    Watching the big cat who has just come in from the rain assiduously washing, or rather drying himself off... Now his sister has joined in....so there is now a great furry heap of cats ,,

    huhuhuhuhuhu
    a colleague sent me an image file today called DoubleEntryShots.jpg
    it's totally related to work, but I'm surprised that alarms haven't gone off in IT and my machine confiscated.

    The smile a little note of thanks gives.

    Mrs S sometimes knits little hats for premature babies, for use in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Dublin and Belfast. A 'wee note' came today with a photo of a baby wearing one of her hats. Nice thought and I'll benefit from the smile it brought.

    We should all make an effort to thank people. It so often is an intention that goes unfulfilled.

    There's this lovely new girl at work who compliments me every day, whether it's my hair or a skirt I'm wearing or my eyelashes or whatever. Today she told me my skin was fabulous and we girly-chatted about our favourite skincare products for about an hour.

    I was glowing leaving the office and it made me realise how much of a lovely, selfless and totally effortless thing it is to be that person that pays compliments to the people around them every chance they get. It's like injecting a little ray of sunshine into someone's day. I'm going to try to do that more :)

    Watching Game Night at the cinema this evening. It was very funny.

    Exactly 2 years ago I was cuddling my firstborn son for the first time in the birth centre after he became the best Easter egg ever! Happy birthday little dude :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Happy and relieved that when I steeled myself to call a garage re the car , the man was kindness itself and so helpful.

    Had got very complicated here on the island so am happy indeed.

    Happy i can thus rest today as I seem to be "bugged"... nasty! But snug now. Listening to occasional hail showers ..

    It just gets better...I'm on roll.
    Did Tax returns online Monday night just out of habit, as we had no addition medical or such to claim for 2017.
    This morning I'm informed that a refund of €2004 is on its way to the bank account.


    And found €40 in the pocket of a coat I put on this morning.

    Drinks are on me.

    ^^^ Happy about this

    A pint of the finest golden ale so please :3.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,619 ✭✭✭erica74


    The smell of fresh cut grass, and I say that as someone with chronic asthma and bad hay-fever. It just makes me so happy! However, the thought of cutting my own grass does not make me happy.

    Unexpected money is the best thing ever.

    Reminds me of two years ago when I decided to open one of those dreaded HMRC letters that had been sitting on the hall table for weeks on end. A cheque for £1200 was sitting inside it! Best feeling ever :pac:

    I still remember the moment I discovered that 7 months of my allowance was backdated to my bank account.

    Allowance? As in, an allowance from your parents?

    Disability allowance. I don't have any severe disability, but since I have ASD, I was able to get the DA.

    That pint was getting warm, so I had to drink it for you.

    Well, extra thanks to you.. Reminded me I can now email them so when I checked the account on the phone just now an extra payment is in that bears no resemblance to usual amount... ;)

    Having Gladys Knight and the Pips song midnight train to Georgia stuck in my head in work for the second day in a row. Singing it away to myself in my head and letting out the odd choo choo!

    came in to work to find an easter egg on my desk.

    I have 95 Lindt bunnies in the boot of my car to go on people's desks this evening.

    Asked my boss (joking) could I have a bottle of wine instead as I don't like chocolate and he told me to buy a bottle this evening and expense it :)
