Good news thread

And you'd have to pay excess baggage! Have a great holiday !

D has today passed her NVQ3 beauty tech theory with 2 merits 3 distinctions and a pass

Thank you Bella

Wow Nina, you must be very proud of her.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Anya I don't do football but I too was pleased at the Welsh victory and I'm English

Day out in Liverpool and theatre this evening (Romeo and Juliet) with GD (aged 12). What a wonderful treat.
Very well done to your GD nina.
I might look for a Pilates class Bella, you have given me inspiration.

We've won £500 on the Premium Bonds!!!!!

DH got the date through for his hearting aid to be fitted - the day before granddaughter's wedding!!

My youngest grandchild is 1. Sorry I can't post a photo because she is so cute but her daddy doesn't allow photos of his children to be posted on any social networking sites. Off to make sandwiches for the party.

Teetime - I hope he uses it! DH refuses to so I'm still saying things twice (at least).

This week I wrote some poems and read them to people who liked them.
Yesterday DS (almost 40) did his first triathlon. Hadn't been on a bike for 20 years and wasn't a good swimmer 2 months ago. He and DP also bought their first house this week.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.

Elrel a good week for your family.
Lucky you KatyK

Now you'll be getting a best friend PM KatyK. (Will make sense if you've seen the other thread).

Thank you Bella - no begging letters accepted Yes I've seen the other thread. Perhaps I should have kept news of my impending wealth to myself!

Off to Iceland ( the country ) tomorrow. Our Ruby wedding gift to each other .

Amazing place Ginny. Lots of daylight. Some really weird lunar-type landscapes. I've been twice as I wanted to see it once more. Be prepared for it to be expensive and take some warm clothing. I gather they play good football too!

Iceland, how marvellous! I'd love to go there, have a great time ginny. We recently had a holiday in Islay, I loved the amazing evening skies. It's pouring here today in West Yorkshire but the good news is my experiment with chalk painting a tatty old coffee table is shaping up nicely!

It's cold and wet!

That's Iceland

My dad spent months in Iceland during the war.
Despite the timing he loved the landscape.

Enjoy !
