Excitement at any age

Ring, ring, ring
Knock, knock, knock
By the time my legs start working
Gone, gone, gone!

Well done, Maisey. Great achievement and keeping fit...is that the doorbell?

Huge congratulations Maisey on publishing your book, you must be so proud. Hope it arrives soon! I'm the same age as you and just came second in a short story competition which will be included in a book and available on kindle. Exciting times!

Well done Maisey. I had my first book printed on our Family History this summer purely for family and ex-tended family but it is a fantastic feeling holding a book you have written yourself.

Watching England play rugby gets me excited and stressed all at once.

Well done Masie , I hope the postman comes soon! I love receiving parcels!

What an achievement, well done.

Congratulations Maisey. Fantastic achievement, no wonder you are excited.

How wonderful to have a book published! Congratulations Maisey! I used to get very excited when my Open University books arrived - our lovely postman could never understand why mere books arriving made me bounce up and down with joy! Obviously he wasn't a reader!

Well done, Maisey, and there's nothing like the feeling you get when your published book is finally in your hands. I remember I couldn't stop shaking!

At the moment I am awaiting the arrival of five sprouting acorns (thank you Countryfile) from a friend. It's our contribution to Plant Britain, and I can't wait to see them!

Heartiest congrats, Maisey. Well done! Yep, I'm another indulger in vicarious pleasure. The inner joy I have from the silliest of things is crazy but decidedly uplifting. Been floating on a new birth for the past few days now I've moved on to a family member's new kitchen. New telly being delivered on Wednesday - hey that's tomorrow now! - and I'm delighted. There aren't words to express my joy/ relief/ sense of achievement at completing assembly of the Ikea cabinet it's going to stand on. Wow! These are just a few of my recent 'floaters'. Guess I'm just the proverbial cock-eyed optimist. Can't imagine the pride in having a book published. Magic! Again...... SO well done, Maisey. ?.

Well done on writing your book and getting it published Maisie. I often used to think about writing out the stories I used to make up for DC when little. I should have done because I've forgotten them all now!

Well done for your story - someone once said we all have one in us, but only a few can really do it.

Years ago we were going to a function and I’d ordered a special dress. I can still remember the look on the postman’s face when I grabbed the box and shouted in a loud voice ‘Yes - Cinderella shall go to the ball!’ He must have thought I’d been at the home brew!

That's brilliant Maisey has it arrived yet? You must be very proud of your achievement.

Well done Maisey What a great achievement. ??

Echoing Namsnanny we need to hear about your book!
Congratulations!

Yes the same here!

How exciting Maisey Do tell us about your book

You made me laugh Maisey. Hope your book comes soon.
There us a race for the door every time deliveries come to our house: me, DH and a very fast dog!

Way to go. That's fantastic. No wonder you're excited.

I`m the same Maisey.
I live at the end of a cul-de sac so when i hear a diesel vehicle i rush up stairs to see if my order has arrived as i can`t see it from the downstairs windows.
On occations i shout yehhhhh., and run back down.

Many congratulations on getting your book published, I do hope the postie rings soon?
