    Hello Hypno,

    between yesterday and this morning, I have read through your full diary.
    You truely are an inspiration. Im usually on the Old style board, and came onto the DFW board to look for advice for my sister, and then throught I would look at other peoples diaries to see how they deal with things and hopefully, I can pass some advice onto my sister, so, I read yours first.

    I wish my sister had the same determination as you to become DFW, however, I think she still has to have her proper LBM, because just now, I dont think it has actually hit her although, she knows she has to do something.

    Im going to keep reading your diary, so I hope you dont mind.


    Jackie xx

    Hi guys - especially jackie_w, always nice to see new faces, and always amazing to think that someone takes the time to read the whole thing!

    Just back from skiing - no lay in at all, because the children need to be at the relevant slope by 8........and today's slope was about an hour and a half's drive away. That is pretty close really - normally I have to drive further. I am absolutely shattered now, though and will be having an early night ready for work tomorrow.

    Shaun, you have walked a good amount - you are putting me to shame as I still haven't done any more running......

    Walshy, hope you had a good day with the folks. The weather has been lovely today - just right for skiing.....not!!

    Thanks taxi, yes it was a reasonable day, but I am really really tired! I am just waiting for the clock to tell me it is a reasonable time to go to bed! Somehow I can't bring myself to go to bed at 7!!

    thanks p.....have replied!

    I have been uber organised for tomorrow and made couscous with roasted vegetables for packed lunches tomorrow.......just hope everyone appreciates it - it certainly smells good! OH is starting a mega run of extra shifts, so is working back to back shifts every day, including weekends, for the next couple of weeks. Good for the "making up shortfall" and for debt repayments but I am fully expecting a good amount of tiredness and grumpyness. Well within reason - he will be working far too much really, and it will be making for a difficult couple of weeks with us all tetchy and tired!

    a token effort only.......

    That is where my organisational skills end today - the school uniform is still in the tumble drier - I forgot to wash it early enough to take advantage of the good weather, and hang it on the line.......
