yvonnejambo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Had a really horrible day at work today and felt like everything was against me. When I got home and putting my big fluffy slippers on cheered me up loads. So got me thinking of the little things that actually cheer you up or bring you back to feeling life aint that bad. So whats yours? My other wee thing is clean sheets on the bed, makes life seem nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just when someone goes out of the way to help you. I was struggling big time trying to get a cast iron bath out of a house on monday so I asked a couple of glazing boys next door if they could give us a lift for ?20. After doing it, and trust me they are heavy the guys said don't worry about the money. That cheered me right up. Not because i saved money but because the guys we're willing to do it off their own backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Had the perfect day. Finally dug out a bush that has been bothering me, it was in an awkward place so it was hard to get at the roots to cut them to get it out. Had a shower went with the wife to the mall, small amount of shopping, then to a nice restaurant for lunch. Two pints of Canadian, and a lovely curry. Got home, still 25C. just perfect weather. Made a couple of Harvey Wallbangers. Don't usually have them but have had a bottle of Liquore Galliano that we bought in Tiajuana in 1972, and felt it mebbe should be used. That was three hours ago, so it must have been alright, considering date and location purchased anything could have happened. The day was marred somewhat on hearing on the news that a young 21 year old Vancouver Canucks defenceman was killed on his motor cycle earlier today in a head on collision with a truck. Very sad, but life does go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Finding cash when you don't expect it. Like down the back of the couch or in a disguarded pair of jeans or a jacket that hasn't been worn for months. Always feels good even when it's only a couple of pound coins EXACTLY what I was going to say. The jacket you've not worn for a while has a fiver or a tenner in the pocket. As you say, even a couple of pounds is beer money. The opposite holds when you put on the jacket, discover what feels like money in your pocket, only to discover that it's 100 Jamaican dollars. (And you're not in Jamaica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
