Very good thanks. Not sure he's ever seen a train quite like that so when he gets back and I show him we'll see what he says.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A new year and hopefully a better year than 2014. So Happy New Year everyone.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is becoming a bit of a habit! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I admit I geeked out at the Eye clinic today when none other than Professor Stephen Hawking was also there getting his eyes done.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:D Why you old name dropper. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I also had a fair bit of wheelchair envy! ;) :)

When i was younger i used to see him burn passed me by the river a few times in his chair. :)

Just been shopping with some of my Christmas money.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My dog Keane acting daft chasing his tail always makes me laugh.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes we remember our dog doing that but keep a eye as some dogs will end up biting around their tail weenie.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I will den although he doesn't chase his tail as much these day's but when he does I do think it is extremely funny.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You certainly are a lucky man as he is one of my idols.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yep. We're relaxing and trying not to drink or eat too much. Done some coastal walks to get a breath of fresh air.

That's becoming a habit. LOL.

My younger sister is coming down here (Sennen) on Tuesday to take my mother up to Redruth hospital on Wednesday for a 24hr monitor to be fitted. At least I get to see her for a few hours before we come back up on the train. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My mother in law bought me a new office chair - nice :)

Everyone else hates it because I went for cream for a change ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l simply don't believe it as l won another £100 at the bingo and there is one more go at bingo before we go back next weekend.:D

---------- Post added at 08:58 ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 ----------

Very nice dilli and there is nothing wrong with that colour.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you all have a good time wherever you go

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Only problem I have with cream is it shows dirt quicker than a black chair does. But I think that says more about how often I polish/hoover my chair tbh.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Osem Jnr's just got himself the equivalent of a '1st' in his first major University assignment along with some highly complimentary comments from the two staff who marked it. Long may it continue, I hope... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well l did not win at bingo last night but my Dad won £550 thus winnings are split into four.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Shocking! you guys could make a winning with this...... anymore wins and you will have to pay tax on it! joking! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Something fishy going on??... :erm: ;)

Carry on like this and they'll ban you. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We only go bingo when we visit our family so it will be quite a while before we go again.:D

---------- Post added at 11:17 ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 ----------

And there was me saying we never win anything which was true until these last few weeks.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent Win ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Paid the outstanding part of the VM bill this morning so we should get the service back shortly.

At least my backup PAYG dongle can get a good 3G connection here in Worthing, quite speedy considering and a refreshing change from down in Cornwall.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done to Osem Jnr :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A few years back while on holiday my Mum, Dad & me all won around £350 each on the camps bingo, well that was a week paid for :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I don't believe I've ever won any cash on bingo / lottery or anything like that.

But hey ho and all that :)

Good luck and well done to those that have and may you win much more :tu:

The only time Natalie and I got any signal when we were on holiday in cornwall was on the wifi while were out at breakfast at the pub.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Drinks on you then :beer: :beer:

Congrats btw

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I had a win last night in a raffle. Half bottle of Vodka. , Something to put in the cupboard for visitors, Glad to get a win

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done nash.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That warm fuzzy feeling when someone that has been a complete and utter tool to me and my family finally get what's coming to them and I get to hear all about it. Not normally into revenge but in this case I made an exception :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Home sweet home.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not really a happy thought as such, more a wonderful example of irony, and those of you who have me on Facebook will know this already, but.

Before Christmas, I ordered an Otterbox Defender case for my iPad Air. This case is supposedly almost indestructible yet turned up in packaging marked "Fragile".

Excellent case though. Certainly seems able to take the abuse my two year old nephew gleefully throws at it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent nash :)

My happy thought is I've managed to put on some weight my Doctor & I are delighted with this news and to think this time last year I was trying to lose some weight it just goes to show be careful what you wish for.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's cool :)

As it happens the dietician at the hospital is telling me off for losing weight too quickly. Like I'm doing it on purpose ;) :)

---------- Post added at 11:41 ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 ----------

I had an otterbox when I had my iPhone - not bad at all.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finally got a download of the Gundam 00 movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer Not yet released in the EU / USA

Original place I tried for download ( anime.thehylia.com ) kept bailing out after transferring 4GBytes (?) so I eventually put a bittorrent client on the machine and got it via that. Very nice 1080p (3.8 GBytes) copy with Japanese sound and English subtitles. Just the way I like it. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just brought John home from Hospital at long last.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :) :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's brilliant news Jo :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent news. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's excellent news jo.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Weenie, Take Care ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good news :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now you just need to make sure he doesn't escape again... ;)

Great news Jo!

---------- Post added at 13:11 ---------- Previous post was at 13:08 ----------

Good news but you only had to ask and you could have had some of mine... ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Home from a long day in Brighton: Meetings with some Germans and UK chaps on ongoing project(s). Hard work but productive.

