Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

5lb off again this week that is now more than 4 stone in 13 weeks . Could be as few as 3 weeks off my original end of year goal so could be over a stone lower than I planned

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Another productive meeting at the Rectory - nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l am glad things are going well dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's the spirit! Hope it works out for you. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I borrowed the camcorder from the church for this weekends family service (to put my bit up on the projector screen) - talk about blowing the dust off lol

Still at least it all seems to work ok.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Due to a miscommunication between council and housing I was 552nd place for a bungalow I'd applied for.

But after a call to both parties I've sorted it all out and NOW I'm 2nd.

Fingers crossed and all that ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck Dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you dilli. A bungalow sounds an ideal solution to your housing needs in the future.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Best of luck to you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cheers all :) - I'm now no1 and just awaiting the checks and to see if they can add wheelchair access.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I couldn't possibly comment ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oddest error ever? I can't get bf4 to start in full screen mode and when I try to switch to full screen it loads the screen reader up and starts telling me what's going on.

Pretty irritating but funny too.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got the dreaded DWP letter this morning. But good the news is that I'm to stay in the support for the next 2 years at least. What a huge relief.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great news.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Brilliant News and a load of your mind

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks, I've been slightly stressed out by all this so now I can hopefully relax for a little while at least. It's such a weight off that's for sure.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got a uniform finally on Thursday for work, as my boss got an absolute bollocking about it last week. Work is now 5 days a week, 6 hours a shift. 10 to 4 every shift, and it looks like I am getting my feet in the door there. I am being called to help customers more now, and even left on my own on the shop floor today for an hour.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great news Mark.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes yes yes the noisy neighbours have moved out at last.:cleader::cleader::hyper::hyper:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well that IS good :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The worst neighbours you could ever have dilli and touch wood the new people moving in are a middle aged couple.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Jerry the mouse has finally been evicted! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I had neighbours that tried to smash me up with a baseball bat. But they didn't get far ;)

---------- Post added at 13:59 ---------- Previous post was at 13:57 ----------

if the bungalow goes through I'll be the only young couple in an older environment I hope they don't prejudge me but I bet they do :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My lad is back today, after a fortnight in the State visiting friends he went to college with over there.

It will be good to see him again after two weeks away.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

give it 20 or 30 years and you'll blend right:) in

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes with family absence does make us miss our offspring.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've only recently started getting on well with the neighbours here - oh well...

I had a sneaky drive over with Natalie to have a look at the potential new place today.

I should find out this coming week if I get it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Fingers still crossed dilli.

As for getting on with any new neighbours, well I am sure any community of oldies will welcome such an upstanding and helpful young couple as you and Natalie. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Another beautiful great-granddaughter, born yesterday.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is indeed something well worth celebrating.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cool :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news Tinky. Any names yet

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Happy news Tinky, I hope Mum and baby are well.

Great Granny is such a mouthful, will you be shortening the title for this wee one?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My first official 10k run today, the annual Richard Burton 10k in Port Talbot. Just looking to get a decent time considering the injuries I've had this year. A sub-60 is expected and if I can get sub-55 I'll be happy, sub-50 and I'll be amazed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Best of luck with that Russ and a nice sunny day too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just do your best Russ as that's all you can ask for given your injuries and at least the weather does not look too bad at the moment.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cheers - weather for Cwmavon says it'll be raining but that's not too bad, I prefer running when it's like that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

@ Russ, I guess you are part way through the run but wanted to say good luck and I hope the leg stays strong. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

53.08 - happy with that! Was hoping for better but considering I'd been out for most of the summer with injuries and only really started back about 2 weeks I'm not complaining too much at my new PB :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

6lb off this week little less than 7lb to my end of year goal would be great to do it this coming week but I am a little broken so have to take it easy for a few days

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Official results just came in, 224th out of 400+, happy with that too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Russ. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cheers all - and Amani and I have just found out we're expecting our first child together in July :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now that is something to celebrate.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news Russ.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations for the second time Russ. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congrats, good luck.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Manhattan we go.....

(just off with some friends for a long weekend).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And which dwarf are you Sir?.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Happy...:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well l think there must be several on this forum who would be suitable for the position of Mr Grumpy.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

How rich Tory fat cats live eh?!!!! Down with the elite!!!!! :mad:
























Enjoy mate!

