Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

4 more sleeps till we're back in the UK. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well I've survived a month on minimum wage and spending 7.5 out of 8.5 hours on my feet every day.

I also sent out over £20,000 worth of post :shocked:, some months they've hit £60,000 every month.

I also was given a conractor pass, which means I don't have to go to security every week to revalidate my pass.

Best of all the minimum wage is going up to £5.91ph

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done and hopefully you will get a permenanent position from the job and a bigger pay rise

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad things are looking up for you.I hope it continues.

Here's hoping your new neighbours are a bunch of real sweeties.;)

As for your little walker please give her a huge hug from me for the future booboos she is about to acquire.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got my iPhone back from being repaired. Well actually I got a brand new one seeing mine was deader than dead. Still it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be.

An expensive lesson that waterproof cases and phone insurance might be a good idea. That and nokias phones software really is gash these days. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just been invited to and played in a game of zombies on MW2 on the ps3. No idea how they did it but I want more!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

hope you win

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I flew up in a hot air balloon today and it was amazing!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done you. Was it the first time you ever done it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good gracious!!!
I bet was amazing. :)
What area did you travel over and why?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I would be so nervous going up in one in case I was never able to come down again and the fact that I hate hights as well. Scary stuff :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

wow what was it like?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yeah it was the first time I've ever been in one.
It was quite calm and only the landing had a few bumps before we came to a stop.
I was flying from Rutland Water. It's really nice. I saw parts of Stamford, Belvoir Castle in the distance, you can see a long way.
I was meant to be doing it about 10 months ago but each time it was cancelled because of the weather. It was a present I got ages ago.

Its so peaceful up there and you get such amazing views.
Here are a few pics:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Those pictures look so good. I would love to try it but my feet and my head prefer to be on the ground. I get dizzy going up one wrung of a ladder never mind going up on a balloon :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm so glad you finally got to collect your pressie :D Very special :)
Only a few bumps... I'd have clung onto everything solid in a corner :D

And I am trying hard to avoid yet another double post but...
YAY - the Coventry Bees!!! Well done every man!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

wow the pics look great.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks everyone. It was definately a good experience.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

would you do it again?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As with all forms of flight, taking off is optional, landing is mandatory.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And, as we used to say in the RAF, any landing you walk away from is a good one....:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And any landing they can use the plane again after is an excellent one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Pickup my nearly new car in a weeks time after several weeks waiting for the garage to release it! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes I would.
Maybe a different location to discover somewhere else from above.


Enjoy your new car Snoopz!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was lucky enough to go up in one about 10 years ago. I remember it clearly now and I'll never forget it.

What took me by surprise was how calm it was, nothing like how I imagined it would have been. And the other was how close it felt to having the top of my head burnt off. I'll wear a hat next if I do get another chance. Great photos though.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'll try if i can afford the extra petrol! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You must be so excited waiting for it. Good luck for when you do pick it up. Here is one for you until you do pick it up

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nooooo lol i want my car! :P

---------- Post added at 21:17 ---------- Previous post was at 21:17 ----------

Well i guess i'd save a stack of cash on fuel but might waste alot of cash repairing the heap of junk when it is in the garage! ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well you could use Mater if ever your "Nearly New Car" has to go back to the garage again :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'd rather walk :P

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ah well I tried :(:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What started as a moan has turned into a happy thought.

I took the day off work yesterday to install a dishwasher and build a new bed for my daughter. Both were arriving from Argos between 8.30 and 10.30am.

Argos phoned at 9.30 to say they now couldn't deliver until Saturday afternoon because of transport "issues". Not being a happy bunny I cancelled the whole order.

I managed to get a slightly better dishwasher for the same price and it should be delivered next Wednesday. My 9 year old still wanted the same bed though so went back onto just order that and it's now HALF PRICE....:D WHOOP WHOOP :cleader::cleader:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Still Happy..:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thought you were going to say ....."for the same price but I had to carry it home myself"

nice one anyway ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mum has had neurosurgery & will be going back to a post surgical ward from ICU tonight.

