1.....my back has been so much better since my new pc/tv chair and xmas massage cushion on the sofa...I cant tell you how good it is to wake up and not be in pain...please let it last

2.....dogs cyst totally healed and hair grown back over..its on her side so hard to get dressings to stick!
"
3...still remember being advised on xmas turkey thread to "pick your fights with sons" and I am finding I am prepared a bit more and decide how I WON'T act in a potentially fraught situation..eg his weights and bench which when occasionally not put away, gets my goat as they say...I am zipping it ..and find we are getting on day to day in good spirits mostly

Well done Jeany, it's good to feel positive.

:) i went to the hairdresser this morning and my hair looks good.

:) just brought dog from the vet and he seems to be all clear of his allergies (continuing with expensive meds, so thank goodness for insurance!)

:) i have decided on my new flooring or my lounge, dining room and hall.

I love the maxi dresses in the shops. They remind me of the maxis I wore in the 60s or was it the 70s. I'd love one.

:) I can hear my daughter singing in the front room and it lifts my heart.

:) Visited my dad today while mam was at her day centre and we had a lovely chat all about our shared passion - gardening, and dad told me how to take a cutting from my Photinia Red Robin, and I can't wait to try it!

:D I have just eaten a Crunchie, yum yum!

:) Bill has been out with the carer all day and is still out! I'm presuming that apart from his visit to the dentist he is having fun!

:) I bought myself a new pair of prescription sun specs in Specsaver this morning. I'm hoping we'll see some sun in Italy but the forecast just now isn't looking too good.

:) I went to the spa where I'm a member and had a sauna and a swim.

:) I'd forgotten this thread and am glad to see it back, it will make me focus on good things!

:) I woke up to the howling gales in the night and worried about things at work, but sorted them all out when I got there!

:) I've been good food-wise today and even avoided my son's chocolate birthday cake.

PS I love the new maxi dresses too, I used to make them for myself in the 70's. Think I'll have to buy one too!

Went to the farm where I volunteer and had a cuddle with the new baby guinea pigs (aah:))

Picked loads of fresh herbs from the garden to go in the lunch time salad

Seeing the expression on my cats face when all the robins keep shouting at her. Think they must have a nest, but the noise while I was weeding was quite deafening.

And another - a dear friend has invited us to stay for the weekend soon, I am so looking forward to seeing her.

:) When I picked Bill up from the day centre we got in the car and I said 'home James'. Bill finished it off by saying '...and don't spare the horses!' I was really surprised he remembered the saying.

:) I had a swim and a sauna today and did half an hour hula hooping!

:) The lady at the day centre said Bill had been really good today.
