What's made you do a Snoopy happy dance today?

I'm on leave today and tomorrow (and tomorrow is pay day) - yay.

The sun is shining - yay.

I've just gone in to update my Ocado order for tomorrow and have managed to snag doughnut peaches and burrata for half price so I'll be having those with balsamic glaze and pine nuts tomorrow... nom, nom, nom. And YAY!

Come and have a little happy dance...

We have to finish our Ocado order too and you have inspired me to add peaches and burrata to the order. It sounds yummy.

I went for a lovely long walk around the fields this morning in the sunshine and it was really lovely. And I’ve just spent over two hours painting our new garden room with DH. My arm is aching but we got lots done. And it was sunny.

Have it with balsamic glaze, pine nuts and maybe a bit of mint - you won't regret it, I promise!

I'm just having another final look at mine as I have to finalise before 6pm and you never know what will pop up on the flash sale... I just bagged some pasta evangelist fresh stuff for over half off - lucky!

Your day sounds wonderful, when I move I want a garden room - bet it looks brilliant.

I have a tattoo of snoopy doing his happy dance on my leg. It makes me endlessly happy because it signifies the happiness I felt when I left ex h for a new life.

That's amazing. I got a tattoo when I left my ex as well - it's a filigree key (think Secret Garden style) with a dragon curled up in the detail, because when I left him I found my own place and it was very symbolic for me too - my own key!

I went out for a warm sunny afternoon walk in the sunshine (London) and enjoyed seeing the beautiful leaves in the park

I talked myself down when DP was getting on my nerves earlier and managed not to bite his head off

I love this time of year and part of that is the leaves changing and being crunchy on the ground. Definitely hold on to the memory of your work when people annoy you!

DD1 is wfh today and booked the dog field for her lunch hour.
It was sunny, DDog was so happy to have her toys in the big field. In between playing with dog daughter and I had had a nice catch up chat.

Aww that sounds lovely. And thank you for resurrecting my dead thread! I've also decided that as I have nothing in the fridge and it's the day before pay day I am going to take advantage of the Ask Italian £5 pizza deal - so will have dinner out, which is fairly nice. I can almost imagine your field, sounds so gorgeous!
