Now to get packed for honeymoon, get writing thank you cards and get some positive reviews up on trip advisor and other sites for the people who helped make it such a wonderful weekend.
Congratulations to you both.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I came across this quote today

“If love is blind, then maybe a blind person that loves has a greater understanding of it.”

and it left me feeling quite fluffhy.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Congratualtions to you and your partner Derek.

Actually had some good news today, I've been put into the Support Group for ESA. Kind of bittersweet in a way, but it is a huge relief.

What TV is it?

My Samsung 40" Smart TV has an app that can be downloaded and I can use the phone as a remote control for the TV, the best thing is that when you use the app to turn off the TV it closes the app

My free sample just arrived. May as well look after my manscaping. But with that and my flat cap am I skipping a generation and turning in to my grandfather?? Just need a curly pipe and say "what-o old chap" for no apparent reason.

Samsung UE40ES8000, I've got the remote app, haven't used it much, although I do love talking to my TV

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Finally got my central heating boiler replaced. Got a fairly good deal for the amount of work they needed to do as well. Unfortunately, I am not sure what the final cost will be as the engineer found that while all the visible water pipes were copper, a lot of the hidden ones were lead, so they've all had to be ripped out and replaced.

I've also gone for a combi boiler, rather than the gravity fed one I had before, so the bills should go down, and they've been able to remove both tanks in the loft, so I have a lot more space up there.

The downside is that because the engineer spent so long having to remove and replace the lead pipes, he was unable to wire up the control system, so I can't currently set any timers or the temperature. He said if we get too hot to either flick the off switch on the combi, or use the valves on the radiators.

Still, it's nice to be warm.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Sooo after one of THE most crappy days of my life I did have one moment of fun

Imagine a whole day of poking blood letting tests etc with loads of different doctors and nurses.

They all congregated with me in the treatment room - There's me up on the lift and the main foot doctor proclaims "It's time to put Mr Tarn down".....

After a couple of seconds of silence I popped out with "That's a bit harsh - I only came in with dodgy feet"

It took a couple more seconds but everyone in the room got it and cracked up

Small things - but it made my day I tell you
