Good News Thread

[BusyBee]

Following on from ROB's idea on another thread, here's my input for today.

My ray of light came today when I finally put the finishing touches to the preparations for a particularly messy divorce hearing. When the huge parcel was finally delivered to the barrister, I sat down had a large cup of tea and actually saw the surface of my desk for the first time this week.

Also I am just about to go out with the 'girls' for a small drink down the local pub.:thumbs::thumbs:

[Janette]

My good news today is that I have not smoked for three weeks now and I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

:thumbs:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Well, I think I already gave mine, but here's another one.............

I am going to remaster my pc and hopefully if it works all will be well again in ROB's little world.

If not, it's been nice knowing you, and there's a glass of red wine waiting downstairs for me!!:hello::thumbs::hello:

[LEE]

Well my 4th row tickets to see Darius in Hammersmith arrived this morning, so I'm a very happy bunny. :hugesmile:

:hello::hello::hello:

[sweetlittlesara]

Am happy cos i have very nearly persuaded my parents to let me go to v2003 and have also very nearly got backstage tickets there for rhcp! :dance::dance::dance:

[Kaz]

I know what V2003 is, Sara . . . . . but can you tell me what rhcp is??? :conf:

Sorry - probably showing my age here!! :blush:

:wavey:

[Romantic Old Bird]

I think it's RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!!

And I am so old it's unbelievable.

I think they are fan-bloody-tastic!!:hello:

[Janette]

A friend of mine saw the Chilis 2 days ago and she said they were absolutely awesome!

You'll have a great time Sara


:thumbs:

[sweetlittlesara]

I saw them on sunday and they were amazing!!! soz i am a huuuge fan! :shocked::blush:

[Romantic Old Bird]

My good news is that it's Friday!

That's about all I can summon up, but have to say Comic relief night looks great (except for seeing b****y Jade on CDS)

Dawn French as Harry Potter looks exactly like me with my new haircut - not sure if that's good news or not!

[Boris]

great (except for seeing b****y Jade on CDS)

It's OK Rob she never showed so you are OK !:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Princess Pink Pants]

My good news is that I got the results of 2 exams I did in January, I thought I'd done really bad but I got an A and a C! And the uni I wanna go to only wants me to get C's, so I should be ok!

[Janette]

Well done PPP, that is great news!

Cheers Janette! Do U no wot got me realy excited tho? The realisation that getting an A means I dont have to repeat the exam! YAY!

Ive still gotta work hard tho coz Im not completely sure wot uni I wanna go to, Im going to look round Bournemouth in a couple of weeks, so I'll be walkin in the footsteps of a certain Mr Clarke! :bouncy:

[Boris]

Well DOne PPP.

I am all in favour of not taking exams again !:hugesmile:

[Stu xxx]

I got into the pr course that i wanted to do at UNI xxx

Well done PPP, and whilst you are there, try not to become dissipated and in debt! I am sure it's not on the curriculum, but seemed to be de riguer for my sons.

Apparently Bournemouth isn't as respectable, dull and dedicated to Saga louts as we have been led to believe. Mr C seemed to have a blast there anyway!

SJ, well done on the PR course too! I have to say I prefer the use of the CAPITAL in this particular abbreviation, because, as a nurse, the letters pr almost had me reaching for the rubber gloves and the suppository!

I'll let you know any good news that comes my personal way as the day progresses..............

[Princess Pink Pants]

Ive got friends at Bournemouth uni and Ive already been to visit them so I know Bournemouth is cool!

But because Ive got mates there, I dont think I really wanna go there, coz the whole point of going to uni is to go somewhere new where you dont know anyone, so I probably wont go to Bournemouth, but I'm gonna have a look!

[BusyBee]

pr must be pretty common abbreviations used by a lot of people. As far as I'm concerned it means Parental Rights or Parental Responsibilities for unmarried fathers.

Any advances on what pr stands for??

Well done to everyone - we've got some clever clogs on our site havent we.

[Stu xxx]

well in PR as in Public Relations or Press Relations xxx

[Di2001]

I'm pleased to see that a pair of blue tits are interested in our bird box in the garden. We've been lucky to have "occupants" for the past two years - it would be nice to have them again for a third year. (I like my bird and wildlife, can you tell?!)

In fact, this picture still makes me go aaaahhhhh ......

It still makes me want to give it a little nudge!


:laugh:

[James]

You've got to ask yourself how it got up there in the first place. :hugesmile:

Someone must have put it on that flower.

It could hardly have clambered up there on its own, could it? :laugh:

:hugesmile:

[Janette]

Back to the good news


Graeme's tests have all come back clear, so we've been told to put the pains down to being muscular skeletal (growing pains.)

The doctor thinks that the pains will just go of their own accord in time.

BTW, Graeme's grown another inch! He's now 5'8"

:shocked:

I just thought, animal rights issues and all that.

No-one agree?

:laugh::laugh:

[Kaz]

Quote from the original article on the Sun Online:

WAKEY wakey, petal! Sleepy the baby dormouse curls up on a daffodil as spring-like weather slowly stirs him from his winter hibernation.

The dozy mite was placed on the flower by staff at the Secret World rescue centre near Taunton, Somerset.

