Weekly good/bad thread...

Little Madam, 26 November, 2010 at 12:41 Posted on Planning 0 38

Well, as it is Friday, I thought I would start a little weekly thread.

For all the newbies out there, each week, just before the weekend we often just pop a few lines about what is going to be good this weekend, and what is going to be a bit pants! Just as a kind of way of sharing and getting to know each other a bit better.

So..

Good - I have been in bed for 7 whole days with the flu, and today, finally I am feeling better

Good - I get to see my H2b tonight, having not seen him since last Sunday

Bad - I need to drive 80 miles to see him, and need to be on the road for 1:30, but still have to pack and shower and do my hair... challenges challenges.. haha (However, OH is not due to arrive until 7pm so my only "appointment" is with the Milton Keynes shopping centre...)

Good - My OH got promoted on Thursday and so I am taking him out for some lunch tomorrow

Bad - it's his choice and so we are likely to end up in.... Gourmet Burger Kitchen ?

Good - tried my dress on last week and it was fine, which has relaxed me a bit about the whole wedding plans.

Bad - I don't want to relax too much as there is lots still to do.

    Bad - My morning sickness made an unwelcome return after weeks of leaving me alone. Booooo.

    Good - Iwent to an "awards ceremony" at my sons school where he got an award for his artwork.

    Good/Bad - got one hell of a baby bump already. Good, because I never got this far with my last pregnancy, bad because I haven't had my 12 week scan yet, so not told a lot of folks IRL and it's getting hard to hide. (luckily, only got a week to wait until my scan)

    Good - started putting my Christmas decs up this week. Will hopefully finish putting them up this weekend. (it takes me almost a week to put them up as i have so many... love it!)

    Yeah, I thought we could do a duet on a Mel and Kim song!

    Seriously though, my friend got married earlier this year in Jamaica and because of the ash cloud she ended up having her reception here before her wedding. As she didn't want to wear her wedding dress to it, she bought a red wedding dress to wear instead and I got the DJ to play Lady In Red for her and she found it really funny. I downloaded the song from the Singstore yesterday and I'm going to get her Husband to sing it to her tonight. Ha!

    Nabs - I told Rick we stayed in the same place as him in Bangkok and ate in the restaurant. He was soo lovely! His son is gorgeous too! I saw Genarro do a live demo with James Martin and he was really funny. I don't know if I caught him at a bad time but he seemed grumpy.

    I did get my pic taken with both of them though!

    And Clurr - don't know what you are inferring.. ?

    Do you mind if a newbie joins in?

    Good - we're going down to Swansea tonight to have a lovely meal and drinks out, then to Cardiff tomorrow for H2B to meet up with friends and watch the rugby and for me to go shopping, meet up with a different friend and watch the rugby.

    Bad - we may not make it because of the snow

    Bad - after all of the weekend's activities, H2B is going out on Sunday the minute we get home to meet some other friends, so yet more money spent and pay day is not until Tuesday.

    Good - I sent out hen weekend invitations for my sister this week and hoping to get some replies over the weekend.

    Bad - the boiler in H2B's old house (which is empty and up for sale) has packed in, so we have to get an engineer out which is going to cost £200+?
