2 jumpers for AF every day!

Hi all - not many updates from yest. unless I've missed some - can always come back & update this if you let me know.

Hi to Newbies!

Well done Jo :T & NTC :T on superlative efforts right at the end!

Loads of posts to catch up on....Fluffy I don't know how much it's contributed but I've taken milk thistle for years.

Well NTC - notebook at the ready? Go girl!!

Oh yeah the weight loss thing....I still weigh what I did at the start of 2008!! Have just signed up for a weekly tums & bums class (OMG haven't exercised since 1987), borrowed a huge t-shirt from OH to hide the fat bits, & WILL lose 18lbs by summer! I was sort of pleased at last year's bad summer as I couldn't do my shorts up. Anyway, this is relevant as most of my calorie intake is 13% proof.

Winebox its me can I have a jumpy thingy please for doing my target? Sorry to be a pain, its only a small thing I know but getting one of those has kept me going. :j
Re: the weightloss you don't need to tell me, after 2 months af I though I would have lost at least half a stone plus. (Thats gotta be the most disappointing thing so far).
Thanks again, take care hugs. xxxxxx

1=I missed my mouth at one point and tipped red wine all down my lovely Topshop dressing gown :mad:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I once fell asleep on the sofa whilst hugging a glass of red wine, & was wearing my most expensive bra (TMI?) so refuse to throw it out & the stain (a sort of mauve/grey now, on white cotton) (TMI again?) is still there to make me cringe.

Cheers mate. Maybe it was the stress of the responsibilty that made my Feb so carp. Then again, maybe not.

Just make sure people don't play fast & loose with the jumpers.

Re: the tree hugger thingy, its just my interest in a new age life style. I am trying to be a better me and look at myself more internally instead of just externally. Am I making any sense? Contentment comes from within, I am a pretty grounded person and don't strive for what I cannot have. I used to go on a crystal course, really enjoyed it met lots of different people. Believe me there were some characters there, but it all felt normal when in that environment. When I came home though I couldn't decide if I had just been somewhere totally fantastic or totally wacky? Thats the two sides of my brain working against each other. But what the heck I enjoyed myself and thats what counts. So there is a little me in here somewhere that wants to be a better me. Work in progress for now, but pleased I am still off the red wine. Lets hope it continues for a long long time to come.

Hugs to you, bet you glad you asked now? :rotfl:

I kind of understand I think - from my own point of view - I should be very very content - but I am utterly not - and I don't understand why.

Somehow its like my brain hasn't caught up with my life or something? Now who's non-sensical.??

There is nothing about the way that we live really that should sustain any kind of relationship with alcohol - and yet its all tangled up together somehow - I can't decide where it all fits in - because its all at odds with each ohter if that makes any sort of sense??

The thing I seek most in the universe is contentment so I wish you ever so much good luck yourself.

Never thought of our life as new age - more like the clampets meets the goodlife meets david bellamy

When me and OH got married 5 years ago I had a beautiful white wedding dress.....at the beginning of the day.... by the end I had a sort of red and white wedding dress.It now sits in the attic that very same colour....kind of mauve/grey patches all over it especially down the cleavage area where I completely missed my mouth.....I have quite a habit of doing that!It also has a huge grass stain up the back of it where I fell over,ah im one classy lady
