    Very well Ziggles, haven't written any Xmas cards though and am wondering whether to bother or not?!

    Hi

    Not been around much this week, feeling a bit low :o Have decided to give myself a break over Christmas - no dieting or debt busting! I am getting nowhere and it is making me miserable

    Work night out tomorrow, then friends round on Sunday :D

  • I think there must be something in the air Shoe gal, I have felt really sad this week, If I couldn't come on here and read the diaries and the chat I think I would go bonkers.

    Sounds like a good weekend there tho, enjoy my lovely friend

    xxxxxxxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Don't sweat the small stuff....and it IS small stuff!:cool:
    you are not exactly sitting on your butt doing nothing about anything- you have a plan and are working at it even if it's not really working. so just take it easy and relax and give yourself a chance to enjoy the holidays- Don't even think about the diet or Money saving (unless it involves going crazy with your wallet:rolleyes:)

    You can always just get the hell back on that horse when you are a bit better and relaxed and had some fun.
    Plus we will all encourage each other as usual which soooo helps!
    I'm off to a teeny village on west coast ALONE for 6 days over Christmas because i need thetime out/alone-ness away from people just pleasing myself- knew Xmas would be a bit carppy considering the state of my little world so got it organised as some self care time away!

    Rambling now.....:o

    party your butt off at the Christmas do and have a great weekend:D

    Hey Souk- If you're asking you don't really feel like it....then just don't.
    Go on try it- hand over a pressie with no card- or EVEN no pressie AND no card:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    And wait for the shock and disbelief hehehehe!

    Now now Shoe Gal my lovely,

    me thinks you are forgetting that you are indeed most Fabulous & :A & we all love you :D.

    Like you & Buffy I'm also feeling rather low :( If it wasnt for my new best friend ( Gordon ;)) I would probably be a snivelling wreck hiding under the duvet.

    Hope you fell better soon & if you need a more confidential rant then my PM box is always open.

    hugs to you

    Lula

    I want one of those ...........:rolleyes:. Have a break, if you need one, Shoe Gal and come back fighting in the New Year. My dieting goal this month is to put on 1/2 stone, as this will be a big improvement over last December when I put on a whole stone :eek:.

    Baby steps (they would have to be in those red boots, which i'd like too :rolleyes: ). See, we need your glamour.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Work do was Ok, work-do ish! :D

    Have painted my hall today, need to finish off tomorrow. Plan to finish my shopping tomorrow too, and have friends over in the evening

    Plans for next year are starting to float around in my head - but nothing definate yet. I sort of know what I want to achieve but a lot of it is the same as this year - so the execution has to be better somehow :o
