Our local NatWest plays hideous music, really loudly. I really hate going in there, but had promised to pay some money into my son's account.
I was dreading it - but I opened the door and ...silence. I was so excited that for once it was just like a Bank and not Primani!
It made my day.

Managing to follow an on line crochet tutorial and finish these wrist warmers.

rosesarered How long had they been there or didn't you care? had ir started to go white.

I have just ordered a Christmas present online for DS's partner but DS has still not got round to giving me any ideas. That is at least another presee found.

A lovely morning with DGS (10 months). He was showing off all the new things he has learned.

I met a very good friend for coffee at 10am this morning. Haven't seen her for about 2 months and we didn't stop talking for 3 hours tchgrin

I then had to dash home to look after DGS while his parents went shopping. We had a really good time together and the time with him flew by too. It can be a bit fraught with an autistic child but today was brilliant - he reckons he's coming round after breakfast tomorrow for some more fun so he'd enjoyed it too, which is the best part tchsmile

granjura pleased to hear Minou is still with you and coping well on her 3 legs x

We have our two gorgeous Diva girls with us tonight - first time they have stayed completely on their own..... We had a power cut during the early part of the evening and though they were scared to start with.... we played games - torchlight and candlelight - we told stories etc. etc. they were quite disappointed when the lights came back on...

We are off to see The Nutcracker Ballet tomorrow (a first for them) and they are so, so excited - me too if truth be known ...???

Just back from lunch with two of my dearest friends, I am so lucky to have them in my life.
A lovely catch up, delicious food and our next lunch date booked for February.

Lovely 'warm' sunny day up in the Swiss mountains- so been planting the bulbs I didn't have time to plant before we went on holiday (we has snow then) and tidying up in the garden- and little 3 legged Minou was playing with me all the time, keeping me company- sweet.

you mean I should have scoffed the whole packet?tchwink

Shocking lack of will power roseswink

rosesarered Sat 10-Dec-16 15:10:19

a very little thing today [five mins ago] found and ate half a packet of chocolate buttons that was at the back of a drawer.tchsmile feel better already.

Flossieturner Sat 10-Dec-16 11:45:51

Not really a little thing for me, a very big thing. Having decided back in August that I can no longer cope with the garden, I called in a landacaper. Today they began on my new easy to maintain garden. It is more exciting than Christmas.

Love reading all these posts - all the little things that lighten your days smile

We have had a worrying few days with issues in the wider family and I haven't slept so well. I moved into a spare room and slept till 8 and feel so much better.

grannyactivist Sat 10-Dec-16 01:09:10

Having barely slept last night due to a worrying family situation I bumped into a friend in town this afternoon and we had a coffee and a catch up, which was really helpful. Then coming out of the coffee shop a taxi pulled up next to us and the handsome young man who was driving it leaped out and threw his arms around me. It was one of my foster sons!! I haven't seen him for a couple of months and in the meantime he's changed jobs and is doing really well for himself. It made a difficult day much brighter. tchsmile

Finding out that a condition I have can be managed (hopefully) without surgical intervention, and that I will get some normality back!

Hearing from a friend whom I haven't seen for a while, and arranging to meet up for coffee.

Playing with my dog on the beach and the sunshine was shining. It was mild, the tide was out and the dog was ecstatic to be playing ball in the sea.

Little things that I so appreciate having survived cancer.

seeing a friend's happiness when I found something she had believed to be lost, or to be honest thrown away in her absence.

Kittylester Mine has nearly gone as well, yes six nearly seven weeks. I can now do my U3A play reading and singing without much coughing.
