Happiness is...

[Bluewavescrashing]

Lying in bed under a heated throw, with a cup of tea, watching the rain run down the windows.

DCs have been fed and exercised extensively at the park. They are off school on inset today. They are now watching a film and I'm luxuriating in the warmth 😊

Finding a bag of maltesers in mydraw at work and demolishing them with my afternoon cup of yorkshire tea :D

Ooh I love maltesers!

My cat has just jumped on my lap and is ecstatically happy that it is heated the purrs are deafening!

I love your happiness too Op. Nothing better than everyone being cosy at home after having been out.

Mine is also browsing book shops and libraries and finding something good to read.

Having a tidy house (work in progress here...)

Cleaning at one of my jobs and finding the digestives are chocolate ones!!.
Easy pleased me!!

Changed handbags today and found £20 inside the zipped compartment.

Being a mum. Twice!
Having enough with enough leftover to share.
Preparing food and cooking with good music and nice lighting.
Sitting around the table with good company, eating a good meal and chatting.
When I get indoors and our cats all run to the front door to greet me with purrs and ankle rubs.
Seeing plants you’ve planted grow.
A hot shower and clean sheets.
Getting lost in a good book.
Laughing with people you love.
The feeling of happiness after a while of feeling low.
Rain on a window when you’re cosy and warm indoors.
When the sun starts coming back out again and it’s warm enough to go out without a coat on.
Exploring new places and being outdoors.
Deleting my Facebook account!

I could go on.... will be looking back to this thread. It’s lovely ☺️

@ParkheadParadise I love it when that happens!

I am excited to get my travel handbag out of the box in the back room tonight and see if I have any euros in there for my holiday next week... cross your fingers for me! :)

Sitting outside a bar looking over the sea with a pint of beer! Oh and the sun needs to be shining! Managed it last week in Spain 🙂

Being nice and warm indoors with the wood burner on, while the wind and rain are lashing outside.

Being in the middle of a really good book, with a cuppa and a clean house - kids at school and no interruptions for hours. A bar of chocolate thrown in is also good.

Clean sheets and everyone safely at home with lots of time off to look forward to.

Getting home from work when the cleaner's been

Saint Agur on spelt crackers

Sitting in my tidy new house, favourite candle burning, dog beside me. Dh and dc's should really feature but the house is not tidy when they're in 😂

Kids fed bathed and in their jarmies watching a film, the house spotless and clean candles lit, and the thought of a nice bubble bath in about an hour 😴😴 I love being all cosy especially when it's raining

Sleeping 7-8 hours a night..waking up without aches and pains and feeling a,axing

Deffo not me today then.

Clean bedding
Clean PJs
Clean me
Good book
Good music
Maybe a glass of wine
Both cats on me purring & cuddling
Rain & windy outside

Sharing a meal with friends :)

Solitude

I agree with lots of these!

I'm adding to mine - having a really good conversation with DH over a nice drink, that isn't about house/kids/work stress.

Getting diy done that we've been putting off for ages. I love that feeling of satisfaction.

Also the alarm going off and then realising that I don't have to get up and can go back to sleep.

A long run. Followed by pizza.

The wood burner is on, the dogs are lying in front of the fire, I've just had a beef dinner and I'm stuffed. Sat down now with a cuppa and MN
