    Hi YoungBean glad to see you back! Good luck with continuing to lose weight :)

    Tagz - nightmare! Hope that gets sorted out quickly and smoothly for you.

    Great start for you Cathy :D Congrats to the other losers and Raph for SOTW!

    Efrieze great post about not making excuses with the exercise! 4lb gain doesn't sound too bad for a few weeks of avoiding weigh in :) I'm sure you'll get that shifted PDQ :)

    Sticking solidly to plan here, but I don't think the results will show this week because of TOTM. Always feels like much harder work when that happens doesn't it?! Been making myself useful though and reviewing finances, at least I've trimmed a bit of fat off some bills ;)

    Had a good day at france yesterday. Got up at 5:40am and go to cite europe at about 11:30!!!!! (french time) My mum says ive been spolit in my life, cos normally i go by the train. Im not going the ferry again, its blooming awful!! had a lovelly day, bought a lovelly nightie and loads of chocolate!! had a chinese for dinner too :D yummy!!

    Oh and i am also a mummy to a donkey!!! my godmother adopted a donkey called fred for me. wicked pressie!

    you know i said about that man who knocked our window screen off? well we got a quote, sent it up to him (it was for £89) he sent a cheque, we put it in and got the work done, aswell as having our door handle re put on and they only charged us £33!!! I feel a bit bad that weve taken £50 or so quid from him.

    Delly - hope youre doing ok

    The truth is vix, I suspect no one is born with the wisdom and knowledge we all wish we'd had at 22, and it is one of the great positive trade off's of getting older, that you care less & know yourself more. Ah, youth is so wasted on the young:rotfl: . Glad you had a brill day.
    LL thanks for the chart:T And congrats raph on SOTW. If I'd avoid that pasty it might have been me:D .
    Dragon - meant to send commisserations yesterday with the weight gain. The best you can credit your self with (and you deserve much credit) is that you do go back to the drawing board and get it off again as soon as you can take less meds.
    Delly, you are very much on my mind. I hope this bit is over asap. Glad you've got referals for as much support as poss and time off work.
    Youngbean - sorry to hear you've been having a rough time:grouphug: . Really great to have you back. Sounds good that you have your GP support, and good support from peeps who felt the CD route wasn't right for you.
    Victory - that dress look great. Really nice to think of you feeling good.All very well declarations going out about what you can and can't wear but on a budget life is not that simple, and that dress will do for all sorts of occasions.
    Tagz - how are you a few days on?
    Beanie - how are you doing?
    Bit of a duvet day here, so exciting plans to skulk in B&Q stoking storage systems had to be delayed.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once
  • Hi Everyone,

    Well - he's definitely gone for good. Cleared out stuff last night. I think it happened quickly because it was what both of us wanted. He did have an offer to stay at his dad's house but he didn't think he could cope with it. My famiily and friends have been overwhelmingly supportive the past day or two but to be honest, I really need some space to grieve my marriage, the future I'd planned and the second child I'd really hoped for. At 36 it's highly unlikely I'll have any more. I also need time to decide how I'm moving forward with my life. This break up has acutally opened up a lot of opportunities for me. I now can get the financial support from the Govt. that I need to get back to school and do something worthwhile instead of sitting in a job that I'm not really happy in and looking to leave

    At the moment kpc I'm not feeling a lot of relief. I'm glad I have some space. I'm really tired, glad I had the foresight to ask the dr. for some tranquillisers to help me get through these first difficult days, they are making a difference but I do want to work through my feelings naturally. I'm expecting a phone call from my work tomorrow to give me a time/date for an appointment in Belfast for counselling. I know it's far away from here, but it will mean I can have a full day to myself - MIL has offered to keep DS overnight so that I can take my time.

    my ex (first time I've said that) is taking DS for a few hours tomorrow so I will get some time to myself to sob if I want, but I'm not happy with DS staying overnight with him until he's properly introduced to the house and has time to settle into the idea that daddy lives somewhere else.

    Ah well - at least I can now indulge in an unadulterated crush on The Doctor.
    Goal for 09: Get fit and foxy. target weight 11st. 5/80.
    Get out of dead end job and work for career I always wanted.

    I feel for you delly. I keep starting my sentance and then deleting as not sure if what I have to say sounds right in print. I wanted to say that perhaps thinking of the bigger, wider picture is too overwhelming at the moment (ie the second child etc). Perhaps just dealing with OH's departure and the impact on your immediate position would be easier to come to terms with at the moment before addressing the knock-on effects. Well done for finding a way for DS to continue to spend time with OH - I am sure it woudl be easier to be angry and prohibit the relationship but well done for dealing with it in a sensible manor. I don't know what else to say to make you feel better and give you some strength.
