Following on from another thread where the poster had her ears unblocked and it felt amazing (I agree!!) what other small things really satisfy you and make you 😁

I love it when it’s hot and you can get your laundry dried in a couple of hours on the line.

I love it when I’ve finished cleaning the house and I can sit back and have a cuppa.

Waking my DC up on a morning and kissing their lovely cosy heads.

Having a hot bath on a cold winters day and topping up the hot water until I can barely stand the heat.

Sitting all cosy and warm when it’s raining outside and listening to the rain on the window.

Clean sheets.
Removing the lint fluff from tumble dryer trap segment thingies in 4 perfect pieces (yes I try to line dry but live in an area that's often damp outside).

Being brought a cup of tea in bed.
DH has just brought me one, before he drives an hour to work, bless him!

New bedsheets. I always feel like a Princess. When I was a child (1960s/70s) in a family of 6 Mum coped with the washing by having us move our top sheets to the bottom of the bed and only washing the bottom sheet. So I never had a completely fresh bed. Such a luxury!

Also, all of our sheets were old and turned ‘side to middle’ so there was an uncomfortable seam down the centre of each.

Mum did a grand job of keeping the household going but looking back from my totally clean, smooth bed I can see how she struggled.
