Love this thread idea!

I leave a caramel syrup in work that I can add to my lattes, always makes it tastier.

Can you show me this please I use the caramel desert thing but it’s too thick then the syrup I used left a film on my latte 🥲

I’ve sowed lots of seeds in my garden today. In a few months time I’ll have lovely flowers in my garden.

@ReadyForSeason sunkissed is exactly what I need! Thank you 👍

OhBobbins · 01/04/2024 21:43

Love everyone's lists! Mine would be:

My matching kettle, microwave and toaster - they make me smile every time I'm in my kitchen and the cohesiveness makes me want to keep the kitchen clean and tidy.

Stationery - I love a nice notebook, Filofax, planner, wall calendar etc.

Crochet doilies - old fashioned but I love finding them in charity shops.

Hardback books about my hobbies and interests

Lavender pillow mist - makes me feel fancy and aids sleep.

Nail oil - as above re feeling fancy.

Dark chocolate gingers - incredible dipped in hot drinks (I buy the Lidl ones).

Kalamata olives - to feel like you're on holiday!

mrsbyers · 01/04/2024 21:45

But of a strange one but starting a new container of fairy washing up liquid (power max currently) always makes me smile - maybe I should build a rocket ship !

BBC good food magazine arriving

good butter

SanskritPixie · 01/04/2024 21:56

Drinking from pretty glasses found in charity shops.
Sitting on the doorstep drinking coffee on a sunny morning.
Reading magazines on my Libby app that I didn’t have to pay for. It means I can skip through the boring articles and adverts guilt-free.
