Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Not a happy post per se…
As some will know my son is half English and for his recent birthday I bought him a stadium tour of Wembley (already taken him around Anfailed as well as Old Trafford - my attempts at conversion therapy had so far failed) and we’re going this Saturday. So I’ll be picking him up from Leicester then driving to the stadium for the tour which is about 2 hours. I’ll be bored out of my mind but yes he’s half English so he’ll have a good time which is the only reason I’ll be happy. Afterwards we’ll be staying at a hotel in Luton for the night and driving back to the East Midlands Sunday midday, going to a funfair at his local park then at 5 I’ll be making my way back to Cardiff in the lovely Sunday evening traffic. So as long as he’ll be happy, and I know he’ll love it, that’s this weekend sorted. |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Nice but I'd make time to just be with each other. Why is it that these days you have to go all out to please. I'm sure he'd be happy with whatever you do as long as it's with you.
|
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Huh? I do make time to just be with him but considering he lives in your area and I only get to see him one weekend per month I like to make our time as special as possible. None of his family is in to football so I like to take him places he would enjoy going to but wouldn’t normally have the opportunity.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
5 1/2lb off this week hit my 4 1/2 stone plus a bit. Might hit 5 stone loss next week. All that in just 12 weeks. Happy days
|
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well done, Jay.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
After my crap start to the week with the kidney stone somehow I managed to lose 5lb and hit the 5 stone mark in 14 weeks

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well done Jay colossal loss in such a short time.
I am not happy that today was the last time our local Wilko traded. However I made a special visit to the store as I plan to have our bedroom and hallway decorated later in the year. I bought 4 rolls wallpaper normally £19 and 3 rolls normally £14 oral tooth brush normally £16 and 6 solar lights £1.50 each. Wallpaper was reduced to £5.50 each roll, toothbrush £11.20, and solar lights 90p each. Just as I arrived at the check out the manager informed the check out lady the wallpaper had been reduced to 50p per roll. Total £20.10, saving £122.90. Bargain of the day? You bet :hyper: |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Sweet deal that

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Had an appointment today with my Doctor, I was able to discuss 3 problems that have been worrying me for some time. I wore a jacket I had not worn for some time, fiddling about in the pockets, I found £34, and later won £25 on the club bandit, altogether a very good day. :):):)

Just booked online for a COVID booster tomorrow and a flu jab on Thursday - beat the rush… ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I had a text yesterday afternoon with a booking link for the same two jabs at the local clinic.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
John and I had both our Covid and Flu boosters on the 21st September.
Hate being classed as vunerable but at least I know we've had them done. |

Over 80lb weight loss in 17 weeks
Slowing it down now to a more manageable 2 to 3lb a week loss |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well done Jay, that's almost 6 stone, must have taken a lot of willpower and I bet you feel and look better for it. Down side/up side, new wardrobe required:nworthy:.

I'm the opposite, for me it's a constant battle to put weight on. A lot of the time it's a case of the more I eat the more weight I tend to lose. There's a lot of info on how to lose weight but for me I'm just told to eat anything fattening or fortify the food I eat with as much crap as I like. Not exactly healthy. It might sound great for some but really it ain't. The most I've ever weighed was 11st, the least was 7st (and I'm 5ft 10in). I can tell you at that weight it's really not fun at all. |

Jay you have accomplished what for most people in your situation find almost impossible. The effort it must have taken to cut out all your comfort food is commendable. You have done it before, you can do it again. Just keep thinking how good you felt the first time when you lost loads, and this time resolve to keep the weight off for good, as you know it is life changing. I'm in your corner, keep up the good work. :nworthy: |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Took the Mondeo Titanium X Sport for an EGR and DPF delete as well as a stage 2 ECU remap the other week and I could feel one hell of a difference but took it on a rolling road today and I’ve gone from 175bhp to 235bhp.
The 2.2 has a 6 speed gearbox so I don’t have to worry about the clutch burning out as often happens with too-high ECU remaps, so well happy with that :) ---------- Post added at 20:26 ---------- Previous post was at 20:20 ---------- Quote:

Received an email from the NHS PATCHES system asking me to book a blood test (for my repeat (low dosage) Statins prescription) - whilst I was on the phone, I also booked a Pneumococcal vaccine* appointment.
* What the pneumococcal vaccine is for The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against some types of bacterial infections that can cause serious illnesses like: meningitis (an infection in the brain and spinal cord) sepsis (a life-threatening reaction to an infection) pneumonia (an infection in the lungs) It can also help protect against other illnesses such as sinusitis and ear infections. |

According to my medical team I seem to be on my way back into remission. Our son has had a year long battle going on with the Inland Revenue following his divorce but had a letter this week confirming ... in writting.... that he doesn't owe any money and they have actually appologised. Then we got word that my husband's replacement hip operation could be done early next year, then yesterday, we got another phone call offering him the operation on 20 December instead as his Cosultant has managed to fit him into her list early, of course he accepted, fingers crossed he will be home by Christmas. Just seeing our son smile and knowing that my husband will be out of pain and be able walk soon makes me happy. Oh and SUFC won 2-1 but that's a completely different happy thought. :D |
