Little things that have made you happy today

Congratulations Menopaws

Indeed not a 'little thing' GA phew!

Hope he doesn't tell too many people his version

The birth of my second grandchild, willow elizabeth

Not really a 'little thing' at all, but I am so happy the 'epipen' was invented. Yesterday my grandson (aged 3) accidentally ate a poppy seed cracker that had sesame seeds in and within minutes went into anaphylactic shock. Happily the epipen worked and after a quick trip to hospital he was right as rain.

He phoned me to tell me his version of events: 'Granny my daddy stabbed me in the leg so I had to go hospital in the ambulance!' Bet that went down well with the safeguarding co-ordinator at school today.

My beauty of a grandaughter arrived from Canada for a whole month......she called me gan gan as I only saw her 8 weeks ago.....at 18 months old I am thrilled

Clearing out my wardrobe and throwing out/recycling all my size 18-20 clothes that are now too big . My wardrobe looks very empty now - great excuse to buy new clothes!
Seeing the pleasure on my DD's face as she finished a knitted scarf with a pompon at each end for her DD - she is, in her own words, "the most uncreative person on the planet", so this was a real achievement for her.

On the last what makes you happy thread I said I'd fired up my kindle. Well I've now read my first book on it. It was really easy and nice and light to hold. I'm a convert

Some lovely posts that made me smile. It's not the big things is it? These are far and few, but the little day to day pleasant moments that mean so much.

A lovely thread.

GS3 (6) goes to a circus skills class every Tuesday night. Today his group put on a presentation. He's actually quite good, but more than that it came across how much he loves it and how proud he was to show us what he could do [proud nana emoticon]

My son giving me a convivial lift home after a spat at the weekend. He is so stressed at the moment

Emilie we can but hope They closed the branch in our town, even though it was the last Bank. We have to go 8 miles to a larger town for the privilege.

I went to a Christmas lunch for our National Trust volunteers today and spent the time with my really lovely volunteer friends. Nice day.

Remembering the hyacinths put In a dark cupboard with more hope than expectation and finding wonderful green shoots. All without me. Aren't they great?

Going to the dress rehearsal of GD's Nativity play followed by taking GS2and GD shopping for their siblings and parents for Christmas. An absolute joy.

EllenT. Would be very interested to know more about the Edinburgh gransnet with a view to waiting for a vacancy. Help, please?

After a good few years met up with a friend who is in residential care and suffering from dementia as well as other impairments. AND.......she recognised me. Such joy!

Had a long chat on the phone with an ex-colleague I haven't seen for ages. Arranged for her and her DH to come to lunch!

Met up with a friend for lunch today

Getting lots of hugs from the people who have been attending the Living Well With Dementia course as it was the last one today - and they liked the cake!!

Meeting up for a pre-Christmas meal with retired colleagues. We still all get on well together just as we did when working.

Pigglywiggly,your Natwest will probably close soon.End of music!

Phone call from my sister-in-law, which rarely happens.

gillyknits, I was going to ask where you did that, but now I know, is it the festive reads page?

Well done both! I love books, must go and have a look.

Finding a pendant I thought I had lost in my coat pocket. So happy that I have found it as it has sentimental value.

Me too gillyknits! Exciting. I'd forgotten all about it. Can't wait to see the books.
