    Waking up and thinking it's time to get up for work then remembering that it's saturday.
    The feeling of clean sheets.
    Good cups of tea.
    Cooking for people and seeing them enjoy it.
    Really good conversations.
    The smell of new books.
    Getting free stuff randomly. Like today near where I work they were handing out free bottles of really nice juices to promote them. And they weren't just samples, they were 750ml glass bottles of juice!
    Having unexpected conversations with strangers.
    Being at work and having a genuinely nice customer come in who smiles and chats to you and is appreciative. Can make the whole day better.

    - Stating the obvious
    - Being able to pay my rent and bills on time.
    - Coming home and finding a magnum in the fridge.
    - A good book.
    - Passing an exam I've done no revision for.
    - Matching a top or an accessory with my cloths.
    - Finding a similar and cheaper item of clothing.
    - Cup of tea
    - That calming atmosphere in the evening on a 40 degree heat.
    - Watching the footy with my mates on a terrace.
    - That feeling when you oder a takeaway and it arrives on your door.
    - Knowing the lyrics to an entire song and singing it when it comes on the radio whilst in a taxi.
    - Mindlessly walking around all night around the town.

    I'd be quite worried if I found a gun in my fridge!

    Running at 3AM down what would be a busy road, but is actually deserted.
    The crisp smell of the autumn leaves in the countryside.
    The feeling of a new set of guitar strings.
    The smell of the inside of a guitar case.

    Last but not least, I'm rather partial to small glasses of single malt Scotch. Lagavulin is the liquid of Gods (if they exist).

    Nail art.
    Knitting.
    Writing and receiving handwritten letters.
    Rereading my favourite books.
    Hugs.
    Sleeping in my own bed when I come home from uni.
    Silence. Time to think.

    Randomly walking somewhere and someone catches your eye and gives you a big grin for no reason at all.

    The taste of salt water as you have a shower after a day at the beach/ in the sea

    Laughing at something for so long you start laughing at the other person's laugh

    Having a proper shower after a camping trip and feeling clean

    The smell and feel of a clean duvet and sheets

    Sitting down to a nice cup of tea (and a biscuit) with Gran

    Having a random stranger smile at you and smiling back

    Loads more but some have been mentioned, I'll keep thinking

    When I've been holding it in for ages (for various reasons), those first few seconds when I finally get to pee are indescribable. :proud:

    Two hours left?
    How about when you wake up at 2:00am and realise 'Hang on, I wake up at 9:00am' leaving you with an entire night's worth of sleep left.
    Ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhh
