What made you happy today?

I'm happy that my overwhelming pre-Christmas workload looks to be easing off a bit! But the main source of happiness today is the delivery of the piggies Christmas gifts:

Well yes it is of course the exclusive Rosewood Christmas Pudding Snuggle Bed!
And of course I bought 3, 1 for Ollie and Tallulah and 2 for the main herd. Going to find my Christmas fleecy tunnels too and on Sunday cage cleans the piggies will be going all festive! :)

Even I wouldn’t mind snuggling up on that!
 
Well, this weekend I managed to see my Mum and my sister down South. Haven’t seen either of them since early March. Had to do limited meets, social distance, no hugs etc but was so lovely to see them (separately) and to do our Christmas present swap early. We won’t be risking family events over Christmas. Unfortunately on the way home yesterday our car developed brake trouble and we were eventually brought home with our car on the back of a breakdown lorry but it could have been much worse.
And today I went to collect Son2A from Liverpool Uni. We are now all back together as a family for Christmas.

Sorry about the brakes but happy for you with regards everything else ☺️
 
1. Found out my son has got his first proper job, an apprenticeship in a care home.

2. My bunny Jeremy doing binkies everytime I walk in my room and that he tries to put his stacking cups inside of each other after he knocked over the tower I built 😁

3. My piggies don't automatically run anymore when I walk near the enclosures, altho Nicklaus always waits to see if I have food first before he runs!

3. My rats come straight to the top of their enclosure when they hear me coming up the stairs altho I'm sure that's more to see if I have a treat for them 🤣

You should take the love anyway you can get it 😂

Can I ask if you know any good farms around to get bales of hay? Or do you order it online?
 
@Siikibam I'm looking into that at the moment as 4 guineas and a rabbit go thro a lot of hay! I'm also looking into bedding as my rats seem to be very sensitive to normal wood shavings, wood pellets and paper pellets. I'm going to be asking my daughter's friends parents as they own stables to see what they get and where they get it as it's not proving too easy at the moment!

I’ve bought bales from speedgate farm in Longfield after a friend recommended them. There’s another local one I found but can’t remember the name now! Let me know where they recommend.
 
Today my daughter texted me to remind me of a silly happy little thing I did 22 years ago... when she was 4 years old somebody bought her a box of maltesers sweets for Christmas, and when it was empty I secretly filled it up with more maltesers when she wasnt looking for about 6 months... she thought it was magic lol! Today age 26 somebody from work gave her a box of maltesers and she remembered the magically refilling malteser box :)
 
Love that! It must havebeen hard to keep that secret for so long, and it's lovely that she still remembers it.

Reminds me of the time I was away overnight once, and left strict instructions with my husband for him not to eat a bar of chocolate I had left. When I came back the bar was where I had left it .... except it wasn't! He confessed a couple of months later that he had eaten the original bar and bought a replacement :P:lose:

I haven't had a good day, because I came in contact with someone with COVID, but a small cat walked up to me and purred while brushing against my legs. It made my day.

I am sorry you have the worry of coming into contact with COVID, I hope you will be alright and didn't catch it. I love it when cats do that, they are so sweet.
 
Went to a Zoom Carols by Candlelight this evening.
It was lovely to have the familiar carols but a shame about not being able to have a good sing.
It was a lovely evening and everyone had made the effort to have a candle with them.

For those who might be interested next week's Songs of Praise on Sunday is 'UK's Favorite Carol' and as they put the words on screen there is the chance to belt them out in your own home.

That actually did make me very happy today - I had a generous glug of Sherry and an enthusiastic sing-a-long with the kids!
