Just been to SW/fat club - lost another 1.5lbs this week :j - on target to lose a stone by Easter as long as not tempted by the mountain of chocs still left over from Xmas - I WILL get into a bikini in August (without scaring small children
)
Just seen Mudbath's post - embb ((hugs)) - hope your furry likkle critter is hibernating not deceased, 'cause hammies are lovely - keep us updated (and of course its normal to bawl xxx)I'd rather be watching CSI!0 -
embb hugs and no and we all howl when a pet dies - its only natural - they are part of the family - what about pouring some boiling water over a patch of the garden so you can bury her???
polly sounds like you need a big squishy hug
and we care - even if I did miss your stars! I am sure you wouldnt like your house to be messy again - why dont you treat yourself to a nice cuppa and a favourite cake or chocolate - and watch some tv - maybe you just need a rest.
LG
