5 Things That Make You Smile

    In an attempt to combact all the negativity I've been feeling in AH of late I think it's time for something a little more light hearted.

    So what little things make you smile?

    1) A nice hot cup of tea with a nice slice of cake on the side.

    2) Getting a letter or email from someone I haven't heard from in awhile.

    3) Waking up early and realising that it's Saturday and you can sleep in.

    4) Getting a parcel in the post even if it's just something I ordered myself.

    5) Going out and having a fun night with my friends.
