Natalies personalised card and mug (with piccy of us on it) for valentines day has arrived from moonpig - nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was going to ask for a picture but I expect its a surprise for Natalie.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

She does not read these forums yet.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is a really nice present Dilli. She will be so happy with it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope so - the card is nice too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

They really are and a present that you wouldn't even think of to get. Nat will love them

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am about to drive my wife to the gym (which is part of a local hotel).

While she is attending the yoga class, I will be in the bar upstairs, watching the rugby, and she will join me afterwards for a meal.

Some beer may be taken....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You should join your wife in the gym and be a good boy :D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Lovely idea Dilli, Natalie is going to love these! :romance:

Now that is really nice and a really nice photo so thanks for sharing it with us Dilli.http://www.addemoticons.com/emoticon...ticons0424.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That was taken (by Peter) at my sisters wedding last year. I look like a gimp in a suit to be honest :( but Natalie makes up for it ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I know your eyesight is poor but the fact is it's your memory that is defective.You appear in RL to be a fine figure of a man and Natalie is lucky to have you as a partner.;)

Things you should not do in that type of suit.

Got an Interview on Monday, trouble is Ive forgotten what time, its either 9:00 or 9:30am, so if the guy doesn't respond to the email I have sent him, Ill aim to be there for 9am

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I would turn up early regardless of it possibly being a 9:30am appointment.

Good luck with the interview, what is the position on offer.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its for a Web Design company, and I will be doing Tech support as well as admin, and updating in house records

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As I said above good luck with that on Monday.:)

Just looked on the trinity square (get carter car park) page and I am sooooo glad I ordered 5 bits of the car park before it sold out. Used to love that place and used to spend every Saturday mucking around on it when mum was in Tescos :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yay, I get my first session with guide dogs on the 11th March :)

Fantastic news. I am so excited for you. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Interview went ok, but thats not my happy thought, went to Lakeside afterwards, and this afternoon just before we came home, we went into Appy Feet, A store which offers treatment using fish, needless to say my feet now feel very soft :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That looks interesting which one did you go for the 10 minute or the 35 minute spa.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

its actually 15 minutes for £10, beats spending loads of money for expensive treatments, and the results are fantastic :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After 3 days my system restore is within sight of the finishing line, just a few tweaks to sort.

Best of all is the Media Centre Extender between my PC and XBox now works and I can stream music to the xbox, now to work on the video.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finally, after two months work, quite a lot of stress and a few near arguments at work, myself and two colleagues have finished the first version of a new system at work. It's basic (at the moment - we have a lot of ideas for functionality we can add to it), but it's ready for testing.

Also, it should eventually mean I can disable an old system that has (in many ways) been the bane of my life, and was used because while it didn't quite fit our needs, we needed something quickly, didn't have time to develop something from scratch (time we have now made) and it fulfilled most of our needs.

Actually, in fairness, the old system was fine for what it was designed for. It had a few flaws, but it was perfectly usable. Those flaws are, of course, not present in the new system.

The best part is that the department who we got the old system from (actually, one of our ex-staff members wrote it for them) possibly wants to use a copy of our new system, which could mean chargeable work (and therefore money) for me, and the two colleagues who I developed the system with. Apparently, they are in the same position we were. The old system works fine, and fitted their needs when it was designed, but doesn't entirely fulfill their needs now.

Now I just have the stress of letting users on to it..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It would cost you a lot more to get this monkey... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Saved nearly £200 on my car insurance.

Saga only wanted over £400...:mad:

AXA were much more reasonable..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I thought you came cheaply.......

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

There could be a double meaning read into that Hugh https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/02/48.gif

cheaply or quickly?? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Looks good - though the Sunday seems a bit late for the kids - they do a thursday one aimed more for young families - which we'll try to get to.

When did you go? where did you stay?

---------- Post added at 15:31 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------

that sounds dirty...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We stayed at the Coconut Beach Club, which is mainly for couples, rather than families.

