What made you happy today?

It was all changed from 1st August, according to something I saw in the paper last week. We found a garage in the middle of lockdown to do ours as it still has to be road worthy and with an old car we couldn't be sure of that.

"Your car, van or motorcycle’s MOT expiry date will be extended by 6 months if it’s due between 30 March 2020 and 31 July 2020."

"If your vehicle’s MOT expired on or before 29 March 2020, you must book an MOT as usual unless either:
  • you or someone you live with has coronavirus symptoms
  • you’re extremely vulnerable from coronavirus"

You must stay at home (self-isolate) if either of these situations apply - do not take your vehicle for its MOT."

The old man had his done last week, as with the financial situation looking a bit bleak, he wanted to have it done while the money was available.
 
So back to topic about what made me happy...every Thursday a group of ladies from where I work stop at 5pm and go on a video conference...we call it Tipples and Giggles we started it since lockdown as a way to de-stress towards the end of the week..well today they asked (!) if the guinea pigs could join us! Now this is a group of high level executives all well over 40 lol ! I love how guinea pigs cheer people up no matter who they are, how old they are or what they do! So many people see them as childrens pets..I think I am converting their view
 
You had me worried there, @SkyPipDotBernie . I had checked it, but wondered if it had been changed. My son's car is due next week, so he qualifies for the extension, just. I need to make sure he books it before he goes back to uni, as there'll only be certain dates when he will be back here to get it done.

Sorry to worry you. Yes that's why I use a mobile mechanic and get the car picked up and dropped off. Costs a bit extra but saves a loss in hours at work, so balances out
 
Going on holiday tomorrow :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
The piggies have to come too as we can’t ask anyone to come into the house to care for them.
This meant buying a new cage C&C Cages were wonderful when I said I needed it by tomorrow so they made sure it was sent in plenty time.
After a crazy week and no real time off since February we are looking forward to 2 weeks in East Yorkshire

I'm intrigued too, @Siikibam this is a real cliffhanger! Fingers & paws all tightly crossed here too.... Whatever it is? :hmm: Xx
 
PigglePuggle said:
All fingers and paws firmly crossed, we have a lot of paws (32 paws?) here so that should be super lucky for you :)

Thank you. Old documentation is the issue but paws crossed. I’ve told mine to cross their paws. All 56 of them 🤣 wait how can you have only 32 paws?

Glad she's enjoying her new perch :nod: x
 
This lot & how lucky I am to have all these beautiful creatures around me...

I cut the edges of the lawn & had to leave a big chunk un-cut as someone decided to leave their hiding place, so I left it in peace to hide again.

Today I am happy because all is proceeding well. I finally took the plunge and submitted my application for teacher training two weeks ago? I got invited to an interview Tuesday and was offered a (conditional) place! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😂 i was so happy I cried a little 🙄 embarrassing!, though they said that’s the enthusiasm they want 😁 Now it’s a case of processing documents, DBS etc. This is also the first time I have to hand in notice! Had to look up how to write a resignation letter 😳

@PigglePuggle I just want to say thank you (and your daughter) again for the help you gave me, I really appreciated it. By the way did she do PGCE or just QTS?

I can’t wait to start. I know it can be difficult and not all roses, but I feel I’m ready for it and want to experience all aspects of teaching.

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you :) such lovely news
 
Same here @Siikibam. In another life, I was a Teaching Assistant in Years R,1 and 2 and it is an amazing, challenging and rewarding job. To shape those little minds is just Wow!
