Reasons To Be Cheerful

[LadyCG]

1. It's sunny.

2. It's Friday and OH will be home at lunchtime.

3. It's our annual jaunt to St Ives tomorrow.

4. I have a lovely cup of tea in front of me.

5. I can hear squeals of delight coming from the other room - the boy is enjoying his playmat.

6. House sale seems to be going smoothly. Our house buyer wants a third viewing when we get back so she can show one of her colleagues apparently. Why not. She's brought her entire tribe already.

7. I'm going shopping later. OH told me to take what I need out of the savings and go and buy myself a few extra bits for my holiday :-)

8. Yesterday found 2 £10 notes at the bottom of a handbag I haven't used in a while. To be honest I haven't a clue how they even got there. I generally don't carry cash.

9. I'll be making a picnic later for when we stop at the Tamar Bridge tomorrow. I love picnics.

10. I've just had a parcel arrive. I love parcels. The contents are probably *** but I still love parcels.

Sooooooooo ... What are your RTBC?

The sun is shining, I have a bottle of Famous Grouse Ruby Cask to sip from tonight and I'm (maybe) going to IKEA tomorrow for a cheap breakfast and a quick getaway with the goods.

Nice one, Doug. I wouldn't bank on a quick getaway from Ikea, though. Their stores are the stuff of nightmares.

Minty - on your last point, yes, there are things we probably take for granted.

[LadyCG]

Hi QoM, I'm glad you're well. You've been with the OH a few years now, I would think?

[queenofmean]

It makes a change. I feel amazing.
Yes we have been together now for 4 years and 6 months - still no need for a hate I’m afraid.

[queenofmean]

HAT not hate.

1, My veg plants are ready for collection
2. Going to the gym in a bit
3. I had to take in a pair of trousers yesterday
4. Going to spend some time with a long lost school friend next week
5. It's a lovely day
6. I didn't need painkillers this morning despite being on my feet most of yesterday
I think that's a good list

It's a beautiful sunny day. Just arrived in Dorset with OH & grandson awaiting our cooked breakfast! We are all well and looking forward to having a few relaxing days.

2. I`m having lunch at the Iva Cafe later
3. It's a beautiful day - not a cloud in the sky
4. Still got 6 days off work

[LadyCG]

You'll know when the time is right, QoM.

Patsy, Dorset is lovely. We enjoyed our little trip to Weymouth earlier this year.

237, you do have an enviable jet-set lifestyle. I'd love to visit some of the places you've been to.

Lady C- but the highlight of my summer was a week's camping in Cornwall (was lucky with the weather as well)

[LadyCG]

Spath, are you a big Eminem fan?

[ummmm]

Not cheerful at the moment.

Although looking a booking flights to Ireland so I'll be cheerful then.

[LadyCG]

Cornwall is unbeatable, 237SJ. I love my annual trip to St Ives.

[murraymints]

I've had to take that blummin' hat back to John Lewis several times now...! ;0) x

[whistonian]

I woke up this morning.
