Lovely thread ❤️

I’m going to look at a kitten tomorrow.

I've got my book up for pre-order! I've been working on it for years and I'm finally publishing it. I'm so excited!

After much deliberation we’ve got family visiting this weekend and DD is so happy. It’s been really hard for her this year as had so much cancelled due to to covid and was really upset at thought of this being cancelled too.

@CrystalMaisie we will medicinally require pictures

And @prettyflutterby congratulations!!!

Bump!! @Borisjohnsonshairbrush gutted that this thread didn't carry on

I can add another positive.. I had my booster today and I managed to get my 17 yr old to have his first jab. We did have to wait over 2 hours after our appointment!!

It's ok.

I'm in Thailand but an anxious mess again now. So anymore shiney happy positive posts please xx

I have one to add.

My daughter lives and works in New Zealand. I haven't seen her for a very long time (over three years) due to cancelled trips during the pandemic. She loves receiving parcels so I packed up her Christmas gifts as usual and posted them. I knew the post was slow at present so went for 'Global Priority' (supposed to be 4-6 days) on 1 December.

Tracking has shown it as 'prepared for export' at the 'International Hub' since 2 December. Nothing to show it had actually left the UK at all, no mention of arrival or customs. No news when chased up with Parcelforce either.

Anyway, today it has popped up in NZ and is out for delivery! So she will receive her gifts in time for Christmas.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August. Have been going through treatment over the last few months and finished my last radiotherapy a week ago.
I am NED (no evidence of disease) and the genetic test done on the tumour came back with a very low score meaning I have a very low risk of distant recurrences.
It was great to get it all out of the way before Christmas.
I am really tired so we will have a very quiet Christmas to celebrate.
It’s been a black cloud over the whole family but hopefully clear skies are ahead.

I finished work today for Christmas.
it will be the first time in 6 years that I've been able to book annual leave and can spend the time solely with DS7.

No having to log on or head into the office until NYE.

For the last few weeks my DDad has been very seriously ill and has almost died 3 times. This afternoon he phoned me from the hospital to say that the latest treatment option they've tried seems to have done the trick and he's not dying any more.

My dd has just received an achievable university offer from her first choice university. Really good positive end to the year and a real relief. .

(By the way, that wasn’t a boasty post, it was a Thank F*ck post)

My son got married on Saturday-it was perfect 🤩

We’re at the airport and just about to board a flight to see family. DS (3.5) has been an absolute star and is charming everyone in his little Santa outfit. All on time so far and grandad is picking us up at the other end. Can’t wait to have a family Christmas and skiing new year!

This thread really cheered me up! My lovely DP has worked 6 sometimes 7 days a week, anything between 9-12 hours a day for over a year with 1 or 2 days off holiday (self employed). Today he finished up until the 6th of January and my 2 year old DS is absolutely loving having daddy home and calm. He has also cracked on and helped me get the house ready for Christmas. Merry Christmas all xx

I've managed to finally sort the spare room out, now sat with a gin with tea ready waiting for DP to get home. Feeling happy

Not sure what happened to my last post on*@Borisjohnsonshairbrush thread went..but wow!! That's some positivity!! Congratulations @Angrymum22 and @TawnyPippit this is a positive/happy thread so don't apologise!! @Borisjohnsonshairbrush* you will be fine!! I can update mine, I started my first job in 11 years today!! It went really well and the manager hopes they extend my contract!!

@DMCWelshcakes that is bloody fantastic!! What an amazing Christmas present x

@Cantgetgoing I need to sort every room !!

We were given a lovely sofa but it was too small. We bought a new one which was delivered the other day and we gave the old lovely one to a parent from DDS school who was delighted as her one was broken. Two happy families.

@EventOfTheSeason it's the little things that help isn't it?!

I’ve just picked up an email to say an interview I’d given up on, I’m actually being their t preferred candidate and they’re putting together an offer for me. Am slightly in shock and also it’s 2am here (couldn’t sleep) so I can’t tell anyone IRL. 😊

Stuck in for a covid Christmas. The sheer number of random people who have offered help with shopping et. has been heartwarming.
A fried dropped a care package at the door, with some fresh bread, and all the ingredients for a cream tea. She knew I can still taste things. I was so touched at her thoughtfulness I had a cry. Lots of good people out there.

I am expecting a baby girl in February. Her name will be Rose.
