Little things that have made you happy today

Brilliant news Lona!

And Alie - whooppee!!

Shame about your dog GA, you must be bursting to tell!!

I've finished shopping - I hope! Though I'm sure I've forgotten something as it all fits in the inside fridge!

Icing the gingerbread biscuits that i have made for the grand children who are coming for tea tomorrow afternoon. Just hope they like them!!!!

We visited my niece this afternoon and then DD and GS turned up too, which was a lovely surprise. My niece is GS's honorary granny .

Singing carols in our local National Trust property this afternoon with our choir. Good audiences and lovely biscuits with our tea.

I went to Tesco this morning and all the staff were friendly and helpful

At my slimming club Christmas party I was given an award for being 'inspiring '.

Finding an old cross stitch Christmas card that was made by my late SIL. She was always sat with her cross stitch patterns. One to keep I think.

Feel very mellow- in fact pissed as a fart - couple of glasses of wine and duck breast and sweet potato purée with parsnip crisps and veg. Just about to dish up. Trying to see straight?!!!! Blimey got to go to M& Sto pick up order. Good job I'm not driving

^ ^ ^ My mind's eye picture of whitewave

Well how embarrassing???!!!!! dinner has soaked up some of the alcohol, still feeling very relaxed though. Must remember to keep only to my shopping list.

Good for you whitewave I love that feeling. My good news of the day is when shopping at Morrisons I found a parking bay quickly and near the doors.

My daughter got an early Christmas present, an engagement ring..she's been a single Mum for over 10yrs and I'm so pleased she'll have someone to share day to day life.

I would love that for my D tanith. Many happy years together for them.

Signs of a reconciliation between my 3 adult sons today, who fell out big time when my dh died in 2012. The signs are like the first glimpse of snowdrops in the spring,delicate, but definitely there.

It hasn't happened yet but our youngest son who we haven't seen in 7 months is home and on his way to stay a few days. I've just realised how much I've missed him. Just seeing him in the flesh will make my day and my Christmas.

Oh Falconbird that wins mine. It's fabulous news. I bet your heart is singing.

THANKS morethan2 it's all very tentative but the signs are there - good news about your son.

Walking around Cardiff Christmas market today, happy people shopping, finding that final present for a loved one. Christmas music not too loud either...

Bought whole load of choc bars for son (he has very restricted diet but can eat chocolate). Then had bright idea of putting them in a shoe box and wrapping them up
Can't wait for him to unwrap them and be surprised.! And he is 35 but still my little boy. Sometimes! !!

falcon and more than ,I'm happy for you both, great news.

I found a little message my GDs had left in my notebook when they were here the other day - Love you Nana xxx

Lovely ana. being a gran is such a privilege.

Waiting for Carols from Kings at 3pm today, the real start of Christmas..

Sitting in companionable silence in the conservatory with DH, catching up on GN, the only sound is the clock on the wall ticking!

Blimey! A butterfly just flew past the window!
