In an attempt to balance the mood on the forum, I thought I'd start a more cheery topic. And also, the government is apparently going to start surveying us to find out how happy we are.

So, what makes you happy? It can be as major or trivial as you like.

I'll start with something trivial.

I am very happy when I wake up and think it's probably about time to get up and then I look at the clock and find I still have two more hours left before the alarm goes off.

Watching Misfits.

See, that annoys me because I know I'll never get back to sleep

It may sound trite, but my kids make me happy (even when I feel like selling them on Ebay!). Abbi is 7 today and watching her face as she opened the Baby Born doll was an absolute joy.

Nice idea, and definitely agree with the alarm clock.

My bedroom being tidy and everything in it being organised makes me happy. It happens quite infrequently, but when it does, I get this wonderful feeling of orderliness.

Every moment I spend with Heather. (I'm better at being a soppy romantic than at being bitchy, it seems.)

I think the idea of this thread was not to make any reference to that whole debacle, you plonker.

My best friend.
Some music.
Some dance.

I was talking about being happy not pleasuring yourself Rhys!

F1
Countdown.

Getting home after walking in the rain, changing into dry clothes and having a cup of tea.

Coincidentally, what I'm in the middle of doing right now.

This made me happy. Like

Poker. Watching and playing. It's basically all I do. I'm absolutely shit as well, it's kind of tragic. Punching kittens. Anti-depressants. H8ing Matt Morrison

Boobs.


Boobs are just the best thing ever.

People making me food. My housemate is doing it now in fact. It's the best thing in the world.

Jon Corby's head in a blender.

What are you doing?

Football and friends.

Recaps, Huddersfield Town winning. Need I say more.

Being extremely funny.

Same.

Its nice to know I've made you happy on multiple occasions

That feeling that you're truly appreciated by the people you care about.

And also suck jobbies!

Of course. That first meal you made me, I hadn't eaten properly in days and I was so happy. Thanks Dinos .

Sporting comebacks, pies, tea, moving water, bowel-rattling music.

Strictly Come Dancing, strawberry yoghurt, David Mitchell, postcards from Matt and Heather.

This made me happy in the Metro today:

"I just saw a man transporting a racoon on my train to work. It put me in a great mood for the day. Anyone else seen an odd pet on their travels?" Kev, Essex.

You sure it wasn't you, Wallace?

I have never even seen a raccoon, let alone transported one on a train

I've never seen a live one but have seen plenty of dead ones. When we were at the Manatee festival in Crystal River (Florida) the other year, there was a stall that called itself Roadkill Creations and basically they sold things like slippers made out of dead raccoons!

Don't worry Michael, we didn't buy anything!
