You know you're getting old when you're excited by...

An order of some new nighties arrived, I couldn't wait for bedtime.

Agree Daffydilly you can’t beat comfy shoes.

I got excited this week when I finally worked out how to work the latch hook in the latch hook kit I’ve had for 2 weeks. I can’t follow diagrammatic instructions so resorted to Google where a very nice lady showed me how. Easy when you finally ‘get’ it. Rather embarrassing as I think its meant for children, but no matter it’s now keeping me occupied ?

Waiting for the delivery of a new set of M&S saucepans, all my old ones are quite large from the days when our family meals required cooking for 7-9 people!
Now there's only the two of us, a set of pans where the Largest ones diameter is only 8inches, and all have measuring gauges in both imperial and metric engraved into the Stainless steel insides will do me just fine!

... the winter fuel allowance.

Lifted not listed!

We had a new dishwasher delivered a couple of weeks ago, having waited ages to get the one we wanted, it worked once and packed up, and they can’t come out to fix it until Covid restrictions are listed.

Our rather elderly dishwasher finally gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago! ? It wasn't easy to arrange in these current difficult times, but we have a new one being delivered on 19th February. We have had to arrange for the installation of it separately, as Currys have suspended their installation service during the pandemic! ?
I really cannot wait for it to arrive! My husband thinks I'm bonkers getting excited about a machine!?. However, I do a lot of cooking - always have done - and being something of a neat-freak, I hate having my kitchen surfaces cluttered with lots of dirty dishes, so for me the dishwasher is a godsend! ?

Another thing that excites me is a delivery of logs

I’ve been excited today by having a drive out to the local tip! I’ve had stuff that needed to go for eleven months and finally loaded up the car and took it. Although social distancing was in place the guys there were very helpful and we had a laugh. It was great to have a chat with someone new!!

Well, you have to get rid of the rats somehow. Probably, Peasblossom would not be using poison if she knew anyone who had a terrier.

Lockdown makes it difficult to borrow a dog or cat that will happily spend the day ratting. and setting and emptying snap traps can be difficult.

It seems unkind to criticize a person's choice of poison when we don't know what other options she had.

the prospect of buying a hot composter!

Any deliveries - from a drill bit my DH has ordered to a pair of sale trousers for me and anything in between.

What a disappointment finding the wrong person died ?

I got excited about my “Flash Power Mop” arriving ordered from Wilko.

I hasten to say that lm so busy doing nothing I haven’t used it yet.

I do Family history, today I was excited by a death certificate!!

I am also researching my Family History and know that feeling. Hope it was the right one. Last one I ordered I thought was the missing piece of the puzzle but alas it was the wrong person.

A new set of Lego coming through the post. I can enjoy myself for hours, very therapeutic.

I was excited to buy a glass jelly mould for 50p from a car boot sale, pre lockdown, and couldn’t wait to use it.

But disappointing when I did though, as the jelly stuck a bit.

That last one was meant for Sillynanny123

I too get excited about my grocery delivery. I live alone and the only person I actually see or speak to is my daily help.

How lovely of him?

I get excited about our weekly grocery delivery. Someone different to talk to at last, even if only for a minute or two. And they're always so cheerful, even in the worst weather.

Lol I’ve got a delivery of new bras coming tomorrow! Not that I haven’t got others but u know what it’s like when all of a sudden u think I need some more! Very exciting!! Not much else to get excited about at the moment lol ? x

We now get excited about our weekly food shopping excursion and I loved my new cordless vacuum cleaner which arrived last months and replaced our Dyson. DH got excited yesterday when his new model arrived, he has completed a model steam train and is now starting on a classic car. We used to get excited about planning our holidays but that is some way ahead.
