Weekly good/bad thread

Little Madam, 4 February, 2011 at 11:17 Posted on Planning 0 41

It's that time of the week again! ?

For me:

Good - it's the weekend we finally go and sort out the reading of OH Banns.

Good - shopping for a new dress for Valentines day either tonight or tomorrow

Good - secured an interview for a job with lots of potential salary wise and although it's not perfect as it's in Newcastle, about 40 mins away from where I will be living, it's a start

Bad - Going to OHs parents this weekend, got to face OHs oldest sister after me and her had a huge row 2 weeks ago and have a feeling his Mom and other sister will be having words with us about it

Bad - OHs dog is very sick with a tumor and will be put down next week so we have to say bye-bye to her.

& finally = Good luck to those getting married this weekend!

    No way! On what grounds? Some people can be so mean and rude.

    Because people like me (meaning tattoos, piercings etc) shouldn't be having kids.

    Yep, the way i look automatically makes me a bad parent. Ignore the fact my son is well behaved (hence the award ?), clean, polite and perfectly cared for, I shouldn't have kids because I choose to dress a bit differently to other people.

    Oh, and apparantly it's disgraceful that "girls" my age are getting pregnant. I'm 25 FFS. ? Take that as a compliment though, i obviously look younger than i am. (unless they meant that i look too young to have a 7 year old aswell)

    @ Ebony - How rude!! Sounds like your son is a huge credit to you, so as you said, who cares what ither people think!

    @ MrsC - if the Banns are both read at the same time does that mean you "miss" one lot being read - how do you know they have been included? As you might figure this is a concern for me.

    We've got to have banns read at two churches. We're not planning on attending them at our local church. We don't worship there and they've been nothing short of dreadful to deal with.
