Hello lovely Mamamia readers and welcome to best and worst.
I’m sure you’re all familiar with this segment but for those of you that have been living under a rock, this is how it works.
I’ll kick start the mischief by sharing with you the best and worst parts of my week. And then you can tell me (and by ‘me’ I mean the world wide web) yours.
But, this week, just to confuse you, I’m going to start with the worst and surprise you with the best.
Worst:
Picture this. It’s 6:00pm, Tuesday afternoon and it’s been a gruelling first day back at work after the shenanigans that were the Australia Day long weekend. Wanting nothing more than to answer the siren song of my couch, I made my way home eagerly… only to discover a deluge of vomit obstructing my way. It seemed my beloved cat, Thomas O’Malley Meowerson, had endured a worse day than me.
Unfortunately my poor little critter has reached the ripe old age of 14 – that’s 98 in human years. With this in mind, I wasted no time and rushed Thomas to the emergency vet.
But, now for the best…
Best:
After spending many hours tip-toeing the length of my apartment, back and forth, my vet informed me that T-Cat was doing just fine. After a lengthy stay in hospital (or day spa, I can’t quite decide) Thomas is now back with me on the couch.
Hooray.
Enough from this cat lover. What’s been happening in your world?

Best: I am on a waiting list for a puppy! Very excited to meet the new family member.
Worst: PMS. Strikes badly for 2-3 days every month, and I am an emotional rollercoaster. Seems to be getting worse as I'm getting older. I really became aware of my cycles when I had my two kids and have noticed a pattern in the past four years: diet becomes carbs the week before my period is due, pants become tight, and then emotions go crazy. Can't believe it took my 15 years to recognise it.
Best: My hubby-to-be gets home tomorrow, after being away for 3 weeks. I also got an interview for a promotion position at work
Worst: I know that 3 of my best friends and colleagues at work also have interviews for the same role. Also, I think I might be pregnant 😳 my partner and I are sooo ontop of contraception (I take the pill AND he uses condoms) but I missed a pill 2 days in a row and only realized the next evening (took both at this time, even though I usually take them in the morning) and then the next day my partner didn't realize we were out of condoms till it was too "late" - so to speak. I am due for my period and it usually comes in 2-3 days after taking sugar pills... It's been 5