She opened her eyes & said 'Hello' to me as well... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is such good news. I'm very happy for you cobbydaler. You must be so relieved. :D;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That sounds like a really good sign - nice to hear some good news :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I don't know what that entails but I am so very pleased.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am so relieved that she has come through the surgery and getting out of ICU shows she is making good progress. Hugs to you all.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

She will soon be home helping to plan your wedding and will be the proudest mum around.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks both, just seen her again and she looks a lot better at least. Quite alert although still somewhat confused. Took her friend who she's known since she was evacuated in 1941 to see her. Made both of them happy, she was even smiling at one point... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Can't tell you how happy I am for you Cobs, we only get one Mum in our lifetime. Thankfully you will be able to treasure yours for a lot longer now that she is making such a brilliant recovery.:hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is good news.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

is well happy new simpons on tonight

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That sounds so good :) Slow and steady is the way.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Had an interview for an Occupational Health Administration Assistant today, went well and should know by tomorrow whether I'll have got the job or not :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I shall keep my fingers crossed that you get good news. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get this job, Wayne, it sounds good :)

Commonwealth games :rolleyes:
But a super day for the water medals, and jumping over things and a superb display by Luke Folwell on the double bars :)
We'll get 'em in the archery :D

Yay to Imogen Cains but that sport is starting to look like something people might like to pay for - but she was so slick.
OK - where's the equestrian and sailing??? :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well I didnt get a call so am assuming I didnt get the job, but they could always call me Monday I suppose

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

'Course they will phone you Monday, think positive. Don't let it spoil your weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed for you MadGamer!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry I have not been about much been really busy cause I am gettimg married tomorrow :D Take care and see you all when I get back :wavey:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a good one :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a great day.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

oooh, congratulations - I hope it is a lovely day for you :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Dont give up hope. I know It's very frustrating waiting to hear if you got the job or not but they probably had lots of applications to get through and put applications to one side that they didn't think would suit the job and the ones that they would narrow down to being suitable for the job and then from that pile they have to pick from that who is the best suited.

So keep positive as you have done what you need to do and now It's just a wait and see for you and fingers crossed you are the lucky one that gets the job.

Enjoy your weekend and have fun and try and put it out of your mind until Monday. Best of luck ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If they don't call on monday I'd call them, leave a good enough impression now and it'll really help in any future dealings you have with them.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A guy at work was telling about what happened to a friend of his.

A woman had booked a long weekend at Celtic Manor during the Ryder Cup (she had booked it ages ago and didn't know the RC was there.)

A week before they where due to go, they had a call offering them £5,000 for the room, he said no, a second call they were offered £10,000 again he said no, both times his wife had said it was for them as a special holiday.

They accepted the third offer £75,000. Apparently it was made by Beckham management company.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finished a looooonnnnng day's travelling - three planes, 26 hours in planes/airports, finallly arrived in central India for a couple of days work.

Off to bed now - it's 12:49am here.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've heard that story soooooooo many times...

---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:50 ----------

Make sure you have lots of Indian food over there - except they call it 'food' there... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Don't drink the water, and take it easy with the men.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The water's fine (as long as it's from a bottled source), and I don't understand what you mean about the men - I don't have any direct reporting staff over here.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

was that the same advice he gave his mother when she went over there?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just picked up a nearly newish Astra VXR in Arden Blue so i'm well happy although rather skint! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If you are skint and sad it is a bad thing, but if you are skint but happy it is definately a good thing.
Enjoy your new car!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You'll be even more skint when the tyre bills keep coming in ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've heard that exact story from a friend of mine here - how random, it must be true :)

---------- Post added at 18:14 ---------- Previous post was at 18:13 ----------

Very nice indeedy! Have lots of fun and find a good supplier of tyres ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm hoping the tyres won't wear too different from the last ones on the SRi, i know the price is the same so heres hoping!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

C.P.T still have pretty good prices dude. ;)
Congrats on the new motor as well.

I get about 7000 miles out of tyres on the weekndmobile so best not to use it very often ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What's the weekendmobile then?
(Please don't tell me it's paint job is bright red :D )

Tyres are Goodyear? Dunlop?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Integra Type R DC2, various mods (inc. Jackson supercharger), running about 280BHP. Championship white. Daily driver is bright red ;)

You're the guy in the outside lane then...

Noo Focus ST. Did have an Audi before that.

I do feel a bit guilty for contributing to global warming but will stop short of buying a Toyota Prius... and you don't get enough time on Boris's blue bikes to get back this far up North unfortunately....

sorry am wandering OT here.

Happy thought: off to see Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman (uncle rick) at Lpool Philharmonic next week, really looking forward to it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Some Toyotas (little 'un reliably informs me... shame he was banned from driving his for a while) are pretty good.

And sometimes you just have to have fun.
Get moss on your roof, recycle, collect rainwater, breathe near plants, grow your own, fit a wind turbine, wash fabrics on a 30C cycle and dry it in the wind, get low energy light bulbs, understand the difference between 'standby and off'.

Go for it.
