Little things that have made you happy today

Finished the Christmas decorations

Luckygirl's post of the Halleluia Chorus Flash mob performance on another thread.

DD has exchanged contracts on her house and got a completion date

I have been Christmas shopping with my eldest daughter. We had a lovely, chatty meal out, bought a few Christmassy things and, happily, she was willing to come home when I got tired and didn't moan too much!

Seeing DGS as a "star" in his school nativity today.

This! A first time mum with three of her five babies at the rare breeds centre in one of our local parks. We had a walk and stopped off there. DH has a soft spot for pigs!

Listening to my GS playing Für Elise on the piano today. He found playing the piano so helpful as a stress buster when doing his GCSEs

And also watching the video of this little chap:

A nice cup of coffee my husband brought me before he went to work.
Catching up on my paperwork.
Listening to Call Kaye on Radio Scotland.

That this morning I have cleared lots of little jobs that really needed doing. Very satisfying.

It must be old age! Things never used to take so long to go did they? Oh well, only another four weeks to go then.

Roses, I've just realised that my cough has improved after about 6 weeks. My sinuses on the other hand......

Having a hacking cough at the moment, got up early (5.30.... very early for me) had a cup of tea with honey,then sat and wrote all my Christmas cards.Like kitty I find it a chore, so am very pleased with myself now.

My granddaughter telling me about her new boyfriend and her plans for Uni, so good to feel part of her life even though we are so far away.

Well done to your son, Anno.

Alima, great news.

Isn't this a lively gentle thread. I posted the cards yesterday - find it a real chore so I'm glad it's done.

Today I heard that DS1 has been promoted in his job.

Alima great news

GS3 paid me his highest compliment 'Nana, you are silly!'

A letter and photo from the girl we sponsor in Nepal. The £100 a year it costs me pays for all her schooling, uniform and lunch. She is so grateful and her English is so much better than my Nepalese . It is the first time she has felt confident enough to write to us.

Not a little thing alima, brilliant.

Had the appointment with DH's oncologist today, the chemo has done its job, certainly not out of the woods, there's no chance of that, but it has given him time. A good day.

Ditto roses - out shopping with my DD and DGD, stopping for tea and cake in Debenhams. The most lush white chocokate and Turkish delight tray bake I have ever tasted

On Monday, lunch with 2 friends I have known for years but only meet up with a few times a year now due to distance. Talking and laughing about silly things just as we did when we were in our teens made me happy and smiley. Even the very bad journey home couldn't bring me down.
Also today receiving a Christmas card from someone who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and is now on the road to recovery.

Out Christmas shopping with DD this morning, and shopping done, sat chatting in comfy chairs in a coffee shop whilst slurping hot chocolate with whipped cream on.

Today - watching two of the children I childmind play together.
Most evenings - holding hands with my DH while we watch TV and chat about the day. That's bliss.

Lovely news and pretty name Menopaws!

Phew!! Ga.

DGS2, aged 4, was player of the week at his football training. He was so chuffed he could hardly speak!
