Please share some good news with me - a little random but life seems a little scary right now and I’ve had a day of bad news and also a lovely headache! I’d love to hear any happy positive news or story’s in your life big or small! to cheer me up so please share good news with me anything at all :)

My severely autistic 21 year old son has been taken into a residential care placement. He now has a studio flat, a garden and a job socialising therapy animals which means that he gets £30 a week extra money. I am so happy for him and very proud.

Good luck with the new job I’m sure you will be great :)

My DS who at primary was considered to be academically challenged and struggled in early years at high school is tonight getting dressed in white tie to attend his College May Ball at Cambridge 😍

I found out that my lovely, kind friend is pregnant. She's mid 30's and met someone last year after being single for so long. I cried when she told me. She's been very career driven but she's always wanted a family. I'm so excited for her.

I’m alive today, I’ve 3 beautiful children and a good husband.
Any thing else is a bonus 🫶

i hope you’re ok 🥰

I sat the last written paper of my med school finals today at the not-insignificant age of 50!

Wonderful! In a similar vein, my daughter attended hers at Jesus college on Monday, after having to take a year out of A-levels due to a diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. I’m in awe of her.

My good news story is of the two young bears, brother and sister Mish and Lucy, who escaped from their enclosure at the wildlife park in Devon and headed straight to the unlocked food store where earlier that day a week's worth of food had been delivered. They devoured most of the delivery - including the honey - before calmly making their way back to their enclosure and promptly falling asleep. Visitors had been quickly led into a secure building and an armed team was on standby if the worst came to the worst, but the bears were only interested in the food. Heartwarming and hilarious. 😂

I’m looking forward to a calmer next year. Just made a clean break from a long-time kinda couple group… 7 of us , we used to see regularly—friends of my husband's originally, through work. It’s been building for a while: constant gossip, low-key toxic vibes, always unloading on others but never really listening. I realised it was starting to take a toll—not just on me, but on him too. The other couple we are close with also hate it, so maybe it will help them say how they feel also.
He’s finally admitted he’s struggled with their behaviour for a while but didn’t want to rock the boat. Classic “if they do it with you, they’ll do it to you” situation. I fronted the decision and he’s relieved, honestly. Already feel lighter. Sometimes the best good news is just choosing calm over chaos.

I just won 2 tickets to a festival thing locally. So my mum and I are going to see The Jacksons, Sister Sledge and Boney M in July.

Haha bless them hope they had a great time 🍴😂

Calm over chaos ❤

We also get a hedgehog visitor, so now hopeful there might be hoglets soon!

DD and DS have both signed contracts for their first solo rentals (well, with their partners but first not-flatmate property).
Our house is full of boxes for the next few weeks, but DS moves in a couple of weeks and DD a week later.
Having all the space back will be lovely, but knowing the DCs are settling into nice grownup flats of their own is priceless.

Thats so lovely ❤️

My mother had an operation today and, thanks to antiobiotics, she will survive.

Antibiotics for the win 🏆

I'm in the middle of loosing weight and the dress I want to wear to my cousins wedding in August that didn't do up a couple of weeks ago did up today! It's still a bit too tight but I feel like that means it will fit perfectly by August.

I was out out for the first time in almost a year on Friday night, and ended up with a bunch of who I thought were strangers but who I knew vaguely ten years ago. Really clicked with one of them and went for coffee with him today. Had great conversation and he's coming to mine next week to raid my Disney+ with me 😁

My friends lovely son with diagnosed asd, who is really struggling in mainstream setting, got his special school place at tribunal. The judge apparently said the L.A was being ridiculous and the whole thing was over in under an hour, so she is understandably feeling very vindicated. Smaller setting and more specialist support, so hopefully he will thrive now. I certainly hope so. He's a great kid.

So some things are looking up

My resilient amazing son who is a 200 butterfly swimmer has been stuck at 2:25 swam a 2:21 at the weekend, I’m immensely proud of him.

Sending healing wishes x

Same 💖

Thank you! It was a minor operation, thanks to - antiobotics!!

People take them for granted.

So many lovely stories on this thread!

I think mine is that I had my annual review with the kidney transplant consultant today and I’m still considered suitable for the list!

My good news my sister got her flat currently landlord selling the house and her 15 yr old is going threw cancer so they can finally move and be safe with it all on 1 floor

@Clarinet1 best of luck to you! I have a friend who is a kidney transplant recipient and it's absolutely transformed her life, she has so much more energy than she had for years
