Good things:
My daughter sold me a flatscreen monitor for a silly price (she got it from a neighbour and probably didnt cost her the 40 squid it cost me) which is good for my in-desk experience;
Made the first moves in subbing out a large part of my job responsibilities;
M returned the £500 I lent her to get her over her selling-her-house hiatus;
the Boy is happily ensconsed in Caracas;
M is happy to discuss a joint bank account and ready to go ahead with it (like we were married already: it has only taken 9 years to build her confidence)
And I saw and heard a Raven at Livermead, Torquay. Bizarre but true. I didnt know they were thriving so much.
Bad Things:
Boss is leaving;
Colleague is leaving;
I have no idea how to do whatever it is they do;
I may get promoted above my abilities;
I may have to replace boss at arguing with Councillors;
I am shy and fearful beyond the bounds of possibility;
End of fixed rate has driven my very old and formerly cheap mortgage up to 700 of your English pounds;
That's life innit? and dad will aid me when things are really dark

Andy,
Look, matey, I'm sorry to say this but 'got it from a neighbour'...
Oh, and people ALWAYS get promoted beyond their abilities.
The word BROWN comes to mind.
You are not your boss and you are not your colleague; Casey Jones, steamin' an a rollin' et bloody cetera.
