Evening all!
I know it's all very much doom and gloom, with the days events and everything going on in the world. I feel there's not much really I can do, except to ask:

How is everyone? I hope you're all doing well and having a great day/evening.

I wanted to make a thread where people can come and say something positive that's happening in their lives, or just something positive and uplifting. I know that, sometimes, when I read a friendly or supportive comment, it sticks in my head for awhile.

So, my DP and I have finally managed to get a two bedroom house! 😁 We're very excited. Things seem to be moving up!

Also, the dog ripped up part of our new carpet chasing a spider 🙈 Tbh I don't know whether to be angry or relieved...she caught it!

How about you all? Any good news or words of happiness you'd like to share? Any funny stories? Just to try and brighten the day 😄

I'm full of cold - but broke the back of a big piece of work so whilst feel shocking do feel like I've had a good day !

Thanks for the idea

My new manager bought me a small but touching gift, just because she knew I’d like it. There are many reasons why I’m considering looking for a new job, but a kind gesture for no reason means that she won’t be one of those reasons.

I got a £30 refund from something I thought was a lost cause!

Great thread idea OP!

I am so glad the scorching heat has gone - and walked my dog in a light drizzle an hour ago which felt wonderful.

I spent the day in town school supply shopping with my daughter (9) feels good to be finally be prepared for schools going back. Got my boys hairs cut for school & dogs hair cut/groomed for our walks to school. Looking forward to autumn walks & some child free time next week (been a loooooooong summer)

It won’t be as hot tomorrow! I might get a decent nights sleep.

My mum got a big PPI payment back. Couldn’t have happened to a more surprised more deserving person Smile

GoosetheCat · 28/08/2019 23:09

These are great! I'm so happy for you all! It's lovely to have something positive to read 😃

My rescue cat finally climbed on my lap to snuggle today, he’s been with us for 10 months and although he likes a bit of attention he’s never actually wanted to snuggle up. It felt awesome even though he’s a big unit and I was really hot Grin

I fell over and tore the ligaments in my hand, trying not to stand on a slug...
The slug survived and my swollen hand looks ten years younger than my 'normal' hand. Grin

I spent the day with my son doing pokemon go!!!
He’s such a sweet boy.

I’ve just had a lovely couple of days away with my DC but left something at our hotel when we checked out! Phoned the hotel today and they found it and are posting it to me tomorrow. They were SO helpful!

AnneLovesGilbert · 28/08/2019 23:45

It’s raining!!!!! I just put the bins out and it’s so beautifully chilly outside I’m tempted to take my clothes off and dance naked in the front garden Grin I won’t, but rain is the highlight of my day.

BobTheFishermansWife · 28/08/2019 23:45

Love a good positive thread and reading what's good with everyone, so lovely!!
For me today it's my dogs birthday so dp and I were singing happy birthday to him, I'm pretty sure our DC laughed at us, he smiled at least (maybe wind) I may have imagined the laugher as he is only 7 weeks old 😂

GoosetheCat · 29/08/2019 03:48

@BobTheFishermansWife even if it was wind I'm sure he was laughing on the inside! 😁

@TiredyMcTired it's against the law to move when a cat chooses to sit on you anyway, didn't you know that? 😂

I made an appointment yesterday to sort out my finances. That's a heavy load off my shoulders. Smile
Onwards and upwards.

Great thread OP Smile

Had a wonderful day at a beach recently and DS didn’t moan when it was time to come home, just asked when we could come again.
