    Clean sheets, such a simple thing, it makes me happy.

    Buying a new T shirt and putting it on for the first time

    A cool feeling and very soft

    The mammy is able to get cotton T shirts to be like this after a wash. I'm clearly a fool as mine never ever get back to the lovely state they were in when I bought them. Bought fabric softener but it made no difference, I'm doing something wrong :(

    A cup of tea and a good book
    A clean house smelling faintly of Nag Champa inscence
    Cooking or baking something nice and then enjoying digging in
    A purring cat beside me when I fall asleep
    Usually followed by the cat being shifted to the bottom of the bed and my husband snuggling up when he comes to bed later


    Reading through this, I realise I'm utterly boring. But what the hell, I enjoy it.

    Getting upgraded in a hotel. It seldom happens, but the last time I was staying away, for work, I was given a suite. It was a quiet night in the hotel, I know, and I stay regularly enough, but I was SO pleased.

    When you try on something new, and are happy with the fit and look. Lost a bit of weight lately, bought a new dress today, happy!

    When you're knackered but you'd already made plans with someone and then that someone cancels

    Just scrubbed the downstairs bathroom and its shining like a surgical theatre.

    Smells lovely too :)

    Homemade burgers made by d'mammy. Can't be beat.
    Also: Logging into FB and finding, through a mutual friend's status update, that your ex has gone bald.
    I can't stop laughing. He looks like a potato! :D

    Same thing happened to my ex-husband. I had not seen him for several years until he tried to friend me on Facebook. He had gone bald and I laughed my ass off for days.

    The feeling you get after a long, intense run :) and celebrating your achievement with cocktails in the sun!

    Settling back with a nice cup of tea, and watching something light and entertaining on tv.

    A freezer full of coolpops.

    Whacking great big bunch of mixed blooms bought on the street on the way home for lunch. Just looking at them makes me happy.

    Lime daiquiri in the fridge waiting for me after my walk in the sun....

    My new silk shawl. ...it may look ridiculous to some but it gives me lots of the happies wearing it. ..

    When I discover that one of my favourite authors has a new book out, and it's almost the weekend, a winning combination.

    When I see somebody fall/trip in a public place :pac:

    I have a rooster called Wharrgarbl, the dumbest animal ever to exist, just knowing that the gob$hite is outside pecking at his own shadow pleases me.

    Hearing kids outside playing and laughing.
    Waking up feeling sleepy and he hands me a cup of tea.
    When the microwave popcorn pops all the kernels and doesn't burn.
    Morning cuddles.
    Submitting everything at the end of college with the happy realisation that you are finished!
    When everything in the house is sitting exactly the way I like it to sit.
    Getting dressed up for a big event!

    Tescos. You gotta pop them in the freezer first though. Very sweet.

    A big bunch of anything yellow and purple with some green and it's like a visual happiness cue, the sight version of the smell of bread baking or coffee brewing.
