What made you happy today?

I retract my statement about being happy my holiday was confirmed next week. It’s been cancelled due to Leicester lockdown! No one in or out 😭😭😭 I really hope people follow the guidelines properly now for everyone’s sake. I hope everyone else is staying safe ❤️
 
I found a Curver laundry hamper in Lidl for the boy's hay. I've stopped shopping in there because of the queues but it was quiet when I walked past this morning so I went in for piggie veg. Not only did I save money on the veg the hamper was £8 cheaper than I have seen it anywhere else. I love a bargain. :yahoo:
 
I managed to save a tower of boxes (my local garage was restocking when I went in) from falling over this evening and causing foot traffic jams lol.

We'll just ignore the part where it was me nearly toppled the boxes in the first place :))
 
Last night, I noticed that one of my earrings is lost. I scratched my right ear and noticed it was gone. It was 1am mind you (I was busy reading a book). I panicked! It is an 18 or 21 karat (can't exactly remember) earrings and I had it for 30 years (since I was 8 yrs old). I looked for it crawling everywhere in the house in the middle of the night and can't find it. I dreaded that I lost it while I was in the shop and almost cried. Told my mum via FB messenger (it was morning time in Manila) and she told me if I couldn't find it, she has a spare earrings she can give to me. I woke up this morning and started searching again (in our car, and the garden, which was quite difficult to look into because of tall grass) and I still couldn't find it. 😭

I told hubby that I wish it just miraculously turn up when I stop looking for it, but I was still devastated. So after an hour or so later, I did the cage morning clean and topped up the piggies' hay and bowls. I opened one door of the tv cabinet where I store the guinea pig pellets and there below the door was my earring (the door was hiding it when it's closed)! :yahoo: Hubby said, obviously I didn't search enough and I should've worn my glasses! 😂

Whew! Now I decided to just buy a cheap pair or earrings that I can wear everyday. I started wearring my gold earrings a year ago coz the holes in my ear were starting to close (I rarely used jewelleries coz I'm just always in the house). I don't want to go crazy looking for it again in case it drops from my ears unknowingly.

My newest funky additions are still going strong! Growing into such little lizards and colours coming out nicely now :love: Still rather teeny and hard to spot so nice to see them together! Eating well as you can see from the gigantic-poo on the bottom right pic!:))

I bought that after my old laundry basket ripped! I was thinking I could do the same for the hay as well...just have to find somewhere to put it first...

I know that feeling! I bought myself some amethyst earrings last year. Went on to lose one while in bed 😭 I need earrings with slightly longer posts - I’ve got chunky earlobes 🤣

I’m happy because I’m healthy, alive and still have a roof over my head. Simple pleasures ☺️
 
Just ordered presents and booked zoo tickets for my younger nephew's 6th birthday in a month's time, he's getting a jigsaw, a craft set, some magnetic building shapes, and a day out at Blackpool zoo with a picnic and hopefully some capybaras :)
 
Zoo tickets seem to be discounted a lot for bookings a month in advance, it was only £62.50 for a family of 4, I think we should all go to the zoo, they desperately need the funds with so many animals to feed and no income for so long! Based on scaling up veg and hay needs from piggy to capybara size I bet that ticket price would barely cover a week's worth of capybara foods... never mind the tapirs, anteaters, giraffes, elephants...!

Catching up on this thread, I was racking my brains trying to remember where in Switzerland are the canals, and men with long poles singing "Just one cornetto".
Then it came to me

But I don't think you get serenaded by men singing "just one more chocolate, give it to meeee" on these gondolas.
 
My GP magazine arrived today. It’s a great issue.
Went to have my lockdown hair shorn - I don’t need to cry when I look in the mirror now.
The piggies are all in excellent health - weight dropping a bit which is good. They all helped Jemimah when she was getting weight building food so every pig , except Jemimah, put on a few extra grams. All back to normal now.
The cage had a deep clean so everyone is happy
 
My neighbour called over the fence that he was going to cut his lawn this afternoon and to go round and cut the long grass round the edges for the piggies if I wanted it. I've got very happy piggies and extra grass in the fridge for tomorrow. Our grass is so short now it's hard to find a handful each for them in the mornings.
 
Today we finally made our baby official and Jessica has finally been registered. She's 14 weeks old but due to covid the registry office closed until mid June. Very impressed that they called yesterday and made an appointment for today. One appointment for morning to take all the info and then Lord Kelly went to an afternoon appointment to prove our identities and address etc and then collect the certificates. That's one job down.
 
What made me happy today is I looked at Amazon for some Lemonade concentrate for my SodaStream then I looked at Lakeland and realised it was twice the price on Amazon! :blink: So I ordered 2 bottles of Diet Lemonade and 1 bottle of Slimline Tonic from Lakeland for less than 2 bottles of Lemonade off Amazon. Well happy.:)
