Two things you are happy about today/

1. Although Morrisons was insanely busy, it wasn't as horrible as I expected. Other than the usual people in the way and no one saying excuse me, I was able to move around with relative ease.

This morning on the metro a guy ran into my bag and my bag ran into the guy. We both looked each other in the face and apologized profusely to each other. So refreshing!!!

1. My mum is coming today to visit me   
2. My dad is coming today to visit me   
I am so happy. Haven't seen them for a while.

Very refreshing, indeed! I don't know what is wrong with people these days. If I say I am sorry for being in someone's way or bumping into them, I get odd looks most of the time. I'd rather have a 'get the hell out of my way' than to have someone run into me without a word, or nearly knock me over to get through. At least a rude comment shows they are aware I exist. I'll still go on being polite though, since I was raised with some manners. 

1. Heat! (It's cold out there today!)

2. The quiet at my office! I'm REALLY taking the time to enjoy this peace as I know come the beginning of January, we will be SWAMPED with projects at work!

1. Dh & I never used to be able to have one of us going up & the other coming down at the same without one or both of us turning sideways on the stairs. I only just noticed it today that we both were on the stairs an neither of us turned sideways an we were able to get by each other with no problems Yeah!!  

2. Dh has today off so I went to the gym this morning I'm well knackered but now I can stay on the couch an try an stay warm an not have to go out this afternoon Yeah!!

3. I have an extra one Dh just made me a hot bottle so I will be nice & toasty warm when I get back under the blankets on the couch I have the Best Dh in the World!!   

1. I was one of ten projects published in The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook a few weeks ago, and my copy of the book and the dress I made last summer(!) for it arrived back to me today. This is the first time I've been properly published and I'm SO proud! It's such a good sewing book for beginners, and it's Random House, omg! (Mine's on page 128 if you find yourself in a brick & mortar store)

2. This is the first Monday in 10 weeks that I don't have to go to an evening class straight after work. Bliss!

Awesome news! 

1. Email received saying they are starting to process hubby's I-130. I am REALLY going to miss England, but at the same time I look forward to being back in the States. It is a shame we can't take the best of both and start a new country. 

2. I didn't have enough chicken Bisto and didn't want to go to the shop to get more, so I added a pack of chicken cup -a-soup. I just had a taste test and I think I might be on to something good. 

Congratulations, squirrely!!

Congrats Squirrely!!! That's amazing!!

1. I'm 29 yrs old and got carded to buy wine yesterday! (First time in a long time!)

2. My work is ok with me working from home again so I got another lie-in and am snuggled up in comfy sweats with my peppermint hot chocolate, "It's a Wonderful Life" in the background and my computer!

1. DH arrives today 

2. Had confirmation from HR about extending my contract until end of June.

Awesome news! 

Thanks!!  

1. I don't have to go back to my boring class until Jan 11. I know I should be happy about free education, but six weeks in and we haven't covered anything I didn't learn by the time I was 7! 

2. Enjoying the pine scent of the house, thanks to Yankee Candles. 

1. I bought a plane ticket to England last night  I am leaving in 2 weeks!!!!!

Hooray! Although I love the security of nearly 7 years (21st of this month) of marriage, at times I miss the breathless anticipation of flights across the Atlantic.  So glad you are able to spend the time (and NYE) with your boyfriend and his family. JOY!

Enjoy your DH, BostonDiner and Have fun jenny_ell

1.) Had a great band practice with a new band I'm playing bass in. Rock on! So much fun, I think we may actually be onto something.  

2.) Had a really nice time with my team today at lunch at the second of several Christmas meals    Though this one was in the canteen, so the most sober of the Christmas meals.
