Reasons to be cheerful

Hi all,

Thought I would start a cheerful chat amidst all of the doom and gloom at the moment - why are you feeling happy today (if you are!) I'll start:-

I had a good night's sleep last night without the help of drugs for the first time in months
The sun is shining
I'm working from home
I bought beautiful flowers at lunchtime
M&S are selling salted caramel hot cross buns (and I may have bought some at lunchtime....)

Feeling unusually cheery for a Wednesday so I thought I would spread the love Smile

I’ve got a day off and I’ve just had a haircut I’m really pleased with.
Washing is out on the line actually drying.

yay love a washing on the line day! Almost wish I had some to do!

My nearly 3 year old. He has gone from being a right little handful to the most hilariously funny and caring little boy.

@windyatthebeach lovely photo Smile

They do have a bed each (and a huge sofa to share) but bunking up seems to be their thing!!

I am at work but the sun outside is great!
I am getting married next weekend!
Had a good run this morning that left me feeling ready for the day!

My dogs made me smile on our lunchtime walk.

After months of dithering from our sellers we exchanged contracts last week and are moving in a couple of weeks time.

Great idea for a thread op! I'm feeling good today because:

I also slept well, got up before the kids and did yoga and have just finished a joe wicks workout. Plus the sun is shining! I do a lot of yoga and I love it but I always forget how good a cardio session makes me feel Smile

GooodMythicalMorning · 11/03/2020 14:08

I had a calm and nice morning getting the children ready for school.

bluebell94 · 11/03/2020 14:40

I slept well
I don't actually mind my job and am having a good day
I remembered to put my tea in the slow cooker this morning so no real cooking for me tonight
I'm going for a nice dog walk when I get home
I'm newly pregnant with our first babySmile

It's DD's birthday today. We've talked about nothing else for weeks, and I'm excited for her. Off to pick her up from school soon!

And DS looks adorable in his shirt. He's very much a t-shirt and jumper sort of toddler, but he had to have a nice shirt for his sister's birthday.

listsandbudgets · 11/03/2020 17:09

I found £10 in the pocket of a coat I've not worn for ages.
I've managed to get all the beds changed this week.
MY LAUNDRY BASKET IT EMPTY
Our new neighbour has just dropped a huge plate of chicken byriani round so I don't need to cook dinner
DD is happy at the moment.
DS is happy at the moment.
DP is happy at the moment
and we are all healthy

LuvMyBoyz · 11/03/2020 17:25

I’m retired! After two and a half years I still can’t quite believe I don’t go to work!

WingBingo · 11/03/2020 17:33

I got a promotion today, a big one.

I worked so hard for it too. I beat 5 male executives/senior managers to it too.

This will make a massive difference to my family, I’m so happy.

Dowser · 11/03/2020 17:33

I’m in Tenerife 😁

Dowser · 11/03/2020 17:34

For two more weeks 😁😁😁

Dowser · 11/03/2020 17:35

Congrats to everyone getting married, having babies, new jobs and generall good fortune

BobbinThreadbare123 · 11/03/2020 17:41

I've had a shocking day at work and it is absolutely pouring down here, but:
My lunch was delicious
My tea will be delicious when I've cooked it
My drive to work this morning was dry and it's now light as well - I look at Cumbrian fells so it's pretty too

Thecurtainsofdestiny · 11/03/2020 17:43

Daffodils beginning to open in my garden made me smile todaySmile
