Ten things of thankful #14

It's the weekend, so time for the Ten Things of Thankful!

1.  On Thursday I got to go to a lovely meal with a great group of people who I've been doing so with for well, when asked to figure it out by a newer member I'd not met before, longer than I care to remember!  (Alright alright, it's my Mensa group, I'm in Mensa, but it's not like that, really, we're pretty normal ;) ).  It was a lovely evening, brilliant Italian food, good company and chat, and I looked forward to the next few, a pub in Marchwood next month and a French restaurant in Cadnam for Christmas in December.

2.  Friday was netball day.  Yes it was still hard to make myself go at the end of a busy week (Considerer, about half an hour beforehand, answered in response to my statement "netball, urgh, can't it rain already?" with a very emphatic "NO".  And I'm glad I did make myself go.  Fun was had by all, we seem to be improving as a group, and it is the first session where I haven't felt absolutely dead by the end - I think the running must be helping the fitness!

3.  Today I've been to a lovely little craft fair in New Milton, about 45 minutes away, and it was lovely to see all the handmade goods, people are so clever!  My school friend had a stall and was selling her wares, and I bought a few things and have also ordered some more off her, so hopefully by the end of the day she'll have done a lot of business :).

4.  We have got our Christmas stock in at work!  I have treated myself to one thing, and bought something else for a few others, I really feel like the Christmas shopping is starting now and can't wait til the week I've booked off at the end of November to get it all finished and wrapped!

5.  When I went to netball on Friday, I did the most awesome parallel park - nuff said okay, so my sister can shut up, I CAN DRIVE!

6.  I'm going to an event next Saturday, and I managed to find a dress, yay, phew!  Always a nightmare!  Hope it fits and I like it when it arrives!  Photos of Considerer and I dressed up next weekend I'm sure :).

7.  I went food shopping today, it's been payday and was very necessary.  But not only did I get food, oh no!  I got most of the children on my Christmas list sorted, thanks to the Sainsburys half price toy sale!  Now just for the adults, why are they so much more difficult?

8.  I've been getting into my poetry side of writing and put a poem on my Facebook page, yay!  Will have to write some more, getting the writing bug properly now!

9.  I had a bit of a sort out of the lounge on Monday.  There were some pirate chests in the conservatory which had come from my Mum's house that I'd never really looked at properly, and it was nostalgia central going through them!  Old school reports, stuff from concerts, log books, really funny to go through and be reminded!  I managed to get rid of maybe half, and the other half I'm keeping for old times sake!

10.  I should be getting booked in for a nice spa day with my friend soon when I pick up the phone, so I'm looking forward to going for that!

Okay, you all know the deal by now, leave a comment and get over to Considerings with your own list.
