    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Tootles - i'm happy to be working again but stoopidly tired! At least i'm sleeping well! The good thing is the weight is falling off me as i'm just back to eating regular meals and my hormones aren't up the spout for the first time in my life. Can't be bad. Is it bed time yet?:rotfl: I'm only doing two quick clients in the morning then i'm going to take stripes for a long walk and rest for the rest of the day. Can't wait! How are you doing? Well I hope!

    I think it's time for us all to start the 'money is coming easy to flyladies' mantra - I for one could do with a few more squiddlies! So...I'll start it up....
    'money and good health is coming easily to flyladies....money and good health is coming easily to flyladies.........:D xx
