.....you get genuinely excited by the arrival of a part for your vacuum cleaner Confused

Not even a new vacuum cleaner, but a part for the old one Blush

Honestly, the post man came to the door and I actually said out loud "oooo, it's here!" and was even slightly nervous just in case it wasn't the little bit of plastic I'd been waiting for! The disappointment would have been all consuming! Grin

Oh dear. Over to you......

Grin I get it completely. Also got excited about my new tray that arrived today. It has a cat on it and says 'cat'. I am tragic.

I bought a teabag tidy while I was on holiday and I love it.

You text your teenage son asking if he will home for tea so you know how many dumplings to make...

I was ridiculously excited on Tuesday when my personalised house name stickers arrived for the dustbins at my new house (£3 eBay) Grin

I was excited when I took DS (2) to a new park today. It had a pirate ship and everything!

Needless to say DS spent 10 minutes poking a stick into a litter bin and then it started raining so we retreated to Costa.

I was 30 last week and my mum is taking me to buy me a new vacuum cleaner for my birthday tomorrow. Never been so excited!

I got very excited today when my carpet underlay delivery arrived 🤪

My DD told me there was a pen loose in the lining of her school blazer .......before it went in my new washing machine.

Boyskeepswinging · 14/09/2018 17:05

Weather forecast is dry for tomorrow morning so planning on putting out a load first thing. Can't wait Grin

I get my illicit thrills these days shoplifting single garlic bulbs from the supermarket.

NewDirectionNeeded · 14/09/2018 17:37

Ah, these are making me feel slightly better. Especially the bin stickers Grin

I'm anxiously awaiting a new drive belt for my belt sander.

I'm not a sad boring old fart - really I'm not.

I NEED a working belt sander in my life.

Really I do.

One never knows when life and limb could be at risk without my belt sander - or any of my tools.

All my toys tools must work all the time, else I get anxious because of this risk.

MagicKeysToAsda · 14/09/2018 18:13

I ordered a new cutlery drawer insert today and it should arrive tomorrow. I am pleased through and through.

PineapplePen07 · 14/09/2018 18:15

I was extremely excited to get my magnetic phone holder for the car today- I only just realised there is an alternative to balancing it in precarious positions trying to read the directions on maps- and it was so easy to attach! Literally 20 seconds and my life is so much easier 😂

MollysMummy2010 · 14/09/2018 18:19

A new loo seat made my week.

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 14/09/2018 18:51

A new peg bag that holds my ridiculous amount of pegs, has a drawstring close and is waterproof so I can leave it on the line. Utterly exhilarating hanging the washing out using it! Makes it so much more fun Grin

QueenofLouisiana · 14/09/2018 18:56

You realise that you’ve spent 15 hours in the last 2 weeks researching which kitchen appliance to buy. Not even a big one like a cooker or dishwasher!

AsleepAllDay · 15/09/2018 05:29

Looking forward to buying over the door coat hooks!

PhilomenaButterfly · 15/09/2018 05:33

I get excited about breakfast in the Sainsbury's café. Also about my MN product tests arriving.

PhilomenaButterfly · 15/09/2018 05:38

Actually doomclaw, we went to Croxfest last weekend and went to the pub afterwards, I was very excited about the pub's kids' play area! It was huuuuuge! There's a sign saying "Tell your Mum and Dad where you are", it's so big! It has a ship/castle.

tinytemper66 · 15/09/2018 05:39

I am getting a fibreglass cast for my broken ankle on Monday. Thinking about what colour I may be offered!

SCARYLITTLEFAIRY · 15/09/2018 06:16

I've bought myself silicone spatulas (1 big, 2 small), there not a silicone tipped spatula, it's all once peice (no gaps for food or germs). I'm very excited I've been after new ones for ages.
When will they arrive?Hmm it

You know you need more adventure in your life when...…..you take up knitting.

Magmatic80 · 15/09/2018 06:41

I really enjoy grocery shopping.

MrsExpo · 15/09/2018 08:30

I had a great day yesterday .... DH decided he didn't want to come to Saino's with me, so I got to go there all on my own ..... such a thrill!!! Grin
