Friday good/bad

That's awful for you, and probably for her too ?

Good:

Going back to the UK in 2 weeks for our Visa interview and get to see all my friends!

Going to a winery tomorrow for tasting with a really good friend i've made here

The weather is gorgeous and its Cherry Blossom time

I've lost 4lbs this week.

Bad:

I have to visit family while in the UK

I now weigh what I was when I first moved here (going out to restaurants with visitors!)

I hurt all over.

More positives than negatives though and the sun is shining ?

Lots of ? to those that need them and ? for all the goods.

Bad - just got a congestion penalty charge notice for driving from a non-congestion street to a non-congestion street via a cobbled back alley behind Marylebone library which has recently and hatefully become an inexplicable congestion zone. Breathe.

Mr Muscle oven cleaner is rubbish.

Good: Just everything else.

I love love love my husband, I have a really properly happy marriage

My kids are not being at all vile today and I feel like a good mum with activities etc (I know the 2 are probably connected..)

I have visibly lost weight this week, my skin looks great and I feel really quite well on account of giving up smoking, drinking and caffeine all at once (during the week.)

Cheers dude ?

I am a very bad amateur harpist in my spare time dontcha know. It's actually impossible to sound bad, which is a bonus.

Good:

Going to see a concert tonight- havent been to one for ages

I dont look like a troll today

Bad:

Despite me telling H not to take money out of the account , he did. And now my sainsburys delivery was sainsbuggered. Had to go out a lug a load of shopping around for the sake of him getting some crappy games for the stuppidddd xbox *spit*

It looks as thought the youngun is ill so might have to pass my concert ticket to someone else if he gets worse

Thanks.

?

GOOD

- I can officially drive my H's car this weekend ON MY OWN seeing as I passed my driving test first time on Wednesday!

- I have a hen night on Saturday night so its a great excuse to drink lots and behace disgracefully. (or sit in the corner and sip wine and watch everyone else make a twunt of themselves!)

- I can't wait to have 2 days out of my hellish work

BAD

- I have a minging cold sore

- I won't get out of work until 9pm tonight at the earliest as we have a staff 'social' and all managers have to stay to show 'willing'

- I am depressed about being overweight and am seriously considering joining Slimming World on Monday night as I have TWO BM dresses to fit into later this year

Good

Mr WT has called to say he has 3 job interviews lined up next week and week after in Biggin Hill, Reading and Cwmbran. Fingers crossed he gets one of them.

Tis only bluddy Friday and Im finishing at 3 to go out for drinks with friends after work!

Bad

As of Tuesday Mr WT is unemployed and we will solely be relying on my wage to pay for everything, it scares me, a lot.

We still havent had an offer in on our house even though we do have a v keen couple they have to wait for an offer on theirs first

Bad

The last full night's sleep i got was 12th November 2008.

My 4 month old baby is being an absolute grot at the moment. I could cope with her not sleeping if only she was easy during the day. She never is.

I am still over a stone above my normal weight and i hate it

My H has been made redundant and I'm on SMP. We have pretty much no income and i'm scared about how long we can last

Good

Baby may be grotty and sleepless, but she's absolutely gorgeous and i love her to bits

My parents are back in the country and i'll get to see them again soon

Good:
I'm off work til next Wednesday (been laid off)
Just got (almost) the last of my stuff and furniture from my old house - hurrah for my lovely old chest of drawers that holds masses of clothes!

Bad:
Only half my salary this month due to being laid off
Utterly wasted my days off work due to extreme procrastination and laziness

Good

It's Friday.

It's the weekend.

I can have a lie in on Sunday and (sad) I'm going to The Education Show tomorrow and I'll get lovely stuff.

This time next week it'll be time to break up for the Easter hols.

Bad

My house is a tip and getting tippier by the day because I don't know where to start.

I have a million things to do before the aforementioned Easter hols.

Good

• H is doing well on his diet and lost another 5lbs this week
• I've finally got back to running and although I still have no love for it, I'm not hating it either.
• My facials are finaly paying off and my skin is looking fab (if I do say so myself!)
• Have a party to go to tomorrow night

Bad

• I've been putting off a work project for far too long. I was going to spend all of this week on it but now have a day to get it done in. There's no wiggle room as I have to present it at the next board meeting which means the report has to be submitted by Monday. (Obviously hitching is helping no end with this process!! )

Good for me, my stepmum is visiting us from France, has come with wine and champagne. We have just been down to our local village pub where we had a lovely lunch and 3 glasses of champers! She is now off up to London to meet her pal for a couple of nights.

Tomorrow, a day of vegging and shopping.

Sunday, my stepmu returns, I am cooking a big roast diiner, we will then spend the evening gassing and drinking vino. Monday we are going to Luton Hoo for lunch.

I am loving having her here as I don't often get to have here as she always spends a lot of her time with the grandkids when she's over, so I'm really pleased to get some quality eating and gossiping time with her!!!

Anyone notice a theme here?

The clocks go forward!!!

BAD

It all ends on Tuesday when I have to go to college which is just dull, but I do break up for easter for 2 weeks.

Good

I'm eating ice cream

I'm working from home and have got a couple of things done that have been niggling for a while

My foot injury is feeling much better today

I've made a huge bobotie for dinner tonight as both motherships are coming over

It's Friday

It's only 45 days until we go to Santorini

Bad

I'm eating ice cream

It's only 45 days untuil we go to Santorini and I'm fat

I can't run for a few weeks because of my foot injury

Good

It's Friday and i've got pizza to look forward to tonight

My skin is looking pretty good at the mo thanks to the goodies I bought from Clinique last weekend, they are really making a visible difference (this was when i had a little money)

Despite being skinter than a skint thing somehow i've got together enough money in my current account to cover all the standing orders for next month

I have some salt and vinegar crisps in my desk drawer to scoff in a minute

Bad

H is all doom and gloom about work again and it's really getting me down

3 of the women I work with went off for a nice lunch together and for some reason are keeping it a huge secret from me (but badly so i know about it). I have no money for lunching but it would be nice to be asked along.

My mum is busy trying to guilt trip me into going to a wedding in September which I really don't want to go to and cannot afford to get to either. She's big on guilt trips lately and i'm not liking it one bit

Good:

We've exchanged contracts, i can't beleive after 18 months I'm finally moving house!

Bad:

I''ve got to pack.

Good: One of my best friends is leaving for London to visit me with her fiance in half an hour. I've not seen her since November. I passed part one of 2 of my promotion process on Monday. 3 of my 4 bosses are out of the office today. Bad: I've not lost any weight since Christmas partly due to me eating everything in sight and having no will power. I've lost my gym motivation which isn't helping with the weight loss thing above.

Good:

It's me birfday and I feel very spoilt!

Weekend of nothingness is upon us so that's fab.

H is cooking me yummy duck thing for tea which is scrumptious..

Bad:

Period has just started so after my good work all week I am now with belly ache and wanting chocolate and NOW!

I don;t think my bread which I am putting in the oven is going to work.

Katchoo hugs re your cat and flying. Would some rescue remedy help? I share your pain I work myself up for flights too and the smallest thing on the plane sets me off.

SophieM wohooo on the run, great news.

Good

Its Friday, I finished work at 2pm, and since I have been doing houseworky things every evening this week, I feel justified in having a lazy afternoon complete with biscuits

I have no major plans for the weekend, so looking forward to lots of sleep and general chilling out

I'm getting an assistant at work, which will be fab. Work in general is pretty good right now ?

Bad

Not a lot to grumble abouit other than the fact that I have a slightly sore throat and that I'm already skint, despite being paid only 2 days ago, the money is all allocated for bills

Happy birthday Kazmerelda!?

Happy Birthday to you! ??

Good:

The big announcement at work today wasn't that we are all being made redundant with immediate effect, which is good because I'm upduffed and therefore have very little chance of getting alternative employment

We were allowed to finish work at 4pm today to all go down the pub

It's the weekend and I plan to go out for some more clothes shopping tomorrow

I have my scan next week so don't have to keep things to ourselves too much longer

Bad:

We now have a new MD who said that there will be cost cutting and lots of changes in the company, so we're not safe from redundancy yet, which is bad because I'm upduffed and therefore have very little chance of getting alternative employment

Fortunately there's not much else on the bad list but the above has made for a rather depressing afternoon and is weighing on our minds somewhat.

