What made you happy today?

The piggies are outside enjoying the sunshine and ultra fresh grass for the first time this year - and first time in our new home :nod:

I don't normally give them grass time before May, but the grass is dry and it's just warm enough, so it's good for them to have a bit more space and a change of scene. 🌞🌳
The cage was already battered by my son's footballing skills, and has barely survived the house move - I need to look into buying a new one 💳💰
 
Midwife appointment done. Happy that everything is normal and I still have time to carry on as is for now. Productive day with a nice clean kitchen and ironed a load of baby clothes and started organising the drawers in the nursery... Then found even more stuff *sigh*
 
Just phoned my old Mum for a chat and to ask what essential shopping she needs this week, her essential weekly shopping list is:

12 bottles of lager
Cake
Jelly
Icecream
Tinned fruit
Cup-a-soup
Cheese spread

Bless her :) she shops and eats somewhere between a 4 year old and a student doing their first weekly shop away from home!
I'm going to make a nutritious veggie lentil curry and piggy daddy can take it round with her shopping, make sure she eats some real food!

The cup-a-soup seems a bit rash- but can't see a problem with the rest of it ;) looks like a good essentials list to me :D
I do have a slight ice-cream addiction tho, so that really is an essential :))

Bless her I hope she enjoys it all, especially the curry 🥘

A bit odd but my 4 year old nephew’s chickenpox that suddenly appeared last night! :)) Poor little lad’s got all this going on, had two anxiety attacks at school last week on top of his autism, lazy eye and speech impediment that he deals with (not too well sometimes) daily but him and my sister and niece can stay at home now! Been worrying about my baby sister being a home carer with everything, might be 30 but I’m still very protective! Thankfully work have covered her as she’s not on a huge amount of hours with being a single mum. And the kids have been at school so less germs flying around now they’re home! That’s a few less of my nearest and dearest to worry about so much! But feel a bit bad for poor itchy Ellis bless him!

Aw poor Ellis :( I hope he feels better soon but like you say, at least your sister can now stay at home x
 
Hope he doesn’t have it too bad. Funnily enough I was happy when my youngest got chicken pox! She was in year 1 at the time!

Thanks @Siikibam :) Think it’s better when you’re younger really, I remember being 8/9 when I had it and scratched myself like mad! Have a feeling might have been a disturbed night for my sis, he was absolutely sweating and had 23 spots just on his back(my niece counted!:))) so probably a lot more today! Poor little Smellis:hug:
 
I don’t know about younger. The older two had it at...5 and 4. The girl caught it off her brother and had it REALLY bad. Spots near her eyes and mouth. Everywhere. We worried about her being scarred for life, literally. But thankfully she was ok in the end. I need to find that photo!

Well here's a weird thing... don't know how relevant really, just odd. My eldest had it at the age of 2 years and 9 months, when her baby sister was just 2 weeks old.

Then the little one caught it when SHE was 2 years 9 months old!

That is WEIRD! It’s like the oldest and youngest had their ‘allergy attack’ (asthma) at roughly the same age! Uncanny.

I haven't got a choir!

If ever I suggest singing my husband suggests I go to the bottom of the garden

Aww that's a pity, maybe form one (virtually at the moment) you could raise the roof at hymn practice ;)

Saying that my singing abilities sound like they're worse than your hubbies impression of yours ;)
... Although saying that - I'm told I virtually sing when I answer the phone at work :))
(they don't tell me I answer it badly tho! Lol!). X
 
Being able to take my cat to the vets for his monthly check and steroid injection made me happy and I think waiting in the car park instead of the waiting room made him happy lol. As he has liver failure he loses some weight each month, last month he lost a lot more than usual which was a big worry but today he had put it back on again! which made me extra happy😻
 
Me and my sister are plotting a shared dinner on Sunday for our families. Sharing recipes and then sitting down at the same time to eat the same food and setting up Skype so we can enjoy dinner together even though we're apart. I'm really looking forward to it and it's keeping me going.

What a fantastic idea! Sounds like you will all have a lot of fun:))
 
Well, actually there was quite a lot to smile about today.
1. Today was the day that a group of us were meant to be having an evening of oracle and angel card readings. This had to be cancelled (for obvious reasons) but instead I had an individual online reading via messenger video. A very uplifting and insightful experience.
2. A friend in a Watsapp group organised a virtual coffee morning and we had a video coffee and cake session and a great catch up.
3. I made it to ALDI and they had loo roll, kitchen roll, bread, eggs and other staples. And 2 bags of coriander (happy floofs)
4. Son1A cleaned my car inside and out to showroom standards.
Oh, and the sun was out, the birds were singing and the world looked beautiful.
And now I’m off to open a gift sent to me through the post earlier in the week by a wonderful friend.....
