Default What makes you happy?

I was just wondering, what is one thing you like doing that makes you very happy?

Mine is going for long drives, I feel calm and relaxed when I drive my car.

Geoff

Coming home and finding all the housework done, nothing where it is not supposed to be no cars under my pergola and room to actually have a bbq. Children with tidy bedrooms no arguing and the washing all done folded and put away.

Ah well we can all dream can't we. I have 5 kids plus one car mad husband so the chance of this happening is slim. Who wants to live in a spotless house anyway where you can't be comfortable. :

What really makes me happy is coming home and hearing laughing in the house and lots of happy noise and coming home to plenty of cuddles from the kids and of course Chris.

Watching V8's with a Bundy. The missus waits on me hand and foot during the racing, food, rum, food, rum, food, rum & if Lowndsey has a win, I might get a little lucky too!

Love going out after a busy week. Lately I've been going out with some mates, getting smashed and playing pool, then grab some food. My game is improving quite well.
