    I've managed to do a bit more sorting in the front room but why does it always have to get messier before it gets better :confused: Still, progress is being made :D Dinner has been cooked and eaten, and washing up done.

    Also ordered a book for a bargain price :T When I broke my arm I was reading the first one in a series and then promptly finished the second one in hospital! Came home planning to buy the third only to find it wasn't out until this week (nearly a year later!!!) Anyway, ordered it today, used a voucher and ended up having to pay £2.69 :D

    Cold has developed to include a lovely cough :rolleyes:

    Toots - hugs hugs :A you are entitled to not be your usual self. Glad today went ok and you have my thoughts and prayers for your treatment

    When I had my fire safety check (and new smoke alarms put up) a couple of years or so ago, I had three nice firemen in the house and their engine with a buddy in it parked up outside! :D

    well when my son set my kitchen on fire I had about 16 of them... so... ner!!

    Tea? TEA? Is banned from SW? :eek::eek::eek: I would have thought that was fine as long as there's not too many spoons of sugar in it.

    What a horrible person Boddy - I bet she's just jealous because you've done so well.


    Soappie No its not banned you can drink as much as you like. Im wondering whether she thinks she is funny. Sometimes I get cups of tea for the receptionists if they cant leave the office. The digs at the hospital have been. You are always sitting down. (Once in a shift) You are always talking to someone. ( Er thats my job) And yesterday as she walked past me she knocked me with her arm. I do think its jealousy for some reason. I cooled the friendship a long time ago as all she talked about was food. and her weight. Plus she made me feel extremely uncomfortable once on the main street by putting her arm around me physically in a unappropiate manner and place.

    Its making me cry and Im not normally like this.

    Boddy, it sounds like she took the rejection badly, and is now trying to humiliate you to get revenge. Definitely sounds like a nasty piece of work there. I think you're doing fantastically with the weight loss, and think you're amazing. I know it's easy to say, but try to ignore her - we're all your real friends, and we all think you're brilliant!

    Lasagne is going to go in the oven in a second, so keeping my fingers crossed that it turns out ok - I do think I need to adjust some of the quantities, or use a smaller dish though, but I'm sure it'll taste nice. OH is drooling whilst he's doing the washing up, cos he's starving and says it looks good. lol

    ETA - I defragged the pc whilst I was assembling the lasagne, so that's one thing off tomorrow's list. :)
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    (((((hugs))))) Boddy, try not to let her get to you, people like that are better ignored

    Right before I get a fluffy mule in my ear, will go dry and put away dishes, and make beds........
