You have some weird Silver Linings dilli. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

At Drew's leaving service today, His Dad, big brother and I were so proud of him. He was word perfect with his lines it is lovely to see the confident, well adjusted little boy he is now compared to what he was a few years ago. Thank goodness we changed him school, I cannot praise his school enough and all they have done for my son especially his headmistress who worked closely with him and us the woman is really amazing IMHO the school and education department is lucky to have her and it goes without saying so are the pupils and parents. Yes I was crying and bursting with pride for my youngest son.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Seems to have worked though :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh WOW I hope that means what I think it means. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Still have a viewing on Thursday but she did approve a larger property and we get up the list a bit more.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good result. Fingers crossed for Thursday's viewing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck with your viewing on Thursday dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck dilli. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I stayed over in Moffat on my way home from a touring holiday in the highlands. A lovely place that reminded me a lot of rural north Wales.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck dilli. Fingers crossed for some good news.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

School finishes today at 1pm then the wee one is off for 6 weeks, thank goodness his big brother can help out with child care. I knew having a 10 year age gap was a good idea. LOL
Still cannot believe the wee one is starting High school after the holidays.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Strange to break up in June and a new year in August :)

Och you are a jock did not know it was that different lol :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's Scotland for you but on the plus side get cheap flights when flying out from Newcastle or Manchester as in England it is still school time, we have saved up to £800 by doing this.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Getting married on Saturday :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wishing you many happy years of marriage and hope the sun shines on your special day Stephen not that the weather is too important apart for the photos, it rained on my wedding day and we have been married for 25 years now, the rain did not spoil our day at all, after all the photos were taken in the hotel.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent - have a great time :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations and best wishes.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Weather looking good in Glasgow for Saturday :Sun: :)

---------- Post added at 12:02 ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 ----------

Think I will take the wee man to M and Ds theme park on Saturday as he has been asking for a while now to go there.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congrats to you and your bride-to-be - you will have one of the best days of your life on Saturday.

Remember to enjoy the day - live for the moment. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you Weenie, Enjoy the school holidays

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck Stephen and l hope you have many many years of happiness to come.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Stephen, I hope you have a brilliant day to remember and a brilliant life thereafter.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Poor sod, you'd be out of jail quicker if you murdered someone.

Seriously, good luck and congratulations.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks nashville, but no doubt I will be pulling my hair out by week 4 as we are not going away this year but will try and get the odd camping trip in here and there weather permitting ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you both have a great life together & get everything you wish for Stephen

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks everyone. Am getting super excited.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

MMMmmm this is to be my new home :)

Happy Happy

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Dili Fantastic news! A new home is a place for memories to be made and dreams to come true. Congratulations on your new home and all the best for the years ahead. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done, dilli.

I hope you and Natalie have many happy years in your new home together.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's going to be so much easier for you to live in.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news, Just a dream house,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm still grinning at your good news.

Will you be needing any alterations, or any decorating before you can move in? Will all your furniture fit? How easy will it be to get to places you like to attend? Will it put you in a better position for transport? Oh so many things I want to ask so will now shut up and retreat before I get slapped. :D :D :D

<<hugs to you both>>

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

bloody hell drill the guy why dont ya lol lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am WOMAN tiz. It is my role in life to be errrrrrr nosey. :angel:

Just wish I lived close enough to give a hand on moving day. :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you and all :)

There will need to be a few done but they won't do them until we are in. Widening all the doors. Making more space in the kitchen. New windows (apparently) remote controlled ones no less ;) and a new bathroom.

Just need to buy carpet for the living room and one of the bedrooms.

Oh yes - it's much bigger :)

I get community transport so no different.

Community transport takes me anywhere in Bedfordshire for £1.50 a trip :)

I don't think I've got the energy now ;)

<<hugs to you both>>[/QUOTE]

Cheers :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It all sounds good dilli. I still can't believe it has finally happened. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent news on the new abode Dilli. :tu:

Couldn't put this in the 'what have you fixed lately' thread as I didn't do the work but it did make me happy. I recently found a leak of coolant emanating from somewhere in the rear wheel arch of my car. I knew there was pipework under there serving the rear air-con/heater unit so guessed that was likely to be the problem. A little searching yielded the answer I didn't want - a design fault which meant that a small vulnerable area of the pipework was prone to corrosion from road salt etc. and required the entire rear section of pipework to be removed and replaced. Fearing a bill of c. £750, I had a look at the rest of the pipework under the car and noticed that the front and rear sections of the pipes were connected with flexible hoses so I thought an acceptable work around would be to simply join the flow and return sections at that point thereby isolating the damaged rear section in situ. A local garage did the job for £60 a couple of days ago and so far so good. We've never used the rear heater in the car anyway and only rarely use the rear air-con which still functions properly so I'm a happy bunny right now. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just bought my youngest son his new school blazer thank goodness the school badge is on it as I hate sewing, he looks so grown up wearing it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Decided to pre empt my deal ending and called Virgin. Got rid of a couple of things, upgraded BB package and now going to pay only £81 a month on the Big Kahuna package. Result!!!!!!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

the alterations needing to be done and leaving them till you move in has always done my head in. I had to decline a perfectly good house years ago due to the fact it had no central heating and a coal fire. I said there is no way I am moving all my stuff in for you to start building work and ruin all my kit with filth.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you Den. Still go check mine

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D That's great den.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

£25 is great :) :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And the bad news is we have spent it already.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoying Dolly Parton on the TV just. Now

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A true C&W legend in my humble opinion.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have had such a good day today went to m and ds with hubby, Drew and his friend. His friend did not want to go on the bungee ball so Duncan went on with him "that man deserves a beer now" LOL. Think I will buy a summer pass for M and Ds as it is a good day out as Drew can now get on the rides he has finally reached the required height much to his delight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just picked keys up :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's great news dilli.

