Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I read her book Be Beautiful, Be You. What a tremendously positive outlook on life something IMO we could all learn from through this ladies wise words..., made my moans and sometimes self pity seem really trivial example what does it matter what people think as long as your a good person does it really matter what others think of you and the way you look. Answer is NO just because of the way you look should not matter, it is the person you are that matters. So this is a happy thought whether you watch this truly remarkable lady speaking or reading her book, believe me her words of wisdom will stay with you. My thoughts after reading her book and watching her video were OMG what a truly remarkable Lady. Her parents must be so proud.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm going to get that book.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It will be worth it I promise you that you will take something from this book that will stick with you. It was Lizzie's determination to hold her head high and show the world that we should focus on inner beauty and that she would not change a thing despite once being a little girl with tears in her eyes who just wanted to fit in with her peers and be liked. Really moving true story...of pure determination.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Watching the Gadget Show and it was talking about Backing up data.

It said that Windows 8.1 has one called File History, I checked and found out that it had put it on my NAS drive in a DVD folder I created (Why not ask me where to put it?)

So I created a Backup folder and told FH to save here, it asked me did I want to move the contents from the DVD folder to the new folder, I said yes and it started to move 48GBs of data I freaked when it said about 23 hours, but was well jell when it only took about 3 hours.

So now of to change the laptop sleep setting back to normal.

Thanks nash.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

An allegation was made about me recently which was untrue. I had never been in that sort of situation before and even though I knew I had nothing to worry about the whole process was very unnerving (perhaps it's designed that way?) and would potentially entail protracted uncertainty but last night I had a fantastic phone call to confirm that it was going nowhere and I could happily go about my business :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great to hear Russ as these things can be upsetting to say the least.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I bet it was someone full of jealously Russ, really you need to pity them in a way as they are just plain nasty to have made an untrue allegation really not a nice person. People like that make me :mad: the unnecessary worry they have caused you ... as you say the whole process was very unnerving.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The boiler is FIXED - I'm off to bath until I am but a giant prune :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to hear it ... Enjoy dilli :) and remember the Radox Relax Bath Soak ... ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

God news indeed Russ. Knowing you have done nothing wrong does not always squash those niggling doubts that you wont be believed. Only been in that position once in my whole life thankfully but I can still remember the sleepless nights it caused until the situation was resolved. :tu:

Very good news dilli and about time too!!!! I guess the silver lining will be a slightly reduced gas bill but I know I would rather have a working boiler. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Parents evening tonight and the wee one is on track for high school and got told what every parent wants to hear is that we have a well mannered and well adjusted little boy a pleasure to have in class and wishes she had a class full of him. Bragging about him Oh yes :D so so pleased

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Strange one to go in happy thoughts thread but finally been diagnosed with an AF not constant which is why I have never managed to get on an ECG when I had it before but I woke up with it and just went straight to gp they had me on an ECG within 5 minutes it is such a relief to finally get it recognized and not as always before just been put down to my anxiety condition

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I get your meaning. There is finally a name to put to it rather than being fobbed off with excuses or blaming you for it. What happens next?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well he called the hospital and because my heart rate was only 150 ( I know still high) they said if I wanted to go hospital today then I would have to go to A&E. The doc said he would get me an appointment asap and put me on aspirin for now told me not to train unless I know they are clear

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I know how you feel. I woke up one morning with a heart rate of 144, seen the GP and he sent me to the hospital (by ambulance). Mine could be kidney related but they are keeping an eye on things. My avg is still around 100bpm at rest.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

did you mean to quote me then lol

My normal resting is around 70 I am quite fit for my size so having it beat @ 150+ at rest is quite high by comparison. Thankfully he said I can still train as long as its not while I have them present or just after

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Blooming chickens after 4 months of them molting between them now I have more eggs than I know what to do with lol

Cleaned my fish tank. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2014/03/1.gif

Would normally have moaned about doing it but this is the first time for several months that I have had enough energy to do it all on my own. Really chuffed. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Is that a euphemism?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well after another armpit of a week I've decided to put it behind me :)
Natalie did my hair earlier - now I look like a flamingo with a stick and a bald head.

Sometimes you've just got to let it all flow past you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Or Spurs:(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Can we have some pictures of your hair dilli as l am sure it is a sight indeed now.;):D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D Love your sense of humour dilli ...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hhhmmm

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You look very fine and dapper there dilli and l do like those socks.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I wish they were socks ;) - they are a total contact cast.

Addenbrookes' have a choice of eight colours :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And you picked Pink of all colours.... :shocked: Got to admire your sense of humour. :D

Or was it your choice, lol.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It was my choice. Seeing some friends of mine during the week and I thought I'd let their children draw flowers on them :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry about thinking they were socks dilli but the casts do look nice and colourful that's for sure.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The children will have great fun doing that ...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I like to make people smile :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hey you have matching shoes as well!!!!!

