My DS has been trying for years to get a new contract for some important work and today he finally signed that contract. Please be happy for me/ him I am not boasting.

What's your good news?

More good news for my D grin
She starts work at a Spa on Monday

Bellanonna Sat 02-Jul-16 09:22:02

She obviously aims high, nina.
Yes anno I have to agree. There were things I couldn't do to begin with, but now can. It's amazing how your balance improves too, and that's important at our age. Long live Pilates.

I think it's great news that Wales won last night. I'd love to see a Wales v Iceland final.

Power to the underdogs wine

Yes Bella I was so pleased, she however was beating herself up over the fact one element was just a pass.
Silly girl.

My Pilates class seems to be paying dividends. After four weeks, I am able to do exercises that I couldn't even attempt at the beginning. Still a long way to go but I'm feeling stronger and more supple. Long may it last.

Bellanonna Fri 01-Jul-16 10:04:30

Wow Nina, you must be very proud of her.

KatyK Fri 01-Jul-16 10:01:52

Thank you Bella

KatyK Thu 30-Jun-16 17:44:53

Oo thank you Bella I've never been before. I would offer to squeeze you into my suitcase but I fear it will be stuffed full smile

After a few days of ice coldness on FB from my lovely daughter post you-know-what- we shared a little joke last night in Franglais about Versailles - thawing I hope.

We did get away despite my husbands last minute injury. I've missed all the Who har about brexit. I'm pretending all is well...for now. Ignorance is blisssmile

DD called to say she has passed her stage 5 CIPD exam. SI pleased for her. She is a working Mum and can now have a break from studying.

auntie, that is good news indeed. Breakfast out today, just love it, the weather forecast tells me to expect warm-ish and dry, the family are all well, I have some energy - all good smile.

Bellanonna Wed 29-Jun-16 18:11:29

Auntie - great news!

Bellanonna Wed 29-Jun-16 18:11:03

Katy, Madeira is lovely! All those flowers in public places! Enjoy. I'd like to come with you!

Bellanonna Wed 29-Jun-16 18:10:20

Just been to ENT dept at local hospital. Have been quite ill this year and went deaf in one ear. Hearing now ok and a probe up the nose and into my throat showed I didn't have anything unpleasant in that area despite croaky voice. Felt relieved. Told my hearing ok for my age! Dd1 back from a lovely trip to Yellowsrone with her 3 year old and popped round to tell us all about it. He was ecstatic about all the wildlife he'd seen. Lucky little boy.

KatyK Wed 29-Jun-16 18:02:37

We are going to Madeira next week smile

Auntieflo Wed 29-Jun-16 17:27:06

We've just heard from GS that he got a first in his Maths degree. If that isn't good news, I don't know what is.

grannyactivist Wed 29-Jun-16 17:21:59

Oh blast - I didn't spot this thread had been resurrected. I've just put up a new post with my good news here: www.gransnet.com/forums/charities/1227426-A-little-celebration

Greyduster Wed 29-Jun-16 17:05:40

My neice's cancer hasn't spread and the surgeon is hopeful that surgery to remove the very small tumour should do the trick. She looked so much more relaxed today and I am beside myself with relief smile.

DanniRae Wed 29-Jun-16 16:57:03

Just been to podiatrist and had my awful toe nails cut - AAh, comfortable again grin

annsixty Tue 28-Jun-16 10:15:41

Is the good news that you slept well anno ? smile

annodomini Tue 28-Jun-16 09:57:26

Good morning all. I overslept and am just coming to! Luckily it doesn't matter as my calendar looks a bit bare today. Let's hope it doesn't rain on Wimbledon.
