I've just received my brown garden rubbish bin from the council. I can't wait to get in the garden but also when did I turn into someone who gets excited to have a new bin it used to be clothes and nights out .Am I now officially a old codger😁

When my fortnightly veg box gets delivered!

When I come downstairs in the morning, my miniature poodle is so pleased to see me she whirls around and around in circles. It’s highly amusing.

I took the day off work and spent the whole day doing the gardening and when I say "whole" I mean not once interrupted by rain, hail, wind or cold. It was officially for me at least the first day of Spring. And on my day off!

Rose pruning, done. Greenhouse jobs, done. Grass cutting, done. seeds now germinating, finally yay. The list goes on. And 2 more dry days forecast this weekend.

It's free, but it's priceless 🤗

And it's all my own garden, not like that dreadful Barbara Grin

Really elaborate porridge for breakfast.

I throw everything in there.

Cacao, peanut butter, flaxseed, vanilla protein; or chia seeds, goji berries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, crushed almonds.

Changed the bed today. Dried the bedding on the line. Bliss.

When my dc visit and I get all the gossip, I just love hanging out with them.

Watching a series that actually had a good ending.

My dog when he is happy to see me. He's been really Ill and so an excited tail wag is one the best things to me.

Coffee in bed in the morning in a quiet peaceful house has to be right up there though.

Yesterday I saw the first newly arrived swallows.

It made me smile and think 'Thank Christ for that!'

Sgtmajormummy · 13/04/2024 06:45

My tiny Spode cream jug. About 8cm tall.
I got out the second best (!) teaset yesterday and made a thing of it for a visitor.

Nice looking numbers. Like when the time is 22:22 (bonus if it's 22 seconds as well!)

In work yesterday I raised an invoice and our system numbered it 128888. Made a crappy day a little better. A colleague got 128821 last week and didn't even blink. Total madness.

My online shopping came to £77.77 I was delighted!

DungareesAndTrombones · 13/04/2024 09:48

My house when it is clean and I can sit down with a book. Also having a nice smelling wax melt really does make my day.

Tigertigertigertiger · 13/04/2024 10:10

I've ordered a pink hair claw and am excited about its arrival

I have a plum tree in my garden. He usually produces hardly any plums, last year we got 2. I don't hold it against him, they were nice and we're all just doing our best. I noticed today that there are hundreds growing this year. I don't know what's happened but I'm so proud.

SamBeckett · 16/05/2024 12:40

@AhBiscuits , I hope the birds don't steal them all.
Are you going to make jam and chutney?

Explainitlikeimfive · 16/05/2024 15:56

Amazing biscuits!

I sort of know the joy because we have a proper garden this year so have been out every evening with the kids checking on the progress of the daffs, spring flowers, hedging and trees we planted. It's silly but I feel a sense of accomplishment that I put these in the ground and they grew.

What is stealing my heart though is the rabbits that come in and run around the garden.

Whatsyourstory · 16/05/2024 16:00

My heated bedsheets, absolute bliss in cold evenings!

I love when you're really hungry then eat a hot meal and afterwards your stomach feels so warm and full.

ABirdsEyeView · 16/05/2024 17:45

My new cordless vacuum cleaner arrived today - have been forced to use the bastard Henry for 2 weeks since the last one broke - I'm ridiculously pleased to see it!

stayathomer · 16/05/2024 17:53

When the bin is collected and I’m emptying the last of the recycling in!

switching off the extractor fan signalling dinner is done (I hate cooking!!)

empty washing basket

Writing with a pink pen!!

Bra off, pjs on!!

sitting down to dogs behaving (very) badly on tv with a cup of tea!

I love the summer! I love line drying and often sit and watch it! I too love a fresh bed! I always sleep so much better.

Oooh the tip! It always reminds me of my DF and it feels so good to get rid of stuff. I also love a skip!

New pens and notebooks! I don't use them much any more but I do love a new pen and notebook.

I love quiet evenings, my kind of dinner and the TV for a couple of hours on my own.

MotherOfCatBoy · 16/05/2024 18:03

Coffee in the garden in morning sunshine; or tea in bed when it’s raining; with a book and cats.
When my DS gets home from school - he’s 17, I won’t have that for much longer.
Checking the growth of four saplings I’m growing in pots that will eventually be big mature trees that will outlive me.
Running.
Freshly line dried sheets, like everyone else!
