    Things to make you feel good...

    I'm in a very positive new year mood this week and have been thinking of things to do that make me (and maybe you) feel good. So I thought I'd start a wee list here in the hope that some of you will join in. Your ideas have to cost less than £1 so that even those of us on a restricted budget can benefit from your inspired suggestions. Add a number beside each one and bet we get to a 100 before I can say "Robert est ton oncle!!!"

    Here goes :

    1. Have a lovely yummy bath and take out that body lotion that's been hiding in a cupboard and rub it all over.

    2. Drink 2 litres of mineral water in one day (every day !) - you know it's good for you !

    3. Go for a half-hour walk even if the weather is crap. You'll come back with nice rosy cheeks and you'll feel really proud of yourself. (Great to follow this with number 1 but make sure you pee first if you're doing the water one )

    4. E-mail/send a card/phone a friend you haven't spoken to for a while. They might be really chuffed and send you some happy words back.

    Over to you !!!!

    Wxxxx

    5. Let someone into traffic ahead of you. The feeling of virtue is nice.

    6. Leave work exactly on time.

    7. Put aside a conflict or grudge and offer the olive branch by saying sorry or some other relevant gesture - even if it wasn't your fault!

    8. Join him - random acts of kindness to strangers can be bizarrely comforting.

    9. Write a song about something important to you - or, if you're not musically minded, just the lyrics. You'll be amazed how much more you understand the way you feel about whatever it is.

    11. Sing along to your favourite songs whilst doing the ironing. Sing as loud as you can (assuming you're doing the ironing at a reasonably civilised time. Oh, and assuming you ever do ironing.)

    12. Have a perfect cup of tea. Sit and hold it, and have a nice little think about "things" while you wait for it to cool down. Drink when it reaches the perfect temperature for you... hmmmmm

    13. Eat your pudding first.

    14. Say hello and smile to the checkout cashier.

    16. Set up a comfy 'den' just in front of the TV, with duvets, blankets, cushions, pillows etc, put on your absolute favourite film and watch it in your pyjamas without moving.

    17. Pick one day this weekend and don't get out of bed all day - use the time to read, cuddle your laptop or your teddy bear, or just to contemplate the meaning of life. This one is even better if you do it after Wendy's No. 3.

    18. Get on a bus/drive without any specific destination - see if you end up somewhere interesting and new. But take a map, just in case!

    Hang on, recount...

    Dizzy's and Lory's weren't numbered... so by my reckoning (assuming no-one's cross-posted) we're up to

    20. Give someone a hug

    21. Ask for a hug

    (probably best if you know the other person/people)

    EDIT: re-numbered due to cross-post!

    22. Write a list of everything you have to do. Ignore it and do something you really WANT to do first.

    Sorry hun, didn't mean to spoil the mood!!

    24. Speak to someone that you haven't spoken to before and introduce yourself. It might become a real friendship.

    25. Take all your clothes out of the wardrobe and make a pile of all the things you haven't worn in 2005, if you didn't wear them in a whole year you WILL NOT wear them ever again,

    26. Now put them all up on e-bay at 99p each and watch the free market at work.

    27. Now handwash all the cashmere

    28. Now put all the fab things back in your wardrobe with all the trousers together, all the skirts together, all the long sleeved tops together, etc

    29. Have a nice cup of tea and a Blue Ribband and decide that you haven't gone far enough

    30. Go back to wardrobe and ensure that each subsection of clothes are also nicely "rainbowed"

    hurry up with that rep Wendy

    You'd be doing the rainbow thing as well. The only reason you don't is cos everything in your wardrobe is bright blue !!!

    32. Get a UGC season ticket. OK it's £10.99 a month so I'm breaking the pound rule, but if you see 11 films a month, that works out at less than a pound per film.

    34. Go to a car boot sale or charity shop and buy a book you love (that you haven't already got). Re-read it, enjoy it, then release it into the wild for someone else to find www.bookcrossing.com

    My 'rainbow' would go from (a little) red to (lots of) black with some plum in between!

    35. Go for a walk in a park and watch a winter sunset. (Even better when accompanied by an amazing moon rise - just wish I'd brought my camera with me!)

    36. Slightly over a quid, but not by much - and as a treat: walk to the chip shop and buy chips with lashings of salt and vinegar. Scoff on the way home (probably doesn't work quite so well if your chip shop is so nearby that you don't feel like you've had a long enough walk to justify the calories... but chips are good )

    37. Next time you pass a fish tank/aquarium, watch for five minutes. Very soothing. Easy if it's your fish tank!

    38. Rebel against rainbow classification. File your wardrobe with purple and orange and green and blue all next to each other. Colours clashing is perception, not reality.
