    Evening everyone!

    Not necessarily OS, but the following have all been pleasures today! ;)

    1) I sent a "Three Word Wednesday" to Simon Mayo on Radio 2 and he read it out, saying my name twice. I still feel giddy! :D

    2) Claire Lomas has been in contact with me/me with her to begin to arrange a time when she can pop into my school to meet the children.

    3) Been to the pub with a friend for a gossip. 2 pizzas and a bottle of wine to share for £20 in total :beer:

    4) Another "good" charity bag has popped through the door. Trying to see whether there are any items I can donate.

    5) yet another load of washing done. Neither OS, nor a pleasure...

    Sleep well folks! x

    Thank you ampersand, it worked! Have a productive day at the sale.
    Frith, better and better :D. Loving reading the progress
    VJsmum well done your DD. Some people are just so up themselves! Get well now :)
    Kittikins well done you on passing both exams :T
    Vicky that's going to be an amazing experience, the children (and adults) are going to be awe-struck, as I would be
    DD get well now

    No pleasures as I strayed from my routine and found myself in an unfortunate encounter. In future I will stay where I belong with people who know me.

    Sleep well. S

    It is 42o, it is unbearably hot, the house is hot the sofas are hot, when I tried to have a lie down the mattress was hot. The glasses to pour water in were hot! Everything is hot! My hair is frizzy, I am sweaty and crabbit

    1. Was given a very kind and thoughtful gift and card by Miss Stressy!!
    I take back all the unkind thoughts I had yesterday :)
    A beautiful gift bag, a lovely card and chocolates in lovely tins( I shared the chocs...kept the tins!) I think it was just a clash of 2 stressy, perfectionists!!

    2. Work was so quiet.
    I am working longer hours next week but will get an extra day off, we are terribly quiet now that semester has finished.

    3. I did not leave the air conditioned building until I had to walk back to car.

    4. My washing will be dry in no time even though I put it put at 6 pm!

    5. Tea was some leftover food from work that would have been chucked. All I had to do was cook some rice and peas and that was it!

    6. Frozen yoghurt ice lolly for pud.


    Enjoy your day.....wrap up warm if you have to!!

    Morning

    VJsmum, Kittikins and Dundeedoll get well NOW and anyone else not feeling poorly
    VJsmum - Well done to your DD for standing her ground
    Vicky - Sounds like the children are in for an amazing and inspirational visit.
    Sparrer - Hope you are OK

    Pleasures for yesterday,
    1. Poached eggs for breakfast, I can never be bothered to cook them at home so always enjoy this when staying in a hotel,
    2. Productive day at work which is just as well as another part of the project is not going so well so may need to swap things around to allow other people to sort themselves out. I have one department who have had 3 years notice to sort out their data but have left it to the last minute and are now complaining that we haven't given them enough notice:mad:
    3. Getting to catch up with lots of people I haven't seen for ages in our Wakefield office, they don't let me out very often these days:p. As was there have been asked if I will do some audits for them next year again, quite happy to as it keeps me upto date with the latest standards as never know what will happen going forward.
    4. Good train journey home and my bag didn't have a seat of its own in 1st class.
    5. As late getting back had takeaway for dinner which will go on expenses so another NSD.
    6. Nice to be back in my own bed with my little family around me. I was only away 1 night but they said they missed me (meaning no one to cook dinner for them or do the packed lunches)

    Hugs to all who need them
