Got a cheque today for the VAT back on my Sony Netbook I bought in December. The good news is that I paid half price due to cashing in Tesco Vouchers for double their face value - but was able to claim the VAT back on the full price - bargain :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Dilli is going home - yaaaaaaay :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news dude, Just take it easy for a while.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

ditto :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one good to hear they are letting you out.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ask your lass to give you a bed bath [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] - whether you need one or not.....:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A nice soapy one would be best.:shocked::):D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Is this a Lib-Con combination of 'early release' and 'care in the community' then? :D

Just to comment on a couple of other recent posts - good luck to TheDaddy and Superbiatch and well done Tinky on your anniversary. I feel confident in saying that Mr Tinky is indeed a very lucky guy... :D

Anyway my happy thought for today relates to our eldest. I popped in on his karate class this evening and he was there taking a group of about a dozen juniors through their paces like a complete pro - totally unfazed by any of it! If anyone has a natural ability to teach it's him and we're really hoping he can turn his love of karate and wonderful way with people into a career in one way or another for the future.

He'd probably kill my with a single blow if he knew I'd posted this but just before Xmas he came home from classes with a card and a present from one of the young lads he teaches. I watched as he read the card and the sight of tears in his eyes really touched me. When I was his age I'd probably have opened the present and chucked the card but he's so different (thankfully) I can now see what a remarkable young man he's becoming and what a gift for people he has. If only I had a faction of his patience......

I really should pop in here more often, it always cheers me up!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You must be so proud of your lad - but remember who his role model is....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A certain Mr Miyagi I believe...... :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wax on, wax off.....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Osem you should be so proud as he has like Hugh said a very good role model so give yourself a pat on the back and stand tall.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

great news dilllii x

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Proud Dad Osem and rightly so, all credit to you for the upbringing that has molded him into the special son he is. :nworthy:

Many thanks for the Anniversary wishes. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Did I miss that? - Sorry, hope you had a good one :) :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

....and after all the time you spent teaching them how to make a decent cup of tea. :) Take care dilli and I look forward to seeing a photo of your cast when Peter has had a chance to decorate it. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yup - and I got marmite out of them too :)

They tell me I am going to be getting a new cast once a week for seven weeks at least.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Maybe you could get Peter to do a new theme each week and consider mounting the old casts as art work. I think that a Dr Who Tardis one could be quite an eye catching addition to your collection of memorabilia. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A TARDIS cast - now see that's a cool idea :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

recently my Mum was taken ill and after a few day's rushed into hospital,
she has now been released and is comfy at home.
That plus trying to quit smoking caused me to be really down on everything,
but now Mum is doing ok i am starting to feel better

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Keep your chin up mate and all the best in the world for your Mum.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank You Budwieser :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Welcome Mate. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is good to hear now you have something to feel good about.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank You Masque ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So happy for you Tosh and so glad now that your mum is out of hospital and doing well :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank You Defirish ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm just happy, and happy that everyone else is happy :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm very happy that you are happy and that everyone else is happy happy happy :D:D

Looking at your CF pic i would say they gave you a boob job too! :D ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yeah, Nice Norks Dilli!!!!:angel::D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just had a weird fault that seems to have cleared itself..

A few months ago, my Windows HDD died, so I borrowed a 200 gig drive from Work, and set windows up on it. Didn't think anything more of it, until last week.

Last week, Windows started playing up a little, and my Windows drive was down to it's last few gig. So I took the opportunity to buy a new 2TB HDD, backed up all my important stuff and set Windows up again.

Been spending the last day or so setting up all the software I needed, and finally got around to setting up PowerDVD.

Then, I noticed a weird problem. I have my sound card hooked up to a Home Cinema system via SPDIF, and DVDs sounded a little odd. Running the Windows test showed that the card was ignoring the front left/right speakers. All the others worked fine, but the front two didn't.

Anyhow, after installing a few other sundry bits of software, I needed to reboot the machine. When the machine came back up the sound card was fine and I can now play back DVD/Blu rays in 5.1 sound...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

i am well well happy. King kenny is back as the manager.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've just come back from -15c snow in Austria taking a trip of 23 students skiing.

Very Cold.....But blooming briliant!

Just seeing how well they did, the experience of a different culture for them, and seeing them happy and learning to ski all together was a great feeling.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Welcome back Halcyon and glad also the students had a good time

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Car't sleep to excited. The king is back. Long live the king.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Resting on the couch with my iPad and the music coming out of my Bluetooth speaker :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My dodgy moment for today....

I have put all my appointments and things into my iPad but when I synced it to the pc and vice versa it kept moving them to like 3 in the morning and the reminder alarm was going off to take insulin and stuff at 2am [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

After MUCH trying to sort it - it turns out I had the iPad set on some odd country time (starting with a c) - instead of uk time [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sat having an ice cold pint of Peroni,waiting for my bar meal to arrive, after five hour drive to Llanelli - the beer sure tastes good.

So good, I am going to have another......

