The simple pleasures of life

[mrs_overall]

This morning I've enjoyed 3 simple pleasures:
1. That first cuppa before anyone else got up
2. Cleaning the fluff off the tumble drier filter
3. Blowing on the tummy of my neice's baby and listening to his giggles.
What simple pleasures does anyone else enjoy?

I love wrapping the boys up against the cold before we walk to school - there's something very basic and pleasing about maternal stuff like that.

Pity I don't do the same for myself though. I'm always under-dressed and freezing outside school!

well apart from the obvious I love a relaxing bath and my bloke brushing my hair after :-)

I love it when my cat sits on my knee and purrs for england, so long as she doesnt do the baking thing though i dont like that lol

I know what you mean with that one, nutgoneflake. Another thing I've always loved is the feel of a little hand in mine. I'm dreading the day when my youngest stops wanting to hold my hand. My middle child insists I walk 10 paces behind, in case anyone sees us together!!

Having a nice soak in the bath then going to bed with a cup of tea,bar of chocolate and a good book.I love that feeling of lying back knowing the children are safe in bed,it might be raining outside but everything is ok in your world :)
I count my blessings everyday.

Getting a particular riff sounding perfect on my gee-tar. It makes me go warm and wobbly and gives me an enormous sense of well-being.

Either that or a head massage.

Todays simple pleasures for me; on the PC huddled in the bedroom, by the only electric fire in an unheated house, while hubby and the plasterer work on the house with most doors and windows open. Having just been told that my landlord is releasing my full �1200 deposit money, finally, after nearly a month. Shopping on line for stuff for the new place.

never thought she would hear the words "sweet" and "legend" in the same sentence!
What an old softie he is!

1. A particular nice cuppa.......
2. Peace and quiet...............no TV, no radio, just me and the hum of my PC......
3. Answering the telephone and hearing "Hello, Mum........." and having a warm, friendly adult conversation with my son. When did he get so grown-up and so wise? ............I think I must have blinked :o(

Waking up when it's cold and horrible and realising it's a saturday and I can stay in bed.

Dragging my duvet in to the living room with a cup of tea because I've just realised that if I stay in bed I will miss James Martin on Saturday Kitchen.

Playing my music very loud and singing along.

Reading a book.

Laughing so hard it hurts.

You've just reminded me of another one China - playing loud music and dancing around the kitchen when I'm home alone.

I like doing the 'bum dance' to 'I like Big Butts' too... :c)

A couple of days ago I was having a mid morning bop to Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The look on the window cleaners face was priceless. I think he was torn between running away or calling for medical assistance for me!

i love it when its cold out side shutting all the curtains.fire on nice and warm ........my son gets out the bath and we lay on sofa watching a good film .....he 13 years old but loves hes cuddles which is great ;)

[sleepyj]

I love it when i say goodbye to my boys in the morning and they say 'love you' it always stays in my thoughts for the rest of the day.

I love it when my kids laugh with me about something silly i have done.

Going to bed with a good book and a nice quite house and checking on the boys all fast asleep and knowing they are safe.

[mrs_overall]

and another one......looking at the faces of my children when they are fast asleep in bed.

I adore sleeping children.

I think that's the only way they should be. ;0)
