My DH and 3 DCs, all healthy and happy.

My day to day life..I work 2 hours a day from home in the early evening so have the weekdays to myself.

My health..I have a very close friend with terminal cancer so I don't take this for granted.

My dog. My first dog. Chocolate Lab. Heaven.

I love Autumn, the dark nights, cosying up indoors, crispness in the air. The promise of Christmas.
It's my favourite season.

My friends...old and new.

After cripplingly low self esteem in my teens and 20s, I am now the most confident, calm and content I have ever been. I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin. It's like my whole life has been leading up to feeling like this and it's WONDERFUL.

This is a nice thread

my husband

My bean to cup machine - as a renter it's the closest thing I'm allowed to a pet

Health and the ability to put one foot in front of the other - these days I look like a burst pie but most of me still works and when I get the chance I can still walk/run for miles

Ah what a lovely thread

BigDahliaFan · 23/09/2024 07:37

My dog. She's lying asleep as a furry snoring little blob on the end of the bed. She's adorable, funny, and loves me.

A huge pile of gold in my cellar. Bars, coins, all sorts of treasure. Gold, rubies and diamonds. Goblets from the East Indies bejewelled with sapphires and emeralds. Twists of silver and pearls aplenty. On wet weekends I light some candles down there and get it all out and count it again.

Lentilweaver · 23/09/2024 07:27

I am in my 50s and in reasonably good health. I work at it but ofc no guarantee of good health even if you work at it. Most of my friends the same age aren't.

My mum really loves me and always has. Even if we argue.

yes to a comfy great set of sheets.

Pp can you recommend any undies? I have a hard time finding quality underwear.

Show quote history

My favourite at the moment are from Amazon, they're called "Wirarpa"
I like the boy shorts best but I have some of the longer cycling shorts too for walking. They seem well made for the price and they've been through the wash loads and seem like new still.

Getting into my freshly made bed, with freshly shaved legs and comfortable but nice feeling underwear.

Being single.

Knowing my kid is safe, fed and warm.

Not necessarily in that order..

My LO whenever she runs. She’s just such joy. Her giggles, the way her perfect little body wobbles… melts my ♥️

my DH. He’s pragmatic, kind, and funny. I’m grateful for his work ethic and his ability to just make stuff happen.

my good health.

My fiance, he is my partner in crime, my best friend, the love of my life and I am blessed to have him.
Our lovely little dog, he’s a rescue and entering his senior years but he has brought me so much joy and love and I am honoured to have him.

Mortgage free and so grateful

most of all, that my mums cancer was removed fully with surgery and she required no further treatment.

Icanthinkformyselfthanks · 22/09/2024 23:57

My husband, my sons, my beautiful daughters in law and my wonderful grandchildren. I am absolutely blessed. 😊

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 22/09/2024 23:54

Definitely my son. I dreamed of being a mum my whole life. He's 15 months old now and I still can't believe I actually have him.

Whichoneisthebest · 22/09/2024 23:51

My dog. God I love that creature more than life itself

Botheredmum · 22/09/2024 23:47

My little boy.
As someone who was on the fence my whole life about having kids, I’m lucky I came down on this side because he’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

SophiaSW1 · 22/09/2024 23:42

My children

jessane · 22/09/2024 23:30

My husband. Cheesy as it is he's my very best friend and I'm very fortunate to have him in my life. He brings out the very best in me and always has.

My daughter. She's a delight, hilarious, clever, beautiful, tough, everything I dreamed she would or could be and I'm so proud of her. If she wasn't sixteen and in her "bruh" phase I'd squeeze her until her heed popped off.

My pals. They're my other family and they're the best of people, I'm very lucky to have a group of such wonderful maniacs in my life that can make me pee myself laughing effortlessly or be there hold my hand through the very worst of times.

Honourable mention to my dogs and cats, the big furry idiots.
