Not only did I get a better deal with BT (no VM cable out here ;)) - and I also have a nice shiny new youview box coming for free and no 'activation fee' - nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's excellent dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Osem Jnr has just been told that his Sensei is putting him forward for consideration for promotion to Black Belt 2nd Dan. Of course I am biased, but he's worked and trained so hard over the years since he achieved the black belt that I think he thoroughly deserves what is quite an accolade. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Am on hospital radio tonight playing great music....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's wonderful to hear Osem and you have a son to be proud of.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's a great service. :tu:

Thanks Den, it's not a done deal by any means as it has to go to a panel of senior senseis but even if he doesn't make it this time we're still proud of what he's achieved.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks Osem we do our best!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Do you ever slip a few real stinkers into the playlist to see if everyone's paying attention? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not when doing a classical music show no!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Trying to get fit by walking in my 30 min lunch, aiming to walk more that 1.3 miles, today did 1.54 miles and my shirt was soaking with sweat, fun afternoon.

try again tomorrow hopefully not on 30c heat.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun... ;)

There are no classical stinkers? ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Everything to be shipped has gone from the apartment. Charity coming tomorrow to take the remaining furniture. Started cleaning ready for departure, exhausted...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope everything runs smoothly Cobby.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks Den never been so stressed!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It'll all be worth it. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes l can certainly understand the stress.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mrs Osem coming home from her 2 week holiday today. :)

Now I just need to get the house tidy and start feeding the kids again... :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So alas the first things you will need are a feather duster , a hoover and a nice apron to start the cooking before the boss arrives back.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Make that a pink pinny :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just glad to be back on the board. Missed you all. Having a lazy day after doing the washing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have you thought about doing it in the morning before work?

I decided to catch bus slightly earlier than normal to work, and get off before my normal stop, and walk

About 1.1 miles, burns about 117 calories

i wanted to enjoy more of the nice weather. As long as rain keeps away, may continue in Winter

l hope you are fine and well Nash and welcome back to the forum for the great and the good.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Going out for the afternoon tomorrow:angel:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am glad that Lucky has nothing long term wrong with him.

He's underweight and was literally riddled with fleas (Which I guess is why they washed him in head and shoulders :()

We've got to spray the house too now.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am fine Den. When I came back from Holiday I did not have any messages from the board & I never got round to bringing the page up. When I finally got a message I realised to myself I missed you all. Back to Normal till our next Holiday. We had a great time in Texas. Brilliant Music & plenty sunshine. It was nice to meet some friends again.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well it's nice to see you about again. :tu:

I've finished and sent out this week's church newsletter early - so I'm off to bed for a kip, yay :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

+1 from me nash. Lovely to see you back.

I hate it when one of our regular posters disappears. I always think the worst.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks I am glad to be back. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

eek...maybe i better not ask. This sounds detrimental to your health

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks everyone. I am glad to say my health is fine. but I can understand what you mean. I would be the same myself.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just thinking that the forum has seemed a much nicer place over the last couple of days. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hmmm. I was away for work the last couple of days, so I haven't posted... :angel:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

When you are in integrity, help those who are not;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Smashed 3 PBs on my Parkrun 5k this morning - overall time, fastest mile and fastest kilometre. Pretty happy with that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's excellent Russ and keep up the good work.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just won the work bonus ball so money is coming my way. Get in

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mrs Osem's safe and sound back at home, suitably chilled and bronzed and delighted to find out that she passed her reflexology exam with 'Merit'. The kids are elsewhere for the evening and I'm just wondering what the hell I'm doing on here... ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've been walking around 1.5miles in my 30 min. dinner break, I use RunKeeper.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No probs, just thought it is cooler in the morning, and quite refreshing walking then (no pesky sun overheating you).

