What ever it is. I am pleased to see you so happy dilli. Intrigued as anything :mad: :D but still happy for you. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Because it's a wedding secret from a certain person whom is a member of this site and the wedding is a time away..now pipe down..:bsmack:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Set my dads new PC up for him, installed Call Of Duty (he's a mad fan) :D and also put his music, security software on there and updated Windows for him. He's happy :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Stressed and tearful/optomomistic. It's not plain sailing but both are still breathing in and out.
Thank you for asking, Nashville. I appreciate that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Magic...no one would believe it:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

It's good to have a decent and pleasant person on board :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I try to get to a social group for the blind on a Wednesday when I can.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Aww that's thoughtful

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Off to Plymouth to pay respect to an uncle I never saw - "missing presumed dead" said the telegram...
Icy February, on a destroyer, North Sea and torpedos saw an end to him.
Wish I had met him so, so much, so I'm doing the best next that I can.
(Who on earth thinks it was a good idea to call a child Horace ???)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ur blind? Oh dear is that why u were in hospital?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

They are very nice people and understand and have advice on blindness. Unlike me they have had to cope with it much of their lives.

---------- Post added at 19:09 ---------- Previous post was at 19:08 ----------

Yup im blind but I go to hospital for a fair few things :)

Good luck with that :tu: you should see some of the names Natalie is coming up with for our first baby!

Me I always hated 'jefferson'

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

How do you use the computer then dilligaf?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

"some of the names" Share ?
I like the way you say "first" :)
Maggie might agree - but when you find yourself teaching a Heathcliff or Mercedes you have to wonder what the parents were thinking...Oh! and then there's the ones made up after a game of Scrabble :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh yes we plan to have more than one :) as for names well she may well want to use some so I'll get back to you with some later and I'll get her to look in the thread ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I had a good day at group today :) and my final bit of paperwork turned up from social services too.

Natalie likes her teasmade ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The Quality Manager spoke to me about extending my contract for another two months, when he realised it would end on New Years Eve, he asked 3 months OK.

I said I'm here as long as I'm needed.

I guess I'll be doing this until the guy I'm temping for comes back, or doesn't (I've been told he's terminal:()

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What chtract

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank goodness you don't feel grrr Dilli otherwise heaven know what you'd get up to next! :D:D:D

Give yourself a big pat on the back Hom3r, he obviously thinks very highly of you and your work. I hope the original job holder makes a full recovery, would the firm consider job sharing? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Another day and my mum is still in hospital but she is improving all the time and hopefully next week they will let her come out of hospital.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm glad she's improving - keep us informed :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l will and like all patients in hospital she justs to come out and sit in her own chair and sleep in her own bed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Understandable Den nobody likes hospitals, keeping fingers crossed she makes 100% recovery soon. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you kindly.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope your Mum gets out soon, I know we need hospitals but once we get the correct treatment, we just want home and be back in our comforts. Best Wishes to her & all the family.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So do I . Hope she improves

At St Pancras with a cold pint of 1664 in hand, then off to get the tube to Waterloo and off to Hampshire to visit some rellies for a long weekend (some alcohol may be consumed).

Life is good.....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

More good news today, wow is all I can say, just wow.

I may well be getting an embosser with my Perkins APH

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

From what I've been hearing, he's got stomach cancer, which has spread to his liver and throat, and people had said they are suprised he has lasted this long.

So I guess I'll be doing a rolling temporary contract until he comes back or doesn't.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l love St Pancras train station as l am a avid follower of trains and railways and in St Pancras train station we have a wonderful architectural wonder which to me is one of the wonders of the world.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You stick it in......... Oh never mind :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I already answered the question:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Spent the weekend in Glasgow. First time I was back after spending 6 months there 20 odd years ago as a cash strapped student living in crappy dorms.

I was a bit surprised to learn that Glasgow can actually be quite nice...

Saw Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler perform at Braehead Arena, spent 90 minutes waiting for a taxi afterwards (lovely people in the queue), did the School of Art tour, and had a brief visit to the West End. Drove past my old digs, visited Kelvin Grove Museum (really nice. Cracking Glasgow style exhibit. Nice to see that Dali's Christ on the Cross now has its own room). Lots of memories revisited, mixed emotions...

Worst thing: Some Moron renamed/rebranded/closed The Brewey Tap :mad: :upyours:

Best thing: I'd forgotten how incredibly friendly and helpful the Glaswegians actually are. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We lull you in;) Next time we'll teach about rebranding :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was going to have a pint at the Brewery Tap and ask them to play 'losing my religion' by REM (I used to live in the digs at Kelvinhaugh Str. where they stuck all the foreigners). I ended up with a coke and Panini at Carlisle services...

I spent many happy hours at the Tap. One of the few Glasgow pubs that allowed you to have a drink outside. The 'terrace' is still there. Great views of Kelvingrove and the Uni.

Oh: I see King Tut's is still going. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am very glad that you enjoyed your visit back to Glasgow. Did you not expect us to be nice? We are really very pleasant friendly people. I wish you could have come to the Glasgow,s Grand Ole Opry. You would have had a great time. We get visitors from all over the world and they love it. Bar prices are fantastic too. I expect you saw many many changes,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ermm, all I said was that I had a bit of a rough time as a cash-strapped exchange student 20 years ago, and that I'd forgotten how friendly the people were.

I went to the Opry last time around. It was ermm, a bit naff I'm afraid to say ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I saved a bunny from being squashed yesterday. Stopped my car. It was bang in the middle of the road as if it was suicidal.
Went up, got him off the road, and put him down in the field away from the road. He then hopped away.
Yay :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Passed my ITQ Qualification :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congrats MadGamer!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations MG. :clap: That feels very quick. It's doesn't seem like two minutes since the last one. You certainly seem to be on a roll. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I tend to pick things up very quickly and having already done a BTEC First/ National Diplomas at college, it helped quite a bit. The only thing I wont be able to do is the level 2 English and Maths, as Learn Direct no longer have the funding for it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Very well done MG.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well Done :)

In Jersey (CI) with my wife, for a couple of days away chillaxing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think the rabbit must have Myxomatosis, as it wouldn't have let you touch it.

I have to chase my sisters around the garden to put it in its hutch, even though I have looked after him for 10 days and had to feed him and he has even let me pick him up.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Is that when you think that you right toes are your left and vice versa:D

It may be thinking that you are not having it for dinner:D Only joking

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Madgamer what's next? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My blue badge arrived - yay. Now I wonder if I'll use it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yay indeedy, That seems very quick, I have known people wait at least a couple of months to get their Blue Badge in my area.

I think you will be surprised how useful it can be. My Father had one, shopping trips and hospital visits were a lot easier when we no longer needed to drive around for ages looking for somewhere to park. Granted he was a lot older but not having a half mile hike before he even got through the front entrance would be a bonus for anyone who seems to have more than their fair share of health problems. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think it was (relatively) quick as I didn't need to go off for an assessment to get one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

English and Maths level 2, but Learn Direct no longer have funding for this, so I will have to look elsewhere :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What type of level 2?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Sorry.. yep you are correct.. show's how tired I feel (had headaches this past month or two :( but that really is a whole other thread)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Take a break from computers.

Have a small tipple and snuggle up to he other half while watch a good film.