They have been caring for Sleepy and his brother and sister Stretch and Yawn since they were found abandoned under a hedge last autumn.
So no animal cruelty involved, I'm happy to report. :laugh:

P.S. Great news about Graeme's test results, Janette. I'm so pleased to hear that everything's OK. :thumbs:

5'8"!!!!! :shocked: What on earth are you putting in his tea????? :spin2:

[Romantic Old Bird]

I've got some news.
.................................................. .................................................. ..................................

I will keep you in suspense for a while though!:spin:

[Di2001]

Oh ROB this sounds interesting!

How long have we got to wait?!

:spin:

[LEE]

In fact, this picture still makes me go aaaahhhhh ......
And the cynic in me just thinks that someone produced it in 'PhotoShop Pro'

[Romantic Old Bird]

I think it's wonderful news and not wanting to steal anyone's thunder but I'm also going to be a Granny again in July. My daughter had a little girl last July and this July it's my son's turn. Their first baby is due on July 26th. I can't wait, especially as this will be my first grandson.:xyxwave:


Lots of love, ROB, aren't we clever? XXXXX

CONGRATULATIONS PEACHY - WELL DONE


Who is going to be the 3rd Granny to Be????

Are they going to be logged in as new members?

Can you imagine in a few years time a TV programme showing footage of this old Reality TV programme called BB2. Are the grannies going to own up to their small interest in the programme????

Or would it be a case of :blush::blush: if they found the videos etc and asked what they were?
CONGRATULATIONS PEACHY - WELL DONE

[Romantic Old Bird]

I wonder if they can be prevailed upon to give them suitable names......

How about Bowden for a boy? Rob:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Good idea Rachb. I'll tell them it's an old traditional Dutch name. They'll like that. I think I could swing this one...........:laugh:

[BusyBee]

Its nearly Bowden's first birthday:hugesmile:

Think that might call for a little story ROB or at least a visit to his birthday party.

Now what could we get him as a present?:elephant::elephant:

[Boris]

I wish I could knit !! I can just about manage knit one pearl one !!

I can di better than that Di, I can knit one, pearl one ,drop two !!!!

[Becky S]

Hi everyone, I'm glad to see that you are all okay! Congratulations to ROB!

As this is the good news thread I thought I would share mine! I have finally split up with my partner, who some of you may remember was a beep(!) to be when I was pregnant with our daughter (who is nearly 1). We have been seperated for a few months now & I have met a very nice young man who just happens to be my first ever boyf, back when I was 14! He is the complete opposite to my ex and it is going really well.

Sorry if there are loads of mistakes in this message but I cant see what I am typing as I have got the internet on digital tv and its rubbish!

[Romantic Old Bird]

WELCOME BACK DEMON!

It's nice to have you back with us once again.

Hi Demon. :wavey:

It's great to hear from you again, and I completely echo miriam's sentiments - I'm delighted that you have found a lovely man, and hope all goes well for you from now on.

Welcome back! :thumbs:

[peachy]

Hi Demon, I can't believe your daughter is nearly one! I'm so pleased that you are happy and life is getting easier for you. Welcome back, it's lovely to hear from you.:xyxwave:

[LEE]

Hi Demon :wavey:

Lovely to see you back again. I remember the tales of your unfeeling partner when you were pregnant and I'm really pleased you've managed to move on and find someone nicer and who treats you well.

Are you the Demon who's just registered on Devotees :hugesmile:

[Becky S]

The one and only!!

Glad to find some other Darius fans as I don't know anyone else who likes him.

[LEE]

I've been driving everyone mad on here recently cos I am a bit obssessed :hugesmile:

If you go and look at my answer to your post on the tour thread you started you'll see what I mean :blush:

[Becky S]

Cor, yes please!I've been driving my Mum bananas today by playing his album, she's not exactly a fan!My daughter is though, she dances to his music and 'talks' to my poster of him. She may well be the youngest Darius fan!

[LEE]

No sooner said than done :hugesmile:

I have loads of pics so if you would prefer a diff one please let me know :thumbs:

she dances to his music and 'talks' to my poster of him

Thanks LEE, the pictures lovely. In fact the only way it could be better is if it was a rude one!!!

[LEE]

I'm sure I could find you one of those Demon, but then I'd have to ban myself for posting it. :laugh:

I'll let you off!

Have you heard of the "Granny's Boasting Books" that you can get? They are little photo albums that you can carry around with you to show off your grandchildren to anyone who enquires! My mum has one and it's got loads of pictures of Maddie and Harvey (my nephew) on there.

I like the idea of this thread. Can I play??

1. The sun has been shining for over a week!

2. I've got my mower back AND the grass is mown.

3. The Rangie is serviced (bless)

4. New carpet in what used to be my dining-room, and the new oak bureau and bookcase is in

5. My little boat "Rosee Lee" has had her bottom done in red, and is ready for the water,

6. I've finally got my digital camera producing results worth the name

All I need now is ............:love:

I was finding hard to think of some good news for you today, but I have just got away from the horrid TV for a couple of hours and walked by the river, looking at the swans and geese, and the children playing happily in the sunshine.

So, despite my sad last few days, I am feeling a lot brighter.


Splodge, with a red bottom, you are bound to attract the ladies - especially in the primate enclosure at Regent's Park.....

And Kaphc, Maddy is absolutely beautiful!
