Notso Brilliant results, congratulations to the twins!

greatnan Don't feel guilty for feeling happy, it is human to gradually recover,and I'm doing the same.

Hope your ankle settles down soon Nfk. Love the idea of your club...AARGH! I don't have any aged relatives but I know plenty of younger moaning minnies!

Notso - those are really excellent results, no wonder you are proud.

My sister calls me 'Pollyanna' and once told me that my 'unremitting cheerfulness' was depressing! I sometimes forget that I have lost my daughter and even feel guilty for being so happy when I remember.

It was three quarters full when I set out this morning to walk DD's dog who's staying with us while DD is on holiday. It was half full after I'd spoken to my mother on the phone (it usually goes down then) and it's a quarter full now since I put my ankle in a hole and sprained it and am now sitting with a bag of ice on an ankle too swollen to walk far.

But it's still a glass a quarter full, not three quarters empty. After all I didn't break it!

Kitty, Nellie, my mother is a three quarters empty person too. How about a club - Aged, Akward Relatives Group Help!

My glass is usually three quarters full kitty.

Brimming over at the moment though...just had a call from 16 year old twin grandaughters who between them have achieved 2 x A* grade, 14 x A grade & 5 x B grade at GCSE. So proud!

I would take 'too damed cheerful' as a compliment kitty. Have a lovely day!! sunshine

Yesterday I went to visit my Mum who (this time!!!!) accused me of being too damned cheerful and said 'I can't stand people whose glass is half full' confused Is your glass half full or half empty?

I've told this thread to try to behave if I let it go out on it's own grin
