Noooo, libsue, I didn’t mean it like that?! I was wondering if I’d missed someone else with the initials CM who’d had an op! Come back! Tell us what made you happy today! Really, we could all do with a bit of something to make us happy.
Ok, thought of something. The weather’s very nice today. That’s a good thing.
Oops
Oh well okay then 
A visit from close friends who live 200 miles away made me happy today.
My tubs of pansies have smiley faces at last, they needed the sunshine and their happy faces made me happy.
Now this one’s sad, but finding some enthusiasm to tackle my mountain of ironing made me happy today even though the mountain is still there, but it’s a little lower! Maybe tomorrow I’ll knock the da*ned mountain down, then again, maybe not!
My dau who lives in the south (I’m in the north) rang and our conversation made me happy, she always has lotss of funny stories to tell.
Meeting up with a friend for lunch today made me smile. My life is nearly back to how it was before I was diagnosed 13 months ago and that makes me smile every day. Running my fingers through my hair makes me smile.
The Benchland panto is making me happy. The fact that I woke up today with stage fright about tonight’s virtual performance made me laugh out loud at myself!
Also, my daughter is coming for the weekend. She always makes me happy. (And she can come and see the panto tonight! :))
JCJ, your real nerves about a virtual panto definitely made me smile today, you daft old thing, you! But only a fellow benchlander can understand how you could be feeling nerves.
WMMHT is that I’ve been very productive and have almost finished mowing my garden. I won’t call it a lawn, it’s definitely more like a meadow. Just got to go and finish off, but wanted a break and a sit-down for a while. Oh well, nose back to the grindstone.
Today, i logged onto my Happy Bag site and saw I had passed the £1500 mark in just one month.
That made me very happy and smiley. Little old me, has raised all that for Cancer Research by making and selling my little Happy Bags.
Please do message me if you want to know more about them

That’s brilliant, pesteringpixie, well done!!
WMMHT well actually nothing yet but there’s still four and a half hours to go!!
WMMHT: Lord Voldemort has been vanquished, from one part of my life at least. It’s more relief than happiness, tbh, but worth noting.
I am so happy because I am arranging a fund raising event for Macmillan Cancer Support & The White House, Cancer Support Dudley and I am getting loads of support from people. My faith in human nature has definately been restored. Something else that made me happy (and it might make some of us cross if you have pets) is seeing my dog snuggled up on top of a clean pile of ironing. She looked sooooo cute!

WMMHT: I have reached a decision. I have decided that I really am not a good match for the job I started a couple of months ago, so I have written my letter of resignation and will post it tomorrow, and I feel SO much better for getting to what, for me, is the right conclusion.
I am cheating a bit because we have passed midnight but wmmht was seeing our two very new grandchildren for the first time. They were born on Saturday, entering this big world long before they should at 28wks 4days. They are so breathtakingly beautiful, tiny and perfect. I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

Congratulations Grandma Dawn! I hope the twins do well. It must have been a bit of a shock them arriving so early.
ChoccieMuffin - I must admit to being relieved on your behalf at your decision. I don’t know you personally, but from your posts I sensed the job was a strain on top of everything else, especially with the long commute. I hope you find something soon that IS a good match with less stress and hassle! I am glad you are happy with your decision. Good Luck.
WMMHT: OH asking if I want to go out for lunch tomorrow, as it is my last day off in term time (I sooo hope I’m not tempting fate here! 
). My phased return ends and I’m back to full time next week - (and ahem! then 6 weeks off for summer holiday)
I went to the park yesterday and there were 6 baby chicks huddled under their mother. All you could see were 6 little yellow bottoms sticking out. Soooo cute!

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and I had my breakfast, in my nightie, in the garden, reading Julie Walter’s Autiobiography on the first day of my holiday. Bliss.
Hi All
Hope you don’t mind me joining in. Sun is here :), and meeting a friend for a waddle round the country park and lunch 
then home for a potter in the garden and a bbq cooked by son enjoy your day as best you can xx
Smudge, join in any time you like, the more cause for smiles, the better.
WMMHT- breakfast in the garden… card from my son (unheard of!)… and, a year on, being able to pick currants and make jam without “thinking” about it (in terms of energy)…
WMMHT- MRI scan and CT scans show no progressions of the hip mets. They even show signs of healing! Hoorray!
Herceptin might resume next week!
And the sun is shinning.
WMMHT Car passed it’s MOT today, and while it was at the car clinic, I bought myself 2 pairs of jeans (on offer) in the size I’ve always taken - so a 2-fingered salute to Tamoxifen weight gain! (It’s clearly all around my middle and not in the jean department!)
