To blatantly use you all to sound off about something nice?

[Welshmaenad]

I went on a date today, and it was lovely.

I've had a really shit few years. Really shit. Had my heart broken, become chronically ill, just had loads of crap going on. Had given up hope of finding anybody lovely who would look past all my medical issues and see me for who I was, and be interested in that person. But today I had a coffee date, and it was brilliant, and I didn't want to leave to pick the kids up. And we're having lunch on Thursday. And even if things don't pan out, I would very happily be friends with him, he's really funny and thoughtful.

Squee.

Sorry, as you were. Just a bit of niceness on a Tuesday.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

Congratulations!! 2020 has started brilliantly for you, hope you'll keep us posted on how things are going!

This is the nicest thread! Congrats OP and here's to lots of love in 2020

Your thread has really made me smile, OP! Congratulations on your new job and well done on finding a great bloke.
Hope your health is ok. Don't forget to ask for any reasonable adjustments you need at work then go wow them!.
Chuffed to bits for you! X

Thank you all. It's all coming up Maenad in 2020!

Delighted for you!

Love this thread! How's things going with the bloke?

Wow, what a great thread.

I felt like this when I met my husband, just totally battered by stress and divorce and with no clue anyone would want me. Date number one made me realise how lovely and thoughtful he was.

And the job! Amazing, I'm so happy for you. I love it when good things come to good people.

@ItsNovemberNotChristmas honestly he's just lovely. Thoughtful in a way that really means something. Like, he'll plan a date and before he's pitched it to me he's looked up the accessibility info and got a handle on how easy it will be for me (I'm mobility impaired) and what I can eat (I'm vegan, just to be an extra pain in the arse) to the extent of emailing to ask for allergy info on the nachos at the cinema he wanted to take me to. He understands the importance of regularly feeding and caffeinating me for best results.

Also he's awesome in bed. Fabulous.

Amazing!

Why am I crying that a stranger got a job on mumsnet? 😂As a fellow spoonie, I’m chuffed for you and know how meaningful it can be to feel like you’re still contributing to society through working.

Op, these things come in threes so I suggest your next stop is at a Euromillions outlet

So happy for you OP!! And huge congrats on the job! Best post I've read on mn for a while!!! Hope you have a fantastic 2020!

Fab thread OP, I’m delighted for you!
Fab new man and fab new job - go you! 🥂🍾

Oh this is the loveliest thread I've ever read on MN! Congratulations on all fronts OP. Hope your wonderful year continues.

This thread is ace! Congrats on the job, and on finding someone so lovely!

How lovely! Hope your 2020 only improves 😁 thanks for cheering us all up with your news!

Wrong smiley! Sorry!

Hi OP, read your posts and updates and want to say you made my day. So happy for you and wishing you all the best with the new job and new man in 2020.

You're all lovely. Thank you for sharing my joy!

I reckon I've already got my three as I had surgery in Dec to remove cataracts (caused by the treatment for my condition) and being able to see clearly and drive safely again has been an utter delight.

This is a wonderful thread. Congrats OP. I hope 2020 continues to be a great year for you. X

I just had to post to say how lovely to read such a happy positive posts. I am sitting on a train smiling at it

Good for you OP Hope things continue to go well for you and YANBU to blatantly use us all as long as we can live vicariously through your thread

I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss your thread until now given how I spend FAR too much time on here!

I know you’ve had a really hard time of things, so I’m even more pleased for you that things are going so well - nice bloke & a good job... what a fabulous start to the new decade!! 🌷💕
