Best & Worst bits of your week + what else is on your mind?

What were your highlights and lowlights of this week? And is there anything else you’d like to discuss? Well, you came to the right place. And now you can even upload a photo to go with your post. That’s the kind of service we provide around here. Fancy.
Me first.

BEST: Dinner with a beloved girlfriend I hadn’t seen in over a month. I had a sip of wine, a few bites of food, looked at my watch and suddenly the restaurant was closing. We’d been there 3 and a half hours. And barely drawn breath.

WORST: Nothing this week. After being in PNG last week, I’ve hugged my family close and felt grateful for pretty much everything.

ON MY MIND: I’m struggling to keep up with this 24hr news cycle. I want to read and watch everything about this election but alas it’s impossible. I wonder if this avalanche of information is causing our collective concentration spans to shrink……?

Don’t feel pressure to have all of the above. You might just have a best. Or a worst. Or something on your mind. Or a photo you’d like to share….it’s all good.

Remember to checkout the best photos of the week here and some excellent Brad (clean shaven!) and Angelina action, along with dozens of other red carpet looks from this week here.

BEST: saw my brother first time in 5mths after him being in the middle east fighting the war. he help his newphew whos now 5 and a half mnths. just amazing!!!

WORST: had an awful day let my parents look after my baby boy for a few hours as i was like the walking dead.. and he didn't even seem to be happy to see me... sometimes i just feel like all this effort and he doesn't even want to look at me. i know that thats not the case but sometimes can't help but to want to have a little sulk and as a mum now i dont often get the chance to.

ON MY MIND: first mum out of all my friends and it really gets to me that when i was pregant all of them were so involed but now theres not one in sight. just because i can't go clubbing (not that i would want to) doesn't mean i do miss a glass of wine a a good chat with adults =(

Hi all: Just read Mia's book and loved it! First time poster...

Best: Not many bests this week

Worst: Being stuck at home without a job...Got fired from work about 4 months ago after I disclosed to my boss that I suffered from depression and was wanting to have kids etc. It came totally out of the blue as I had been told by others I had been doing well in my job....so it was pretty much unfair dismissal as I received no warning. I guess she just didn't like me.....Anyway my husband and I have been battling on the last few months on one income to pay a mortgage, bills etc but we are fast running out of money and sanity.....

On my mind: Recently got offered a job but its a senior role and I am not sure I am up to the task. I start on Monday and am really not sure how I am going to cope. My confidence has been destroyed from my previous job, and I am as nervous as hell. Im worried that I will stuff it up and be back to where I started.

By now you have probably already settled in, but you shouldnt be nervous, if you were offered it someone had the confidence in you and you should too.

Just recently i have realised how much women under-estimate their abilities. Doing an Engineering degree lots of the boys i study with have been going for jobs which i saw and thought i wasnt ugood enough for. Sometimes they didnt get the job and other times they did, leaving me wondering why i hadnt applied when i had better skills than them!

so good luck i hope it is going well and if you feel like your downing for a while just fill you lungs with air to keep your self afloat.