Didn't do much, actually - chilled out mainly, went round St Johns (not much there), Shirley Heights, Dickenson Bay.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Everything sounds dirty to you and if it isn't you soon bring the tone down..It's your Raisen d'etre.

But for some odd reason I'm unable to fathom I miss it when you are not around..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/12/10.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

is that a type of currant bun?
yeah I'm like that - kind of like an intenstinal parasite - a pain when I am around, but you miss me once I'm gone

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is now confirmed and booked and all happening at noon the 17th December - I believe I am very happy :)

Congrats, dilli, to you and your soon to be better half.

My happy thought - had our wedding vows renewed this morning in church, and then took twenty family and close friends to a leisurely lunch at a country house hotel.

Very happy, quite full, and getting "relaxed". :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cheers all :)

Oh you meant the mug you bought for her, nice one enjoy the day.:):):)

Yeah you do have to wonder if she has a sight problem too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Amen that man. :D

Congrats to Dilli and Nat.

I feel very fortunate with my life at the moment. Good job, wonderful girlfriend, loving family. All I need is a couple more pieces to slot into place and it'll be perfect. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I can't think I've ever been happier than when I went down to wake our youngest this morning and he was OK. We had to call an ambulance to him last night as he's suffered a prolonged seizure and we were very concerned about him because his emergency medication was taking ages to work. Thankfully, he seems back to normal now (touch wood), if a little groggy still, and as I type he's listening to the theme from The Snowman on YouTube with a beaming smile on his angelic face that'd melt anyone's heart.... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My toe is now all healed up :)

Foot is still broken though, so I am now in an air cast which is interesting, at least I can now have a bath :)

edit - it is one of these ones....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh I love all the happy news in the tread to-day even if I don't understand Hom3r's. :D

My happiness is that Riley, our 1 year old RSPCA rescue cat, having been with us now for 4 weeks had his very first taste of fresh air this morning and although it seems that he has never set foot out doors before he only ran back to me for reassurance a few times. LOL the look on his face when a bird flew over his head was priceless, and walking on wet grass!!!!! we knew he liked playing with water but wet grass had him almost drooling with glee, he was bouncing about like a spring lamb. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Did his mouth twitch when he saw the bird.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You know I just realised I have never seen, or heard, him do the normal bird watching things that all our other mogs have done. He just sits watching them at our feeders, I always assumed that wanting to catch birds was an instinct that cats were born with but Riley seems to be heading in the same direction as your Molly. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

She does the mouth thing but if they start screeching she dives for cover.:)

Our last cat was an expert bird killer sadly and used to make the weirdest 'cack,cack,cack,cack,cack' sound whenever he spotted one.:confused:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's great :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

"Hope you enjoy every minute of it! ;)"


Thank you :)
I have to think about what I'm doing next.
I can stack shelves, pull pints, work a till, understand IT and...?
Preparing my food plot and looking at cruises, listening to music ATM :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I know that feeling Caff :hugs: The first time I retired I was happy that the stress and pressure I was under was ending but had a sense of loss knowing that I would loose that close working relationship with my colleagues several of whom I had come to feel were friends.

:erm: That retirement didn't last 6 months but now, several years down the line, I have decided to try to work harder at being retired. Although the money is very welcome I found that I was begrudging the time I had to spend to earn it. I thought I would never want to retire but I have changed my mind, the sense of freedom I felt when I handed over this last set of canvases on Monday was fantastic. :D

So enjoy your retirement you have earned it. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Loads of good news on here today I love it! And Caff you will soon wonder how you found the time to work.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks All. :)
I loved that job for decades but it got to be more than I could handle :(.
I get to hand in my pass card, make a donation to the PTA and drive off into the sunset on a pretty neat bike with a pretty neat biker. I'll try my best not to throw a fork.
Oh and I have to pay £326 for a laptop that went missing from my room.
I'll forget the fork and just ride away :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finally getting in the bath - see you in a couple of hours lol :)
