Cancer joy has got me thinking and only so many self-depreciating posts can be funny before it gets dull.
So from now on I shall celebrate all that is good about me and my life.


What's the best thing about your life?

Vipros can start : )


Edit - I can run up a hill. How amazing is that.

The best thing about my life
is that I enjoy it. I have a nice house in a nice area, sexy missus and an extremely cute (if I do say so myself) little boy.

On top of that I have a job that pays ok (could be better but pays the mortgage etc), good friends close by, and little debt.

I have great friends, cracking workmates (although the inevitable knobs as wekk), a house with my best mate, and I'm going to become an uncle for the 3rd time in May.

I don't have much money,
there's no Mrs Thunderwolf, and my job could best be described as "average", but my life is as stress-free as possible, I have some great friends, and the sea's 15 feet from my front door, with a beach 3 minutes walk away. Not much use in this weather, but still...

( girlinthehole, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 13:57, Reply)

Tis a little bit of Cornish sea
almost as far south-west as you can get.
It does have its occasional downsides. I sometimes open my front door to a lake instead of a road, and seagulls think 5am is a good time for screeching practice, but other than that...
(Paolo Nutini's Bikini Better than Frederick Fleet's optometrist, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 13:59, Reply)

that's the dream
I had a week in Sennen at the beginning of September. House we were staying in was as yours, 15ft from the sea and a couple of minutes from the beach.

Fortunately free of seagulls!

and if it weren't for the constant nagging thought that I should have a Career rather than a job I'd never want to leave.

(Paolo Nutini's Bikini Better than Frederick Fleet's optometrist, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 14:27, Reply)

I'd love to move to the Cornish coast, but I'd have to go and work in my company's Bodmin office, which I don't fancy. plus all my friends live in Exeter...

...but at least its not weight-gain! :D
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 21 Oct 2009, 14:27, Reply)

this is true
I have a host of nice nearly new clothes that I can't wear now though. It's weird, I've lost a fair amount, but not that much and yet it seems that things I was happily wearing a year ago are now much too long as well as wide and that the arms are way too long....
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 14:30, Reply)

That's quite strange that the arms are longer??
I haven’t changed size that much since I was about 18 so I have to cull my wardrobe every now and then or it gets too big. My feet seem to have shrunk from a 5 to a 4 though, which is odd!?
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 21 Oct 2009, 14:41, Reply)

I first noticed it when I went to try on my cream suit in advance of a wedding earlier this year
the jacket was too big in every direction.

Did mean I got to buy my awesome grey one, so I wasn't too bothered, but still, it is weird.

Shrinking feet is pretty odd too. has someone been binding them while you are asleep?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 15:08, Reply)

My feet have got smaller since losing weight.
But thinner rather than shorter. I can sometimes fit into a smaller size shoe depending on the style.
( girlinthehole, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 15:13, Reply)

That's rather strange
I wouldn't have thought you could lose weight on your feet of all things!?!

I'm liked and appreciated here.
At least, I think so. My friend took me aside a few nights ago and told me, several times. I'm going to try and be more confident.

I had an odd experience on 4chan last night. To say the least, I LOVE long fingers now.

I think apprecitation is a very hard thing to get your head around.
I had a similar realisation once. It's something I'm trying to work on.
I'm sure you like and appreciate your friends but it's hard to tell them as much. I'm sure they all feel pretty much the same about you as you do about them.
I'm not preaching or anything. Just saying.
(Paolo Nutini's Bikini Better than Frederick Fleet's optometrist, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 14:32, Reply)

It's odd
I don't think I'm one to make friends easily. But I've settled in well, I have friends on my course and in my building (mainly through me smoking like a chimney) but I'm yet to find "luuurve". Ah well. Time will tell :)

I had a fair old go, if I remember rightly
I was pursued (almost scarily) by an absolutely STUNNING Indian girl but was a bit overwhelmed by it and bottled it. One of my life's biggest mistakes I think...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 21 Oct 2009, 17:14, Reply)

I'm always suspicious of people who make friends easily.
They always seem deperate to please.
I don't actually remember when I met any of my best friends. They started out as people in the background, then became acquaintances, then, at some point, became friends.
Which sounds a bit weird, now I come to think about it.

Quite unexpectedly
I have a fiancé. Five months ago I was convinced that would never be something I wanted. But, as some of you know, Catface and I have been through a hell of a lot in a short space of time. If we can survive that and come out the other side closer than ever then marriage seems a perfectly normal and rational thing to do. Well, by our standards.

He'll make a good first husband. I can always trade him in for a younger model at some point.