The OH has got some food ready too. It's from a batch from the freezer that I made a while ago but the thought counts. Means I can unwind with a bevvy.
:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The fresh snow looks really beautiful when I'm looking out my living room window.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Still no snow here but I suspect it's coming soon.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Quite heavy here dilli, just staying in today and only doing necessary journeys ie picking the wee one up from school.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Lovely sun and blue sky here. Laura on Good Morning Britain says that everyone looking forward to snow. I'm like er no not everybody wants snow. Why is it when snow is forecast people start either moaning about things grinding to a halt or turn childish and plan on making snowmen and all that rubbish?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Gorgeous crisp morning here - blue sky speckled with a few fluffy white clouds. Perfect. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Same here on the south coast. Breezy though. Better than yesterday when it was so dark and wet first thing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its very snowy on those Dartmoor hills l can see from my window.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No Snow lying in Glasgow but the outskirts of the city has some snow, East Coast of Scotland had it bad

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No snow here, and unlikely to get any.

Surrounding areas could be under 1 mile of snow and not a drop here :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great!

My happy thought, the Governor of Connecticut's just followed me on Twitter!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hi Cobby. You do seem to attract a better class of groupie over there. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My old car a Daewoo Lanos SX1.6 (100,746 miles) has just passed its twelfth MOT, all I can say is that she has been more faithful, reliable than the first wife.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm happy - Zoombini is coming back to Virgin Media.

Its going to be £20 cheaper than Sky and for a lot faster internet.

The kids are happy too :)

Whether we remain happy is to be seen yet.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Welcome back bud, long time no see :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I got an even more stern telling off about being too thin at the hospital again yesterday.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Maybe this losing weight thing is going my way..I can fit into my swimsuit despite it being two sizes smaller than I am. I may enjoy my holiday to Madeira after all.


Whether anyone else will enjoy the view is another matter but that's not something I'm going to care about.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The things some people will do to get a vote :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to be in the house today as it's freezing outside.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Likewise. The OH has to go out to work so he's complaining especially as we've had a dusting of snow and it's very cold.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes l popped my head out a hour ago and quickly shut the door as even down here its pretty cold.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

....and my boiler is still broken so it's a blanket day for me. Luckily the missus is at work so she'll keep warm until later tonight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's not good dilli, hope the boiler gets fixed soon.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not the weather for that dilli. Hope you're on the priority list to get it fixed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Get yourself a couple of cheap oil or fan heaters, worked well for me for the 2 weeks my boiler was broken, not sure how much it'll affect the elecy bill though!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I got a little fan heater thing in here now but it's just too expensive to run for very long.

---------- Post added at 10:40 ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 ----------

I am and they've ordered the part so it should be a couple of days. I'm more worried about Natalie to be honest she feels the cold much more than I do as she comes from much warmer parts. It's just irritating.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thought you might be interested in this thread as I know you have IT teaching experience :-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you get your boiler fixed soon, We went East Kilbride shopping as my husband, Joe was short of books, He likes Waterstones and the vouchers he gets for Christmas last him till about October, He just loves reading.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's what I miss (reading) listening to a book is just not the same. I hope he got some good ones :tu: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have just picked my new kitchen it's going to be high gloss and cream in colour with cherry block work surface. I can't wait :hyper:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sounds pretty nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks dilli, I like it whereas hubby likes the black high gloss but I think you need a big kitchen to get away with that one needless to say we have not got a big kitchen so the design is breakfast bar which now means we will be able to have 7 people eating at once in the kitchen 4 at the table and 3 at the breakfast bar which will be good for stuff like Christmas, birthdays etc.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Very nice indeed Weenie.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Black gloss would be a magnet for smears, fingerprints etc. Think your choice is far better. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He Got one of Linwood Barclay. No Safe House and one of Peter James, and a few others, He also like Robert Goddard Books. ;) Dill,



Your Kitchen will be lovely Weenie

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well the washing machine has been mended this morning as he has put in a new module to replace the old one.:)

Nice one, thought I hadn't seen you about in a while to :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So the good news is I finally found out why I've been getting worse and worse pain all week.

Unfortunately I found out by having a mild heart attack late last night. Still, could be worse...... I guess. Still in hospital now.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ok it could be worse - it could also be a lot better!! I don't know how you manage to keep your spirits up, dilli - just make sure you do what the hospital tells you & lets hope they can sort this out.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wow. Hope you get better soon dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l am sorry to hear about your mild heart attack Dilli and l just wish that a lovely chap like you could be free of all the health problems and pain you seem to suffer on a regular basis.
