The success of the rant thread has been obvious for all to see. I thought, however, that for the less permanently grumpy amongst you us some form of balance was required. so here is somewhere to celebrate the things that make you smile, and give you a warm fuzzy feeling (apart from incontinence) my starter for ten: My eldest has been picked to play for his club in a six a side tournament at the mighty Luton town. A small thing in the general scheme, but he is made up and so am I!!
My youngest makes me smile. When we are at football, we always have to bring a chair, and Robbie sits in the chair, with my phone playing angry birds. The other day, I looked through the photos stored on the phone, and found some specials that Robbie had taken, made me smile.
My other half cracks me up with the things she comes out with sometimes. Example: Me: Darling, your big toenail is looking a little bit long at the moment. Her: Yes, it's so I can climb the walls when you make me mad. Hahahah! Good girl!
Telling a very nice young man on the phone that I was a pensioner - he had been wanting to speak to someone between 18 and 45 years of age. Also, telling another young man, that as I was a pensioner, I couldn't afford his lovely solar panels! Edit: just makes life easier and more real. I've done 'cold-calling' in my time and know what an awful job it is. Now I can refuse politely and we can part on good terms, plus I'm taken off their list!
My grand-daughter who is always pleased to see me and remembers the games we played the last time I visited.
Jen, I remember my wife answering the door to a random salesperson, and he asked her if her mummy was in!! I was in the front room and I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. I'm not sure the chap was quite prepared for the tirade that followed!!
Had a puncture the other day - got a dealer quote of £390 to replace the tyre.... Car's been mine for three weeks, and for the first time ever I took out tyre insurance