But keep up good work, good habits are the key

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We went out for a drive in the country today. Nice and Sunny in Glasgow . Now I need my dinner.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We have been to a lovely Christening. We would never normally step foot in a church but the service was led by a friend home from his Missionary duties and seeing him Christen his Niece was a very happy, but moving, experience.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That must have been nice for you today.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It was indeed nash and I am about to have a cup of tea with a slice of the Christening Cake. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you. Another Happy Thought. I heard a country song by George Jones called 50,000 Names carved on a wall on FB & I loved it. I looked for the Cd on Amazon & they wanted $47 for it. I looked out my collection & realised I had the CD myself. I think they just cash in when someone passes away. Just playing it just now.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes good old George was a true Country and Western legend who's name will live on for people to enjoy for many decades ahead.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am proud to say I met him in Ireland when we were over for a concert. George & Nancy were staying at the same hotel & we all had breakfast together. He was a very down to earth guy & sat & had a chat before they went on the Tour bus. I have beautiful Pictures and good memories of the great George Jones.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I quit smoking a year ago today, and I haven't had a single fag since :)

(and I was smoking 25 Marlboro Reds a day)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's brilliant Dan and shows you have great willpower and just keep up the good work.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done, I wish my aunt had the same willpower as you obviously have. I hate smoking with a passion, I was breathing in cigarette smoke every day for 12 years before my mum gave up smoking. I blame that for my asthma now.

My happy thought of the day: I have a job interview tomorrow. First one for a year, so hoping this is a good omen.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to hear it. Hope you can keep it up. Do you save the money that you would have spent on cigs

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Dan, a virtual pat on the back from me. :)
Very pleased for you Mark. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie's birthday next week, I've been planning a whole week of activities for her as she also has the week off :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Things like a good spring clean, the ironing, the cooker needs a good sort out etc etc is a good place to start. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What do you think I do at home all day? ;) :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l am sure she will have a wonderful time with all the activities you have planned for her dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's sounds lovely and cute dilli.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not very much? :) :angel:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

hey I've finished the washing, ironing, washing up and hovering this morning.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one :tu:

---------- Post added at 00:59 ---------- Previous post was at 00:56 ----------

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I'm down to a size 38 from 44 and still dropping. every cloud has a silver lining and ask that ;-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

How high were you hovering to cause your feet to bleed. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Just won £33.75 from a £5 bet for 3 bets i put on Sat eve. Before that i played £5 on roulette machine and won £5.70 so win, win, win at mo.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Mr Stokes.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks you very much. No more gambling for me for a bit

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If I had just won twice in a row I think I could easily be persuaded to have a 3rd small flutter on the lottery. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I did lotto at weekend and didnt win. TBH ive done quite well in last few days as last Saturday (not the one just gone the one before) i won works bonus ball which was a grand total of £46, then Sat just gone i won £5 on roulette machine so put that on a bet for Chelsea, Man Utd and England to win 4th test and won that today with a total of £33.75 from that. Ok so lost £2 on lotto but cant have it all. Winnings in just over a week - £84.75

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I put a bet on for England to beat Scotland and i won. Woohoo. Put on £5 and got £7 back

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am never very lucky to win much an odd £10 on the Lottery and then nothing for years. Some people are lucky all the time. Must be Lucky in love.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Passport and visa package to be delivered on Monday.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great news Cobby.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Exciting times. Will seem strange knowing you are on the other side of the Atlantic.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My week of outings with Natalie was great - it was nice to get back to my own bed on a night.

And, with luck, she may have next week off too. Although we have yet to have that confirmed from her boss :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have a whole week with no hospital next week...... Yay :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy your week off relaxing! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You are being a naughty man again dilli.:nono::naughty:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What do you mean again :) ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

fixing a really screwed up laptop today. that is taking my mind off things I tell you. and at 25 an hour long may it continue ;-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie is watching some really odd films today, I'd love to list them but I fear my brain had taken a walk in protest. :-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie has now completely spanked Peter and I at scrabble, I hope I can beat her tomorrow.

So I guess I really am thick :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's sounds very tasty indeed heero.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes there is always something we forget with regards to ingredients and yes l have seen those trusty old bowls before as my parents use that type quite a bit.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Been busy today changing curtains. Glad to be finished

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

But Dilli can get away with it Den :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Unless Natalie finds out :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its alright dilli l won't say anything.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

She's a member but I don't think she's logged in for a while.

Peter thinksiI have an obsession too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well, 10 minutes spent with an immigration official and I'm now a permanent resident of the USA. Still hasn't quite sunk in...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Cobby.