Brilliant news Dill

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one dilli, don't forget got some lagers if you want them for the house warming!

My happy thought is that I took out a loan from the DWP last year to help with costs whilst I was in the middle of signing off then signing back on. Thought I had around £100 left to pay, a relative is offering to clear what's left for me, so called them just now and only have £55 left to pay off. Feeling happy now.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l am glad you are feeling better Mark as there is nothing worse then having debts and loans to pay and we are just grateful in our household that we have no debts or loans to pay now because at one time many years ago we thought are we ever going to clear our debts and loans as it was quite a considerable amount but thankfully two years ago we payed everything off and from that moment onwards we have been debt free thankfully.:Sun:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And just called the hospital because the follow up appointment for my eyes never came. Appointment never made, typical useless hospital. However lovely lady on the phone has made my appointments for next Monday, having a scan of the back of my eyes at half 9, then seeing the consultant at 10. Nice and efficient, only one trip to the hospital. Now to remember to take my sunglasses so the light won't have me squinting.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes he is, I could not have went on it, glad he asked his Dad and not me ;)

So so pleased for you dilli :)

Nice surprise then MarkC1984, looks like we have a happy CF today :) and the sun is out what more could we ask for. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well, I know what I want more than anything today on Centre Court at Wimbledon, but whether I get it or not is another matter.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:nono:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I would be happy if Andy Murray wins today,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Same here nashville.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great result Weenie,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wish I could swear. Had to mar a wonderful day for me. Oh well, there's always his quarterfinal opponent to beat him.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What is the matter with you Marc,,,,,,,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:cleader::cleader::cleader: Go Andy :D

---------- Post added at 19:55 ---------- Previous post was at 19:54 ----------

what is up with you :confused:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just seen Thomas Jefferson's handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence at the New York Public Library - pretty amazing...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Murray. That is all I am saying.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just for a moment there I thought that post was about me ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yay, I have an appointment on Monday to have my ears syringed :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Take it you don't like him then Mark? ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You may not like him Marc. But he proved to everyone that he could win Wimbledon and he did, you cannot take that way from him .

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

this is the happy thought thread and Murrey won why is anyone assuming Mark does not like him?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

'coz he has said in his post his win ruined a happy day, just a guess!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

in which case none of it makes any sense at all

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We're all happy though, that's the main thing, except for mark of course

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh I am today. Nadal on verge of being knocked out, Sharapova out and actually spent a day with my step dad without him making snide comments to me.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Who do you like in Tennis Marc?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Eugenie Bouchard, Laura Robson, nobody really in the men's side of the draw. I used to like Goran Ivanesevic (sp?), Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi oh and also Leyton Hewitt. Not liked any of the men since Federer et al came along.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh it's beautiful day, the sun is shining, noisy dogs have shut up for the day and oh yes the tennis. YEEHAW.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Andy played poorly today, but IMO he is still a champion.

My happy thought today is life is good and getting better for me after a lousy 8 months things are looking up, just wish it was the 11th of July and that's all I'm saying for now. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh dear Mr Grumpy returns with a vengeance.:naughty::nono:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So disappointed today, Andy was just not himself and the other guy had a great chance to take over. Djokovic not to hot today either, I feel as if I have to pick myself up now, I better start being happy ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A sneak preview of the soon to arise dilli empire :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It all looks very nice in there dilli.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's a lovely day so although I have shedloads of work to do I'm shutting down the PC and going for a long walk in the countryside. :Sun: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope you enjoy your long walk Heero as the good weather ain't going to last apparently.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy your walk. It is good for us all to be out in the sunshine ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I went for one yesterday, Thought I was managing my hayfever quite well till I got nearly home and my eyes started streaming. Still it was a lovely walk

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes several of our family suffer from hayfever Tiz but thankfully for myself l seem to avoid it but for sufferer's it can get quite bad sometimes when the pollen count is high sadly.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy your walk heero.
I'm taking Drew and his friends to McDonalds then off to the park afterwards.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have pains in my foot, just discovered I have gout, so long walks are out, taking antibiotics, Hope they help soon.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You must be in a lot of pain nash as gout can be extremely painful for sufferers.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Really bad at times. But I am still getting about, Going to a Bluegrass concert so see John Jorgenson the great guitarist tonight, If I get my shoe on, if not slippers will do, Painkillers help sometimes. Thanks Den

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l always say we must enjoy our lives as we only have one and one never knows whats around the corner.

My happy thought is we are going up to Hampshire sometime in August if everything goes well.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry to hear that nashville, hope the antibiotics work soon.

Had a good day out at the park today the children seemed to have enjoyed their day so that all that's matters.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I agree love to see children happy

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My dear old Dad has cut out a 2 for 1, M and Ds voucher from the paper for me which will mean a saving of £18.50 :) planning on going again sometime in August. Happy children means happy parents :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent savings . Just home from a great show, excellent musicians, and singers.
