I normally have to tell someone that i have good news, as i feel like i am going to explode other wise.I have only told my mum aswell as my husband my good news and i soo want to tell a friend or a few friends, but for now i will keep it to myself as that way i know that noone else who i do not want to find out will get to hear.

I usually feel I have to tell someone! I usually tell my mother first and then a few friends. I don't worry about someone finding out. It's good news, so what do I care who knows?

when there is good news i tell my wife. then i tell my mother. well it depends on what good news you have right now. if its winning a lottery then i think i should keep my mouth shut first. its hard when its about money for people will be at your doorstep har har har. i am sure that even the people you are not friends with will be your friends.

I do tend to tell my husband, as well as the rest of the family, as i know that it makes their day.I think that there are times where i have been busting to just tell anyone as well as everyone, a bit like today.At the moment i really love the post man and he can bring me more letters like the ones i got yesterday, as well as today.Have a great new year.

I normally buys myself a cake or an ice cream whenever i have a good news..it's my way of saying i'm happy and delighted..then i will post about it in my facebook and call a few friends..actually whenever i have a good news i can't keep my mouth shut though sometimes holding it back is good but most of the time i can't stop being showy about it..

Well i have had good news again and i will share in good time on here.I feel that no sooner we get good news there is the bad news that will follow.No matter what happens and if i get bad news now, nothing can spoil my happiness.It is great when we get good news and near christmas is even better.

I'd love to be near you when you have good news! I'd eat the cake and ice-cream for you. 
It's nice to have good news to share. It doesn't make your life seem completely pointless.

Ghee, I haven't had any in so along.....! What do I do? I usually am excited and hurriedly call someone I am close with and tell them. Ya, you have to tell someone or you could literally expoid. Hehehe And that wouldn't be good at all. Good news is great. Do you really have some. Happy for you if you do.

I would think about who I'm going to tell it to and to who first and then tell them.

Hello iwinagain
Me too, I would think who I should tell them the good news.
After many times of bad experiences, I decided I won't tell everything to people, escpecially my family. To many times, they dampened my spirits and I found no interests to tell my good news to them while they are not interested. After too many years, I know exactly what they might find interested, I would only tell the good news I think they would like to listen to, or else, I would never mention those to them.
The best audience now is my hubby, he shows he care about what have happened to me and always saying positives to me. I am more happy after telling him my good news.

I do tend to tell the family first and i do think that it is not always a wise choice to let other people know all the good things that are going on in your life.I think that it is great that i have just got more good news and that i do not care what bad news comes to me, if there is bad news.I can not wait for the new year to start.

I have had great news again today, i have told my husband, or should i say that my husband was here when i got the news.My mother will get to hear the good news as well as see why i am in such a great mood.I do not think that anyone can wipe the smile off my face in a hurry.

I feel like exploding too when I have good news. I would get so excited that I would be jumping up and down even if I am in public. Then I would try to tell someone, calling my mother or trying to find a friend. Still, when I actually do find someone, they would have to hear me screaming and yipping for five to ten minutes before they could get the good news out of me.

I feel very excited to get the good news.. I always jumped up and scream if it is an much awaited good news...It really a great feeling always as usual and I always pray for a good news..

Good news! What is this mysterious good news? 
Whenever I get good news, I struggle to hold it in. I feel that I just have to tell everyone. I usually tell my wife first and then she tells everyone else!

I do find that when we get good new, we do not tend to hold on to it for long, as i usually feel like i am going to explode unless i tell a person what it is.My family are always the first people that hear the good news.I feel that next year is only going to get better.Merry christmas and a happy new year.

I know what you mean when you say if you do not want anyone else to know, but on here i do not have that worry as such.I do tend to tell the family, but i will say that my husband is always the first to know.I know that christmas is going to be good and can not wait for the new year to start.

Right now with the good news that i have just had, i could shout it from the roof tops, but i wont.I can not wait to see my mother as i know that she will be happy with the news that i have.I always seem to tell the family all the things that are really good that are happening in my life.

I tend not to tell people that i have bad, as i feel that it putsa dampener on their mood, so they only get told the good thins.I love to see my mothers face when i tell her the good things that are going on in my life, as it puts a great big smile on her face.

Hi jugs...
Usually if I had this really good thing going on is that I can't sleep when I don't tell it to someone. There is some burning thing inside which I can't help but share it to all. Good news is something you share it with. Someone who knows how you feel about it and understands why you are very happy about it.

I usually feel like I have to tell someone too. If I don't, I feel like I might burst into a million pieces. IT does depend on the good news though. The better the news, the more people I need to tell. These people are usually my friends or family though. I don't go telling strangers.

I love to see my mums face when i tell her the good things that are going on in my life, as her smile says it all.My husband says that today i am like the cat with the cream, as i am in a really great mood.Nothing will dampen my mood for some time, no matter what bad news i get.

Okay, I'll bite. What is your good news? If you don't want to say in open discussion, message me, my friend. I could use some good news now that I'm facing disaster. 
I know the feeling, although I don't get it much anymore. I remember what it was like to be on top of the world. Hugs!

I like to tell family, as they are the closest things that you can have as friends.I think that there are good news that we get as well as bad news to follow.But with the good news we have got i know that nothing can put a dampener on my mood, no matter what happens.
