What made you happy today?

First time to drive to the shop on my own today and I managed to get in and out of the parking bay. :yahoo: I passed my driving test on Feb 2019 and I have always been scared of driving on my own ever since because parking makes me anxious (I can drive fine but parking is a bit difficult for me). Hubby won't agree to get to the shop today with me coz he has a bad stomach and I really needed to buy food for the piggies coz there are no salad leaves for them today. Just shows you I'd do everything for the fluffy monsters! 😂😂

You certainly wouldn't like to do my job then, it takes a certain kind of nutter to slow down in lane 3 of a fast running motorway to use a turn round point! :))

My daughter took her trumpet apart today to wash it (she has been at home for 6 months and is going out of her mind with boredom).
And then she couldn't get the valves lined up properly.
I googled it (as you do) found a fab tutorial, and both of us are now experts in aligning trumpet valves.
It's a silly thing but I was ridiculously pleased with myself for working it out.

The kitchen window is going to look beautiful every morning for a few weeks hopefully. And my planner arrived so I’ll have time to set it up before we start ☺️ I also had a lovely dinner with friends, talking and laughing.

Don't know but it does! My friend told me not to bother putting the flower food in the water (that always comes with cut flowers) and just drop a 2p piece in the vase with the water. I was very sceptical at first but now I do it all the time. I had some Chrysanthamums last 4-6 weeks.

I'm definitely gonna try that. I heard about adding sugar to the water but never found it made much difference to how long the flowers lasted.
 
My little Jess made me happy at her weigh in, only lost 12g this week despite being a being bleedy with squishy poos on and off bless her. So definitely deserved a second breakfast on the bed (currently under a blanket that I’m guessing will be straight in the wash when Miss Mega-bladder’s done! :)) )!

I dropped them in this morning. I’d love for the flowers to last, they’re pretty!

Good girl Jess. I like your smile in the first photo 😘
 
I went on the Tgi fridays website and saw you can order a bottle of one of their cocktails and have it delivered. Considering it costs about £9 for a cocktail while you're there, I thought it's a bargain. Just add lots of Ice and I might be able to make 3 drinks out of one of the bottles lol. My favourite is purple rain but there was another one I tried that was lovely, just can't remember what it's called.

Do you know how to make cocktails? I don't have a clue. I asked my sister how to make a skittles bomb once and I still didn't get it after she told me lol xx

Yeah I've always loved my wine but some cocktails are so nice. Not the purple rain at wetherspoons though, it tastes like fizzer sweets which I hate and is so watered down xx

Don’t think I’ve tried it. One of the cocktail bars we went to in Bham for my birthday did some brilliant ones, I love a bit of rum and they were :drool: And buy one get one free until 7 so we were there for a few before we even made it to the hotel! Blame my best mate wanting to spoil me after Ped! Forgot I’ve still got pics!

Well done @Swissgreys.

The internet is such an amazing resource if used correctly. MrA (who is always taking the mickey out of me for my love of Internet tutorials) has finally watched one himself and saved himself a small fortune by buying new remotes for the garage door and programming them himself today
 
I love a tutorial, I bought a replacement part for my Dyson and managed to repair it, with only minimal input from husband because I just couldn't get one part back on, £25 and it works good as it used to.
It was also a you tube video that got us back into the washing machine after the door handle broke, husband had removed the top and neither of us could reach the mechanism to open the door, found a video, in French, the only bit we understood was, knife and open! And hey presto we used that method for a few months until we found the right door handle part to repair it. Again saving a call out fee, a whole door would have been £100 but found the part needed for £12, again another video just to be sure we were right and knife to open door no longer required!
