Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
2. It looks to be another nice warm day today.
3. Tasty hot coffee.
4. I’m off work all day.
5. I have the entire day to myself.
6. Working on the blogs again.
7. Apparently successfully transferring the blog to a new host. Everything is going as smoothly as possible, it seems. Another day or two, and everything should be done.
8. Breakfast cereals.
9. Getting some nice shots of the Hosta in the garden.
10. Nice sunny weather.
11. The blackout curtains are doing a fantastic job of keeping me cool.
12. Mom fetched my papers for me.
13. I’ve bought some gratitude stones off ebay. I’ll blog about them more when they arrive.
14. That I have the wherewithall to actually transfer the blog.
15. A stable internet connection, PC and electricity supply.
16. Setting up an interest account with Icesave. They offer an upto 7.01% AER interest account. I’ve opted for the 6 month term (just in case I have any problems), which gives 6.86%, paid monthly. After 6 months, I will reassess the market, and reinvest all of the money, including interest. It might be with Icesave, or possibly someone else, but I really want to get compound interest working for me. I tried something similar to this once before, but didn’t keep it up.
17. Beans on toast. Cheap, tasty food.
18. The Alliance and Leicester account I opened via Quidco has tracked, which means that in a few months, I should get paid the £50.
19. That I’m starting to take control of my money again.
20. Playing with Wenna and the hose pipe.
21. I’ve used most of the £20 Amazon voucher I got from ValuedOpinions to buy some batteries. I’ve bought 8 AA batteries (4 for the camera, 4 for clocks and such) and 4 AAA batteries, for the remote controls. This is going to save a fortune in batteries in the long term.
22. Making some Cherry iced tea.
23. A nice nap. I don’t know what it is about this hot weather that makes me tired.
24. Asking myself the very interesting question, “What can I do right now that will improve my life?”
25. The headphones I use to listen to music with.
26. A credit card I applied for via Quidco has also tracked, at a value of £8.50. I get this £8.50 just for applying for the card. I don’t have to use the card, or accept it when it arrives.
27. The pot of Strawberries we have up the garden has some flowers on it, some of which are already starting to turn into fruit.
28. Completing an easy Sudoku puzzle in less than 8 minutes.
29. Getting another item listed on Ebay.
30. Clean uniform.
31. The success I’ve had in working on and developing this blog, both as software and concept.
32. Remembering to sort out the tax disk tonight, as opposed to when it starts flapping about in the breeze from the open window on my way to work tomorrow.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

1. Throwing my sweaty socks at mom yesterday.
2. Getting the giggles with mom about the umbrella up the garden. I don’t even recall what was so funny. We were both just giggling.
3. Soaking dad with the hosepipe.

Things I want to manifest:

1. Complete success with the blog transfer.

Things I’ve done for others:

1. Lent the hosepipe to a neighbour.
2. Fetched the fans down from the loft for mom.
3. Set the fan up in the garden for mom.