Good-

Am awaiting pizza and champagne.

I'm having a girlie day tomorrow with my friend in Manchester, shopping, lunch, shopping and dinner...staying over too so thats going to be good.

Still have our jobs.

Bad-

H is stressed and fed up with work so brings the feeling in the house down.

No payrise for H and possbily no bonus so can feel holiday drifting away.

I'm fat.

Good

I am looking forward to sleeping in my lovely comfy bed rather than a tiny hotel bed

It's take away night. Mmmm, Chinese

I have a whole weekend with no plans - I'm so happy at not having to do anything

I will make ciabatta bread with my much loved leaven (I promise I will get pics to you Nick!)

Bad

Came home to discover my sleeping bag has been used by a drunken fool (see washing sleeping bag thread ?)

My skin has developed spots. Stupid pregnancy hormones

I have to go away with work again next week

I can't stop eating & wil be the size of a cul-de-sac, never mind a house in a few months time

GOOD

Good

I went for two interviews this week, and got both posts

I have been to the gym 4 times since last w/e

I am about to eat M&S porn food.....which may negate the above

On the way home tonight, I stopped in Monsoon/accessorise and treated myself to some luvverly bangles and a silk scarf

Only 7 weeks until I go to Capri (H's birthday treat to me)

Bad

I am agonising about which post to take!

I feel a bit bad that I have said "yes" to both but by the start of next week will have to blow out one.

I finish work next Friday and next week will be a stress fest

That I might blubber at my leaving do.....I don't like emotional incontinence!

On my last day, I have to be part of a formal capability procedure for some fuckwit I cannot stand!

Good

I have lost more weight and am now 2 lb of my ideal weight - without even trying ?

It's the weekend so I'll get some help with the children and finally I'll get to spend some time with my husband

We are picking up our new car tomorrow

I am looking forward to making an easter bonnet with older daughter for preschool

Bad

We've been really worried about our daughters' health - both of them - and there's all sorts of ongoing stuff with them

We are utterly, utterly skint, especially since his car died, so I've just agreed to return to work, which was not the plan

I have lots of work to do at the weekend when I'd rather we were together as a family

My house is an absolute tip and I have about 7 loads of washing to do.

My bin lid is still knackered ?

Good - I have control of the remote tonight ? so I am watching a re-run of Desperate Housewives

Bad - I've been up since 5.30am and I am absolutely shattered

Happy birthday Kazmerelda!

? MrsB. Speedy recovery vibes for your bin lid ?

Good - Its the weekend

OH is cooking Risotto whilst I hitch

I'm getting confirmed on Sunday

Bad - I'm broke

Work is v stressful at the min and I can't get motivated which makes it worse

Dad is ill and having tests on his bowel next week. I'm worried that my family are keeping news from me about what is up with him as I don't deal with him being ill very well ☹️

Good

Am 1 week into a 3 week break from work. The kids are still at nursery for the 3 days I would usually work. So, for the first time in 18 months I've had A DAY TO MYSELF. No, scrap that, THREE days to myself.

It's my birthday this weekend and we are having a few friends over. I've organised a few silly party games to play.

I had a lovely gossipy afternoon.

We are off to Center Parcs on Friday.

Bad

I have ongoing medical issues with my nether regions which are about to come to a head.

Our hoover and our boiler have died today.

the sleepless night that inevitably lies ahead of me

Good:

I did an hour in the gym tonight and resisted the (well placed) sweetie shop on the way home.

The children are finally in bed

We go to France in a week and a bit

I am planning on going to Body Balance tomorrow and I am very excited about it.

Bad:

Big child broke up for Easter holidays today which means I have her for 3 weeks full time and she will be VILE!

I think I need glasses and new orthotics and we can't afford either.

Small child is hell bent on killing herself.

I am having panics about small child getting the pox (meaning France would be cancelled)
