Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Yeah, I think a mod needs to move a section of this thread to somewhere more appropriate.

This is supposed to be a happy feels thread afterall

 

Coming to a forum focused on an expensive hobby, than moaning because others have more money is daft at best. Those people, on this forum, who have more have worked hard over many years to get where they are. They are not friends of Tory ministers, who have scammed millions off the tax payers of the UK.

 

I have too much misery for one thread...

Here’s my awesome for the day, I had a few hours extra sleep and now I feel born again.

We’re also having mild success potty training (my son... not me I’m well versed on the throne) so that’s always good news.

also finding out I get paid one week earlier in December on the 24th meaning I’ll clear 2 big debts I’ve been attacking for 18-24 months on Christmas Eve!

 

Congrats man. Sounds like you've been doing a power of work this year clearing debts, which in terms of peace of mind is absolutely priceless. Good stuff

 

Speak for yourself, mate.

My awesome for the day topic: as posted already on the discord, we made Cornish pasty yesterday (beautiful, tasty, especially for the first try), then made saffron ciabatta and fake-Nutella. It's amazing how easily you can make all these things yourself, save money, have fun doing it, and it even tastes as good or better than the store-bought stuff.

 

Milliput Superfine makes my life awesome.

Love that stuff.

 

Ah. NOW I remember, just haven't seen one this century...

 

Aye, making your own stuff doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. You just need to invest a bit of time into it. That pasty looked awesome although where was the cross-section shot?

 

Few things give more satisfaction, than making something yourself and doing it well. Woodwork does it for me.

 

I was too greedy, sorry.

Let me see if there is one left and I'll take a cross-section picture.

 

Getting an Asda substitution, from a £32 bottle of bourbon to a £45 bottle for no extra dobbage

 

Bottle ? Doesn't £45 get you a barrel of the stuff >

 

Well it is 'single barrel'

But at current prices it'd be £12,971.15 for a 53.3 US gallon barrel

 

... But what a night that would be !

 

Indeed, a pleasant night, full of ambience.. erm, I mean ambulance, and softly lit by the fluorescent tubes at the local A&E. Coupled with the gentle gurgling soundrack of the stomach pump.

 

It's almost payday

 

Found this in my Inbox at lunchtime:-


Apparently, they're on target to give me FTTP by next March!
