In June I was grateful for... #365DaysOfGratitude

I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day and I thought I would share here too. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.

Today I am grateful for

Today I am grateful for my bed! After leaving the house at 8am this morning for a fun day out at Skegness we got back just before 5pm. Had an hours sit down and was back out to celebrate the jubilee locally. We didn't get back until 10pm. I am well and truly knackered!! We will be having a lie in tomorrow!

Today I am grateful for more Jubilee celebrations locally. A beer & cider festival. This afternoon Stu & I went off to the church to join in the fun while Ellie was out with her friends and Becky was sleeping for a night shift. I had 3 different ciders. A rhubarb one, a strawberry one, a dark fruit one as well as a hot dog for tea.

Today I am grateful for Titanic being on Disney+ now. I've been fancying watching it for ages but couldn't find until today. I always forget what a good film it is.

Day 157 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for This new thingy. I've seen them loads on TikTok, the crystal hair remover and wanted to give it a try. It works. It's no quicker than shaving your legs with a razor but it is less faff. You just rub where there's hair and the hair is gone. I got mine off ebay and it cost about £8.50.

Today I am grateful for a long lie in this morning for us all. It was needed.

Day 177 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that the ice cream man eventually turned up! I'd given up hope and had a choc ice out of the freezer. I was gutted when I heard his music. It was just the kids getting something.

Day 178 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that we are well and truly settled here. This time 3 years ago we were leaving Ashington in Northumberland to move to North Lincolnshire. Time really does fly. It was a big move and scary but we've never been happier!

Day 179 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a delicious meal tonight. Thai-Style pork patties with sweet potato wedges & salad from Gousto. It's not something we would normally eat but we will be again. It was easy to make and tasted amazing! I did end up with 16 patties instead of 8. lol I obviously made them too small but it didn't make a difference to the taste.

Day 180 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that Becky has completed 3 years in college. It was her last day today. She officially starts full time work over the weekend, still at the care home where she's been working part time! I am so proud of her.

Coconut jam cake

Today I am grateful that Becky baked a coconut and jam sponge cake. It turned out really well. Stu was even happier, it's his favourite cake!

  1. I found it difficult to share the things I was grateful for as some of our greatest achievements are rather personal. I can honestly say I was grateful that my daughter's birthday last week went really well and that she was really happy with all her presents and treats. It's always a bit of hit and miss but this year it was definitely a hit!
