I have just undergone breast cancer and a mastectony with lymphs nodes. My results are clear. No cancer left. Just 6 months of immunotherapy to go and reconstruction. Life is good

I'm delighted for you !

Oh and my next door neighbour has just delivered a baby! Which is always happy news 😀

Blimey! Mine just brings my parcels round!

😂

My incredibly stroppy middle teen has been curled up on the sofa with me watching movies

Went to our first parents evening for our DD today. She is happy and doing well, I'm very proud of her ☺️

Congrats @Maddy70 - that’s wonderfully positive news 🥳

I think mine is that I may be emerging from a very dark and difficult cloud. I definitely feel a bit lighter and am hopeful that I’m over the worst. Ds and I played some board games in front of the fire this evening while dh was cooking dinner and I felt some contentment.

My other 92 year old neighbours and myself are baking pistachio biscuits tomorrow.
They found an old recipe and we bought the ingredients.

I was given a box of Belgian chocolates today for helping a neighbour.
They are well nice.

I've nothing as meaningful as some of these . However after years of hiding away and hating going out ,although I'll be fine once I'm there. I told myself I have to say yes ( even if I don't want to) been invited to 3 parties and then a fourth but it is on the same night as another one. I accepted them all but then tried to talk myself out of it. But I'm going !

My Autisic, shy, highly anxious 11 year old performed a starring role in her school production tonight. This was a huge deal for her and not something I could have imagined her doing a year or two ago. I'm biased obviously, but she was AMAZING! So proud of her.

TiggeryBear · 19/11/2024 21:29

I got a phone call yesterday to tell me I got the job! I really thought I'd messed up in the interview & that I wouldn't get it, but apparently not!
After an extremely shit year, this has put the most enormous smile on my face.

I am lying in a warm newly made bed! Utter joy.

My 5 year old played 3 notes really beautifully on her recorder today. She's practiced really carefully :)

SkaneTos · 19/11/2024 21:20

I have OCD, and today I managed to do something that my OCD told me this morning I could absolutely not do. It went fine, and I'm so relieved. Looking forward to a good and productive day tomorrow, too!

So happy to read eveyone's good news in this thread!

DonnaSummet · 19/11/2024 21:20

I'm in bed now in fresh sheets, freshly washed pj's, my heavy winter duvet is on and I've got mumsnet and big mug of tea- I feel as snug as a bug in a rug.

WillimNot · 19/11/2024 21:17

My big boss (I'm a landlady of a pub, but have someone I am answerable to at the pub company) came today and I dread it.
I never get told anything positive, I work 18 hour days right now and it's quite demoralising.

However, today he said I was doing "exceptionally well" and takings are "well up". He actually said on the way out to keep up the good work.

I could've fainted.

Maddy70 · 19/11/2024 21:15

Undergone Chemotherapy should have said!

Igotjelly · 19/11/2024 21:07

Just remember that there are far more good people out there than bad, they just don’t make the news as often. They just squirrel away making the world a better place ❤️

I was absolutely freezing today and so finally got round to making hot chocolate with a bit of cornflour added (in the microwave to make it extra simple).

As I’m rubbish in the kitchen I was thrilled that it actually turned out thick, creamy and chocolatey. And really hot.

Hollowvoice · 19/11/2024 20:47

Thanks for this thread. I've been feeling very negative this week (it's only Tuesday!) so also need some positivity.

For me - despite feeling/knowing I've been doing a crap job at work recently I've had some really good/nice feedback in the last week.

FoFanta · 19/11/2024 20:46

Had a lovely dinner with my gorgeous 22 year old niece who I don't get to see very often. She is growing up to be a lovely, kind and witty young woman and it has been one of the joys of my life to be a teeny tiny part of her journey.

CostaDelOrchard · 19/11/2024 20:45

My (vv lazy) 11 month old DD crawled today. Not backwards, she’s decided to skip that part, but forwards towards anything that takes her eye. I was squealing with excitement so she sat up and clapped. I was in tears, safe to say