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Are you barred from your local ones, or was the 5 hour drive just an oversight?

and don't drive home. sleep in a doorway until the morning.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

is so excited off to Bloomfield road tomorrow for the match unless if it gets canceled again

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Patient transport called to confirm they are coming tomorrow - nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My son came out of hospital today after being in for 6 days. His operation was a success and he's now back to his normal self :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thats great news!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good news indeed :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Brilliant :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No - I had driven my wife and mother-in-law down to their aunt/sister's funeral, which was today.

No worries - we stayed in the Stradley Arms Hotel (where I was drinking the Peroni); I would recommend it if anyone has to visit/stay over in Lllanelli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good news :tu:

---------- Post added at 22:48 ---------- Previous post was at 22:47 ----------

Not such good news, hope it went as well as can be expected

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you for your kind thoughts - it was a celebration of her life, rather than a mourning of her death. Friends and family travelled from all over the country to be there to remember her, which was a wonderful tribute to a great lady.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good when it can be like that - but sad, none the less - however it sounds as if she will be remembered fondly by many people, which is all any of us can hope for :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think you might of put this in the wrong thread ;)

Anyway I've managed to wangle some days off and get a week away from work with the Mrs. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sat in hospital with my iPad and my foot out of the cast for a little while, now that's bliss :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Give it a good scratch....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good plan ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

... and a wash?

;)

(Sorry - couldn't resist)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have a giant rubber sock thing coming in the post so that I can have a bath in the cast.

It was a rennet nut well worth it as I like a good soak I can a tell you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A large rubber WHAT!! is coming in the post, Oh Sock I see.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/12/10.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2012/07/9.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I now have a nice purple cast :) - I think I'm going to go pink next time :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I vote that you get Peter to add a purple streak to your hair, colour co-ordination is definitely the way to go. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am sure he'd like to do it too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

well happy got to meet sammy lee, and kyut and a few orthers last night. same we lost

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

When our last cat Pu died John and I were so devastated that we vowed never to have another cat.

Well our resolve vanished when we saw Riley. So I happily introduce our new house-mate. He is only 18 months old but is already 30cms at the shoulder so I suspect he is going to be a very big cat. I'm just hoping that we can convince him that he wont get hit or kicked and that he is safe with us before he wrecks the house.

Now, has anyone one any tips on treating cat bites?

LOL I had forgotten how :erm: interesting a rescue cat can be. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I always find giving them a kick up the **** works a treat.

I use the same approach with kids too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He's a lovely looking cat Jo! He will never replace Pu that we know, but I'm sure he will reward you and John a million times over in the years to come, for giving him a loving, caring home. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Experimenting in the kitchen tonight. Made me happy.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Getting upgraded to the new Virgin Media 30Mb for just £30 and not feeling ripped off for a change!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

bet it feels great

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What a beautiful cat and he looks so proud. He will be the boss of the house if not already. He wont be long learning that your a very gentle person Jo and will settle in very happy to your family.

http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/r...l-congrats.gif Congratulations on your new addition to your family https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/01/55.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He will soon realise that you mean well and are happy to feed him upon request but will probably stay aloof and deign to to be friendly on his own terms with the occasional reminder ( bite ) to remind you who is in charge.;)

He is a handsome boy and looks quite regal.:)

;) :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Derek thats just cruel

Jo that cat just looks royal with his head like that, bit of a lion.

With regards to Derek I would really put the taser on him for even mentioning it :p: but then you'll probably get done for causing harm to a police officer so I wouldnt do that.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks for all the posts guys they were all much appreciated. Riley seems to have settled a little, or maybe that's just wishful thinking as I did get another small bite this morning. :D

He already thinks that he is Lord of all he surveys Masque so I dead to think how much of a dictator he will become once he gets a shed load of confidence.

Derek the taser idea does look as though it may work but I really wanted a live cat at the end of this taming period and I fear the RSPCA may take a dim view of my using one.

Doc considering the animal population that Derek has had to deal with in the past I am sure that he has considered using a taser at times but use one on Riley ... never. Riley would have him for lunch if he attempted such a thing. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2013/04/12.gif

One last bit of self indulgence on my part. A photo I managed to take this morning. LOL I'm back to being a boring old cat woman again. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/01/53.gifSorry.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

nah he's cute jo dont give him a bad rep he'll just live by it and torment you even further

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If he bites again you can always use this old cat womans trick

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn9M4...eature=related

Here she is again offering sound advice on what to do should Derek and his taser come calling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkMvK...eature=related

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

LOL I wouldn't rate my survival chances trying to throw a 3 foot long ball of fluff with claws at each corner and fangs at the sharp end across a table let alone over our house. :D

Now that one is definitely more feasible. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just booked three nights in London mid-February to celebrate our wedding anniversary - stopping at a new hotel, the W at Leicester Square (opening night our first night there).

Taking in a couple of shows (Jersey Boys booked, looking for another one at the moment), and looking for a nice restaurant for the night of the 14th around there - any suggestions from people living in London would be most welcome.

Then just spend a quiet couple of days doing touristy things I don't normally do when I am working in London - London Eye, the DUKW trip, some of the museums, and I am sure my darling wife will want to get some shopping in.....:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Depends what you want really - but the chances of you getting anything for that date in a really nice place are going to be a bit remote.

So, you go out when "they" let you?

For me it's a night out, for them it's a night off
