Good week, bad week....

So fabulous AC, I can't even express how delighted I am for you all! x

A good week from me also, H is back, I am a teacher ?, and it's my birthday on Sunday so lots of nice meals planned over the next week or so. Plus some fab *BT* news, as explained in my other post.

(Also I have the next two weeks off work which is good in itself!)

Congratulations AC!!!

I've had a generally good week too so I'm going to ignore the little niggles and just bask in all the happy vibes!!

Oh AC - congratulations! Welcome to the world little one.

Quiet week from me, work niggles but I'm not letting those bother me.

That's fab news AC!

My week is better than average - as many of you already know Mr J9 was offered the job he really wants.

And yesterday one of my friends got engaged after 7 years with her man. She's been dying for this to happen so I'm really chuffed for her.

Fantastic news AC and mellow.

Good news week for me too - OH has finally got a job in London so we will no longer have a long distance rship from August. Also means we will be living together properly for the first time. EEK. We don't have the kids this weekend so are going to enjoy the sun tomorrow doing touristy stuff in London we never get the time to do.

Only niggle is my white furry pussycat is all matted due to the heat and he won't let me brush him. I have every different brush you can buy but he has one side where he was operated on after being hit by a car (when he was a stray) which he won't let me touch. Vet has checked and said there is no reason so it shouldn't be painful. So tomorrow OH is going to have to hold him while I shave his matted fur off. He will howl and then sulk for a few days but has to be done!

Yay, so happy for you! All good here, enjoying the sunshine and looking forward to celebrating H's first fathers day on Sunday!!

Fab news AC!!

as for me...

good - it's Friday, been a long week!

good - got the house to myself tonight as Mr C is out - takeaway and crap TV

*bt*

good - got one week left at work till mat leave starts

bad - my first mat cover went AWOL, the lady we offered to yesterday hasn't responded, I don't think we are going to get anyone before I go. I know this isn't my problem but I feel bad for my boss!!

good - got another scan Monday to check baby is still growing ok and in the right position

.

Congratulations AC!!

Good - It's Friday and the sun is shining, out for drinks tonight with work gang.

Good - Going to see my sister's wedding venue with her tomorrow :-)

Good - Got mum and dad over on Sunday for lunch.

Good/Bad - bit of a rollercoaster week work/job-wise, had to let people down which was horrible but all sorted now.

Have a great weekend all!

Congratulations AC! Wonderful news.

I have had a pretty good week full of wedding planning and getting things ticked off our list. So excited now.

Such happy news AC, fab for all of you. X

I am trying to focus on just the good stuff, as if I think about the negatives I will lose it!

Good - Hubby just bought me another slice of rainbow cake

Good - new builders are making progress

Good - we can move into the other place this weekend

Good - I've got 50% of my exam marking done and out of the way

GREAT - *boastful boastful boastful* Today my lovely Yr 11 class all brought me the most wonderful gifts - they saved up and as a thank you for teaching them have got me £75 worth of Next vouchers to spend on the baby, plus the most beautiful flowers and cards and toys for Baby E. What an amazing group they've been. We were all crying saying goodbye. I don't know how much I can express I will miss them, as a class, but as wonderful individuals and people I have just really got along with for 2 fab years. The best bit is in the cards they've written sweet messages about how I treat them patiently, as equals, don't patronise and have got them through tough times because I listen. Those words I will treasure forever. Today I feel like amongst all the sh1testorms horrible staff and sometimes horrible kids can create, I have actually made a difference in their lives. #cheesybuttrue!

Wonderful news AC! Congratulations to you and your family X

Bad week, up until about 2 hours ago:

My probation at work is being extended because, through no fault of my own (words of big boss) things aren't working out and I need to hit certain targets by August to be confirmed in post. It's a new job, they've never had anyone do this for them before and just don't seem to have thought things through really. Feel a bit like ive been set up to fail, and had bit of a premonition (of sickening dread) tha it was going to happen but still wasn't prepared for it when I went in in Tuesday.

WhaT with having just had an offer accepted on a house at the end of last week, we've done some real soul searching about whether we should carry on with the purchase, but the new plan is to go ahead because OH could cover new mortgage payments alone for six months if necessary. But I'm planning to hit my new target (incidentally the first concrete target I've actually been set) whilst looking for a new job, with the aim of telling them where to stick their job at the end of August and waltz off to a fantastic new job.

That would make it: new house, TWO new jobs and getting married all in one year. ?

On the lighter side, mum had a call to say my wedding dress is in store today!! They're being a little bit kn*bhheadish in insisting I pay for it within 7 days, which is tricky as it is in Swansea and I am near Reading, but have negotiated a late appointment on Friday which means by this time next week I'll have pranced around in my wedding dress again. Exciting enough to bring the smile back to my face!

And congratulations AC, new granddaughter is definitely something to be bouncy about!

Congrats AC, that's amazing news!!!

Good - Hubby and I are ordering pizza and watching a movie tonight, been ages!

Good - We finally exchanged on our house!! Complete a week today, can't wait to finally have our own place - though we have our rental until the end of July, so plenty of time to paint and move in!

Bad - hubby's having a terrible time at work, he's desperate to find a new job closer to home as his commute's really killing him, and we never get to see each other

Bad - I've been really poorly this week with a lovely cold, from the stress of the house probably, so have just felt miserable and not been able to do anything except work!

Massive congratulations, AC!!! You must be so delighted.

Flora don't worry Huddersfield are doing it with a few people. It's daughters 2nd choice but she thinking of putting it to her 1st. Some of the people who she knows have had their acceptance letters but they have asked if they can go in to have a 1 to 1. I think their putting so much money into the place they want to know if and trying to bring the uni up more they want to know who will be taking their accepted place for sure.

Good- my car has come back after over 3 weeks,

Good- the police are now trying to do the other driver for dangerous driving, he's admitted been on his phone,

Good- trying to go back to work next week.

Haha sorry Flora it's Kochanski who's got into Huddersfield isn't it? But in principle it could be the same. Making sure you really want to go there rather than offering a place to you and you not been bothered. Sure it will all be ok and good luck.

She has one more exam on Monday very proud of her she applied for 5 uni and got accepted at all 5. She's doing Law. Her first is leeds law uni. I'll be glad when it's all over youngest is still sitting G.C.S.Es so a lot of walking on egg shells.

Once again good luck.

Great to hear all the happy news this week. Congratulations everywhere that congratulations are in order! ? Cheers!

My good is that there have been fewer bad days this week than last, and they are less bad than they used to be. Seems that a corner has been turned.

NO WAY IS IT YOUR ANNIVERSARY ALREADY?! ? That has gone so fast!
