I am really happy today my husband seems to have decided to change his lousy diet...
I am happy an old friend will come to visit this summer...
I am happy that my oldest cared for his siblings so great yesterday while playing children’s board game and he acted like a father, resolved a conflict among the younger ones... he typically is a wild child... but sometimes he acts so mature.

I'm happy to be starting work early so I can have a slightly earlier finish (it's not by much, but it will feel much better & I feel more productive on a morning).

I'm happy that my baby has started putting her arms up to meSmile
And that it's fish and chips for lunch!

Mumphineasandferbmadea · 10/03/2019 07:34

I'm happy I'm going to see my nan today. She may over feed the kids with junk but they are so lucky to have a great grandmother.

I'm happy I get to spend a bit of one to one time with my oldest.

I'm also happy I did all the cleaning yesterday so dont have to worry today.

I’m happy that i am away for the weekend with my son and husband, and that I’m snuggled up with my boy drinking tea in bed with a day of adventures ahead.

vampirethriller · 10/03/2019 07:39

I don't, but I've been really strict with myself 6 days a week then one day is treat day. Lost nearly all the baby weight (though I was fat before herGrin)

I'm happy the dog got me up at 6am for a wee so I could enjoy a couple of hours of peace and quiet watching the snow fall.
I'm happy that I am baking later for my son's fuddle as I like any reason to bake.

The DC had rugby training at the same time in the same place for the first time this season so DH took them both and I got to go to the gym AND still had time for a coffee and read the news.

Also did Just Dance with DD which I secretly love

@Vampirethriller Oh, I was talking about religious fasting like not eating any (or reducing) meat before Easter. Thought you might be fasting because you were eating fish. Sorry, I did not want to say what you were eating was not healthful or anything like this.

@fleshmarketclose I love watching the snow fall but unfortunately it does not snow where we live today.

I'm happy I can drink my coffee in my nice warm bed Smile

fleshmarketclose · 10/03/2019 07:51

It's really fine now but earlier the flakes were huge and feathery so had I stayed in bed I would have missed it. I'm in Derbyshire so it was a surprise to me and the dog tbh.

meepmoop · 10/03/2019 07:51

I'm very happy I'm off on a spa day today

vampirethriller · 10/03/2019 07:54

Oh haha I see! I have given bread up for Lent actually. I could live on bread and butter.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 10/03/2019 07:58

It's a bit vomit inducing but I'm really happy to be seeing my boyfriend later today

Helpmedecide123 · 10/03/2019 08:00

I'm very happy that my 3 DC (7, 4, and 2) are cajoling DH about pancakes downstairs and I'm still "asleep" and mumsnetting upstairs in my lovely warm bed. Bliss!

berrybubbles · 10/03/2019 08:02

I’m happy that I’m sticking to my cutting diet and gaining a bit of muscle wellSmile
I’m happy that FIL is letting us use his Xbox whilst we’re staying so DH and I can indulge in a video game which we rarely get chance to. It makes me feel childish but I love it!

Bezalelle · 10/03/2019 08:03

I've been away for a few days on a really nice trip with friends, but I'm secretly happy to be going home tomorrow and seeing my cat BlushGrin

Sunnysidegold · 10/03/2019 08:27

In happy my children played really well together yesterday.there was genuine affection between them and then they snuggled up to watch tv together.im sure it was just a blip though, but gosh it was heart warming hearing the giggles.

We finished our bathroom yesterday.

Going to my mum's for a roast dinner today and maybe a walk along the beach.

domton · 10/03/2019 08:36

Fab thread.

I'm really happy that that my arm is almost recovered after being affected by a small stroke ten days ago...This morning I've poured coffee with my right hand, been able to do my bra up, and pulled on leggings in a record time of about 10 minutes. :) That's made me happy today.

Lightupthesky · 10/03/2019 08:38

I'm happy as I have today off work as I've not had a Sunday off for a long time

Crispyturtle · 10/03/2019 08:45

I’m happy as I’ve just finished my night shifts and now I get to snuggle up in a nice warm bed while the wind howls outside Smile

StillCoughingandLaughing · 10/03/2019 08:52

I’m happy that I’m off work all next week and fly out to the sunshine on Tuesday 🌞

MaMaMaMySharona · 10/03/2019 09:09

I’m happy that after years of wanting one, we finally rescued a dog in January and now I get to spend weekend mornings laying in bed with her and DP.

FurryDogMother · 10/03/2019 09:17

I'm happy that my Dad is still with us (thought we were losing him on Friday). I'm happy that there'll be roast lamb for lunch/dinner. I'm happy that there's no post today, because it's Sunday, and therefore nothing to worry about. I'm happy that last night's homemade bath bomb worked really well, and I can make more of them today :)

troubleswillbeoutofsight · 10/03/2019 09:46

I'm happy to playing a long and complicated game with 5 year old GS ( something about a three pen challenge where we have to close our eyes, pick out three pens and then draw something with eyes closed, the other person then has to guess what it is and mark it out of 10) It's blooming hilarious and hearing his giggling makes my heart warm
I'm happy that I've had new shelving put in the time greenhouse and have got most of my seedling sort there this morning ( and everything has survived the strong winds and rain)
