Happy Friday and welcome to one of the most popular posts of the week. It’s time to reflect on what’s happened during your week – the good, the bad and the in-between. Sharing is caring and for several years now, Mamamia readers have been gathering here on a Friday and over the weekend to trade highs and lows.

Best: This may not seem like a very big highlight, but when you get to my ‘worst’ I’m sure you’ll understand. This week I was lucky enough to interview one of the curators at the Powerhouse Museum for a university assignment. After taking me through each of the current fashion exhibitions running, we stopped briefly at The Wiggles exhibition and I was urged by the curator to check it out while I was there. So after our interview was complete, I ventured onwards into the cave of crazed children jumping on big red cars and cheering for Dorothy the Dinosaur. Now I’m only 22 [and three-quarters], which means The Wiggles were most definitely of my time and walking through the exhibition was like stepping back into my 5-year-old self. An age that I’m sure was much less complicated. A time when it wasn’t about reaching deadlines, saving money and working hard, but it was about which toy I would play with today, who my best friend would be at Kindy for the next 5 hours and the annoyance of having to rewind my Wiggles cassette tape so I could listen to that hot potato song a tenth time. A flashback to simpler times was definitely what I needed this week.

Hi,I would just like to say what a great Article by Kim Roach it
When is something good ever going to happen? I do not want to feel sorry for myself but I'm worn out trying to cope with everything. I recently had to cope with losing all my belongings every single thing I owned with the exception of my computer & a bag of clothes.
A week ago I had to be taken to hospital an emergency. Whilst there my computer a 5 yr old mac with all my work ( I am self employed) & my personal stuff including the only photos I had left was stolen. I had no backup as my external hard drive was recently thrown out with everything else. I'd just got a new laptop but didn't have the right lead to transfer over the files
But they left the brand new laptop which was next to the old desktop and they pulled out the power cord & left it so they can't even turn the computer! Plus it's password protected so can't use it
My computer is worthless to everybody but me. It's 40 kilos, old but it's my entire livelihood. I desperately need it. All my work of 10 years is on it
Incredibly the police came to my house to check on my dogs while I was in hospital & they left the back & front doors open! That's how the thief got in
I cant believe it. I lost my home 3 yrs ago when I was assaulted by my ex. Then I lost my beautiful soul mate. Then I lost my baby. Due to miscarriage. I tried to kill myself & was in a coma for a week then just out of hospital my partner left me. It's taken me two years to get back on my feet then few weeks ago lost everything I owned. Now this.
I can't work without my computer it has everything on it
My friend reckons I must have been hitler in previous life! How much can a person take? I'm struggling to cope I don't know way to do. Sorry for the whine everyone
