Where are you?

mogchops

Still heeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeee

I do post most days on the "what small DFW things have you done" thread......just dont always manage to get back to my own thread

All ok though, still doing the healthy eating, trousers getting looser :j

Quiet weekend coming up, DD is off to a Brownie sleepover so one less in the house, not that the noise level will change much! We are also buying same DD a new bike tomorrow, but out of her savings account, so its her money. We have sold her old one to a friend, which helps too. She has just simply outgrown it, my little girl is becoming a big girl!

been tidying the garden, all coming along nicely, had about 10 strawberries now, & got a flower on the courgette!!

The_Golden_Goose

Pleased to hear that you are becoming slim jim! Its all progress my dear!

I used to be on the small dfw today thread, though as I am not online everyday I have let that one slip a bit. If in the future I do get a lappy and I can log on all the time, then I will surely commit back to it.

At the min, I am sticking to my diary and stalking, errr, I mean following a few others with interest!!!!

Be good and don't spend!

Hmmmm. Time for a big Mogchops update..........

So much for the daily posting........I did try honest guv, time just runs away with meeeeeeeeee

Had a bit of a stress thing going on, been off work since last Thurs, had a panic attack in the morning. Finally saw doctor yesterday, & been signed off work for 2 weeks. Am relieved, in that it removes one factor of pressure, so I can now concentrate on bringing down stress levels & getting back to normal service. Its not work related, just a combination of everything I think, but problem is, it goes straight for my tummy, so I end up with constant upset tum, which stresses me even more when leaving the house, as I worry that I'm going to be ill & wont get to the loo, iyswim.

Have been trying very hard to combat it this week, been out on my bike every day which is good, & been to school & back fine, & managed small go in sainsburys yesterday. At least with this heat dont feel like eating much anyway.....its doing wonders for the (intentional)weight loss :rolleyes::o

Anyway....enough moaning on. DH has been absolutely brilliant, he is so wonderful and supportive, I am so lucky, he really is one in a million. DDs are both fine, apart from melting in this heat bless em!! So hard to sleep at night.

Money wise - not too bad, got £76 coming from Quidco :j:j will go towards holiday spends. Its 3 weeks today, I cant wait!!!!

*focus on the holiday, focus on the holiday*

Sorry to hear you arent 100% but at least now you have some time off to recouperate. Stress plays havoc with the body. Had 5 weeks off earlier this year spent the first two sleeping

Good news on Quidco always a helping hand

I had a panic attack once. It was awful. Downright scary mary.

Hope you are ok now and pleased that the Drs are helping you out and I hope that the meds are taking effect.

Still here, still alive!!!!! :rotfl:

Still off work, which is a blessing, just concentrating on getting through one day at a time. Had first counselling session last Friday, which was good, and she has referred me to another lady who does a therapy called EMDR, which they think will be very beneficial for me to sort out my head. Went to see second lady today and went well, so am feeling positive about that. Just want to be sorted enough to go on holiday (in 2 weeks!!) without having major stress!!!!

In other news.....all pretty much ok, am cycling every day which is good for the lardy tum :rotfl:and clears the head too. Garden is looking good, have harvested broad beans, carrots and potatoes!! All very exciting.

DDs have both gone up a level in swimming, very proud!! All looking forward to doing lots of swimming on holiday. Have been looking online at the pools & slides where we are going and it looks fabulous!!!

Focus on the positive!!!!

mogchops

oooohhh.....naughty Mogchops.........not updated diary for 10 days :eek::eek::o But I am ok!

Have had 2 sessions with the new counsellor, incorporating the EMDR therapy, and it has most definitely helped. Its only 4 days till holiday now, and I actually feel that I will be able to relax and enjoy it!! :j:j Fabulous.

Got paid today - with £400 extra!!!!! :beer::beer: From a bonus and backdated payrise!! Wow does my bank account look healthy this morning, hasnt been that full for years!!! No worries about spends on holiday now!! :j

Very very exciting day coming up today - a wedding!!!! Well technically a wedding blessing, my stepbrother got married in Australia in April (he is English but lives there now) and he has brought his lovely new wife over here and they are having their wedding blessed in my mums local village church, and my DDs are their flowergirls!!! :D Its so exciting, cant wait, girls are up and excited already!! And I get to wear my beautiful dress, its gorgeous, dont get the chance to dress up very often!!

And then we are off on holiday to France on Wednesday, so its all systems go!!! Exciting times for the Mogchops household!
