What has made you happy this weekend?

[CoperCabana]

Mine are:

Bought Amber glass bottles for hand wash and a massive bottle of refill. Trying to be eco friendly. They make me happy every time I use them.

Weeded my front garden and pavement, picked up all the litter, cut back the lavender and ornamental grass. Makes me happy every time I look at my lovely best front garden.

Sample hair product my hairdresser gave me. Used this morning and smells lush.

Conkers. Just because.

Did this week’s meal plan with the DC and everybody was happy so hopefully no moaning in the week. Had sensible conversation about balanced diets, etc, in the morning after breakfast and not at dinner time when everyone’s tired and hungry.

Both DC did all their weekend jobs without us asking them (eg homework, pack school bag, music practice) so took them out for a treat this afternoon as we’d all done our chores.

Actually feeling like I might be doing alright as a parent today, and maybe last weekend’s pain of trying to teach them to be more independent actually worked.

Flying a kite on the beach with the babies and husband

Tomboytown glad you turned it around!

StylishMummy Kite flying just makes you so happy and exhilarated doesn’t it?

A friends baby arrived all healthy and baby and mummy is well, not close friends but always so nice to see.
Currently snuggling upto my dog doing holiday research with some beautiful candles lit :-)
Husband is away for a few days so think im going to do some internet Christmas shopping

These little beauties

Had a massive toy sort out and assembled new toy storage from IKEA. Now feels like they actually have things they can enjoy playing with as we know where it is rather than multiple toy boxes with mess.
Watching the end of Ozark series 2 with DH and an Indian takeaway.

Bought some more shoe storage to sort out shoe soup situation.

Bought a second hand chest of drawers to replace the rattan fronted one that Spongecat has shredded.

Went through the self service till at Poundland, where Elvis has taken up residence. Aahaaa . @CoperCabana intrigued about your amber bottles. Where can such wondrous things be bought?

Amazon!

Amazon has made me happy too. Ordered yesterday with free delivery, and it arrived this afternoon. Incredible service.

These babies!

Drinking fizz and gossiping with my friend
Watching DS play with his friends
Having a very tidy house (spent all morning tidying!)
Starting to plan Christmas [santa]

Just back from the park. DD1 has Downs and finds some play equipment hard but today she managed a little bit of the spider net climbing frame-first time she’s got off the ground!

A really yummy roast dinner.

Hopefully, Bodyguard later will make me happy too

Laying next to DP all afternoon with nothing to do, his watching crap on tv, im Mumnetting!
His going to nap soon, so i will catch up on watching my stuff :)

Yesterday - watching Liverpool beat Tottenham and today having a drive with DH around an area we might consider moving to when we downsize.

Thanks @copercabana

I found out I was pregnant on Friday and confirmed it again with another FRER and a CB digital. Absolutely thrilled (second month TTC our second baby).

I'm stranded after an injury and my dh has gone away (very reluctantly) for work. THREE of the new friends I've made recently (in this new town we've come to for work) have come round to see me and help me adjust. I'm miserable about the injury but humbled and cheered by the kindness I'm being shown.

I realised that all my studying for my karate 2nd Dan black belt written test is paying off and I was able to name certain moves in Japanese that I never believed I would be able to especially when someone asked me the name of a not often used move and I was able to tell them without having to think. Might sound silly but it's cheered me up as I was so worried about managing to learn it all. Japanese is not an easy language, and tbf I struggle with English a lot and I'm English

Knowing that, 3 months after securing a new job, I FINALLY get leave my current job and start the new one in a week. The weight has finally been lifted off my shoulders

Congratulations chocolate!! That's lovely news!!

Swimming in the sea yesterday and today.

Massive clear out of my wardrobes and linen cupboard, it all looks so tidy now and I’ve got a boot full of bags to take to my friends mum for her charity sale. It’s very therapeutic.

Just eaten a lovely roast chicken dinner which I cooked and husband has cleared away.

Knowing it’s not an ordinary Sunday night - I’m still on holiday for a week so no alarm clock tomorrow.

Yesterday I drove from Twickenham to Walsall (2.5 hours each way) to take DD’s to karate squad training. It was worth it as DD1 (11) has been selected to go to the European Championships in Malta next month.

Today we went out for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary this week.

I'm disabled and have real problems using my hands, bending, walking etc. I rely on my dh a lot.

Yesterday I got up first and cleaned the kitchen! On my own! I was on such a roll I then cleaned out the fridge! Later dd1 (who is 18) and I went shopping to Tesco and did the whole weeks worth of grocery shopping, which I was able to arrange in my lovely clean fridge. We also went for coffee and had a lovely chat, about the boyfriend and starting uni (tomorrow!!).

Dh does so much to keep the house/family running as well as working long hours and it was lovely to give him a bit of a break. Just shows what I can do when I really push myself. Knackered now though!

Went camping with some friends... sat in a field with a fire pit and wine, and a couple of my adult kids joined us.
At 50 and not being very socially able I never thought I'd have new friends in our life... it was great (but a bit chilly!)

I played in a touch rugby tournament and my DS said I was really good ( usually my DC bully me relentlessly especially about playing sports). This was high praise indeed
