What you mean as in "I've left my car in an unmanned car park and I've waited for lowish tide to get accoss the tidal banks on the smelly tractor ferry to get here and I'm going to have a bl**dy beer and smile" or "I've paid my annual salary for a weekend on Burgh Island and nothing is going to spoil it" type "happy"?!
