I'll start us off!

Good - 3 day weekend and therefore a four day week next week

Good - my friend is finally realising her dream tomorrow by opening a bridal shop! (Sorry Jojo it's not near you!)

Good - meeting up with friends tomorrow and off to a beer fest

Absolutely no bads from me this week!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and don't have to work!

    Nice one Holey, I was just thinking of posting one of these, haven't seen one in a while!

    Good - After working my a$$ off for the last few weeks, I'm having a three and a half day weekend. Working this morning but chilling out this afternoon.

    Good - Got a new client a month ago, sent her a whacking great big invoice yesterday and she's promised me lots more work, which is great news for the wedding fund.

    Bad - Doing so much work has meant I haven't done any proper housework/cleaning and it's starting to really get to me, the house is a tip and I probably need to spend my 3 1/2 days tidying and cleaning.

    Bad - Finally got a letter after I went to see the clinical genetics consultant to say I will have an appointment with a psychologist in EIGHT MONTHS...

    Good - H2B and I are starting to make headway in wedding plans and DIY/decor bits, which is really exciting ?

    Good - long weekend!

    Bad - OH is working nights all weekend

    Good - did legs, bums and tums class night and I'm feeling the burn! Which isn't great but surely means I worked hard so I'm taking that as a positive!

    Excellent idea!

    Good - lost another 3lb this week bringing me to under 14 stone for the first time in a very long time

    Good - finished my training and received my certificate - ready to volunteer!!

    Good - little man scored a goal in his hockey match yesterday - proud mummy moment

    Bad - little man took a hit to the head with a hockey stick - worried mummy moment!

    Good - went for my first walk in 3 weeks, thoroughly enjoyed it

    Bad - sprained ankle not quite recovered, pain today ☹️

    As always, big hugs to those who need them xxx

    Good - 3 days off work. Yay!

    Good - going to FSIL and FBIL's for dinner tonight, which will mean cuddles with our 18n month old nephew.

    Bad/Good - Lender wouldn't lend to us for reasons outside of our control, which meant back to square one with the mortgage. Good that another lender has been particularly sympathetic and will try to do things for us as quickly as possible.

    Related good/bad - this will hopefully mean we are homeowners soon, although it might all go through while we are in wedding week and/or on honeymoon - just what we were trying to avoid!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Good I've gone back to my old job role so I am now working nearly normal people hours and I get every weekend off bar one Saturday morning in four so get to see hubby more again. They are fixed hours so can get my weight loss back on track

    Good we had a second viewing of our house last night and he's extreme interested to the point he was planning where his stuff will go.

    Bad the estate agent is pretty poor at chasing feedback and we know he's away this weekend so long wait till Tuesday.

    Good I'm eating falafel

    Good - had transition meetings for when my son starts high school in Sept. He has anxiety issues, so they have arranged extra days to go in, on top of the other days they all do in june. These will hopefully make him a bit more comfortable, and have put my mind at rest.

    Bad - Having a child ready for high school makes me feel old.

    Good - Birthday Prep is going well. I am basically having a kids party. Full on Hello Kitty theme. It's not until July, so I am essentially spending longer (and more money) on my party, than I did on my wedding, ha.

    Bad - damaged my foot, and I haven't been able to walk properly for 2 weeks now.

    Good - long weekend with my boys and H, who has been away all week. We've got his kids though, so I am praying they behave. Can do without the stress.

    Good - my son took part in a St Georges day parade last weekend, with the Scouts. He got special recognition for it this week, was very proud.

    As I am so proud, here's a pic of him, with the Mayor of Tamworth

    Bad: my PC has died a death. It was very old so I suppose it was inevitable but I was really hoping it could hold out until at least I had finished my dental treatments - I can't afford to replace it for at least 3 months. Had to remove the music editing line from my sig in the meantime. Sadface.

    Good - it's a bank holiday and I don't have to work!

    Bad - we were supposed to be going to visit my friend and her new baby and have a catch up with a group of uni friends, but host friend is poorly so we've had to cancel.

    Good - instead went out for dinner with H last night, tried 4 different places before we got to anywhere with space, and had some yummy Slovakian food, which is a new one for me.

    Good (and shameless plug) - my sister is making amazing progress with her Land's End-John O'Groat's cycle ride, she went past Loch Lomond yesterday and is heading for Fort William. See here: http://www.addventures.info/en/ https://www.justgiving.com/lejogadventure

    Good - planning our trip to Rio!
