Why is it I am suddenly associating Dilli with Kevin Wilson - Mick the Master Farter...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

OK,
so I've told all my nearest and dearest so I might as well share this with you lot :D

My eldest phoned from his hols with his g/f to say that he has some news: they are engaged.
Great stuff - and I am so proud of him for keeping everything a complete secret to everyone (including his mother grrrr and girlfriend :D ) and asking her parents beforehand for permission to ask for her hand in marriage, chose what sounds like a lovely ring (risky - she's very picky) took her to the beach at sunset half way through their break away, knelt and asked her... It would have taken a lot of courage for him to do that.
I can't stop smiling and leaking tears.
I'm so proud of him for being such a gentleman and brave enough to be so romantic. She will be flashing that stone and gold at every opportunity and be over the moon.
He seems more a 'man' than 'a son' now.
It's great when true love works things out.
Have to go and get more tissues :D

Nearly chocking on my tea watching ITV's 'Florida: Paradise Lost. A ex-pat woman living there with the name Jenny Taylor. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As defirish says, very good news. It's lovely to hear that old fashioned values are still alive and being practised by the youth of to-day. Congratulations to your son and his fiancée.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What is quite scary is before I was ill I could quite easily manage that to myself!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That actually looks very nice to me anyway

What about the KFC Double Down, which two pieces of bacon and two melted slices of cheese, covered in mayonnaise and sandwiched between two slices of battered chicken

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm not going to ask what you are going to shoot me with

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If I shot you with a sniper rifle, I would feel something.


Recoil.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yep nothing wrong with that.

I prefer bacon, banana and peanut butter myself with some blackcurrant jam..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I snuck in disguised as an Albanian washerwoman

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well did the second day of my trial today, but have to wait to see if I go back at 10am on Tuesday. (10am to 4:30pm)

If I'm unsuccessful I have the other job to fall back on, but the hours are longer, and the money less, (6am to 2 pm)

Just waiting for the Agency to call, hopefully tonight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

monkey is back, Im now overwhelmed with happiness. Time to shut the blinds so he cant see in

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

To late.:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Didn't get it, nor did the other woman I was on trail with, but two days wasn't really enough to learn where to put the files in the 90 odd options.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry to hear that Hom3r. Here's hoping the agency comes up with an absolutely smashing job for you. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry about the first job you didn't get but fingers crossed you will get the second one. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks guys.

The second one is draging it's heels (well the CTC), but the agency guy said that there is another job that he should get confirmation next Tuesday/Wednesday and I will get first refusal.

Ironically all 3 of these jobs are in the same local company, which is less than 5 minutes by car away.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Less than 7 days until I move :shocked:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good or bad move. Are you happy about it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good move: Changing town, home, job, complete change of life. I'm getting away from the worst mistake I've ever made in my entire life, and one which has just about cost me everything (including my health, and very nearly my mind). From that point of view I'm happy.

However, I've been here since 1986 so I have a lot of fond memories and a lot of REALLY close and good friends. It's going to be heart breaking to leave them behind, but I know that I have to for my own sake.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Change is a hard thing and of course you will have a lot of memorys that you will leave behind good or bad but remember the memorys will be with you for ever in your heart and will be good to look back at. Im so happy It's a good move for you and I wish you all the best in your new home and job and hope that you will gather as much good memorys as you have done in all your years of living there. With a negative there is always a positive. Im very happy for you

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Health is so importand and you will be able to visit your friends and they you. If we dont experience the bad we will never experinece the good. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm gonna win the lottery tonight i feel it!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Onwards and upwards - I hope everything continues to go well :tu: .... and that you pop in at some point for a tea ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Your peace of mind is much more important than memories so just go forward and never look back.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Happy to be home from our holiday and even happier that the 11 loads of washing have been done :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D

Do you mean dried and ironed and aired and put away too?
Secretly, I could have hugged my washer on more than one occasion after getting home. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you had a good time Mags, how did the flying go, did you enjoy the flight?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope you had a really good 3 weeks away from all the tedium of work and home, but I also expect that you are very happy to be home.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Washed and still being dried, my dryer can't keep up, I'll make the kids (pay them) do the ironing :)

---------- Post added at 10:04 ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 ----------

Had a good time thanks Tinky, but omg I hated flying. It was worse on the flight home as I knew what to expect and the only thing that stopped me crying like a big wean was knowing the kids would rib me for it :erm:

---------- Post added at 10:05 ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 ----------

Had a great time thanks and I love being home again :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Every woman always says that they love being home even when the is still the washing to do, I am glad you enjoyed the break away from everything though.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ham and marmite toastie mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The evil marmite strikes again.:erm::D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ahhhh marmite, yummy.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Why the ham?
Surely burnt wheatgerm bread, instant mash, butter and marmite is the best???
(was a student, had no money and needed to eat :D )
and admit to eating it since :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

instant mash........... :sick:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Back in the day I used to love pot noodle and smash :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am on a diet (again lol) and its wafer thin ham so it gives flavour but no calories lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D
So... I guess you've never tried my concoction :)

I'll have you know, young man, that it was MY chess pawns on the Smash aliens heads advert!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKt-KR1TsRg

It was better than cold tinned beans and burned fish fingers
I believe that student food has moved on since then :D

And I'm a potato-ricer person now :D

---------- Post added at 17:04 ---------- Previous post was at 15:59 ----------


I made an M&S recipe pea soup earlier with stuff from the garden and freezer, and I make bread in a machine...

Yours sounds much nicer :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You're pushing your luck with the 'no calories' thing Zing :D
Sounds good tho -but haven't tried it :)

I have ham in the fridge and marmite squeezy thing in that cupboard....

Edit - tiddle another double post in one day :tiptoe:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Today I was told I was a perfect match for somebody I've never met......

... only for my platelets though .;)

Went for my regular platelet donation and was told that I was a match and the staff seemed quite excited about it.

Apparently some people's antibodies fight and destroy donor platelets because they think they're invaders.

On this occasion my platelets are destined for such an individual. I hope they help:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well as one of these people I thank you from the bottom of my heart. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/69.gif https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2010/08/1.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope so too. I'm sure they'd like to thank you in person.
Your blood must be very special. If I may ask - what blood type are you? Are you a universal donor type?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm common as muck O but the platelets can be used for other blood groups.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D an O+ - me too
but useful ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

At 9am tomorrow I start a temporary assignmet (well Christmas at least) at the company that I was working at last Thurs/Fri. Wages not good (50% cut) but it's better than JSA.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Better than JSA and better for proving you are willing to work to future employers. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Homer I'm so happy for you and hopefully it will lead to a permentant position. You never know.

Homer, well done - hopefully the first step.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one excellent news, I hope something good comes of it.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My happy thought is that with all the incredible overtime ive been doing at work i've been able to put a deposit down on a 49 day old Astra VXR. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

nice one homer :)

My happy thought is I was lured in to the murky world of online casinos but so far Ive managed to avoid spending any cash and have stuck to the free plays. That and I have a huge kebab on its way to me

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one, speaking of incredible overtime I booked 108.5 hours in 8 days :shocked:
