Good NewsThought I'd start a thread where we can share all the good news, not just about ourselves ... but other things we hear about too ...
One rule: no sniping. (Whoever could I mean??)
My first piece of good news ... is the wee girl who has been missing for three weeks has been found ... alive. Though what she's been through we'll find out in due course ... it's great that she's alive ... and back with her family!

Excellent idea Blackadder.
Yes the news about the wee lass is fantastic, but I expect what she has been through will have done a great deal of permanent damage. Loads of counselling will be required to help her get over her terrible ordeal, God bless her.

I woke up this morning. As far as I'm concerned that's good news, cos I'm not ready to kick the bucket yet! Not for yonks!
|
mairead
|
Well the sun is out again today and I'm aboout to take advantage of that.
|
Blackadder
|
Seems to me you're always looking for that!

good news I've lost a kilo (and no smart comments BA)
bad news it's taken me a bloody month to do it 
|
Blackadder
|
1 kilo = 2.2 lbs for those of you who are as old as Carol.
I'm not going to make fun of you. Your *magnificent* effort speaks for itself!

 BA hey I'd just mastered pounds and stones at school, couldn't quite master the transfer to metric!
|
Blackadder
|
Google for an Imperial to metric conversion table, Carol.
Plus 2.2 lbs is the weight of a bag of sugar.
|
carol
|
takes me to master google
|
Blackadder
|
What????
|
carol
|
well slight exaggeration, although I do admit to being pretty thick when it comes to computers
|
Blackadder
|
Yeah ... I think we all worked that out before you did!
|
carol

can't excel myself at everything

My books arrived from the States this morning! That's my good news!
|
mairead
|
My new curtains arrived today as wee, so that's good for me.

my darling 23 year old daughter passed her driving test this morning (first attempt) I might get more visits now
|
Blackadder
|
My children never visit me! Now THAT'S good news!!!
|
carol

does no-one love you BA?
good news - getting a new bathroom suite fitted this weekend. replacing the bath with a walk in shower, although the present bath isn't used as much as the overhead shower, I think it will be missed when it gets dumped 
bad news - the upheaval all weekend!!! was meant to happen last weekend when the boys were at their dads, unfortunately the plumber was delayed. so juggling neighbours toilets for all the boys, and family members shower just to accommodate the 15 year old who takes a daily shower lasting up to an hour
when it comes to poodle parlours my 3 older boys (4yr old isn't quite there yet) would beat their older sisters any day!!

Well, I appear to be going on a date with a rather charming fellow at some point next week... that's the best news I've had for ages!
|
carol
|
candelit dinner macnumpts?
hey best of luck, hope things go well for you both
|
macnumpty
|
Nah, just a drink somewhere in town I'd imagine. He's barking mad, like me, so it'll probably be a laugh, if nothing else.
|
carol
|
didn't realise you were barking mad  as mischief as a pup no doubt!
|
Blackadder
|
Madness makes the world go better!
|
carol
|
I must be missing something then
|
Blackadder
|
Sever thousand braincells I think!
|
carol
|
don't think I need you to tell me that BA 
|
Blackadder
|
You're right. I should think it's pretty much commonly known be everybody!
|
carol
|
not quite, although more credible than a pseudo

You have no idea what you wrote means, have you?
