Celebrate the Small Things: Fri 8th March

Greetings and celebratory salutations my friends, here we are again for another round of 'Celebrate The Small Things'.

The rules are quite simple. In fact they are not really rules. More guidelines. Full details here but in a nutshell: sign up on the linky, post your small things to celebrate, hop around blogs and celebrate with people: Woo! Yay! Go you! Etc. The celebrations can be anything you like: you tidied your sock drawer perhaps, or mastered the Rubix Cube.

My celebrations this week:

Finally kicking winter cold no. 452 which has been around for ages so starting to feel human.

Think we have found a plasterer to do our cupboard. Seriously, for some reason this has been difficult but hurrah! Somebody wants our business ;)

Dinner out (dimsum yum) with two friends, who have wee babies so it's not easy for us to get together.

How about you? What celebrations have you this week?

Here are all the celebrating participants:

  1. I've never tried dim sum, though I've thought about it.... maybe someday.
    Glad you got together with your friends! That's always so nice and needed, if even for a short time. :)

  7. OMG, winter cold #452? I'm sure it feels that way. How many tissues have you gone through? Less time wiping your nose means more time to write. :-)

  11. Congrats on defeating the cold! We've had illness floating around our house on and off for more than a month. My kids still have colds, but that's much better than they originally had.

    Dinner with friends is always reason to celebrate. Since I have kids, and my friends have kids too, it's very difficult to get together.

  20. Biggest achievement here is finding a plasterer! Years ago, when I wanted plumber to fit an outside tap, I managed to find one through word of mouth, but it was like contacting a spy. I wasn't allowed to have his phone number - I could only speak to him via a third party. He did a good job - and never sent me a bill.

  21. Glad to hear you're finally feeling better! Being sick stinks. I've had an unnatural run of no colds, and I'm bracing myself for when it finally ends.

    And good food with good company is always a reason to celebrate. I hope you're having a great weekend :)
