Reasons To Be Cheerful

CheerLouth · 04-03-2022 10:55am

Elf 2 is 5 at the weekend (que internal sobbing about where my baby has gone 😅) and is having his first ever birthday party with his buddies - his excitement is just the best 😍

I hope he has a great party CL.

Elf3 is turning 3 in a couple of weeks. She is definitely not a baby anymore. The time just seems to fly by so quickly :(

Loughc · 04-03-2022 3:07pm

I've seen a phase "the days are long but the years are short when you have kids", reading the last 2 posts that rings true!

Posy · 04-03-2022 3:09pm

Good expression!

CL and TRS must be very jealous of the sleepless nights and nappy changes in the Loughc household right now. 😁

CheerLouth · 04-03-2022 3:53pm

It is so true @Loughc! I love the baby stage but seeing them turn into their own little person & have a conversation with them is just magic!

Our two turned 11 in January!! I can categorically state that it felt less than half that. I like to think its because they brought so much love & fun with them when they arrived and its fuelled us into overdrive ever since!!

TRS30 · 04-03-2022 7:02pm

Like that expression @Loughc, is so true. Some days seems to last for ever and the year is gone in the blink of an eye!

What a day, glad to turn the PC off and relax into the weekend.

Have a good one guys and hope you get out to enjoy the good weather.

Littlehorny · 05-03-2022 2:12pm

What a glorious day! There is real heat in the sun today. Hope we have this for Paddy's weekend.

DvB · 11-03-2022 6:06pm

Another working week done, and a short week to come next week too before a nice 4 day break... hoep everyone has a nice weekend.

May even crack open a Guinness or 2 over the weekend with Paddy FM on in the background for good measure!!

Looking forward to the new tournament next week too!!

DvB · 12-03-2022 8:36am

Woke up in great form, out early, down to dunnes for the weekly grocery shop, arrive at 7.30 to see they've changed the opening hours from 7.30am to 8.00am....a 30 minute wait I could have had in bed instead 😟

Still a good reason to be cheerful @DvB, up and at it in good form is great, especially at the weekend.

I on the other hand must have needed it because I went into a really deep sleep and only woke at 10:30 this morning, woke up in good form also and it's an absolutely beautiful morning here.

DvB · 27-04-2022 9:32am

Glorious morning out there now.

Although I'm in the office its nice to be able to sit beside an open window for a change and not feel a cool draught.

Its also hump day & for us in here, payday too! Bank holiday w/e to come so looking at the positives to alleviate the work stress where possible!

TRS30 · 27-04-2022 10:27am

I feel you!

Sun shining, sitting in my kitchen with door open and is actually warm, shorts are on!

Not quite payday yet however will be before the long weekend so all good on that front.

Have a great day all.

Posy · 27-04-2022 1:44pm

My payday was Saturday, so I'm already hanging out for next month. 😂😂

Nothing like being an adult with responsibilities and being 'rich' for a couple of days each month 😂

tscul32 · 27-04-2022 4:32pm

I think you mistyped there and "days" should read "minutes"

Posy · 28-04-2022 2:26pm

'The money is just resting in my account.' 😂

I kept telling myself I have no money in my account so I can't get scammed 😂

TRS30 · 29-04-2022 11:12am

A sunny Friday morning of a long weekend has put a 'pep in my step' :)

Started early so going to try and finish up early and make the most of the sun/long weekend. Have a few things on however will be nice to catch up with some extended family and also have some family time with the kids.

Hope everyone has a good one.

CheerLouth · 29-04-2022 11:27am

This time tomorrow, myself & Mr. CL will be en route to a hotel WITHOUT the children 🎉🎉🎉 It's been almost two years since we had a night away on our own & I am so ready for it! I love being Mammy but man, do I need a break! I don't know what I'm more excited about...the prospect of a full nights sleep or a hot dinner 😃

DvB · 08-05-2022 1:19pm

what a fabulous day out there today... such a shame i've to sit at my desk at home working whilst I listen to the kids playing outside. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up in an hour or so & get to go out & enjoy it.

Hard to believe we're just a month away from reaching the 100's in the countdown... only seems like a couple of weeks ago I was sat here working in January looking out at the cold dark skies!!

BK5 · 08-05-2022 9:32pm

A fabulous day it was, same as yourself I was in work till just after 3pm today but got home, showered and had a lovely afternoon/evening.

