It’s Friday and I’ve woke up from a piss poor sleep courtesy of dog sitting barky chihuahua! I have a 12 hour shift in store for me today but I’m in a bloody good mood! So indulge me. What 5 things are you looking forward to today? I am looking forward to.

  1. My bacon and sausage sandwich for breakfast!
  2. My 5k run to work!
  3. There’s a new episode of my favourite podcast out.
  4. Being able to have the time to catch up on my tv programmes tonight as I’ve not had chance to even switch it on this week!
  5. Have a very very large GIN!

I love how all these things are nice and simple but bring joy to people.

  1. Dossing on the sofa
  2. My chocolate bar
  3. The dishwashing fairy visiting
  4. The ironing fairy visiting
  5. Hubby finishing work early
I've put it in that order cause I expect the fairies have been and gone by the time hubby gets home. Don't tell me you don't believe in fairies because then if my housework fairies don't show it means you've killed them. I'll know.
Iwantcreamcakesformydinner · 25/09/2020 09:39

Omg I think I've lost it 🤣 Friday yeah? Wine tonight should sort me out 😂😂

LionessRoar · 25/09/2020 09:40
  1. My mid morning coffee
  2. Not working today
  3. Seeing my sister for the first time since lockdown... she lives miles away
  4. Meeting up with my dad later for a meal
  5. Can’t think of a 5th one but I don’t mind as I’m so excited about seeing my sister that I could burst/ cry... she’s the one person I’ve really missed during lockdown
sapnupuas · 25/09/2020 09:41
  1. Finishing at 3. And I will bloody finish on time.
  2. My son coming home from school. He's 4 so I love hearing all about it still.
  3. Son getting his mop cut. He looks like a mushroom
  4. Watching an episode or two of Schitt's Creek
  5. I found an unopened bottle of Baileys that is now nicely chilling in the fridge. That's all mine later.
Merryweather80 · 25/09/2020 09:43
  1. Finishing a warm coffee - for a change.
  2. Snuggling up with da who’23 weeks 18 corrected.
  3. Hearing about the girls day at school when they finish at 320
  4. Snuggling up together as a family to watch something-(I usually nod off)
5 Knowing that tomorrow is Saturday so we can (try) lie in and not be up at 6 for showers etc.

I've been up since 2 am so I'm off for a catch-up co-sleep. Nighty night.

RightOnTheEdge · 25/09/2020 09:48

Ooh it took me a while to think of 5 but thank you for making me think about positive stuff Smile

1- Clocking off from work
2- Picking my dc up from school and seeing their little faces
3- Just flopping on the sofa and relaxing watching a good TV programme and knowing work is done for a couple of days
4- Snuggling up under my duvet listening to the wind and rain and listening to the new Strike book on audiable
5- not setting the alarm for too early tomorrow.

RightOnTheEdge · 25/09/2020 09:51

Soundbyte you've reminded me that my online shopping is coming tonight! I'd forgotten.
I hate putting it all away but I will look forward to eating my chilli coated peanuts that I've ordered!

Serin · 25/09/2020 09:53

I'm off today so looking forward to
Chilling, and wearing pjs all morning.
Walking the dog
Being in a quiet house
Using my new skin care that DD ordered for me (it's her thing, skincare)
The bag of trail mix in the cupboard.

HildaOgdensLipstick · 25/09/2020 09:55

The latte I’m just about to make
A 3 day weekend
The KitKat Santas that I snuck on the Tesco order that is being delivered this afternoon
Planting tulip and daffodil bulbs this afternoon
A large glass of red after dinner

That’s made me feel a lot better about my day already!

ifiwasascent · 25/09/2020 10:00

This is good I need this. I'm off work sick and DH is working away so need to think of some positives.

1- drinking copious amounts of tea today
2- having a nice shower and washing my hair
3- as DH has been working away I'm going to do a date night tomorrow so going to meal plan
4- have cuddles and play with my new kitten
5- having a panini for lunch

Serin · 25/09/2020 10:01

Kitkat Sants Shock

Serin · 25/09/2020 10:03

Sorry that should say kitkat santas
But the shock remains the same.

alfreds · 25/09/2020 10:04

What a lovely uplifting thread!

1- I have a day off today, it's lovely knowing I have a long weekend stretched out in front of me.

2- a sunny autumnal walk with dh and a pub lunch before the school run.

3- food shopping for the weekend. Having a full fridge gives me crazy levels of contentment.

4- Picking dc yo and getting to hear about their day. They're still quiet young and get excited to see me at home time. It's lovely.

5- A snuggly evening with all of us safe at home. Movie and a bottle of wine.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/09/2020 10:04

Day off work today so:-

1). A lie in, 3 cups of coffee in bed
2) meeting very good friends for lunch
3) not working until 6.00, leisurely ironing or gardening instead
4) probably not wine tonight as had a fair bit this week but have the possibility
5) reading the new Strike in bed which has just arrived, can’t wait, she writes so brilliantly and I’m in love with Strike ❤️😁
