Cuddling my pets
My pets in general
Fresh flowers in the house
Clean, crisp, high thread count bedding
Pottering in my house

Also: my grown up children meeting up or coming over for a meal and a chat.
My idiot dog leaning against me and gazing adoringly into my face whilst blowing fishy Bonio-scented breath up my nose
Finishing edits and my editor saying 'right, that's done!'
Getting up on a day off knowing I've cleaned the house and I can just sit around in it
Clean bedding and pjs on shaved legs
Having something to look forward to

Warm wind on my face. An empty house with a good book or magazine. When I come home from work instead of using my key I ring the bell so that I can hear my DS's footsteps racing across the floor above to come greet me. He is 9, so I know he won't come running to me forever. I treasure it.

So many things!
Cosy evenings in with my DH and children
A great piece of cake and coffee after a hard bike ride
A mad, sweaty martial arts session then home for wine and food with DH and he listens patiently while I tell him all about my kick ass moves
A hot bath
A day with nothing to do but read a great book and drink tea
A cuddle with the cat
My kids making me proud with their little achievements
A night out in a new outfit from the fab charity shop near me
Laughs with friends
Making love
