Good/Bad week thread

Irisbride, 5 April, 2013 at 09:02 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 32

As I haven't been around for a while and haven't seen one of these I thought I'd kick off,,,,,

Bad- Nights all weekend

Bad- Had to been in work early to do something so no sleep before nights

Good- week off next week

Bad- week off will spent revising for an exam the following week

Bad- Diet going very badly post-easter

I'm sure I could be a bit more optimistic but feeling miserable and grumpy today! Hope you all have great weekends!

    Good: MF's bad mood seems to have lifted. I think he's realised that nothing much has changed since his big birthday, nothing has shriveled up or dropped off. He had no hair beforehand, so at least that's not a worry!
    Bad: My AF is still MIA...
    Good: Off to a carboot on Sunday to hopefully make a bit of cash and get rid of some stuff.

    Hope everyong has a great weekend. x

    Bad - Got H's 2 kids all weekend. I can feel my blood pressure rising already. If last week is anything to go by, I will be consuming a lot of wine.

    Bad - Because of the above, I can't make a start on my decorating.

    Good - with 6 weeks to go until my parents wedding, I have finally finished making fecking flowers. Unless anyone else requests a button hole, in which case, they will get a needle in the eye.

    Good - My H is back home after being away all week. Just hope his kids don't put him in a bad mood like last week.

    Bad - Have to go to a party Saturday and can't be bothered, it's in a not particularly nice part of London and is a pain to get there and worse to get home. Feel a bit guilty about not wanting to go and will prob be fine once I've got a bottle if wine in me!

    Good - excited for lots of friends 30th birthdays coming up this month!

    Bad - fed up of the crap weather now, it's depressing!!

    Good- off out tonight; a Smiths tribute band! Should be a larf.

    Bad- ...it's at 9.30 am and it's gonna be SO coooooold......!

    Good- got a tub of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Me Up ice-cream at home

    Good- Looking at a house tomorrow, also today we'll hear back from our broaker what kind of rates etc he can do etc (tbh I don't really know, all I know is hopefully in another couple of months we'll have a house! God I'm a bad feminist)

    Good- Sun is shining today and it felt pleasantly warm out on lunch.

    Bad- I'm *** at sorting out this poxy wedding, still haven't sorted the tog out because I'm scared of her. Need to man up

    Bad- I was so good on my diet before Lent, but the novelty of actually eating food has meant I've binged all week and haven't been to the gym all week.

    Bad/Good- Baby sister left to go travelling on Wednesday, going to miss a lot but it will be so good for her.

    I saw it! Tis lovely Peanut, didn't want to post over here about it in case you hadn't planned to say anything.. Both you grandmas look amazing!! Good genes you've got there ?

    For me:

    It's nearly the weekend thank god but this week has gone so fast which doesn't bode well for the amount of work Ineed to do!!

    Mum&Dads 30th wedding anniversary party this weekend. Should be fun to see people I haven't seen for years but also going to be a bit weird I think..

    Brilliant day of deliveries yesterday - love on top toppers from kharv for the rents, H's new WR and our proof wedding dvd in full!!!

    Oh gosh, where to start this week...

    Bad - the van still isn't fixed and is engineless. And we were meant to be leaving for a weekend in Snowdonia tonight. And the van repairs are costing £1400!

    Good - OH says we can still go, just do a pre-dawn start, do the climbing we want to do, and back very late with pub grub on the way home.

    Bad - we ran out of oil, more was delivered, and the boiler still didn't work

    Good - 3 days later OH was fiddling with it and it worked, and when the boiler man came today, he didn't charge any call out fee and still gave it a little check for free.

    Bad - still haven't managed to get rid of the weeds on the veg patch after 2 loads of Roundup.

    Good - now we will be home Sunday, this can be tackled.

    Good - the floor is littered with flooring samples and being home Sunday also means we can go to the shop, since I'm not convinced any we have ordered are quite right.

    Good - we've had a quote for our renovations and it's affordable.

    Bad - even though affordable, it's still £4k I need to find

    Good - the Andes expedition is confirmed

    Bad - that's £1500 in flights I need to find on Monday

    Good - although we seem to be haemorrhaging money at the moment, now the tax year has ended I can close a business account (I'm also closing the business) and take the money from there.

    Best of all....

    Drum roll...

    OH got a £7.5k pay rise for the coming year!!! Well done Mr BBB for finally having a salary in line with his job and duties. Makes my NHS 1% laughable ?

    Good - H will soon officially be off his Mum's mortgage.

    Bad - We had to loan her £320 to assist with the above, but we will get it back soon.

    Good - Things are slowly improving with H and I'm beginning to feel better about myself.

    Bad - My Mum still doesn't believe there was ever a problem and told me it was all in my head and that I wasn't being a good wife.

    Good - the sun is shining!

    Good - my Mum is making really good progress after her hip replacement.

    Good - day off tomorrow and going to see Mum and Dad and out for lunch.

    Cheers leni. We're both happy in snow and ice, and only in Wales because my van is broken so we can't get to the Highlands. We're off to the Andes in 2 months doing unclimbed peaks and new routes, so totally happy with weirdy snow and ice, and climb to a decent level.

    Bad - just spent £300 on my exam.

    Not much else happening this week.

    Bad: Car being a pain again

    Bad: Cat got run over and had to spend 2 nights in the vets

    Good: Car is fine and is fixable, just a matter of changing something

    Good: Cat is now home

    Bad: Cat is being naughty and not doing as the vet says (bed rest) I dont have a dog crate at the minute which I desperately need for her. I put her in the carrier but shes bashing around and generally causing mayhem. Not bad for 3 broken ribs and a poorly leg.

    Bad - the sewage/floor situation is still nowhere near sorted.

    Bad - the insurance company look increasingly like they're going to declare the house 'habitable' because we still have access to the kitchen and bathroom, which means we won't get our rent back

    Bad - I feel really poorly and the rheumatologist still hasn't gotten back to me with an appointment, despite my referral going through in February.

    Good - L came back today from a week with his dad and had a really good time.

    Bad - He has picked up his dad's Stokey twang and keeps saying "boooook" etc ?

    I feel very moany and whingey this week.

    Bad - Still not back to normal totally.

    Good - One week of Easter hols left.

    Bad - Have a lot of marking and prep to do before going back to school.

    Good - Due to stomach bug, have most of Easter chocolate left which should keep me going through the work.
