Making you happy!

[bug123]

As an alternative to the grumpy question further down. It doesn't matter if I'm in a foul mood, if the weather is beautiful (like it has been today!), I instantly feel better and happier.

What little things makes you ABers happy?

I love long hot summers days (even tho they can be few and far between in this country) and taking the kids to the beach, where we stay till late, have some fish n' chips and we all roll home, sandy, tired and hopefully not sunburnt. Those are some of the best memories I'll have with my children and will always make me happy when I think about them.

Also, you cant beat a bit of retail therapy!

At my age, I am happy to wake up in the mornings! Actually, many things make me happy: playing with my puppy (who is now 5 and no longer a puppy!), coming to work because I love my job, meeting a friend for lunch, walking the State House grounds when everything is in bloom, digging in the garden and planting newly acquired bedding plants, hearing my son's voice on the phone say "love you, mom" before hanging up, feeling the sunshine on my back, sitting in traffic because I really enjoy driving my car, hearing an old song on the radio and remembering things associated with it ... Jeez! I could go on and on, but do you get the idea that it doesn't take much to make me happy?

the sun on my face and a warm breeze in my hair, coming on here after a long day at work and chatting to familiar people, a nice shower when I've just had a workout, a nice cold glass of coke and Green and Blacks chocolate.

[Agent_Smith]

green and blacks chocolate??

[helliebobs]

the organic stuff. it's a lovely colour Agent, you should try rubbing it on your belly!!

[bug123]

Green and Blacks chocoloate is mmmmmm!!

[helliebobs]

just had some of the caramel one bug - yummmmmmm!!

[bug123]

Oooooh...lovely!! although i'm not really fussy what flavour i have, the caramel one is particuarly delish!! :o)

[helliebobs]

the mint one is gorgeous, and the maya gold. And the white one. And... they're all pretty good actually!

[bug123]

Dammit helliebobs!! I have got the worst chocolate craving now! If you like quality chocolate which is particularly scrummy, you should try some from Hotel Chocolat. Honestly, its heaven in a box!!

(contemplates running out to garage for chocolate rations!) :o)

[bug123]

And I'm going to have give you lots of lovely stars now in recognition of your exceedingly good chocolate taste!!

[helliebobs]

i'm sending you a big bar through cyberspace!!

Are Hotel chocolate the ones where you subscribe and they send you big packages of choc on a monthly basis or something? I have heard of them, but can't remember what they do.

[bug123]

Ooooh...ta very much!! (this is good chocolate - not so many calories!) Yes, it is very sad but I am a member of the Chocolate Tasting Club. They send you out a taster box every month, but you don't have to receive them if you don't want to (at �15 a throw, they are a little on the pricey side). But they have a catalogue to let you choose from ranging from boxes to these huge slabs of chocolate! And now they are opening up Hotel Chocolat shops - I went into the one at Cambridge the other day and it was paradise!! Chocolate from ceiling to floor and from one end of the shop to the other!! :o) Wonder if they have any jobs going?

[helliebobs]

Thought that's what it was! I think I had a catalogue for them - drooled over every page but resisted joining!

The Green and Blacks hot chocolate is lovely too.

Hmm, maybe we should move this over to Food and Drink as we have slightly moved on from your original post!!!

[Agent_Smith]

wher can i get some of this chocolate............ if its good for you 2 im'e sure i will like it also!!

[helliebobs]

Agent, we meet again!

You can buy G&B at Sainsburys - not sure about Asda or Tesco.

have a look at www.greenandblacks.co.uk

It's quite different to stuff like Cadburys as it has a higher cocoa content.

[bug123]

Well, I suppose it has gone onto more of a foodie theme but then eating scrumptious chocloate makes me happy so its still kinda related to the original question.

Agent - you can find the tasty chocolate in Tesco, Sainsburys and Waitrose. Go buy some and join the chocolate lovin' club!!
