Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

Upon hearing the amazing news of Utopia's WIN today, what else were we to do but to throw her a party. We missed our Chocolate Day yesterday so I think our theme for the party should be chocolate today (I know how much Utopia looooves chocolate - so the decision wasn't a difficult one)...

Re: Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

I am just so happy about your win @utopia. I know that it has really gotten you down lately and that you were dreading having to go to that meeting tomorrow.

I hope you allow yourself a bit of a real rather than just this virtual celebration. Buy yourself something nice. Maybe go on a little trip. But best of all, relax and bathe in the glow of victory.

With this stressor out of the way, perhaps the other things that are troubling you won't seem quite as bad.

Your victory is our victory too. Such wonderful news. Hope you have the best sleep tonight.

Re: Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

@soul. I bought myself a painting yesterday and I pick it up in 2 weeks. On my actual birthday. I've never spent so much money on a single item before, except my car and house. It's a beautiful original painting by an aboriginal woman that I love. So I'll get my reward then.
Thank you everyone for helping to celebrate this Win.
Here's hoping that more of us in the forum get some wins of one kind or another.

Re: Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

Great to hear that you have treated yourself to something you will get a lot of enjoyment out of @utopia.

Had a family holiday a long time ago to NT. Heaps of galleries there selling Abiriginal artwork with huge markups no doubt. Ended up buying one from a woman who was painting on the street. I listened to her tell me the story behind it and I told her that I wanted to buy it.

I picked it up later that day. The next morning, there she was at the breakfast buffet of the hotel we were staying at with half a dozen friends/family spending the money I gave her on a big feed.

Yes - let's party

This is called @utopia's Cake of course

And I think I might start on the icing sugar tonight

Re: Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

..'hard icing '? As they used to call it? Hi @Owlunar haven't seen you in a while. Just saying hello 😀

Re: Congratulations Utopia - Let's Party!

I agree @utopia

@Owlunar, I used to do cake decorations , it was fun doing all the flowers and things out of icing

Hi @TAB

I took some time out - I had a chronic pain flare - it happens during cold weather - it goes away

Great to see you again - ah - my mail box was overflowing with notifications and for whatever reason (forget what it was now) I shut down the notifications thinking I would still get a message if I was tagged

Not so - I am still trying to figure that out - in the meantime when I post it is directly to some person about something they have posted - so I guess I would have got around to you eventually - which actually I have

In the meantime - my mail box is resting peacefully and I get to most people

I hope you are okay TAB - I gotta tell you though I ran out of salt and vinegar crisps and my salad tasted so flat and boring - gotta have some salt - so true

All the best

Dec

Hi @Owlunar yes it can be good to have a break. Sorry re pain. I also have a soft spot for salt and vinegar chips 😀
