I'm in a chirpy mood for the first time in a while and thought we could have a bit of a good news Friday! My old work used to do this and I miss it!

  • I passed my probation at my new job today
  • my Nan is on the mend after a weird fainting spell
  • I've got a cosy evening planned catching up on the Traitor with a nice takeaway

Anyone else? ✨

Lovely thread OP.

•I have no school run until next year. I'm elated
•I finally got the credit added to my gas meter that SSE deducted for no reason so I can finally have the heating on
•I have a lot of nibbles to catch up on Harry & Meghan this weekend

SnapCrackleandExplode · 16/12/2022 17:01

Oh sorry also congrats on passing your probation @ErinAndTonic 👏🏽🎉🎉👏🏽🎉👏🏽

Thank you! No school run is an absolute win 😀

That's amazing news considering the time of year as so many employers slow recruitment down in December. Good luck! I'm sure you'll get even more interviews after Christmas too!

Currently waiting for news from Japan of the birth of my first grandchild!

SnapCrackleandExplode · 16/12/2022 17:10

@Chikasan beautiful! Congratulations in advance 🎉🎉🎉

I have finished work until 5 January. For lots of reasons the last three months since my last leave have been one hell of a slog, and I’ve been dealing with some mental health issues too. I’ve been on my knees metaphorically for the past few weeks, but I’m so happy to have crawled over the finish line. Now celebrating with tea and a mince pie and catching up with Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas while I wait for DH to finish work!

SkylightSkylight · 16/12/2022 17:10

@ErinAndTonic 🎉 congratulations 🥂🍾 & great news about your Nan ❤️

lovely news from others!!

me too with the last school run & no more late pickups until next year!!

survived all the fuckwits on the road today!!

& taking very small wins! Bought a star shaped led light star for the kitchen window & it looks good & it's enough light to make a drink etc!!

A friend visited (it took her 4 hours to drive here).
My husband has broken up from work, for 2 weeks.
Just sold a tv for £30.
1 son came round last night, our other son is coming round tomorrow.
We haven't had any snow (or even frost on the pavements)

KitchiHuritAngeni · 16/12/2022 17:15

What lovely news from everyone. Its hard to see past all the doom and gloom lately so this is a lovely idea for a thread.

I got some good news yesterday. My cancer hasn't spread as they initially thought, which is the best present I could have hoped for. Still going to take a while to recover from some treatments I've been having and have my op etc, but really great news, my consultant even pretended to be santa when he told me 🤣

Insaneinthemembraneee · 16/12/2022 17:19

That's fantastic news @KitchiHuritAngeni 😊

Just back from the last day physically in the office for 2022.

Son will flying home from uni this weekend after 3 months away and i simply can’t wait.

Had my annual performance review today and feedback was really good.

And the very best of all DH has just 3 weeks left of cancer treatment and had clear scans this week.

Thistooshallpsss · 16/12/2022 17:55

Our posh sofa bed turned up in time for our visitors and the room looks amazing! We couldn’t go to an outdoor event as grandchild ill but we were able to move the tickets so all good. Congratulations on everyone getting good news especially on the health front and trouts for those whose news isn’t so great.

cptartapp · 16/12/2022 18:05

My MRI scan showed it's 'just' a cyst on my pituitary gland and nothing more sinister.
DS2 had his fourth uni offer today.
DS1 away at uni got his first 'first' for a piece of work. And we collect him tomorrow for Xmas!

IToldYouAmillionTimesAlready · 16/12/2022 19:27

KitchiHuritAngeni Brilliant news!

So lovely to read everyone's good news. It's nice to see a bit of Christmas cheer amongst all the negativity that's so hard to avoid sometimes!

What a good and positive thread OP ❤️

  • I'm on leave till the 3rd Jan now and really looking forward to getting some rest!
  • My 16 month old DD said "love you" for the first time today 🥲🥲
  • I had my annual gel nails mani pedi ahead of my birthday on Sunday 🥳
  • My DH is feeling better from this cold he's had for days 😊
KitchiHuritAngeni · 17/12/2022 11:33

Thank you so much everyone.

I got really into Christmas as a distraction while I was having the tests and then the Christmas spirit sort of disappeared while waiting for the results so I got stuck into the wrapping as a celebration of my good news 🤣

Its great to read everyone else's good news too.

I hope you all have the merriest of Christmases 🎄 🎅
