Welcome to Best and Worst of the Week.
If you’re new like me (I’ve just started as an intern here at Mamamia), this is what you need to know: Best and Worst is one of our favourite parts of the site where we can all catch up and share the good, bad and anything in between with each other. You can sound off on the news, get a bad day off your chest or share your proud moments. We’re here to hear it all.
Here’s how I’m feeling about the week that has just been…
Best: Spending time with my niece Ally yesterday. Ally was too unwell for preschool so spent the day camped out on the lounge with me. We watched Disney Junior, talked about her sisters and ate yummy sandwiches.
It was very relaxing, which is not normal for Ally. She’s very adventurous, and has more energy than you can keep up with. Ally is also quite honestly the funniest child I know, and she’s not even 4 yet. Some of Ally’s best quotes from our day together included telling me ‘Zoee, we are both LOTS sick today so it’s good that we are together so other people don’t get sick’, and ‘I have snot coming out of my nose, Mummy calls it mucus but I like saying snot much better’.
Worst: I’m pretty crook at the moment. It is a miracle I made it into the Mamamia office today as I’ve had the last two days off uni and work. It has put me in a really bad mood because I like being on top of things. When I’m sick I have no energy, no enthusiasm and feel like everything just isn’t running smoothly.
* As I’ve been writing this post, the Mamamia office has been intently watching the Labor leadership spill coverage on the TV. If you’re up for it, you can read about what happened and share your thoughts on the Australian political landscape here.
So, now it’s your turn. What is your best and worst this week?

Best - Finally got the submission details for my application for Defective administration against Nicola Roxon. She lied to us when we needed the truth after my wifes death due to cancer. We lost our home and a lovely B&B in Byron Bay. She had told us we had no options for funding for overseas cancer treatment (another story for another time). I have since found out we had a number of options but now our case is too old for me to avail myself of any of them.
Worst - Finally submitting the CDDA application. What a mountain of paperwork. At least I have all the evidence, scans, receipts, TV story tapes and newspaper articles from Australia wide. Wish me luck
Hey MMers
Very late to check in but here goes.
Best: Kid free weekend with my lovely man. Looking forward to just being boringly domesticated and happy. Had a rehearsal with my new band on Wednesday and it was fantastic. We are really comng together and I'm secretly pinching myself that I'm working with two really incredible musos. Tuesday night I jammed with another bunch of musos and was asked to work with a few more over the next week. Just such an aesome feeling to be asked.
Worst: Farking Kareoke Man still causing dramas - 5 months after I dated the loser for a whole 6 weeks. Gossip is still raging. Apparently I have been reported to DoCs - primarily because I have a dog in my house who occasionally pees inside and has torn a net curtain. Curiously though - it was the same little pooch whom he belted. Bloke is ropable - so much so that he wants us to rock up to kareoke next week just to show the gossips they can jam it. He also suggested I wear a dress ring on my left hand lol.
Trying to rise above it but makes me think some people need to get out more!