Maybe Natalie and you could do another session at the church whilst you have matching casts, the pink would look great with a Strawberry costume. < Jo runs away giggling>

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After weeks of hard graft on our house i.e. painting, decorating, mending, cleaning, gardening etc I have finally called in the valuers with a view to selling. We have got two estate agents coming tomorrow, keep fingers crossed they agree our anticipated price. :handshake

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I will certainly be sending positive vibes your way tomorrow Tinky. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck Tinky.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you get the price you want and wishing you a speedy sale and a fab new home soon ... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck tink

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Jo, Den, Weenie & Daddy thank you for your kind wishes. I am told moving house is one of the most stressful times in our lives............:erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is really stressful, what I found hard was the home showings and trying to keep my home looking great and visitor ready just incase walk through buyers dropped by, I for one would never do that again and if I did ever sell again it would be by appointment only, at least that way you know they are serious buyers and not time waster's and the big plus by doing this is you are prepared for the visit. Who bought my house did two visits so that is a good sign if they ask for another visit. Fingers crossed you sell soon Tinky :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Off to Liverpool on Friday for a fun filled weekend of drinking and horse racing...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just been accepted on to a medical research study in to treatments for ADHD. I haven't done a study in almost 10 years and as I'm happy to do anything to help beat the condition I'm really looking forward to this. Nice trip to London later this month, all paid for by the University undertaking the study :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I always behave :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Maybe you have forgotten to add "badly" on the end of that lol x



Sick of my wheelchair, sick of the constant bone crushing pain, sick of all the tablets and Morphine and sick of not being able to do what I use to, so why have I posted this in the happy thread?

Because I have a wonderful family and friends that make life worth living :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Went to see Grease last night performed by the local young drama students really good show and hopefully they raised a good amount for their drama club the tickets were only £10.00 and a donation for the schedule and may I say the show was 1st class. Well done to all who performed and organized the event it really was a breath of fresh air, these young ones doing something they loved as many of the youth of today seem to do nothing with their lives so well done to all involved. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh Jules I feel for you, our troubles fade into insignificance compared to (daily) what you must have to contend with. :sorry::hugs:

Our chosen estate agent came today and took photos/measurements, house on the market next week, keep fingers crossed for a quick sale. :)

l gather sobriety was not top of your do's down in deepest Cornwall.;):D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have you ever clayed it?
I'll be doing mine again the weekend.

No, it's not a Rover :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Claying isn't abrasive. you just wash the car, go over it with clay and plenty of lubricant. it leaves the paintwork with a mirror like finish.

then you polish and wax it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ok. you know best.

but you're missing out :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Amazon extended my Prime 3 month trial by another month because I complained.

and I got another refund on Ebay.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:tu: cool

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You see Gary if you behave good things come to you.;):D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well just glad to get this mornings CT scan out of the way as it was a mite uncomfortable to say the least.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I had to shout and get angry to get them :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry to hear that, at least it is over now denphone, now go and put your feet up and get some rest Weenie's orders LOL and don't forget with something nice to eat and drink beside you. Fingers crossed, you get good results from the CT scan, try not to worry.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to see you got it sored though :) :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

@ denphone, glad to hear the scan has been done. Hopefully the results will be reported in this thread soon. <<hugs>>

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you kindly Dilli , weenie and jo and hopefully l should know the results in a couple of weeks given that Easter is coming up next week.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck, den.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Keeping fingers crossed for you Den for good results :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad you got it over and done with. I had my MRI yesterday and I'm still getting over it now - 40 minutes headlocked in a tight tunnel with severe claustrophobia isn't easy for me to get over . This time round the diazepam didn't really help enough, I was a wreck as soon as they put the head cage on. Personally I can't think of anything worse than them, even though that was my 5th. All week I've been quiet and stressed out to the max just thinking about it, so glad it's over and done with.

Good luck with your results too.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad your date with the MRI scanner is over peanut. I don't like having them so having to have one when you are claustrophobic sounds like a nightmare situation. Hopefully your stress levels will now return to normal.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry about your ordeal yesterday with your MRI scan Peanut and and lets hope the results are good for you as these things are never nice to say the least to go through.:ghugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sounds awful Peanut and the stress would not have done your illness any good :(, hope you get good news when the results come through. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks for your replies. :)

To be honest it was the 5th attempt. As 3 now have been successful (drugged up), and 2 had to be abandoned as I freaked out, that's how much I hate them.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was around that way earlier. coming off the M5. never seen one single Rover at the time.

you usually see a whole load of you driving slowly. so as not to disturb the rust and filler too much :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You'll have to park a few streets away then. neighbours are a bit funny here :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Bit of a bitter-sweet one, glad and happy for my mates at the running club who are doing the London Marathon today. Gutted that I'm not one of them but I'll be applying again next year and hoping I get chosen. THIS is the medal I want.
