A well stocked fridge...

A full tank of petrol in a freshly cleaned car...

Fully stocked bathroom with toiletries, new bars of soap, plenty of loo roll, new tube of toothpaste...

A full wood store and full basket of wood by the fire...

Ugh. I love the feeling. I think I have a bit of prepper in me. I love the actual act of stocking it all up and then looking at it like a caveman who's brought home a leg of mammoth for the family.

This sounds mental but I loved the floppy boobs feeling after breastfeeding. What relief!

Yes! Waking up with full, leaking boobs then popping a hungry baby on one and a pump on the other and feeling nice and deflated afterwards Grin

I also get weirdly excited to see how much I’ve managed to pump. Love labelling my little bags for the freezer 😂 my PFB is 4 weeks old so it’s still a novelty for me! 180ml from ONE boob in 30 mins this morning!

All of my electronic devices being fully charged

Another bodily function one - when you've had painful, blocked sinuses for a few days and you have some almighty powerful sneeze that clears it. It's like the insides of a golf ball that comes out of your nose.

When my family come to visit we have a good night and all the bedrooms are taken with visitors.

@Satisfactionguaranteed @Nottodaythankyou123 I'm glad I've bought back some happy memories for you both! Although I still can't quite get over the time my mum and brother went to queue up and get one for me and jokingly told me that they'd sold out!

That pillow thing might be the life hack of the century

I flip my pillow over during the night and that's good enough for me. It's a hack I acquired during the menopause but years later I still do it 😀

Hearing all my children in the same room together, making one another laugh. I love being in the kitchen and being able to hear them amusing each other and roaring laughing. It makes pretty much every stress and worry just melt away.

They are adults now, so being together is a rarity, but as they laugh it’s like they are all back in primary school.

Fresh line-dried sheets, naturally. Better than sex.

Crossing items off the To Do List.

Picking a strawberry in the garden on a warm day and popping it straight in my mouth. It tastes of strawberries x1000.

Oh and this too! That amazing feeling when the boob starts to soften!

Lying next to my little one when she is asleep. Feeling her soft cheek next to mine and hearing her quietly snoring!

When you do an invisible poo at work and it flushes first time.

Being on the sofa watching a great film when it’s torrentially raining outside.

Being at the airport ready to fly away on holiday or, the moment of landing in a new destination.

First coffee of the day.

This one is niche but was talking to a mate about it today. If you’ve ever had engorged boobs or blocked ducts when breastfeeding, the moment when it clears. The RELIEF

A nostalgic one for me and something I was talking about the other day, nothing will ever beat queuing up for the midnight releases of the new Harry Potter books and reading them for the very first time. I wish I could go back and experience that excitement again!

Oh that’s taken me back to the Waterstones queue just before midnight. Me and my mum used to go as a little ritual.

🥲 that was a wonderful time for me too. The excitement was unreal. I'd love to bottle that feeling of reading each book for the first time.

I'll raise you getting into a freezing cold bed when you are boiling hot.

DH likes the woodburner on, my face is the colour of a tomato and I've just got into an ice cold bed on my own to sleep after a super busy work week. I'm very pleased about this!

(and spare cold pillow on the floor next to me so I can swap pillows in the night when I get too hot in bed!)

New tights / socks

Being filthy - as in muddy from being outdoors or sandy and salty from day at the beach, and getting into a warm bath to wash it all away, along with shaving legs and pits and bits. Following by drying in a warm, clean house, with a soft warm towel. And getting into brand new pjs, and brand new bed linen.

Bliss.

Even better if its torrential rain outside, you are toasty in bed with a hot choccie and a really good movie on.

HereBeWormholes · 18/01/2025 21:19

Driving home from visiting my family... all the unspoken tension and ancient feuds and sly digs fading away, shoulders relaxing... 😁

WhatMe123 · 18/01/2025 20:59

Bed linen that's dried on the washing line 👌🏻
