5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Pleasures for today so far:

1) Road was gritted! So dropped smaller son off at the bus OK.

2) Had a hot chocolate with bigger son before taking him to school.

3) Stocking fillers arrived in the post from Amazon.

4) Went to see the psych nurse and felt slightly better for it.

5) Went swimming with my brother.

6) Tasty tea - meatballs and spaghetti then some stollen. :-)

7) Got house reasonably tidy.

8) Hoping to persaude sons to watch a Christmassy film with me in a bit.

Evening all.

A quick 5 from me as my computer's playing up and I'd hate to type an essay and then lose it:

1) Finally got my parcel from Amaz0n, at the second attempt, after RM admitted they lost the first one. :mad:

2) A local shop seemed to have made a mistake when ordering and had three big boxes full of pineapples, which they were selling off cheap in an obvious attempt to get rid of them. Being very partial to pineapple, I was more than happy to help out.

3) Admiring a rainbow cloud, the first one I've ever seen and an incredibly lovely sight.

4) Was a bit naughty and ordered some wine, taking advantage of an offer of 25% off and a free bottle of fizzy wine. :beer: That should keep me going until spring, however distant it feels right now.

5) Another very quiet day at work, as it often is at this time of year, so I spent an hour or so reading sources for the OU essay that's due next week, which meant I at least felt I'd got something useful done today!

Hugs to all feeling poorly or sad.

1. Went to a chum's for dinner and to do some Guiding stuff, and she made the most amazingly yummy risotto and a small glass of vino, went down a treat!

2. YS bread in shop

3. The builder has done fabulously today, I now have a worktop, my new lovely sink (not fully plumbed in) and a couple of cupboard carcases, it's starting to look like a kitchen!!!

4. Had to have a new bathroom tap today (it was leaking and apparently a rubbish one anyway, grrrr), but great that the plumber was on hand and happy to do it.

5. Lovefilm sent me another DVD to watch, enjoying it now whilst snuggled in bed under my duvet.

6. DD is sounding a bit better again today, she's staying indoors snuggled up and cosy with my parents, playing lots of games and doing lots of school work which for her is great fun! (Handy that my mum was a teacher )

7. I've been invited out for dinner with my old colleagues next week, just need to find a babysitter.

8. Am going out to dinner at another friend's tomorrow, one of DD's chum's parents, nomnom!

9. Have realised I can take some wine over tomorrow, as my parents left a bottle at the weekend.

10. Had a very cheery email from a lovely chum I've not managed to get to see this year, hopefully next year we'll manage it!

Hiya again.

PK - hope you have seen the last of that headache. It sounded horrid.

My five pleasures for the rest of Wednesday:

1. Sorting out, at last, how to download programmes off iplayer to watch them later.

2. Done some more finding out about publishing on Kindle and working on the thing I'm hoping to publish.

3. Spending some time chatting with DS1 about The Hobbit film - I'd forgotten that we were going to see it tomorrow - and his day spent Christmas shopping with his gf, and his plans for the holidays and ... everything really. One of those kind of chats!

4. Soup and scrambled egg (one after the other, not together:D) for supper. Was a very nice tummy warming meal. I've spent the day feeling so cold (despite wearing furry boot slippers, socks, jeans, a long sleeved tshirt, a cotton sweater, a zip up fleece and a giant cardigan plus a fleecy hat - indoors and with a low level of central heating on. What is the really cold weather going to be like? I still have thermals, fingerless gloves and a scarf to add I suppose.:eek:)

5. Hottie to take up to bed.

Sweet dreams
