Goosey Lucy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Even though it's raining I'm happy because... due to the teacher's strike ES is not in school today so there was no mad rush this morning, I stayed in bed til 7:15 and then had a lovely shower while both boys watched tv. Now after a yummy breakfast we're off to the swimming pool for a play swim then after lunch YS will go to Nursery while ES and I go clothes shopping (for him, not me). He's only 8 but so excited!

Cate in NZ Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm happy cos it's Thursday evening..... and I don't work tomorrow so my weekend starts here I'd be happier if daughter would hurry up and come home. Teachers strike today gave her an unexpected day off and she's spent all day at Bluewater. Her journey home is tricky on public transport to our current temporary home so I'm half expecting a phone call to summon Mum's taxi at any minute which means that I daren't pour myself my usual thursday evening celebratory glass of wine...............but that means the bottle will last longer. All good then really I love a happy thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The kids are playing together reasonably peacefully. OH is on his way home and we're all having tea together. My sister and niece have been for a visit and it was lovely to see them. I've got a cup of tea and the Omlet site. It's the little things...

The girls have new woodchips and had a complete spring clean, I've been in the garden from 9am-3pm It's friday and I am off this weekend, a few folks coming tomorrow for a BHWT adoption course, learning about ex batts and how the process of adoption works Did I say it's friday Hurrah BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm happy today because, It's Friday, so I can relax over the weekend I don't have too much homework Molly is a star and is now laying 5 days in a row The apple tree is blossoming The veg upstairs on my windowsill is all starting to germinate We have the beginnings of grass starting to appear Hopefully my new pair of crocs will arrive tomorrow-which I don't have to pay Mum back for until her credit card bill comes through-about a month! Plus we're going to the farmers market at Montacute house tomorrow and I can buy fudge Also my dentist has said that he is going to try out new blocks for when he fits my fixed brace in three weeks which will hopefully be easier to attach wire to, less painful and will be quicker at dealing with my teeth!

Popcorn Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) I'm happy today because.... even though I am off work with a horrid cold virus, I was able to spend most of the day in bed, on my own, in some lovely peace and quiet with my laptop, TV and a hot cuppa! Still feel rubbish, but better for having some time-out. And I've only got 16 days to my due date - HURRAY !!!!!

Lesley Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm ridiculously happy today because Carl is taking a whole weekend off (a rare occurrence over the last few years and particularly recently) We are taking the lawnmower to be serviced and going to a plant nursery run by one man with the help of his parents - I don't mind giving my money to someone like that Then clean all the Eglus..... because we haven't done them since Christmas Tomorrow will be even more exciting.............

Chickvic Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) I'm happy because... my dad is recovering very well from a double bypass... my children are playing nicely and there are no arguments... hubby's last day at work and then he's off for 4 days... my girls are lovely and I still have the excitment of waiting for eggs!

Ziggy Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm happy today, because I'm going to pick up some of those chickens Claret is off to rescue... see you later Claret... I'll be the excited one running around shouting 'yessss, today's the day', with an embarrassed looking 8 year old by her side going 'please mummy calm down' And mostly because, for the first time in weeks, I have a calm, leisurely weekend ahead... all the previous weekends have been spent travelling, for holidays (which is fun, but the packing and unpacking and laundry and all that happened on the weekends around the week away, so busy weekends), and visiting relatives (OH's mum in hospital for serious treatment, and my parents in belgium, frantic weekend with flights cancelled and calls telling us to get to heathrow NOW to get on an earlier flight)... I can't remember last time I had a nice, lazy family weekend at home... So off I am today to pick the chooks, then I shall sit on the sofa in the conservatory room chatting with daughters about said chickens names (so far we have 'Pecky' I'm told, but still need two names) and sighing with contentment at not having to rush anywhere after packing bags and running around the house like a maniac... the builder is thankfully taking the weekend off too, so the house is mine.... oh mine...

Olly Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ANH, I'm glad you have got so much to smile about! I'm happy because: It's like a summer day here! I've spent the last four hours in the garden doing jobs that have been put off for ages. The girls have had a lovely time dustbathing, pottering and snoozing. My neighbour (who I'd thought was a bit aloof previously) had a long chat over the fence, and then lent me his electric hedge-trimmer I'm going to meet up with family tonight for my uncle's 85th birthday I'm going to a friend's for Sunday lunch tomorrow AND I've got a lift there, so I can enjoy a glass of wine with it! I've forgotten the horrible week I've had at work and all the other niggling things - this is about as good as it gets, a day in the garden with chickens!

Cate in NZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'm happy today because after a big family argument yesterday we're all back on track. Son has just been out and bought me a newspaper and brought it up to me with a cup of tea and bacon butty that he's made me and hubby's emailed and all's well down under again I really have got the most amazing family, and it's good to be reminded sometimes that we all work together as a team and that we need to recognise the work that we all do to keep our lives running smoothly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
