Mumsnet Talk

I'm feeling very down today, work is going badly, looks like the budget is going to cost me between £666 and £1866 a year in child care costs, i'm tired because my DS woke a lot in the night with a sore throat and I feel like a crap Mum for having to send him to nursery when really he wanted to stay at home and have a cuddly Mummy day. So can you all tell me your good news and happy things so I feel like there is some good in the world today? Maybe it will shift my black cloud a bit.

nobody has any good news? Maybe things are even worse than I thought.

I apparently saved £1.62 at Tescos compared to shopping at Asda Sainsburies or Morrisons.
They even gave me a ticket to frame

Will that do?

better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick DeWe Thanks

The two little ones I look after are playing together for a change. All peaceful instead of our usual constant arguing, squabbling, shouting, pushing..

I'm really enjoying today!

Hmmm. My DD told me earlier that I am "the loveliest mummy in this house". I think that's a compliment!

The daffs I bought at the supermarket yesterday have bloomed and are cheering up my hallway.

My dog weed on me and his groomer!!! Little shit ;-)

I sort of know how you feel.

Also in a black cloud mood and this grey weather isn't helping.

Fried my brand new £500 laptop yesterday. Scraped the car down a brick wall too.

Forgot an important work call I had booked in because I was settling DS2 into playgroup. Colleagues not pleased (understandably).

Need some good news or funny stories. Just feeling a bit shit really.

It sucks doesn't it.

I'm getting a puppy! He's only 5 weeks old and still has that lovely milky puppy breath smell.

He's got squat little bandy legs like small puppy have and walks along clumsily tripping over things. I can't wait until he's 8 weeks and we can bring him home

I'm exhausted and skint (seem termites not to dip into puppy fund that I've been saving for him) and I have decided that I really don't like my job or my colleagues but when I think of his little fluffy loveliness I get a warm fuzzy heart

What puppy are you getting?

My DS (16 months) is coming on in leas and bounds with his words this always cheers me up he now says baby and points at himself we now call the unborn baby 'other one baby' so he can still be baby -it's confusing but lovely.

He's a Heinz 57.

A little fluffy ball of cream curly hair and black beady eyes and a sniffy nose.

What's a Heinz 57

Oh and congratulations by the way!

I love my job, even though i didnt get into uni I am not upset as I love my job. My dd has caught up at school and noone is worried about her anymore, my lovely friend does not have cancer, my washing is on the line, these obviousyl vary in importance.

I got my university assignment score back & got 90% despite me writing it in the middle of a truly shit week that only another single parent to 3 monsters could appreciate. I really thought I'd messed it up.

Well done mrsmindcontrol that's a really good mark, you should be very pleased with yourself!

Umm,good news....oh,oh!

DP has finally relented agreed that we can try for DC3!!

I'm excited and shite scared at the same time <wibble>

My baby group raised £388.11 for clic Sargent and I paid it into their bank this afternoon.

PS congratulations friggfrigg!

The local paper says Daniel Craig (and Rachel) are househunting round here. This may not be real or tangible but it makes me smile.

I've just won tickets to a ladies day complete with topless male waiters. Who's coming with me?
