chesilbeach Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The fact that its a bank holiday so I don't have to go to work today! Nice! Nothing has particularly cheered me up today, but getting home after work was probably came closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lau_Lou Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 This is a lovely topic. Thought I would revive it. This happened six or seven years ago when I worked in Poundland (a shop that sells items for £1 each) over the Christmas period. One, extremely busy day a customer comes to my checkout and is wanting to buy some Christmas plates. She only has one so I tell her "you can get three for £1. Would you like me to get somebody to bring you some more?" She replies yes and so I ring for someone. Now she has been waiting a good ten minutes at this point and not once complained. I don't work in retail now but I have also worked in Primark in the past and she is one of the nicest, understanding customers I had. This Easter my brother (28) bought my sister (29) an Easter egg because she didn't have one Today: I bought some books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I got the part of Sonia in a production of Godspell today. Am chuffed to ribbons, because my favourite song in the whole show (Turn Back, O' Man) is MY song!!! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Several things - first and foremost the knowledge that it was Friday and the end of the week. Having a cuddle from one our clients was also nice, as was getting home to find an ice cream waiting for me in the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Going for a ten mile walk, followed by some fine ales. The second part may not have finished yet.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander the Great Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I was driving home, feeling sad, worrying about my goddaughter. She was born only yesterday and they've had to take her to neonatal care today. As I was driving home from my friends' house - about an hour's drive - I was listening to Epica as I always am. But then I felt like I needed different music, which never happens so usually means I'm really not okay mentally. So I put on Lacuna Coil, let my car randomly choose the songs - the first song I got was Heaven's a Lie, which is my first LC song and still my favourite (also the song that the singer from Epica has been featured on live sometimes). The second song was Purify, my second-favourite LC song. Basically, my car gave me my two Lacuna Coil comfort songs when I needed it most, and it brought a smile to my face.

shirley Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I find just driving home in the car makes me smile especially at this time of the year when you know you can go out into the garden, do a bit of watering, dead head some flowers, and just take in the amazing beauty of the flowers.

Today isn't over yet here, so instead I'll post what cheered me up yesterday: my boyfriend put together the second-to-last bookcase and I can now start re-organising my books .

chesilbeach Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Two very small things put a smile on my face yesterday. Talking to two colleagues at different ends of the country on the phone yesterday and one is from the north, and when he says goodbye, he says, "bye, chuck" which cheers me up every time. And, then talking to another colleague from London, who when he says goodbye, says "Bye ... bye, bye" just like the girl in Shaun of The Dead, which also makes me smile. It's the little things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I love those regional terms of endearment, I used to speak to a Scottish lady quite often who always called me "hen", and ,my friend's mum, who was also Scottish, used to call everyone "pet". Hard to believe some people find these terms offensive or sexist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's her birthday soon, so I'm treating her to some favourite books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
