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?

The Vitamin D tablets the doctor recently prescribed for the other half seem to be working, he managed to cut the grass in one go yesterday (we do not have a lot), and then cleared up after himself. He felt tired afterwards but not worn out.

Good news Dramatic have you started your exercises yet ?

dramatictessa Fri 24-Jun-16 00:39:58

Had my third x-ray and don't need an operation on my broken arm. Huge relief - now the hard work begins getting the full movement back.

I had breakfast with two of my best friends and have spent a happy afternoon cross stitching. Oh and the sun was shining!

I bought three pairs of summer trousers. 2 sizes smaller since I have lost 2 1/2 stone.

GandTea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:23:21

Not so good news, one of my bees stung me today, now I can't move my finger. Somewhat surprised that they haven't stung me before.

GandTea Tue 21-Jun-16 21:12:13

Went to our dance lesson tonight (rumba) , and for a change it went well, tutor is starting to get picky now, worrying about our hands as well as our feet, multitasking confused. Will we remember it by our next lesson on Thursday ?
Waving our arms about,trying to look sexy (which if you've seen my posts re boxers & string vest, could be a step too far)

My sewing machine came back after it's first service( in 15 years )as good as new and I've made a cushion and nearly finished a quilt.

annodomini Tue 21-Jun-16 19:07:40

GA, that's wonderful news. You must be so proud of your son. And, come to think of it, he has a wonderful mum too.

rosesarered Tue 21-Jun-16 19:05:39

Also, I hope your DH appreciates being called The Wonderful Man......the only husband on the forum who is! smile

rosesarered Tue 21-Jun-16 19:04:03

Great news for you GA and it is great to have our grown up children living locally.

grannyactivist Tue 21-Jun-16 18:57:54

Our eldest son just sent me a text to say that he has been fast-tracked for promotion in his firm and has been given the senior manager's position that he expected to work another 5-10 years for!!

I am so pleased because he could have gone to work in London for one of the big financial firms, but chose instead to live and work locally and now it's really paid off for him.

I'm so glad this thread exists because The Wonderful Man isn't home yet (he's been away) and I wanted to tell someone. smile

Liz 46, I can empathise with you. I love your comment about being penniless by end of the day. We went into buy a sound book for our 6 month old granddaughter ( a miracle IVF baby, we have waited 12 yrs for) and spent nearly £40 on books etc. I am so glad to hear your granddaughter is on the mend, the wee lamb.

Evertheoptimist Mon 20-Jun-16 17:48:52

<gandtea> and <katyk> Sorrento is exceeding all my expectations!
Mr Ever is having a snooze and I'm enjoying a large glass of white on the balcony overlooking the Bay of Naples. I'm in heaven!!!!!

Jane10 Mon 20-Jun-16 13:12:58

Sounds good Mildred

GandTea Mon 20-Jun-16 10:00:33

Good news today -- we are all going to the zoo, bad news, it's chucking it down, so we may be getting wet.
