What made you happy today?

My guys are home from boarding! 🥳

They were chilling out and eating hay within minutes of being back in their run, which I'm taking as a good sign. Apparently they've been charming the boarders with how chilled out they've been as well, which I'm taking as another good sign.

Very glad to have almost everyone home safe and sound.
 
Me again!

Husband is away for work, chores are done, baby is asleep (for now)...

As a treat/consolation I am going to bed a bit early to eat takeaway, drink an actual beer, and watch an awful Christmas film. Just me, the dog, and the baby monitor.

How long before the baby surfaces, do we reckon :))

Lovely! Make the most of it. I remember those days when you never have time off! Lets hope the baby sleeps long enough for you to enjoy it all...........
 
Today I joined some of the mum's from our TinyTalk group for a post class brunch at Harvester and got to know people better. Jessica also got a certificate for hitting 75 signs! She was so proud she fell asleep clutching the certificate on our way to lunch 😂

Enjoy it, I hope 6am at the earliest! I remember that time too well also - it seemed like my eldest had a telepathic link to our dining table, he started up just as we were sitting down so often!

It does get better - until 18+ when you find yourself regularly wondering what time you will be woken by them coming home half cut in the early hours ...

Just about - can't complain really because he woke up just as I finished 😅

Oh I wish, I still only get 30-60 minutes of sleep at a time overnight! Most of the time I just survive the day, that's part of why I like this thread - it encourages me to celebrate the good stuff even if the rest is just barely hanging in there :))
 
I have a night on my own with no football! (tbh I'd rather watch paint dry than watch 22 vastly overpaid men kicking a bag of wind around a field attempting to kick it into 3 planks of wood with a net attached!) OH is watching football in a pub 30 miles away and is staying overnight at a mates.

🎉🎉 (party at yours :dri::beer:)

Would I be accusing myself of evil mother syndrome if I admitted that I'm quite happy having seen my eldest off to a rugby sevens tournament in Dubai until Sunday? 😂
 
Betsy said:
No not at all! It just shows that you have brought your eldest up properly!

Not sure about that, before he left i felt I had to urge him to not drink so much in order to avoid causing a diplomatic incident or familial embarrassment by misbehaving in a very strict country :xd:

I've heard it's about £15 a pint so I don't think he'll be getting drunk!

The joys of being a Mum. You never stop worrying about them or feeling responsible for their welfare no matter what age they are!
 
Have been feeling ill for the last couple of weeks but have tried to keep going, today I gave in and went to the doctor, firstly the receptionist was lovely 😮 and fitted me in at the end of clinic, prescription for antibiotics for sinus infection without having to fight for them and this afternoon I had to get my car tyre looked at as I thought I had a slow puncture, turns out it was just a valve and the nice man didn't charge me.
So although I still feel rubbish there is good out there!

Restores your faith in humanity sometimes doesn't it. My garage has always been good to me, they cleared all the warning lights on my qashqai so I could flog it to webuyanycar without losing a ton of money and they didn't charge me. They also only charged me an hour's labour when they worked on it last as they felt bad how much the bill was going up by (not their fault at all)
 
I have my heated gilet on! It has heat pads across the shoulder blades, over the chest and on the neck. I have been cold in between my shoulder blades for at least the last 30 years and that makes the rest of me feel cold and miserable so it's just lovely that I feel warm and cosy now!
 
While I was shopping today someone backed into my car.
Hard.
They caused a lot of damage, and they chose not to leave their details.
Initially I was super upset about this - it is inconvenient, and will cost in excess of a thousand Swiss francs to repair the damage.

But I took a deep breath.
I checked our policy and we are covered for random car park damage.
We have paid extra for this for years and never used it.

Tonight i am choosing to believe that the person who hit our car (hard) knows it, and did not own up because they couldn't.
It will be an inconvenience for me, but we will have the car repaired and the insurance will cover it.
The person who hit us feels bad, but they will not ruin my day.
I am fortunate - I am ok.
 
Sorry to hear about that Swissgreys …. so pleased you’re ok !
Sad that for whatever reason the culprit didn’t own up.
As you said the car can be fixed……..and you’re ok 🥰

It is beautiful that despite this person being so inconsiderate you still prevail and are positive . I really admire that attitude towards life and that really inspires me as I find that difficult and most of the time let my emotions get the best of me.
It is frustrating that this person is of legal age since they have a driving license yet they are too cowardly and selfish to take accountability of their own actions .

The most important thing is you’re ok and that you are not letting someone else’s inconsiderate behaviour ruin your day.
Good for you

I admire your positivity.

We had the opposite some years ago. Someone left their details on the car while we were in a services on the way home from Scotland. Could not see any damage at all. There was a faint mark but it was more dirt marks and washed off straight away. He also informed his insurers and for around 6 months we had to field phone calls and letters pestering us about whether we wanted to claim
 
Great night away with my friend in London, I'm still not 100% but managed to get through dosed up on pain killers and antibiotics! We had a great time catching and then to a show. If you ever get the chance to see choir of man, I'd highly recommend it, amazing show.
Unfortunately I've now come home to a sick child with a temp and cold symptoms 🤧🤒, still the weekend was great. 😊
