I love the way traffic lights reflect in wet roads at night...the smell of puppies... and fluffy yellow ducklings with little waxy beaks.

What are some of your simple pleasures?

Mine is sat in my back yard with a glass of wine in one hand, and a good book in the other.

Also, driving to work with my radio on loud and the windows up so I can sing my head off

Oh yes chips and cheese (another guilty pleasure) - especially at the end of a night on the bevvy. The chippy wasn't Aldos by any chance?

Fresh coffee every morning
Smell of fresh bread
The smell of rain after a hot spell
Kicking dried leaves in the autumn
Getting into a freshly changed bed
Watching the kids playing nicely together

I'd go with that one - but substitute bath for back yard, and add some huge fluffy towels for afterwards.

Another one for me - slobby Sundays, where we loll about all day in our jammies and I make the kids do the cooking.

You go girl

Yep it's defo a small world! I used to live in Kilwinning and would occasionally frequent Aldos!

Another simple pleasure of mine is lying in sunshine (not very often in Scotland!) listening to tunes on my ipod
