to start a 'Reasons to Be Cheerful' thread?

[MrsBertMacklin]

Because they disappear in Chat...

I've spent the day re-doing my finances in readiness for 1st April and have realised that next month's credit card instalments will be the final ones needed to clear the debt that I've spent almost three years paying down. I've typed up letters closing my accounts in readiness, can't wait to be debt free.

Also cheerful because it's been a lazy weekend in a good way, i.e. not mindlessly binging Netflix, but catching up on reading, paperwork, getting stuff done.

Congratulations catvsworld!

A lovely long weekend with DD, a surprise new book in the post from an old friend, a kitchen that feels vast after DD and I did a joint de-clutter of her toys and the toy cooker etc got exiled to the garage

Kid free til Wednesday, only me, DH, 2 dogs and 2 cats. And thanks to a recent lumbar puncture in relatively pain free!

Have got an interview for dream job stating June this year. No guarantee I'll get it, but is in uni town and would pay enough for me to rent a room somewhere so wouldn't have to move back to parents after uni

Arranged a catch up with friend I've not seen in ages

[FantasticRik]

This thread has made me happy.

Also, taking the dog for a walk along the sea front today with my best friend, DH and the DCs.

So happy for you londonrach

Been to visit my brand new baby niece. Gorgeous, beautiful, chubby cheeked, all pink and fleshy and healthy.

Went to slimming world to get weighed before and I have lost 1 stone in 2 weeks. Now if I can do that every week, I should be my healthy weight in 8 weeks haha.

[Catvsworld]

We are adopting and meeting our child this week

Whoop whoop

[PresidentCJCregg]

I ran 5k which I NEVER thought I'd manage. Proud of me!

[elmersfud]

Been out walking in sunshine today. Fed the ducks. Been eating healthily today and feel very positive

[RosaRosaRose]

Londonrach So happy for you!

[Brightredpencil]

Good idea. Ok. Mine is that my 3year old tells me up to about 12 times a day that he loves me and we are best friends.

[londonrach]

Im pregnant and never thought id be! Cant tell how amazing that this!

[nocoffeenouppee]

Despite a sore throat and general Lurgy I made it to yoga today . Doesn't sound much but I have a toddler and a 9 week old baby and until 3 weeks ago hadn't done any exercise for about a year. I suppose what I'm really thankful for then is a supportive husband who makes it possible. And just to undo any goodness I'm also thankful for my Lindt bunny

[ghostyslovesheep]

2 weeks off work

red wine

Bodies on DVD

Kids not back till tomorrow (which is also a bit :( but yay for tomorrow)

[RosaRosaRose]

Raspberry Yes I did. Once I was safe, I posted a thank-you. Reading Mumsnet, in secret, was one of the things that helped me escape. So many reasons to be happy. Not having family in this country I found so much help and support was available once I had the courage to ask. It's there for all the women like me.

[Birdsgottafly]

My energy levels are on the up, I've got post viral CF and it's now at a level were I can cook again.

I'm washing my hair tomorrow and going to my DDs and seeing my toddler GD, which a couple of weeks ago wasn't do-able.

[RaspberryOverload]

RosaRosaRose Did you post your experience on MN? I'm sure I remember this and have wondered since if you were getting on okay. Sounds like it's good for you, now

I mus admit I read the title and immediately thought of the Ian Dury song Reasons to be cheerful part 3

[RosaRosaRose]

I got two Easter eggs. Yo!

[MrsSippy]

me and DH are both off this week - and the kids are both at work

I found that they sell Aperol in Asda and it was on spesh at £13

I had chocolate given to me yesterday

I'm also very happy for OP and Rosa - the girls done good

Can I just add Squeeeeeeeee! Happy to be alive when I prayed to die so many times.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

The clicks have changed and it's still light, woop de woop!

I've got two weeks off work and can lie in in the morning.

[Nectarines]

My two year old has been making me laugh all day!

There's prosecco in my fridge.

[acasualobserver]

The days when I ain't spotty.

[justmyview]

Reasons to be cheerful = good health, happy marriage and family, financially solvent (not super wealthy, but reasonably secure). Very appreciative of all of these & never take them for granted x

Well done to OP and to RosaRosaRose
