Things I’m Grateful For on Monday 15 September

Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

1. A warmish, dry day. I will be able to put the washing outside on the line.
2. All my friends have got through hurricane Ike unscathed.
3. Lovely creamy porridge for breakfast, courtesy of Simon.
4. My "half hour" system, I am getting "me" time and doing jobs.
5. Joshua, who is going to drive to Yaxley for me, to take a cheque to James my hairdresser.  I didn't pay  him last week as the new place doesn't take cards!!
6. Loulou, my beautiful spotty baby, who is laying here next to me.
7. The few tomatoes that we did manage to grow this year.  We have some left and I am going to have a hard boiled egg and tomato sandwich for my lunch.
8. My Dyson hoover, which makes the hoovering less of a chore.  Nothing else gets the dog hair like a Dyson!! 
9. I have won 2 internet competitions!!  The first was a "Bic, back to school kit" and is great and the second is 2 novels.  I have received the first and will tell you about it later.
10. Finding Photobucket, now that Image Shack seems to have gone "weird".  Photobucket is very easy.
11. We still haven't been sucked into a black hole!!

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. The squirrel falling off the bird feeder!!  I laughed long and hard at that!!! 
2.  This Loldog!!! 

Things I want to do:

1. A really good tidy up of my bedroom.
2. Make some chocolate caramel shortbread. 

Things I’ve done for others:

1. Everyones ironing.
2. Emailed some school stuff to Simon, that he needs for today.
