Yeah yeah, I know.
But every other thread is some weird troll trying to convince me their teenager is doing something obscene or someone being disingenuous about family size, meal size, parenting or pet ownership in order to start a ruck.

Anyway.....
I have a new shed and its gorgeous and I painted the inside pink and the outside sage green. I had the day off today and met a friend for coffee in our lovely park and then had another round for lunch IN MY SHED.
And it was sunny all day and I did way over my 10,000 steps.

Only slight negative is that I can't get the sage green paint off my fingernails.

So what nice things did you do today or think today or hear today?

YABVU, OP. That's not a shed, it's a summerhouse.

SixtiesChildOfWildBlueSkies · 24/05/2017 10:02

OP - your shed is wonderful.Long may your unicorn greet you smiling and your flamigos flamenco !

This was yesterday - we got the motorbike out and had an awesome ride to York. Walked around and found a delightful Tearoom just off the main area.
It had 20's music playing discreetly in the background, cloths and flowers on the tables, and a delicious selection of cakes.
Lovely relaxing place, lovely thoughtful owners.

On the way back we stopped off at some good friends for an hour, and arrived home as the sun was setting.

This morning I'm sat here looking out at the garden which is alive with sunshine and a gentle breeze.

Have you seen there's a 'Shed of the Year'? have a look at these. I think my favourite is the 'Mini Manor'. Grin

It's sunny.

I have no shed but the garden's looking OK. I think I'll be going to sit in it with Brew for elevenses

Feckinell Mrs DV that is a nice shed.

I rescued a worm today, guys.

squishysquirmy · 24/05/2017 11:19

Sounds lovely!
I am currently trying to persuade clematis to trail over my dingy, brown shed. The roof is in sunlight, but the sides of the shed are in shade, so this seemed a good way to get some flowers around it. It is a long project, but I love clematis so will hopefully look lovely once its fully grown!

softjellyjunglecustard · 24/05/2017 11:20

You're all totally amazing and beautiful in so many different ways x

Have just booked a session at Splash Landings for next week, as a surprise for the DDs. We're going to pretend we're just going for a drive + lunch, then rock up at SL instead - also meeting friends there, so it will be a lovely double surprise Smile

Hey OP, can we PLEASE all have lunch in your shed today? This is lush!!!!!!

TheFirstMrsDV · 24/05/2017 17:44

Sorry I have been at work but all round to mine for lunch on Friday?

Just bought some pink hair dye.

Friday's good for me. It's going to be a scorcher apparently.

It was really hot here today. My new vacuum arrived and I stupidly decided to do the stairs, and got horribly sweaty. New vacuum has headlamps. Shock

I've found an amazing child minder. Dd has been going to an after school/holiday club for over a year now and she hated it. Really hates it. She would always get upset before going. Any way. I've found a lovely child minder dd loves her and already know the other children she looks after. I feel like a massive weight has been lifted.

Although I would sack her in an instant if you was available to look after her in your amazing step op?

Funnyfarmer · 24/05/2017 18:01

*shed. Sorry.
Although with a shed like that I will assume you have a nice step too

Funnyfarmer · 24/05/2017 18:02

Also don't know why my 1st post posted twice

jacquejacque · 24/05/2017 18:04

Love this. I have a new job which has given me my happiness back. It's still demanding but in a much nicer field and has flexible hours. I've just finished my last bit of work at the kitchen table and am now sitting in the garden watching the dog amble about and sniff the flowers. Smile

Highalert · 24/05/2017 18:06

I just bought a reduced trifle from the Co Op for 27p. Happy days.

Lilmisskittykat · 24/05/2017 18:11

After a fairly chilled day in work for once now walking the puppy in the park in the sunshine ☀️

IJustLostTheGame · 24/05/2017 18:14

I'm jealous of the shed.
I got my fitbit today, I can't wait to try it out.
I also painted my nails a lovely orange.
I just ate a dr oetker pizza
I planted a cucamelon plant in the greenhouse and now I'm impatient for teeny melons to grow.
I have clean bedding for the bed. DH is away tonight so I get lovely clean fresh sheets that were dried in the garden without him scratching and farting and ruining them.

mayoli · 24/05/2017 18:16

Both nice and sad- met up with a friend who is moving to Australia on Saturday and I won't see her for over a year Sad But we had lovely chats and it was great to spend the afternoon with her.

MistressPage · 24/05/2017 18:24

Currently lying on a rug in the sunshine surrounded by squashed strawberries and juice. Delicious 22 month old chubsome delight of a DS is riding on my back and then climbing off and coming round to squat down in front of my face and laugh at me. I love him so much.

TheFirstMrsDV · 24/05/2017 22:08

I now have very bright pink hair in celebration of Turn it UP for Children's Hospice Week.

I love your shed op. I also love this thread.

I took dd (11 months) to the park, and she giggled and stuck her tongue out as me on the swings
We played with a big bowl of water, with ice cubes with fresh flowers inside. It was messy but dd's happy little face was so cute!
The sunshine was beautiful and we enjoyed a lovely walk
Dh let me have the last of the fancy ice cream
