Small things that make you happy

Coming home to a clean house and beautifully made bed on a Wednesday after our cleaner has been. I make the bed every day obviously but I tend to do a quick sheet straighten and then throw the duvet back over - she does it like a good hotel and it is lovely to get in to it at the end of the day.

Ahh i love fluffy dressing gowns, I have an uber fluffy one from M&S, not quite as nice though!

I got woken up this morning my my cat purring in my ear and her whiskers tickling my cheek. she's so sweet and doesn't meow properly (its more like a squeak), that it didn't matter it was 5:30 am ? ?

ETA - i've just discovered H put a bit of chocolate in my lunchbag to have at lunchtime, which I would never normally have! sorry that's UBER?

Buying some nice thank you cards for my mates who have organised my hen night ?

The husband wakes me up with a coffee every morning, which I love.

Except this morning when I was up at 5am, so I made him one when he got up at 6.

Knowing that my OH can always make perfectly cooked runny boiled eggs and he cuts my 'soldiers' up just how I like them even though that's differently to how he likes his. 'tis my comfort food.

Yesterday I received a box of sweeties and some gorgeous Sunflowers from some wonderful internet wierdy friends. That made me very very happy. x

Aw these are lovely!

Spot, how are you? Is the house finished?

It may be nothing, but last night the baby settled herself back to sleep instead of escalating into a tizz and needing a feed. Last time she did that it led to a period of sleeping through the night- which would make me very happy indeed. <fingers crossed>

That I can fit in jeans that I couldn't do up a couple of months ago. I've only lost 9lbs but I feel great for it and its such an incentive to keep going.

I love new dressing gowns too!

Oooh I love that feeling!

I still have jeans I last wore on our honeymoon - five years ago ? One day <sigh>

Hi Doughnut! I'm okay thanks (off work ill though atm - long story!). House isn't finished. Very poor show almost 3 years on, but life has got in the way somewhat. We still have a couple of rooms to start (bedrooms) but it's a vast improvement (even in the bare walls and floors) on what we had when we moved it!
How are you?

Listening to the Lighthouse Family

Having customers (I work in a callcentre) tell me they hope I have a nice afternoon/evening/weekend. Makes me smile.

Receiving random/unexpected emails from my friends just saying "hi".

Booking a holiday - I need to do this!

Oh no! I remember it being very, erm, in need of modernisation ? We are moving into somewhere in need of some, but not nearly as much, modernisation as soon as the paperwork gets sorted. I'm working full time and studying half time so I'm sure we'll crack straight on with it ?

We had a wedding, me doing random shift-work, both working full time (plus extra hours quite a lot!). Also the fact that I have discovered I hate DIY in the process. ?

It'll get done soon I'm sure. ?

Good luck with yours. x

The smell of clean washing when it's been on the line to dry.

I have a teeny tiny pair of trousers (I use as a how slim I am gauge) that I last wore when I was a very small 10, if not size 8 about seven years ago. At the beginning of the year, I couldn't get them past my mid thighs. This morning I did them up. The camel toe and muffin top wasn't a pretty sight, but I got them done up. I will now be in a good mood all day. ?

I'm not sure this is not a marker of a very sad life but I can't tell you how happy I was to see a pee in a potty this morning ?

Oh and the thought that next week I'm going to have a proper night out with some mates.

OOh this is a bit like mine I love love love seeing washing blow on a line. Cheers me up no end. I've no idea why as I'm not really a domesticated sort at all.

Pretty shoes, they make me feel good and light and floaty.

Oh and the tap tap sound that the soles (not heels really) of shoes make on tiled/ stone floors, I love it. (I know that's a really odd one)

The glug glug of wine poured from a full bottle

New pillows - I love them when they are all springy!

A vase of fresh flowers in the house (very rare!)

Not having to get up to do anything on a weekend morning, and lolling in bed with Mr CB eating breakfast and reading the papers.

The day after exercise when you're aching a bit but not so much you can't walk.

When OH sends me a photo of our cat doing something stupid

When the sandwich shop remembers me and knows that I don't like butter!

seeing your user name reminded me! - last night I picked a huge bowl of cherries off our cherry tree, and we sat down and ate them - that made me happy, as they were so delicious - and free!!!

Oooh, I like that too. I also like fresh bedding.

Lentils ?

And finally getting around to reading a book I've meant to read for ages and loving it.

And new flavours of shower gel.

[twee twat] getting random, loving texts from my boyfriend [/twee twat]

And when my cat smiles at me, she is so cute ?

Lying on the daybed in my mum's lounge - the sun pours right into it and it's always so warm. Plus her house smells like my childhood!

Friday nights, MrH and I go to our favourite restaurant straight after work. The first sip of wine is great, seeing the food coming out of the kitchen is also very good!

Having just passed my test, I'm loving driving along straight roads in the country with good tunes on and the dog beside me, enjoying the breeze!

My daughter picking up a scented candle in a tin this morning, giving it to me whilst singing "Happy Birthday"*

She then saw a spider and did a lovely rendition of Incey Wincey Spider.

Pretending she was a dog and licking my face!!

I had a lovely time this morning from 5.45 onwards!!!!!!!!!!!!

*it's not my birthday, I think the candle reminded her of birthday cakes or it looks a bit like a cake.

Aaah PFL, that's so sweet! Have you been away from Hitched, or just on BT? haven't seen you for ages! anyway, nice to see you again ?

Sparkley, I'm so happy you're happy and have a lovely boyfriend honey! ?

Lovely Hitchers make me happy. Knowing we can come on here almost any time of day, and find people we know and can have a giggle with ?

Aw, Flump. You're a good spud. You just made me smile.

Aaah Flump, you are so lovely ? ?

Happy Friday everyone! ?
