    Lot of negativity these days on boards and generally life can be grueling at times.


    But anything really brighten up your week or what made your day?

    Could be something simple or earth shattering.

    For me, was cleaning out the wardrobe, giving away some old clothes and jackets, found 50Euro in a pocket I had somehow completely forgotten about. This will be used for the Christmas madness at the weekend :)

    I've never found life grueling, even on the dole.

    I'm off all this week.
    Got back to the gym.
    My best mate who now lives abroad is coming home for Christmas tomorrow.
    I had a deadly hot chocolate today.

    So far so good :)

    Someone did some thing incredibly kind for me. I got very emotional because of it. The gesture took me completely by surprise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,394 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd

    a bro friend had moved into a dive of a flat after being made homeless without much warning a while back, his mother had been diagnosed with dementia and was placed in residential care around about the same time and all things given he's had a bit of a tough time of it so I wanted to make sure he had a christmas tree this year and picked up a few other bits to make his place a little more homely. A swift trip through pennys later and his gaff is now a fluffy cushion filled, curtain lined, sparkly christmassy tree coloured den. His little face, so happy.

    I've been really happy this week actually! Even though on paper things are not good and little has changed but I feel so much different. Someone did show me a nice kindness this week too, basically they gave me an appointment for free as a christmas present. Just the fact that someone showed me some compassion, it means so much more to me than the monetary value.

    I took a shot at goal that was going wide but it bounced off my Brother's head, who was on the opposing team, and went in. It was funny.

    Went to the pub for one pint at 10 as I won't have any now until the 25th (stupid work)

    Home now full as a monkey and had a great laugh. There's no one drink like an Irish one drink


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,747 ✭✭✭fleet_admiral


    I shouldn't have really been happy but a group of 70 didn't show up for a party in work on monday night. The pub brought in extra staff and spent a fortune on the food but I wss exhausted after a very busy weekend and was literally running on the reserve tank. I was secretly delighted

    Have all the Xmas presents got for my wife and kid. Work is busy but going well, managed to pick up some extra cash over the last few weeks so I'll have some extra spends over the Xmas holidays which is rare.

    Things are looking good for the new year as well, thankfully.

    The fact that the nasty cold I had all of last week is finally on its way out the door.

    My christmas decorations and baking (4 types of Germany christmas biscuits baked and stashed in tins, ready to be packed up as presents for friends)

    Looking forward to time off over christmas and sitting on the sofa, stuffed to the gills and slightly tipsy watching rubbish TV.
