Not sexual, what little things have you come across that have given you pleasure. Something cute said on another thread about 2ps for arcades.
In great yarmouth they have a little "museum" of arcade games its only got about a dozen things in it but we came across it by accident, it only took 2ps and 1ps some of them where victorian we spent ages in there and only spent about £2 in total |

"My Dolls House, not a cheap hobby but gives me hours of peasure"
We had a shop here that was a dolls house specialist shop, its closed down now. I wanted one but didnt really have anywhere to put it, i know its not cheap judging by some of the prices for things in there. |

Some handmade things can be as expensive as the full size things. I try to find things that I can adapt when I go on holiday, I've things in there from all over, not necessarily made for dolls houses, but miniatures. You just have to imagine them 12 times bigger and see if the would be out of place |

"Im not admitting to having a colouring book in the house at 47 when ive a 22 year old son who left home 6 years ago and grew out of colouring books about 12 years ago  "
Dont you find it relaxing? Find crayons are better than pencils however if im feeling all arts n craftsy then i'll colour in using various mark making techniques instead. |

have a look at the hantel minitures site, they have pewter minitures, anything from teddybears, to babys in prams alsorts and not expensive. i had some very rare ones that i sold for a lot of money, but the normal ones would look brilliant in a dolls house. You can get birthday cakes all sorts |

"I love looking at the plant and animal life in our pond. Endless fascination of the insects, fish, amphibians and the changing seasons. "

The seaside at Great Yarmouth or Hemsby is only 18 miles from here, I love taking my 4 year old grandson there on a nice warm Weds evening.
We have a great time - a bag of Harry Ramsdens chips, a bag of hot donuts and hitting the arcades to use up all the 2p coins we've collected over the weeks. The joy on his little face when he wins some crappy 'jewellery' then gives it to me because he loves me. Then there is usually a firework display to round the evening off.
The small pleasures are best shared with someone you love. |

Watching the waves off Liverpool Bay especially on a high tide on a stormy day as the ships head out to sea or into port.
And on the same theme, when I used to work regularly in Cornwall watching the waves colliding against the beautiful cliffs and outcrops of rocks creating fabulous sprays. |

Blowing bubbles when kids aren't around, they tend to spoil the fun if they haven't got their own bottle!
Hearing my neighbour making stupid noises to make his baby laugh always puts a big smile on my face.
The talk of dolls houses has made me want to get mine out of my wardrobe now  |

Used to do it with my ex partner but we'd make our own fireworks in the dunes at the end of it. Try it one day - you'll love it.

people watching does it for me.
love just sitting in the park or on a train just watching people.
guessing what they do and stuff.
as the lyrics from America by Simon and Garfunkel go:-
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"
always make me smile.. |
