What boring thing are you excited about?

Went to lidl today and they've got 30% off fruit! Got some mangos and plums to add to the pineapple and satsumas I already had - on a health kick and trying to ditch the sweets - so far it's been 4 days

Also, got a new spiraliser from pro cook - so easy to use and I've been making 'spaghetti' bolognese with spiralised courgettes - delish

These two boring things have made my week so exciting 😭😭😭

@LoudPlumDog Sorry for your loss 💐

Haircut tomorrow. I havent had one since the end of October. House selling/buying/packing have taken up most of my weekends so im well overdue and feeling very much not myself in the hair dept.

Merluzzo · 28/02/2025 13:54

I’m going to do a Footner this afternoon. That excites me.

Struggling this week from my daughter passing 3 months ago, but today was excited to go to bed with an online jigsaw to do, an audiobook to listen to, clean sheets and puppies in their beds beside me. It’s the small things getting me through…

Oh I'm so sorry Flowers

TokyoSushi · 28/02/2025 13:55

My dream yoga mat is out for delivery, I'm mega excited!

Skade · 28/02/2025 13:58

I’m going to ‘big B&M’ (I think it’s the biggest in the country 😄) this afternoon for a cleaning product spree!

YetAnotherNewUserMoniker · 28/02/2025 14:00

@LoudPlumDog I am so very sorry. Flowers

Like a PP, I am very excited about bin day. Our blue recycling bin didn't get collected two weeks ago and it's completely full so there's recycling everywhere as I can't fit anything else in.

When I get home, I am looking forward to wheeling my empty bin to the back door and clearing the huge mass of stuff into it. Instant tidying!!

Miaowzabella · 28/02/2025 14:01

I'm far more excited than I should be about the prospect of taking stuff to the tip at the weekend. I always come away feeling purified and optimistic.

Hotafternoon · 28/02/2025 14:03

Being able to put a wash load outside and the sun was actually shining. I think it might even dry properly too.

I'm never usually excited about laundry 😆

HoneyHoneyBee · 28/02/2025 14:04

I’m very excited about my vegetable seeds being delivered today along with seed trays and a mini green house being delivered tomorrow 😆

underhedges · 28/02/2025 14:06

I've bought a new carpet cleaner this week. A spot one that cleans up spills, small marks, etc. I've had enormous fun finding spots around the house and banishing them with my cleaner. My litttle boy is almost as excited to help me. He loves a gadget too.

Tomatocutwithazigzagedge · 28/02/2025 14:06

I bought a big storage box to sort out and pack some things away in the cellar, and some photo frames for a cool set of postcards I bought. I'm so happy. 😂

troppibambini6 · 28/02/2025 14:10

@LoudPlumDog I'm so sorry for your loss x

I'm a bit excited (but also a bit nervous) to go and buy some new jeans. I've lost 4 stone and dropped a few dress sizes.

I'm really enjoying this thread.
I often, eventually, 'unwatch' threads, but not this one.
It's so nice to read of all the little things in daily life that make others happy, and which we feel the need to classify as 'boring'!
So often parents deny themselves some of the most basic things, in order to give a little more to their families.
All the things that shed a bit of brightness are all so unique to each of us, and it's very gratifying to know that even the smallest pleasures are acknowledged, and appreciated.
This is a 'feel good' thread, thank you @mumofoneAlonebutokay

We've had some plastering done which means my DD's room has been completely emptied, which means I can get in there with my vax and shampoo her carpets! 8 years of teenage girl funk and makeup stains and spilled drinks- they will be gone!!

Also very excited to pressure wash my slabs on Sunday/monday

I've just signed up for a garden bin collection so my new brown wheelie will be delivered within 10 days, then magically I will be inspired to garden more and will have a lovely peaceful garden 🤔

thenewaveragebear1983 · 28/02/2025 14:35

@underhedges my carpet cleaner is my favourite gadget of all time. I have a vax, it's ten years old and still going strong.

ASockofFleagulls · 28/02/2025 13:40

It's a sunny day her and I've managed to get a whole line of washing out. Happy days!

This would be mine as well. Love a good drying day.

MyBoysHaveDogsNames · 28/02/2025 13:24

I've bought a handheld mini vacuum for the stairs!

Ooh what have you got?

Justonemorecoffeeplease · 28/02/2025 15:09

@xYerDaSellsAvon I need to know more about label makers. I haven't got one and I've been thinking about it. Also love a new tea towel - I like to get ones from places I've been to. There's an artist called 'Nice things by Helena' who has lovely picture ones. Particularly good are her Christmas ones.

As for the simple thing that makes me happy - a pattern on top of my coffee in a lovely mug and the time to drink it in peace!

I just put a new Febreeze small space air freshener thingy in the bathroom and my whole house smells amazing. I'm way more excited about that than I ought to be.

Oh i love those they're amazing- which scent?

I've got the 3volution plug ins, vanilla for upstairs and tropical for downstairs, lush 🥰🤭

You've just reminded me to tax my eyebrows actually 😄