The year is just whizzing past alright.

TRS30 · 09-05-2022 7:38am

Sorry to hear you guys had to work yesterday. Nicest day in ages out our way. Got to get outside for a lot of it which was nice.

CheerLouth · 11-05-2022 9:46am

Today is my Friday 😀 Roll on 5pm this evening & I'm out of here until next Tuesday! I'm so ready for it 🤩

Lucky you CL.... I've 2 more 12 hour work days to get through, though am looking forward to the weekend as its our 12th wedding anniversary so will be having a few beverages & a nice dinner to celebrate!!

TRS30 · 11-05-2022 10:40am

Nice CL, enjoy the time off.

Think I need to take a Fri/Mon off with nothing planned. I only ever seem to take time off these days if something needs doing and never really get to enjoy the time off.

Yikes, that's a long working week :(

But a very Happy Anniversary to you both!

BK5 · 11-05-2022 10:19pm

Happy Anniversary DvB , we are going to our nephews Communion on Saturday. A real family get together will be had.

TRS30 · 13-05-2022 3:45pm

Going to try and finish up soon and get out in the sunshine for a bit.

Have a great weekend guys and @DvB- happy anniversary, enjoy the downtime and a few treats!

Posy · 13-05-2022 7:50pm

Thank heavens that work week is over!! 😁

CheerLouth · 20-05-2022 3:30pm

It's Friday 🤩

And I've just found out that I'm going to be an Auntie again ❤️

Jingle bells!!

Aisling(",) · 23-05-2022 8:33am

It was my nephews communion on Saturday. One of the family said to him that he was practicing for his wedding because he was wearing a suit jacket. He told them very happily and confidently that he wasn't getting married and would be a lonely old man.

I'm still smiling at it.

Love the innocent of kids!

TRS30 · 27-05-2022 5:25pm

Laptop about to go off for the weekend. Sun is shining and good weather planned for the weekend.

Have a great weekend folks :)

Jude13 · 24-06-2022 7:54am

It's Friday and I have a minimal amount of work this weekend!

DvB · 24-06-2022 8:39am

Its Friday, have the big Dublin derby to look forward to this evening & we only have one GAA game this weekend & its the last one for 7 weeks... so we have our weekends back until the kids go back to school!!

Might get some meaningful exercise in now!

TRS30 · 24-06-2022 9:39am

Nice one, enjoy the downtime.

Loughc · 28-06-2022 9:01pm

We are over half way to Christmas!!!!

DvB · 01-07-2022 11:57am

So glad its Friday, WFH the last 2 days as i'm isolating and the amount of telephone calls & zoom/teams meetings has been unfortunate to say the least, I now sound like I've been gargling gravel between calls I'm that croaky... looking forward to logging off ASAP & getting some downtime...

Will 100% be watching the last 2 stranger things episodes this weekend too.... we've been watching that 'Crime' series on RTE also and with all the episodes available on player will hopefully see them too... this isolating lark may not be as bad as first time around!!

TRS30 · 01-07-2022 5:01pm

Laptop going off. Going to have a well earned beer and hopefully if weather is anyway decent over the weekend have a BBQ.

@DvB- take it easy and hopefully you'll be over the worst it come next week.

Have a great weekend folks.

Loughc · 01-07-2022 8:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119275381#Comment_119275381

Watching the last two episodes of stranger things this weekend too.

This season has been so good!! Movie quality from the first episode to the last.

DvB · 01-07-2022 9:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119277813#Comment_119277813

Back to its season 1 best imo.

Posy · 01-07-2022 9:58pm

Someone in work only just said that today!

I never got around to season 3, so I'll have to watch both seasons together in the next while. Something to look forward to. 🙂

DvB · 02-07-2022 10:14am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119278058#Comment_119278058

This season, despite having much longer episode times has been superb, we've all loved it and have set aside tonight to watch the last 2 back to back.

Loughc · 03-07-2022 10:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119279521#Comment_119279521

I haven’t been this gripped by a tv show in a very long time. I honestly cannot rate it highly enough.

DvB · 03-07-2022 10:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119286606#Comment_119286606

Great final episode too! Promise no spoilers though.

Jude13 · 04-07-2022 6:46am

We have this Friday and the following Monday off for Eid!
