    Well that'stoday nearly over.I have managed to stick to my diet plan for two days.Haven't done much today only washing and cooking tea.I am trying to do a bit of exercise each day so tomorrow even if it'spouring down as it has today I will walk to the office to put my cheque in and then have a walk to lidl to buy milk and toilet rolls.Both are in the opposite direction.I could go to Aldi as that is near the office but I don't think their milk is as cheap as lidl and as they say every penny counts.
    Need to update sig as my weight is wrong ..I've put myself down as 2lbs heavier than she wrote in my book for some reason ...lol...so I only have 8st 6lb to lose...lol

    Taxi well done on the debt busting and with taking control of your weight. I am glad that they are looking at your back to though, because having pain is not condusive to exercising.

    Ref you DGS acting up, the worst ever. Even though he may not outwardly saying anything about the split, this sort of acting out is his way or showing how upset he is. He is doing it with you because you are a safe person to do it with if that makes sense.

    Penguin, you're in Liverpool! I didn't realise! Hi there...

    Taxi - just wanted to agree with what Chev said about you being the safe peson for DGS to act up with - thats the way it happens. Its a pain to be the safe one in this instance, I know, but its good for him that he's got someone safe who's a constant and not involved in the split. Lots of hugs to you both.

    Hi all...you could be right re..little man but his mum says he does it quite often when out shopping and has done since being little though he's never done that with me before.
    Just had some good news ....my DD has just had a call from my DSs commanding officer from his ship to say that my son is on his way back to ship having been released from the Saudi prison and that he will get punishment on ship but will still keep his job.The solicitor from the embassy got him off the charges as the police officers had kept changing their stories so therefore it was untrue..so that'sthe good news for the day.

    Oh my god thats fantastic news! Very happy for him, but awful that he's spent this long in the Saudi prison, I hope he gets over that soon.

    I'm so glad he changed his solicitor as the other one hadn't picked up on all the discrepancies with the police accounts!!!!...the first solicitor said he'd get between 6 months and 3 years and the new one that he saw last week said that he would manage to get him out before his next court appearance would've been due next month.It was nice of his commanding officer to phone and let us know.
    I haven't had any calls from my son as he probably thought it would be safer dealing with his sister...lol...
    It's a massive relief ..apparently his ship is due back beginning of december so will get to see him then.He stays at DDs when he's on leave so that's why she is the contact.
    I only have a 2 bed house and my other DD lives here so no room for him.He's been in that jail 2 1/2 months..what a waste!!!!!
