Thanks angelpye. If you'd have told me two years ago that I would be a weightlifting gym-bunny I would have laughed in your face! I can't believe the difference it's made to me though


For those with littlies who are struggling at school...


As a person who was a very sensitive child and was bullied very badly for years (to the point that I used to feign illness to get out of going) and got to a very dark place in lots of ways...
You are all doing a fab job, and your children will appreciate and remember your support.
Angelpye - what you said about showing your dd that it's not ok, and that she doesn't have to accept that treatment from people is so important. I wish that someone had told me that. When I was small, the party line was "kids are mean, you'll just have to ignore it".
You are all raising amazing people who will be strong and know their worth

Sorry to hear things were so bad for you Carrie. And thank you for the wise words.

Evening all
Shattered.com Didn't sleep at all well, and had little GD all day - and she was in a particularly demanding mood as she is poorly with yet another cold

Anyway, small things:
No heating, about to ask OH to light the wood stove though, as it is chilly now!
Dog walk for free exercise
More exercise walking into town with GD
Free cake from DD this morning
Surveys for onepoll and ipsos
RM surveys tasks
Claimed a £10 Amazon gift card from ipsos
HM meals from stores

Not very exciting, hoping to be less tired tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing Carrie, sounds like such an awful time for you.

I don't think I will ever be a weightlifting gym bunny!

Evening all,

I am just waiting for my dinner - late due to DD's club and she eats a car picnic on the way. By the time we get back there isn't always the time to feed myself before she goes to bed. I am starving but determined not to pick so distracting myself on here. I have lost 3lbs over the last month and although I am not a dieter or particularly overweight I could do with loosing another 9... the clothes I fit into are rather tight and then there's the ones I can't really wear but love. A few pounds will make them fit ok and a few more will make them look lovely. All this MSing on my shopping bill is helping cos you can't pick if there is nothing to pick at!

Today was a good day at Pye towers and looking forward to a nice quiet evening of chilling - might see if any fils on BBCiPlayer worth a watch.

Have a good evening all!

I got up early this morning to take back the trousers I bought for the job I didn't start, as I was waiting outside for them to open I got a call from the other branch (the one I thought I was applying to in the first place) asking if I was still interested in a job I applied for there. I explained that I've just taken a six week booking but will be looking again afterwards and he didn't seem to think that was a problem and has put my application on hold for a bit.

I bought lunch today, my usual soup is playing havoc with my bad tooth. I decided on a pack of sausage rolls so I have enough left for tomorrow and Friday too.

Dinner tonight was pretend N@ndos for the teens and I had a jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw. I'm not eating much at the moment but am totally craving orange juice, there will be no colds here!

I did a bit of jiggery pokery tonight with bank accounts and printed out the label for my eBay package and dropped it to the shop who I've just realised stay open late which is better that trying to do it in the morning.

I did a small shop at the mid sized Mr T for snacks for the teens for the next couple of days and the £4 Easter eggs I bought two of on Saturday are now half price :mad: I'm going to go through my purse to try to find the receipt because I am SO taking them back for a refund and re buying! I did manage to get 27 wombled clubcard points added though
