cleaned but I did their room about 7 years ago, so it was before that... It was never going to look great, but it is now habitable.


3) The charity shop was glad to take all the bin bags (10?) and were really pleased to have so many wicker baskets. They sell very well, I was told.


4) Went to Sainsburys for shopping with smaller son.


5) Met up with smaller son's friend who wanted to buy a PlayStation with his earnings from his new pub job. He wanted me to take it through the till for him and off he and smaller son went to get 6 months of PS+. The man said, "Is this a present for a hard working child?" and I said, "No, it's with his own money". He said, "Oh, it is your son?" and I thought it would look terribly dodgy if I handed over loads of cash and said it was just for a random teenager! So I said yes...


I was then questioned over exactly what course my "son" is doing at college (which I could answer!) and finally he said, "You must be very proud". Oh yes, I said!!!


6) Picked bigger son up from Halfords and he is going to start his volunteer work at the clothing shop for homeless people tomorrow.


7) Made a chow mein for tea.


8) Watched Gary Lineker's programme then Holby City.

Yesterday was a day that seemed to be over before it started! I was very tired all day, and got into bed feeling I’d not achieved much. Also, coffee with a friend left me feeling a little flat; I’d thought it would be one of the day’s pleasures but I came away feeling that I seemed to know all of friend’s news, but they’d asked nothing about mine! Not even about some results that were due last week that they knew about, and knew that I was very worried about!
But thanks to this thread, I fell asleep thinking about the good parts of the day rather than the disappointing bits

- nice chat with DC2 before they headed off for work
- learning something new at my own work; it’s hard, and I’m slightly worried, but it’s good to exercise my brain
- Rick Stein travelling through France on TV. I love a cookery programme that combines with travel. Haven’t been to France in so long, and hope to remedy this before too long.
- All 4 of us being home last night, chatting over tea and biccies, and being relaxed.
- A walk with doggles. Cold and wet but lovely colours in the leaves that haven’t fallen yet.

Welcome Cottage Economy.

Tuesday pleasures,

Dropped my car off at garage in village first thing for Mot & full service, I knew there were a few issues but hoped it wouldn’t be too bad.

Baked bread and went through house.

Met lovely farrier over the yard and he fitted girlie with new shoes, I left her in afterwards as it was a cold, drizzly afternoon and she was cosy in her stable with a full hay net.

New tyres, new bulbs, repair of mice damage to heating system and pollen filter :eek: so garage bill was a bit of a gulp but pleasure is that car maintenance is budgeted for.

A new to me recipe with Ham Hock, Butternut Squash and Lentils, only when I looked no lentils so heated a tin of cannellini beans instead and added those, surprisingly tasty.

BfH this is my absolute favourite thread for exactly that reason. We share the good bits (but when we're going through a tough time we know sharing it here we'll get the support we need)
My MSEness is being rewarded twice today. Free lunch, free dinner. What d'you mean, no such thing as a free lunch ;-)
