Mine include:


  • The feeling of drinking a glass of water when you're super thirsty

  • The feeling of cleaning your ears

  • The feeling of scratching an itch (especially a mozzie bite)


What's yours?

The feeling of having people around you who you love and who love you. Money can’t buy that.

Mabelface · 11/08/2022 14:28

Knowing that you've completed your to do list and can just chill with nothing hanging over you.

JanisMoplin · 11/08/2022 14:29

Losing both parents long before their time and a sibling, (aged 19) I'd give anything to have them back healthy. Money can't buy that.

A beautiful view
A gorgeous, sunny day
Paddling in the sea
Love
Friendship
The joy you feel in having a healthy body
Running, walking, swimming
Feeling the wind in your hair, the sun on your skin
Being out in nature

A lovely view
Watching birds coming to a feeder
Walking by a river

Bringon2023 · 11/08/2022 14:34

An orgasm! 😂

The beach
An amazing view
A nap
My dog acting like a loon
Reading a good book

sneezing
going to the toilet when you have been holding it.

I don't really agree with this. Only if you have a safe home, food and clothes etc to begin with. I love being out in nature and that's free. But I wouldn't love it if I had to live there... IMO the best things in life are only free if you are privileged. God I sound like a miserable cow!!

Yes to this!

Waking up around 5am when only the birds are up and sitting in the garden before the rest of the world wakes. Bliss

No you are right. The assumption is that everyone has enough to eat and a roof over their heads.

That's a very interesting perspective

Still loving this list so far though!

Can't argue with the orgasm one @Bringon2023

Am so single have forgotten all about that one 😅

Favourite free things -
Sitting in the garden listening to birdsong
Re-reading my favourite books
Ticking something off a list
Listening to Cabin Pressure with the family for the nth time and everyone still laughing
Hearing the kids talking about interests they share that make no sense to me.

JaneJeffer · 11/08/2022 14:59

Library books

warofthemonstertrucks · 11/08/2022 15:00

A lovely morning bunk up with DP!

NeedAHoliday2021 · 11/08/2022 15:01

This view last night when I went for a walk.
People who love you.

I love sitting in my garden but that’s not free - cost quite a bit to purchase my home.

A cold glass of water in the sun reading a library book!

A beautiful view
A sunny day
A relaxing walk by the river

When you've been stuck in traffic for ages and then it starts moving again 🙃

Sorry to hear all of that.

Water isn't free albeit very enjoyable and necessary. Water rates needs to be paid and the money found.

Not everybody feels loved up either. Right now I certainly don't.
