Bad - "friend" who (remember her from a much earlier post?) was being offish with me sent me an upsetting email - selfish, accusatory and defensive in equal parts. However, because of A's health issues I couldn't give a flying fandango. No emotional energy to deal with THAT!

Good - lots going on in village this weekend for the Jubilee.

And best of all.... it's our first anniversary on Monday!!

Enjoy your long weekend ladies.

Cheers OB. This is exactly what i am doing. Twonk! (her, not you!!)

?? for Tricks and AC

Firstly, what OB said about your 'friend'.

Secondly, I've been invited to a street party in Cranbrook on Tuesday. Apparently there's going to be jazz and stuff.

Hope everything is ok Tricks.

All good for me this week which makes a change.

12 week scan was really good but I have to go back for another scan next week as they couldn't do all the measurements. Get to see baby again so definitely a bonus! ?

Off to the cinema tonight with my lovely cousin.

It was payday yesterday!!

Obviously the long weekend...

There is a one bad - I've been put on an emergency tax code so wages were a bit short but I'll get I back eventually and probably at a time when I'll need I more than I do now!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

Bad - had a shocking week at work. Thoroughly p!ssed off with quite a few work related matters.

Good - it's Friday

Good - it's a long weekend

Good - next week is a short working week

Bad - my car has cost me over £400 in repairs in the last 2 weeks, and over £550 in the last couple of months.

Bad - my car account, for such expenses, doesn't cover it

Good - it's my hen party tomorrow!

Good/Bad - this means I only have 6 weeks until the wedding!

Cranbrook is 10 mins away from me. If you get fed up with the posh people there (ahem) come and slum it in Staplehurst. We have Abba and Queen tribute bands, a "patriotic" concert with flag waving and a funfair! And other stuff too.

My hairdresser, bank and dentist are in Cranbrook, so can't be too jealous snobby about it!

Good- Have pretty much hit my target at work

Good- I have 11 days off work now

Good: reception details and prices all finalised

Good: Sh!tty boiler we've had since we moved in has finally been condemned and we're getting a new one!

Good: Haircut for the first time in over 2 years, feel much better about myself now and it's long enough for the up-do I want

Bad: First week of the month is always a skint one as the majority of the big bills go out for the month and it comes out of a weekly wage

Bad: catching the sun over the past week or so has left me with a rather horrid looking brown line above my top lip, looks like a coffee moustache! ?

Bad: No money to buy concealer this week to attempt to cover it!

❤️ for AC and Tricks, hope all is ok?!

Apologies for the wedding content but in case you weren't sure, I get married a week today!!

? for AC and Tricks.

GOOD: I had yesterday and today off work

BAD: a family friend's son died unexpectedly on Monday. Very sad. He was only 52 and leaves his partner and two sons behind.

GOOD: only upside of the above was that it really showed how we can all rally together in times of need.

GOOD: Red Barry's hen do tomorrow!

BAD: I'm hoping her friends don't think I'm a man in drag due to my OTT make-up.

GOOD: despite a horrendous start to the week, I'm focusing on the positives. Give your loved ones an extra squeeze and never go to bed on an argument.

That's all from me, have a fabulous weekend chaps!

Bad: Had an awful couple of days at work.

Bad: The ward sister made a complaint about me to my manager.

Good: My manager agreed with me that I hadn't done anything wrong.

Firstly, big ? and ? to everyone for their bad bits of the week. Sounds like there's been some really pooey stuff going on for some.

Bad - H went back to work on Monday so I've been on my own with all four kids this week
Good - we all survived! And now H is off work 'til Wednesday plus my mum arrives on Monday to stay for the week so I'll have a lot more help.
Bad - baby T seems to have discovered the power of being really grumpy all evening, so that's been a challenge too
Good - lots of lovely plans to see H's family this weekend for Jubilee/MIL's birthday festivities (I'm told there will be BBQ tomorrow, huzzah!)

Not much else going on. This week has mainly been about me trying to get used to having four kids without losing my mind!

Good: A 4 day weekend, woop ?.

Bad: Still having problems with my wisdom teeth, boo.

Good: Booked our wedding cars and paid deposits yesterday.

Bad: Skinto due to a mistake with wages..ffs

Good: Im off work until next Thurs!

Good: Lost 4lbs so far this week ?

Since this is the first Good/Bad thread since 19th May, I better start with:

Good - Am a Mrs!

Bad - Back from HM

Bad - My Mum's being weird

Good - Am still a happy bunny

Bad - Having issues at work