:D





PS - Don't forget to stock up on cheap pressies. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a great time.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Definitely looks like the opportunity of doing a George Foreman is on for next year ( just need my eye to be ok next week ) all I need to do is get fit so next summer maybe

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If I can take notice of whispers going around at work, apparently my 4 week review will be coming up within the next week and that at the end of the review I will be offered a permanent role in the warehouse. Not sure whether to be confident about it happening as the ones telling me this are known for their joking around. If I had to put a figure on it, I'd say I am about 70% confident to believe them.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We've got one of those, bit difficult to clean though... :erm:

My happy thought, I've finally got my social security number. I can now have a bank account and get a job. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just came in from tonight's 5.1 mile run, which means over the past 7 days I've run a total of 23 miles, pretty much surprising myself considering I was out most of the summer with injuries and only really started back running about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Half, or even full marathon beckons next year....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am not on about a grill I am on about a comeback to the ring at a mature age ( you did of course gather that I assume lol) lol lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes, I was just joshin' ya (as they say over here)...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

was a bit disappointed in my weight loss this week only 3.5 lb still leaves a little over 3 for my end of year goal and I am injured still so no weights. Hope I will make it still by next week though. However my sparring was the best yet so the rest has made a huge difference. I could feel my old self got my kicks going turning kicks my old favorite the hook kick and even threw a few spinning kicks in for good measure

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Had a mini review today at work, was due on Halloween. Apparently, apart from a couple of minor points that need to be discussed (which apparently everyone is getting told not just me), and that if he can get approval from area management once my work placement is over and seasonal contract finishes on Christmas Eve I will be given a permanent full time contract in the New Year.

Apparently two of the supervisors who are hard to please have both been leaving reports of praise for the manager to see and other workers feedback is good. I have even been asked to walk down to tills with cash office staff while they take money out of the tills and back to the office, which shows trust in someone they have only known for a month.

Oh, and I know I shouldn't gloat but the one supervisor I didn't like has now been demoted to working on the tills. She turned around the other week and said she could only do 4 hours meaning the other 2 in the cash office were doing 11 hour shifts last week and this week.

Shame I have a cold to ruin my excellent mood tonight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You may have a cold Mark but your happiness still shines through. Well done. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Two weeks till the Xbox One is released. Need I say more? :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Someone I work with has tried booking the day the console comes out off. Shame for him then that during November and December no-one is allowed holiday leave. Think he will be calling in sick the day of launch lol.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Checkout the neogaf post i made in the xbox One thread you can even decide what your gamerpic will be. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have one and it's brilliant if a little odd to drink out of :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

For those odd times when you want to go incognito? I have used one on the odd occasion and no one recognised me, very effective piece of kit. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

In tesco's today I saw coca cola gift packs and bottle openers, quite nifty

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm happy as I manAged to fix my PC with a new cooler. I didn't think I could still do that.

I did stuff it up at first but sorted it on another go.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

well done dude

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's excellent news dilli.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

There was shocking news earlier this week about the death of Celine Dion, No one was more shocked than Celine Dion herself :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We have just had our car insurance yearly letter come through this morning and thus it is £24 a month cheaper a month plus we have just cancelled two direct debits as well which we don't need anymore so all in all we are £35 a month better off.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got a four day week next week, then off for 10 days starting Friday 22nd and I'll be playing my new xbox

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you enjoy your days off

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Mine was £69 cheaper, but they've worn me down and I can't be bothered running round to find cheaper,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well £69 less is nothing to stiff about.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is when you still paying £380 for 21 years blame free claims, I was hit while parked 2 years ago and my premium went up £50.

I guess I'm being discriminated for being single and having no kids:erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My insurance went up with direct line after my blame free right off, so i cant get insurance from them anymore without it costing alot more.

I recommend Aviva as they havent put my renewal up in 2yrs, i was actually shocked.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

smashed my end of year goal this week with a 6.5 lb loss brings my total to 73 lb chuffed as a person who is chuffed

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Had a very annoying error that kept crashing Google in IE11, it was something to do with DW20.EXE.

After using IE in metro I found a solution, Delete your history, problem solved, and Lappy survives being thrown across the room :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Many congrats Tizme quite a feat to have achieved this more than once. Pat on the back for you. :nworthy:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just smashed my PB for distance running, 7.26 miles and I felt I probably could have gone a bit further too. Also turns out that along the way I took a new PB time for 10k too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You're now a member of the saddo club. :D

It has taken me years to just get over the 3k mark. Must be a sign of quality rather than quantity. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

dunno what's going on with me then ;) :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to be home again in a nice snug warm house after a week in cold Newcastle. ;)

Lightweight!;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

For the first time since leaving school 12 years ago I am below 110 kilos in weight. Feeling very pleased with myself, not far to go to get to my target of 100 kilos. Doubt I will make it by new year, but will give it a damn good go.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

well done :) for the first time in years I am lighter than Peter Griffin lol
