So I was going to do a thread about female competition inspired by a conversation with a beautiful soul... buuut I found out that I managed to get a suite in a top 5* London hotel with a 99% discount and that's far more lighthearted for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
So what things have brought you unexpected joy recently? Big or small, doesn't have to be particularly deep I'm just wanting to Tigger about in happiness. |

Oh, that's fantastic Meli! I love a bargain soooo much. I shall Tigger for you.
And in answer to your question, everything I buy is a bargain, 'cos I refuse to pay full price for anything! X |

Yay to the Tiggering! Tell me (so bossy!) something that's brought a smile to your lovely freckled face recently. Bargains are the best aren't they? |

I'm envious _eli.
Delighted for you but envious.
I guess my positive thing was my son made noodles yesterday for himself. He's 10 but he tends to ask permission for most things. He did a really good job.
It's small but made me happy |

"99% discount! Bloody hell,that’s a bargain _eli! How so cheap? "
Isn't it! A website was offering a very reduced stay if you managed to book at midday today and I managed to get it, no idea how. It's a top suite, not even a junior suite. For less than fish and chips. Bargain. |

Driving through Dorset last week I happened to pass the village of Tolpuddle, the home of the Tolpuddle Martyrs whose case helped establish workers rights in England. There is a fantastic small museum there with a shop and cafe too. A history lesson, gift buying and tea break in one. |

I burst out laughing when I pulled it out the oven
It was delightfully yummy and humorous to look at, much like my own foof. |

Oh that sounds well not lovely given the subject matter but definitely informative. You've inspired me to do some more reading on them. |

I was lacking in Tigger vim and vigour until I walked in the beautiful sunshine and took some photos of the autumn leaves just now. "
Being out in nature definitely helps lift the spirit doesn't it? Especially at this time of year. I hope your Tiggering vigour continues x |

It's adorable isn't it? Things don't have to be big to be positive, it's nice to appreciate and enjoy the little things. I hope your son's independence keeps growing. |

This is a bit of a backwards one but someone showed me his true colours today and after a 18 months of dilly dallying the mask finally slipped I can walk away with certainty, where before guilt/doubts filled my thoughts
Oh and as far as bargains go your's is a epic one |

I arranged a surprise play session for C on Friday and then we went to London and visited Le Boudoir last night.
It’s been a different kind of weekend, full on but lovely to be away together and tick off a few more things off our vanilla and not so vanilla life

"Yay for bargain hotel suites Melster Are you going to Londinium for an exciting reason?
Changes to travel restrictions brought a big smile to my face recently...doesn't take much to make me happy "
Melster! I like that. No exciting reason really, I've got a spa voucher to use at a fancy shchmany place so might book that at the same time. I couldn't resist paying 1% for a suite so that's reason enough.
It's fantastic the travel restrictions have eased, you'll be able to spend proper time with the old uncle at a wedding dancer now. |

That's a definite positive, it's not easy to do but once someone has shown you who they truly are, it's far easier. I'm glad he did and hope you can continue on happier.
And thank you, I'm so excited! |

Enjoy the hotel, Meli. Can you ask reception for an extra 40 keycards so we can all come and go?
I found a book I’d forgotten all about. I love my Kindle for its ability to carry hundreds of books and be lightweight, but turning the aged, discoloured pages of a favourite old book is a tactile delight. Even the fact you have to treat it gently so the cotton binding doesn’t get overstrained is a pleasure |

The turkey roast I put in the oven earlier smells like pure joy, H just got home from work and the smile that appeared when she got a nose full of it was worth all the joy in the world
Also… Leicester beating Saracens yesterday was not a total surprise but fucking joy.. such joy |
