Tell me something cheerful

[OrangeGinLemonFanta]

Things are really shit right now. Bad news coming left right and centre. Please share your happy things before I spiral into a dark pit of anxiety and depression (not exaggerating).

Anything cheerful, no matter how trivial, would be good :) or does nobody have anything happy to share?

I get paid in 5 days! Most if it going towards bills and stuff but I'll have some most again...YAYYY! also it's Friday and it's sunny (from what I can see in my office)! 😀🌞

Edit...I can't count! I get paid in 4 days!

My toddler has finally realised he needs to wee on the potty not the rug.

My son and DIL have put down a deposit on a new build only 7 miles away from us. For the past few years they have lived 3 hours away so it will be great to have them so close.

I got up today and found some teeny tiny courgettes had appeared on my courgette plant, they have made me very happy 😊!

Lived here 5 years and dh has at last done the decking and covered it in fake bloody grass - looks awful imo but it has coaxed a teen out of her bedroom to sunbathe on it!!

I have a squirrel who visits my garden every morning. If there’s no nuts in the bird feeder he taps at the patio door until I feed him.

I'm pregnant!!

My DD has just gone for a nap, so I'm watching friends with a hot cup of tea and some haribo! Bliss!

Amazing!

The amazon man got the giggles when he asked my DOB for an over-18 purchase.

@Pinkglittery Congratulations!

My washing is hanging out on the line... 🙂

OP
I've been for a walk with my DS to visit the moorhen babies in a pond near us. They are all cute and fuzzy and are getting brave venturing out of the nest. Aww

We have been promised some wonderful thunderstorms and rain, to break the awful intense heat and humidity, and a return to cooler, more pleasant temperatures

My 11 month old is standing unaided for the first time and is super proud of herself!

I have decided to take the afternoon off and I'm eating a Solero in the sunshine. Happy days.

1. My year 1 teacher (lovely, lovely woman) has somehow come up as a suggested friend on Facebook. In the background of her profile picture of her in her living room, there's a little wonky painted clay mug which I made for her when I was 5. I will be 42 in August and have just had a bit of a cry at that.

Lost 1.5 lbs doing hardly anything since the 12 th June, happy def, food reduction

I’ve lost 4lb in the last fortnight after plateauing for 3 months so am finally a healthy BMI. I bought some new summer clothes to celebrate!
