Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Not a specific event, but my happy thought for the day?
As you may or may not know, I live with my sister, her boyfriend and their little baby. No matter what kind of awful day I have at work, I know that I am going to go home to a big smile from the baby, probably with a few laughs. Somehow, that makes the day seem a little better. He has started to learn to talk. He hasn't actually learned to form words, but is able to make different sounds, so I get a lot of that as well. The downside is he hasn't learned volume control yet, so he can get rather loud. |

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Yay, I'm going to try and enjoy it this year.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
It will be our Grandson's first Christmas and I am sooooooo looking forward to seeing his reaction to the festivities. The world is such a wondrous place when you see it through the unjaded eyes of a child.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I love Christmas, but with it starting earlier and earlier every year by the time December comes I've had enough of it for that year.

I have a hard time with it as my mum, my sisters son died and I lost a baby all at Christmas time.
But I am going to make more of an effort this year as there is Natalie and her family here. |

Used to make it hard to bear others being happy at Christmas then I made a conscious decision to remember other Christmases, the time my mum dropped the turkey as she was sliding it into the oven and had to wrestle it off the dog. She didn't tell us until after we had all eaten our fill. My Aunt would make the most marvelous trifles on Boxing Day, so alcoholic that we would be positively tipsy if we had seconds, and finally my baby ..that was a hard one to cope with until we had Peter. Somehow coping with the sad memories is now easier and I hope you too can find peace and the strength to celebrate Christmas with Natalie this year. <<hugs>> |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Hoping to see Wingy the wood pigeon again in our garden who has been visiting for 4 years now (his left wing hangs down and touches the ground but he can still fly very well)... He has not been around for a while, but to see him will make me smile.
I know he is a male because he boughs down and chases la fems. |

Congratulations Tinky. I still remember the feeling of satisfaction we felt when we made our last mortgage payment. Enjoy your lunch and have a Vimto to wash it down. :D
|
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Yes several of my friends and family have often said having a mortgage is like having a millstone around your neck sometimes especially when times are hard so yes it is very much a relief when people have finally paid it off and my parents have about a year to go on theirs now and once that's done it will free up quite a bit more of disposable income.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Doing well on my diet. I know I have lost weight but do not know how much but my whole outlook has changed. It is almost like a 180 degree turn around. I had given up but now I have every intention of getting fit again and doing some more fight training which I have already started . Mind you I do feel old after that lol

Another crappy day today - I had another problem with my feet, so I phoned up and they had me come in straight away.
Anyway my happy thought was I managed to get a new colour combination on my cast, so it was all worth it :) |

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Just had my first ice bath. I've been dreading it but as I have a shin injury that keeps me off the road I'm using the gym cross trainer and like today, bootcamp. They do a lot of heavy thigh work and afterwards I had trouble walking back to my car.
The hardest part was lowering myself in to the bath but once I was in and added the ice it wasn't so bad and when I got out my thighs were fine - obviously tired from the workout but none of the usual aches. I now fully recommend them :tu: |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Taking the misses to Devon, Exeter to see ones sister for 5 days.. visiting the Eden project in Cornwall as she has never been before.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I first went a couple of months after it had opened, I think they have done a lot more the project.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

In the winter you had ice on the inside of your bedroom windows - double glazing what is that...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Just came back from a mad and extended weekend, brother-in-law's 30th at Go Ape in Sherwood Forest with him, my OH (his sister), my sis-in-law, their respective OHs and a few friends. It was AWESOME. We went Segway racing there too, I could never see the attraction of them before but now I love them! Would love to do that again, minus the bump I look when we were let loose in a field and 1 wheel hit a hole in the ground at 20mph (pretty fast when you're on one of those things) and I flipped over the top.
Still a great day out and totally recommended :tu: |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Daughter may get mentioned on the One Show tonight for unearthing one of the very few Butterflies Alfred Russell Wallace collected in the Amazon. Most of his collections from there were lost following a fire which caused the ship to sink on the way home.

Before the Perkins was the STAINSBY
I've just had one donated to me , The main difference for those who are interested is that you had to braille backwards on the sttainsby and when you took the paper off the board it was the right way round. The perkins brailles correctly while using it. http://www.typewriter.be/improvedstainsby.htm |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
A relative of mine who I never got on with died a few months ago. Got a letter yesterday saying she had left me £350. So I am now going to treat myself to a new pair of trainers and maybe even a computer game or two. And a new bed as well. Still enough left after to get a few Christmas pressies as well.
