7 of the most satisfying free pleasures in the world

Free like a bird.

YOU’VE GOTTEN OVER  Wednesday (AKA Hump Day) and now it’s all plain sailing right into the best day of the week – and that is, of course, Friday.

But if you want to get the party started a little bit earlier, here are the perfect ways to celebrate those perfect, free moments in life that make it feel like Friday every single day of the week…

1. Finally spotting a parking space

See also: zipping in just as the light goes green. For the non-drivers out there, this is kind of like when a new check-out opens in the supermarket just as you had started to queue. An unbeatable high.

2. Getting a random compliment

Oh, this old thing? You charmer.

3. Finding a tenner in an old coat

DING DING DING. JACKPOT.

4. Music syncing with your stride

You know what we mean – when you’re walking down the street, intent on your destination, and the music blaring in your headphones just magically manages to perfectly suit your stride. You’re a boss, no doubt about it. (Pssst – stick on this playlist while you’re at it.)

5. Puppies

Looking at puppies – or indeed kittens if that’s more your bag – is one of life’s purest pleasures. And, what’s more, petting puppies don’t cost you a thang.

6. That first sip of a drink

Probably the best feeling in the world. Probably.

7. Getting something cool for free

There’s nothing better than payment being waived. It’s a toy in the cereal box all over again. It’s a total no-brainer, this one. I mean, just ask yourself: what’s better than a really great thing? A really great, FREE thing.

And even more good news – tomorrow is Free Breakfast Friday at McDonald’s. Drop into your local McDonald’s to pick up a free Sausage and Egg McMuffin or free Bacon and Egg McMuffin – get your weekend started right at every McDonald’s nationwide until 10am. It’s totally on us. See you there!
