Clare_Bear's smiley happy thread

Bucket

Met my girlfriend's parents for the first time today, and her housemate who is also her best friend from home. Her parents and her best mate were all really nice, and she tells me they all liked me as well  Ah man, I don't like to say too much in case I jinx it all but we've been so, so happy together so far. Both of us have said we've never been happier with anyone we've been with. Long may it continue

@Nitefly Cheers! No intention of rushing things or changing anything, it all seems to be going great and we're really happy, so I guess we'll just keep doing what we're doing.

My car isn't fucked!

I was having issues with getting it started, turns out it was just the battery on its way out. Got it changed in five minutes by the RAC, 95 quid and I was on my way. And since its service it runs like a dream again. Still needs stuff doing to it, but nothing so urgent I can't drive it (touching wood). It's such a great car. Even with an unsympathetic baboon like me at the wheel.

I think it's about 2000 people.

Man has to know how to fix his own car.

That was so 2016.

Are you sure it was 2000, looks like there is space there.

I blame the FBI

I had my routine colonoscopy yesterday.

The results are no signs if Crohn's, with only minor inflammation, probably from the prep.

Haven't had a result like this in nearly 15 years of having Crohn's.

Thanks Col, I really think changing jobs and unfucking my head, and not being wound up and pissed off at work all the time has helped massively. Also, I'm not spending 2 hours a day in traffic, and the associated pollution, which has probably helped.

@mike_l - excellent news!

just realised the smell was coming from my fridge not the boiler & found a leftover onion thing i had forgotten about. woop!

Completed first aid course.

I'm now not able to say "not my problem" for 3 years.  And I didn't break any of the equipment, even after punching the resuscitation dolls when I was bored.

What started out as a jam night, pretty much ended up being a gig.

It was a lot of fun........

Oh dear. You do realise she's softening you up for something? New phone, iPad, pony?

Nice one!

We had the opposite on Thursday - we did our Van Duran gig, then there was supposed to be a half-hour blues jam but there was no guitarist or keyboardist so our singer went on keys and I stayed on the guitar ... and then it went on and on till after midnight

There was Me, Paul Mc, Noel and Mico(?) so we had acoustic/vocals (Paul), Guitar (me) Cajon (Noel) and Mico (?).

So we had acoustic/vocals (Paul), guitar (Me), cajon (Noel) and bongos (Mico), worked surprisingly well.

Oh, I know. The real question is in which order she wants them

My BMI is down to 24, and in a year I have dropped two trousers sizes.

All this while having a bacon sammich for breakfast most days.
