A happy positive thread 😃

And on my beach walk today, the sun keeps giving through the fluffy clouds.

😃

I keep popping back to this thread just to hear every ones lovely moments and good news. Its a tonic!

Two friends turned up for a visit and to check how I was.
A lovely message from the sewing group hoping my recovery is going well.
A fall about laugh with DH in connection with the blood thinning injections he has been doing for me.
Managed to walk around the house without crutches , a bit wobbly but progress.
A Good Day. !

A lovely afternoon spent with 3 grandchildren. Wondrous Wolfie is 5 today.

We have finished putting the kitchen back together so the dining room looks presentable after having all the kitchen contents stored there.

And we are having a pizza delivered any time now!

Babysitting our youngest granddaughter, overnight. Her chubby legs, gurgles and smiles always cheer me up

My oldest son is autistic and went to a special school. He is unable to do paid work but does supported voluntary unpaid work. The DWP thought otherwise, however, and expected him to have regular appointments and look for work. With help, he ended up having to go to a tribunal, which was very stressful as can be imagined. Thankfully, this week he won the tribunal.

Lizzy, thank you. The post did upset me.

My two neighbours and I do this all the time. It is not always chocolate, sometimes it is magazines, they have finished reading. On a few occasions, its been trout from the local dam.
If I make tablet or chocolate macaroon bars, I always post a bag through their letter box.
It is just they way they are.
My neighbour realised my car hadn't moved for weeks, so realised I must be unwell.

😃

Had lovely cuddle with 6yr Gs he is a very good cuddler.
Have managed quite as lot of jobs with very little pain😆
Started C shopping.

Marydoll I doubt if anyone else thought you were playing one-upmanship. It didn't come across like that to me. No-one has given me any chocolate at all so I'm glad for both you and Aveline! I have bought myself some though! 😆

Today I went to my craft group and 10 other ladies turned up. We had a very happy time making Christmas gonks and eating cake - it was someone's birthday and she'd make a gorgeous fresh cream cake.

Brilliant fantastic positive posts ....
Love them all .... each and every single 1.... ( Turkish delight chocolate 😋 )

If I am quiet from tomorrow onwards, I haven't 'jumped ship' .... we are going Plymouth till Monday ......

Enjoy each special moment, whatever it is, i will be with everyone in thought .... 😊

Positivity = A contented, happy soul ..
😊😊😊😊

Aveline, you have totally misunderstood my post.
I haven't been out of the house in weeks (no treats in the house) and although Galaxy Gold wouldn't have been my first choice (I would rather have the Lindt), I was grateful that someone showed me some kindness. That is what I meant by any port in a storm.

Why one earth would I want to be one up? That is quite a strange and inappropriate comment on this lovely, positive thread.

To elaborate, it is quite common for my lovely neighbours and myself to pop a treat through the letterbox.

I thought it was very kind if your friend, just as I thought my neighbour was kind.

Aveline

Got to be one up Marydoll well as least you spoilt my pleasure.

What is that meant to mean???

Got to be one up Marydoll well as least you spoilt my pleasure.

I agree there so much doom and gloom in this world and not much positivity reported. There is a website that only shows positive news www.positive.news/ which is so refreshing with articles that certainly lifts your spirit.

Aveline

Sorry I only got one bar of chocolate but at least it was Lindt

Mine was three Turkish Delight bars and one Galaxy Gold.
I'm not proud, any port in a storm!!! [wink}

Sorry I only got one bar of chocolate but at least it was Lindt

and thought I must be unwell again.

My neighbour came across and handed in two bars of chocolate for me. 🥰
She noticed I hadn't been about.

A lovely thing happened to me today. In a phone call earlier this week I'd told my friend I was apprehensive about forthcoming cataract op and another procedure due. Today a package arrived in the post from her - a Christmas decoration and a bar of good chocolate. To give me something to look forward to and treat to help me relax. What a good friend she is. I'm very lucky.

I usually use Bluetooth to listen to playlists from my phone but I have a new phone and I haven't sorted the music yet. For some reason, my car radio has 'defaulted' to Radio 3, which I wouldn't have chosen, and I'm enjoying it, mostly. I'm not keen on the odd bit of jazz they play but mornings are usually pretty lively. On my way home this morning, they played the rondo from Beethoven's 4th piano concerto. It was totally brilliant, exciting and uplifting. It was almost dangerous to be driving! I haven't quite come down from it yet but I'm safely at home! 😂

The sun is shining and my laundry is drying outside.

As I did my hair this morning near an upstairs window a little girl of about two spotted me and waved at me merrily as she trotted along the pavement behind her mum - how adorable! ❤️
