I am doing the washing up - and the ironing too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now that is what I like. A fair share out of the chores. You do them and Natalie gets to watch and supervise. :D

Seriously though, I am so happy for you both, finding a life partner is one of the greatest joys. :)

Oh and didn't you say some tome ago that once Natalie moved in she would be joining CF?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Really happy for you dilli. Wow the one thing I didn't guess but dont mind. I wish you and Nat every happiness together. Have you given her breakfast in bed? :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Going to the Isle of Wight on Monday, weather looks at if it is going to be awful rain all week, Wish I was staying at home. Sorry not a happy thought

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's been a long time since I studied with the OU. I'm totally shocked by the cost of courses now. :shocked: £700 for a level 1 course. :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Going to cost even more than that next year...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Thank You for the good wishes when I go on my travel's Sasha,

My ultimate place to visit would be China and the Orient, but I'd need to win the lottery for that lol.
I think I'll start with part's of Europe, the old Eastern bloc countries,
as they have wonderful buildings and scenery.
But I will see what deals I can find when I apply for and hopefully get my passport.

Yes I am very positive and Happy these day's and Thank You again :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank You Sasha,
I will get my passport as I'm going to be positive.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

hahahahahahahahaahaha, it might be Tinky but I don't mind,
and the bracing cold and chilling breeze will clear the 'cob web's' so to speak

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm fine Sasha, thanks for asking. The hand is bruised but healing well. We had a bash at putting new hinges on the cupboard door that I tore off in the fall. Don't know what we are doing wrong but it does not want to close properly, must be something to do with the screw in the middle. Hope everything's well with you too.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ah glad that your feeling ok now and that it wont happen again fingers crossed. We had a cupboard like that and in the end we just got a carpenter to fix it for us as it was doing my head in. turned out we had the hinge upside down lol

---------- Post added at 20:07 ---------- Previous post was at 20:06 ----------

Also so glad that your hand is healing well and I'm doing well and have got used to the pain now at this stage and rest when I get it and just keep going when I dont.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Packing - almost, flat clean - yeah right! Tickets were bought a while ago, I just need a print-out of them. I'm psyched! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Take a deep breath and write a check list and mark of all the things as you do them and you will be fine. Just dont forget the tickets :D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Welcome Nat! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Today I came back from holiday with my mum and sisters kids (my dad stayed at home).

They had the odd mad moment, but other than that they behaved purfectly.

They totally enjoyed themselves but my nephew (7) struggled towards the end of the week as he missed his mum, and couldn't even talk to her on the phone incase he got upset, but his sister (10) looked after him.

They both thanked us for a great holiday, my niece is even looking forward to the next one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So glad they had a great holiday and they sound like they had a really good time and you didn't need the tape either to keep them quiet :D:D:D When is the next holiday planned ?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My girls are 9 and 6. They'd be great company for your niece and nephew the next time. ;) No charge :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A big wellcome Nat! I,m sure you are not the kiss and tell type. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Give her a cat and she'll tell all!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Here you are Nat, spill the beans lol!!! :D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Had an amazing time camping in the lakes.....even if at one point we ended up having to go down to hospital.
But it all turned out well in the end..... Beautiful countryside to be in.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm in a happy mood today.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have to say me and my family had a very good week away at the caravan (only one bad day due to rain). Would have posted earlier but the baby has just started to sleep through (touch wood) as he is now 3 months old, So me and my partner have been catching up on the sleep loss.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sounds like ye had a great time and now happy days that the baby is starting to sleep through the night. You have a lot of sleep to catch up on yourself by the sounds of it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh they are such a joy at that age devil, but time flashes by and before you know it you will be struggling to get them OUT of bed lol!!! ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got back from a week with Emily on Tuesday morning. Didn't wanna leave, that was hard, but had the most awesome holiday in the US. Only flicker of Irene was remnants of some clouds making it cooler on Saturday.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/08/1.gif

Glad you had a really lovely holiday. You should have brought Irene back with you to clean the flat. Would have been done in a flash :D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

'Big eldest' has donated a kidney to eldest today and it seems that are still breathing in and out.
Grapes, cards, hugs and attention are on their way soon :)
I'm so glad that it's over for a while.
I've offered the nurses £50 a day to keep Big eldest there a bit longer than necessary but they were having none of it. :D
I didn't mean to be cryptic - I needed to know that it went well first :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Really great news and good to hear it all went well, a really nice tale of family love.

Hope you like the little ecard in the spoiler.
